Abstract

A coating on an anode active material that includes a metal salt with two or more sulfonates or a metal salt of oxocarbonic acid.

Claims (28)

1. A battery comprising:

a cathode;

an anode; and

an electrolytic solution,

wherein,

the anode comprises an anode current collector, an anode active material layer on the anode current collector, and a coating on the anode active material layer, and

the coating comprises at least one of a metal salt represented by Chemical Formula 3 and a metal salt of oxocarbonic acid,

where Chemical Formula 3 is:

where (i) M represents a metal element, (ii) each of a, b, c and d represent an integer of 0 or more, (iii) the sum of b+d≧2, (iv) the sum of a, b, c and d is an integer of 2 or more, (v) the sum of a and b is an integer of 1 or more, (vi) each of e, f, g and h represent an integer of 1 or more, (vii) each of R1 and R2 represent an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group, a trialkylsilyl group or a halogenated group of any of the alkyl group, an alkenyl group, an alkynyl group or trialkylsilyl group, which are the same or different from each other and (viii) R3 represents a hydrocarbon group, and

the metal salt of oxocarbonic acid is dilithium squarate.

2. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the metal element is an alkali metal element or an alkaline-earth element.

3. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the coating includes a metal salt of oxocarbonic acid, the oxocarbonic acid including an ester bond.

4. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the metal salt represented by Chemical Formula 3 is dilithium ethanedisulfonate, dilithium propanedisulfonate, dilithium sulfoacetate, dilithium sulfopropionate, dilithium sulfobutanoate, dilithium sulfobenzoate, dilithium succinate, trilithium sulfosuccinate, magnesium ethanedisulfonate, magnesium propanedisulfonate, magnesium sulfoacetate, magnesium sulfopropionate, magnesium sulfobutanoate, magnesium sulfobenzoate, magnesium succinate, trimagnesium disulfosuccinate, calcium ethanedisulfonate, calcium propanedisulfonate, calcium sulfoacetate, calcium sulfopropionate, calcium sulfobutanoate, calcium sulfobenzoate, calcium succinate or tricalcium disulfosuccinate.

5. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the coating includes at least one of an alkali metal salt or an alkaline-earth metal salt.

6. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the anode active material layer comprises at least one of a simple substance of silicon, an alloy of silicon, a compound of silicon, a simple substance of tin, an alloy of tin or a compound of tin.

7. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolytic solution comprises a cyclic carbonate including an unsaturated bond.

8. The cyclic carbonate according to claim 7 wherein the amount of the cyclic carbonate including unsaturated bond is in the electrolytic solution is within a range of of 0.01 wt % to 10.0 wt %, both inclusive.

9. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolytic solution includes at least one of a chain carbonate represented by Chemical Formula 4, or a cyclic carbonate represented by Chemical Formula 5,

where Chemical Formula 4 is:

where in Chemical Formula 4 (i) each of R11, R12, R13, R14, R15 and R16 represent a hydrogen group, a halogen group, an alkyl group or a halogenated alkyl group, and may be the same as or different from one another, and (ii) at least one of R11, R12, R13, R14, R15 or R16 is a halogen group or a halogenated alkyl group, and the halogen is at least one kind selected from the group consisting of fluorine (F), chlorine (Cl) and bromine (Br),

where Chemical Formula 5 is:

and

where in Chemical Formula 5, (i) each of R21, R22, R23 and R24 represent a hydrogen group, a halogen group, an alkyl group or a halogenated alkyl group, and may be the same as or different from one another, and (ii) at least one of R21, R22, R23 or R24 is a halogen group or a halogenated alkyl group, and the halogen is at least one kind selected from the group consisting of fluorine, chlorine and bromine.

10. The battery according to claim 9 , wherein the electrolyte solution comprises at least one of fluoromethyl methyl carbonate, bis(fluoromethyl) carbonate difluoromethyl methyl carbonate,4-fluoro-1,3-dioxolane-2-one or 4,5-difluoro-1,3- dioxolane-2-one.

11. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolytic solution includes a sultone.

12. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolytic solution includes an acid anhydride.

13. The battery according to claim 1 further comprising an oxide coating in-between the anode active material layer and the coating.

14. The battery according to claim 13 wherein the oxide coating includes at least one kind of oxide selected from the group consisting of an oxide of silicon, an oxide of germanium and an oxide of tin.
