Abstract

A non-aqueous liquid electrolyte suitable for use in a non-aqueous liquid electrolyte secondary battery comprising a negative electrode and a positive electrode, capable of intercalating and deintercalating lithium ions, and the non-aqueous liquid electrolyte, the negative electrode containing a negative-electrode active material having at least one kind of atom selected from the group consisting of Si atom, Sn atom and Pb atom, wherein the non-aqueous liquid electrolyte comprises a carbonate having at least either an unsaturated bond or a halogen atom.

Claims (25)

1. A non-aqueous liquid electrolyte secondary battery, comprising:

a positive electrode capable of intercalating and deintercalating lithium ions;

a negative electrode comprising a negative-electrode active material which comprises at least one of

(x) at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Si, Sn and Pb,

(y) an alloy of at least two members selected from the group consisting of Si, Sn, Pb, and

(z) an oxide of Si, an oxide of Sn, an oxide of Pb, a carbide of Si, a carbide of Sn, a carbide of Pb, a nitride of Si, a carbide of Sn and a carbide of Pb; and

a non-aqueous liquid electrolyte comprising (1) at least one carbonate containing an unsaturated bond and (2) at least one kind of sulfur-containing chain compound represented by formula (C-3):

wherein

R c3 represents a hydrocarbon group, which may optionally have a halogen atom, having 1 to 20 carbons atoms,

A c represents a sulfur-containing functional group represented by formula (C-4), (C-5), (C-6), (C-8) or (C-10):

z represents 2, 3 or 4, and

R c4 represents a hydrocarbon group, which may optionally have a halogen atom, with z number of connection parts and having 1 to 20 carbon atoms,

wherein, the z number of R c3 and A c may be the same or different,

wherein

in the non-aqueous liquid electrolyte, the concentration of the compound represented by formula (C-3) is 0.01 weight % to 10 weight %,

in the non-aqueous liquid electrolyte, the concentration of the carbonate containing an unsaturated bond is 0.01 weight % to 50 weight %, and

the carbonate containing an unsaturated bond is at least one member selected from the group consisting of vinylene carbonate and vinylethylene carbonate.

2. The non-aqueous liquid electrolyte secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the non-aqueous liquid electrolyte further comprises ethylene carbonate and/or propylene carbonate.

3. The non-aqueous liquid electrolyte secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the non-aqueous liquid electrolyte further comprises at least one carbonate selected from the group consisting of dimethyl carbonate, ethylmethyl carbonate, diethyl carbonate, methyl-n-propyl carbonate, ethyl-n-propyl carbonate and di-n-propyl carbonate.

4. The non-aqueous liquid electrolyte secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the negative electrode comprises graphite, carbon black or a combination thereof.

5. The non-aqueous liquid electrolyte secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by formula (C-3) contains a functional group represented by formula (C-4).

6. The non-aqueous liquid electrolyte secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by formula (C-3) contains a functional group represented by formula (C-5).

7. The non-aqueous liquid electrolyte secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by formula (C-3) contains a functional group represented by formula (C-6).

8. The non-aqueous liquid electrolyte secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by formula (C-3) contains a functional group represented by formula (C-8).

9. The non-aqueous liquid electrolyte secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by formula (C-3) contains a functional group represented by formula (C-10).
