Abstract

Disclosed is a nonaqueous electrolytic solution which enables formation of a nonaqueous-electrolyte battery having high capacity and excellent storage characteristics at high temperatures, while sufficiently enhancing safety at the time of overcharge. A nonaqueous-electrolyte battery produced by using the nonaqueous electrolytic solution is also disclosed. The nonaqueous electrolytic solution comprises an electrolyte and a nonaqueous solvent, and includes any of specific nonaqueous electrolytic solutions (A) to (D).

Claims (44)

1. A nonaqueous electrolytic solution, comprising:

an electrolyte;

a nonaqueous solvent;

tris(4-t-butylphenyl) phosphate;

vinylene carbonate, and

at least one compound selected from the group consisting of

a cyclic carbonate comprising a fluorine atom,

a monofluorophosphoric acid salt, and

a difluorophosphoric acid salt, wherein

the proportion of the tris(4-t-butylphenyl) phosphate is 0.001% by weight or higher but less than 10% by weight of the nonagueous electrolytic solution, and the proportion of the vinylene carbonate is 0.001% by weight or higher but 8% by weight or lower, of the nonaqueous electrolytic solution.

2. A nonaqueous-electrolyte battery, comprising:

a negative electrode and a positive electrode which occlude and release a lithium ion; and

the nonaqueous electrolytic solution of claim 1 .

3. A nonaqueous electrolytic solution, comprising:

an electrolyte;

a nonaqueous solvent;

a phosphoric acid ester, comprising a phenyl group substituted by at least one alkyl group having 5 or more carbon atoms that is optionally substituted, and

at least one compound selected from the group consisting of

a cyclic carbonate comprising an unsaturated C═C bond,

a cyclic carbonate comprising a fluorine atom,

a monofluorophosphoric acid salt, and

a difluorophosphoric acid salt.

4. The solution of claim 3 , wherein the nonaqueous solvent comprises at least 70% by volume of ethylene carbonate and γ-butyrolactone, in an ethylene carbonate/γ-butyrolactone volume ratio of from 5:95 to 45:55.

5. The solution of claim 4 , wherein the nonaqueous solvent comprises at least 80% by volume of ethylene carbonate and γ-butyrolactone.

6. The solution of claim 4 , wherein the nonaqueous solvent comprises at least 90% by volume of ethylene carbonate and γ-butyrolactone.

7. The solution of claim 3 , wherein the nonaqueous solvent comprises at least 70% by volume of ethylene carbonate and propylene carbonate, in an ethylene carbonate/propylene carbonate volume ratio of from 30:70 to 60:40.

8. The solution of claim 7 , wherein the nonaqueous solvent comprises at least 80% by volume of ethylene carbonate and propylene carbonate.

9. The solution of claim 7 , wherein the nonaqueous solvent comprises at least 90% by volume of ethylene carbonate and propylene carbonate.

10. The solution of claim 1 , wherein the proportion of the vinylene carbonate 0.5% by weight or higher but 2% by weight or lower, of the nonaqueous electrolytic solution.

11. A nonaqueous electrolytic solution, comprising:

an electrolyte;

a nonaqueous solvent;

a phosphoric acid ester, comprising a phenyl group substituted by at least one alkyl group having 5 or more carbon atoms that is optionally substituted,

at least one compound selected from the group consisting of

a cyclic carbonate comprising an unsaturated C═C bond,

a cyclic carbonate comprising a fluorine atom,

a monofluorophosphoric acid salt, and

a difluorophosphoric acid salt,

wherein the total proportion of the phosphoric acid ester is 0.001% by weight or higher but less than 10% by weight of the nonaqueous electrolytic solution.

12. The solution of claim 11 , wherein the total proportion of the phosphoric acid ester is 0.001% by weight or higher but 5% by weight or lower of the nonaqueous electrolytic solution.

13. The solution of claim 11 , wherein total proportion of the phosphoric acid ester is 0.1% by weight or higher but 3% by weight or lower of the nonaqueous electrolytic solution.

14. The solution of claim 11 , wherein total proportion of the phosphoric acid ester is 0.1% by weight or higher but 2% by weight or lower of the nonaqueous electrolytic solution.
