Abstract

A nonaqueous electrolytic solution that can provide a high energy density nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery having a high capacity, excellent storage characteristics, and excellent cycle characteristics and suppressing the decomposition of an electrolytic solution and the deterioration thereof when used in a high-temperature environment includes an electrolyte, a nonaqueous solvent, and a compound represented by general formula (1): wherein R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a cyano group, or an optionally halogen atom-substituted hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, with the proviso that R 1 and R 2 do not simultaneously represent hydrogen atoms.

Claims (29)

1. A nonaqueous electrolytic solution, comprising:

an electrolyte,

a nonaqueous solvent,

at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a halogen atom-containing cyclic carbonate in a content of from 0.001 to 70% by weight; a cyclic carbonate having a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond in a content of from 0.01 to 5% by weight; and a monofluorophosphate, difluorophosphate, or combination thereof in a content of from 0.001 to 5% by weight, and

a compound of formula (2):

wherein R 4 , R 5 , and R 6 are each independently a hydrogen atom, a cyano group, a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, or a halogen atom-substituted hydrocarbon group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, with the proviso that R 4 and R 5 are not both hydrogen atoms, and

wherein the compound of formula (2) comprises at least one nitrile compound selected from the group consisting of crotononitrile, 3-methylcrotononitrile, 3-fluorocrotononitrile, 4-fluorocrotononitrile, 4,4-difluorocrotononitrile, 4,4,4-trifluorocrotononitrile, and 3-(fluoromethyl)crotononitrile.

2. The nonaqueous electrolytic solution of claim 1 , wherein a content of the compound of formula (2) in the nonaqueous electrolytic solution is from 0.001 to 10% by weight.

3. The nonaqueous electrolytic solution of claim 1 , comprising at least one halogen atom-containing cyclic carbonate selected from the group consisting of fluoroethylene carbonate, difluoroethylene carbonate, fluoropropylene carbonate, trifluoromethylethylene carbonate, and fluorotrifluoromethylethylene carbonate.

4. The nonaqueous electrolytic solution of claim 1 , comprising at least one cyclic carbonate having a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond selected from the group consisting of vinylene carbonate, 4-methylvinylene carbonate, 4,5-dimethylvinylene carbonate, 4-vinylethylene carbonate, and 5-methyl-4-vinylethylene carbonate.

5. The nonaqueous electrolytic solution of claim 4 , wherein the at least one cyclic carbonate having a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond comprises vinylene carbonate.

6. The nonaqueous electrolytic solution of claim 5 ,

wherein the nonaqueous electrolytic solution is suitable for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery.

7. The nonaqueous electrolytic solution according to claim 1 , wherein the compound of formula (2) comprises crotononitrile.

8. The nonaqueous electrolytic solution of claim 7 ,

wherein the nonaqueous electrolytic solution is suitable for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery.

9. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, comprising:

a positive electrode comprising a positive-electrode active material capable of storing and releasing metal ions,

the nonaqueous electrolytic solution of claim 1 .

10. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, comprising:

a negative electrode,

a positive electrode, and

the nonaqueous electrolytic solution of claim 1 ,

wherein the negative electrode and the positive electrode are each capable of storing and releasing metal ions.

11. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery of claim 10 , wherein the negative electrode comprises a carbonaceous material serving as an active material.

12. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery of claim 11 , wherein the nonaqueous electrolytic solution comprises at least one cyclic carbonate having a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond selected from the group consisting of vinylene carbonate, 4-methylvinylene carbonate, 4,5-dimethylvinylene carbonate, 4-vinylethylene carbonate, and 5-methyl-4-vinylethylene carbonate.
