Abstract

There are provided a nonaqueous-type electrolyte solution having high flame retardancy and a good capacity retention rate, and a device comprising the nonaqueous-type electrolyte solution. The nonaqueous-type electrolyte solution is used in a device comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode and the nonaqueous-type electrolyte solution, and contains a lithium salt and a compound having a phosphazene structure, and further contains 0.05% by mass or more and 12.0% by mass or less of at least one disulfonate ester selected from a cyclic disulfonate ester and a chain disulfonate ester based on the total of the nonaqueous-type electrolyte solution.

Claims (11)

1. A nonaqueous-type electrolyte solution used in a device comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode and the nonaqueous-type electrolyte solution,

the nonaqueous-type electrolyte solution comprising a lithium salt and a compound having a phosphazene structure represented by the following formula (1), and

further comprising 0.05% by mass or more and 12.0% by mass or less of at least one disulfonate ester selected from a cyclic disulfonate ester represented by the following formula (2) and a chain disulfonate ester represented by the following formula (3) based on the total of the nonaqueous-type electrolyte solution:

wherein in the formula (1), X 1 and X 2 each independently denote a halogen element or a monovalent substituent; the monovalent substituent denotes an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group, an acyl group, an aryloxy group, an amino group, an alkylthio group, an arylthio group, a halogenated alkyl group, a halogenated alkoxy group, a halogenated aryl group, a halogenated acyl group, a halogenated aryloxy group, a halogenated amino group, a halogenated alkylthio group, or a halogenated arylthio group; n denotes an integer of 3 or more and 5 or less; and the formula (1) may be cyclic;

wherein in the formula (2), Q denotes an oxygen atom, a methylene group or a single bond; A 1 denotes a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms which may be branched, a carbonyl group, a sulfinyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted perfluoroalkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms which may be branched, a substituted or unsubstituted fluoroalkylene group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms which may be branched, a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms which contains an ether bond and may be branched, a substituted or unsubstituted perfluoroalkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms which contains an ether bond and may be branched, or a substituted or unsubstituted fluoroalkylene group having 2 to 6 carbon atoms which contains an ether bond and may be branched; and A 2 denotes a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group which may be branched, a fluoromethylene group or an oxygen atom;

wherein in the formula (3), R 1 and R 4 each independently denote an atom or a group selected from a hydrogen atom, a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted fluoroalkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a polyfluoroalkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, —SO 2 X 11 (wherein X 11 is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms), —SY 11 (wherein Y 11 is a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms), —COZ (wherein Z is a hydrogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms) and a halogen atom; and R 2 and R 3 each independently denote an atom or a group selected from a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted alkoxy group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted phenoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted fluoroalkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a polyfluoroalkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a substituted or unsubstituted fluoroalkoxy group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a polyfluoroalkoxy group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, a hydroxyl group, a halogen atom, —NX 12 X 13 (wherein X 12 and X 13 are each independently a hydrogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms) and —NY 12 CONY 13 Y 14 (wherein Y 12 to Y 14 are each independently a hydrogen atom or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms),

wherein part of the disulfonate ester contained in the nonaqueous-type electrolyte solution is substituted with a sultone compound represented by the following formula (4):

wherein in the formula (4), R 8 to R 13 each independently denote an atom or a group selected from a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 or more and 12 or fewer carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having 3 or more and 6 or fewer carbon atoms, and an aryl group having 6 or more and 12 or fewer carbon atoms; and m denotes an integer of 0 or more and 2 or less.

2. The nonaqueous-type electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , comprising 3.0% by mass or more and 20.0% by mass or less of the compound having a phosphazene structure based on the total of the nonaqueous-type electrolyte solution.

3. The nonaqueous-type electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the nonaqueous-type electrolyte solution is gelated with a polymer.

4. A device, being a lithium ion secondary battery or a capacitor, the device comprising a nonaqueous-type electrolyte solution according to claim 1 .
