Abstract

Disclosed is a battery including: a positive electrode; a negative electrode; and an electrolyte including a fluidic electrolyte in which an electrolytic solution containing a solvent and an electrolyte salt is present while maintaining fluidity, and a non-fluidic electrolyte in which an electrolytic solution containing a solvent and an electrolyte salt is supported by a polymeric material.

Claims (61)

1. A battery comprising:

a positive electrode;

a negative electrode; and

an electrolyte including a fluidic electrolyte in which an electrolytic solution containing a solvent and an electrolyte salt is present while maintaining fluidity, and a non-fluidic electrolyte in which the electrolytic solution containing the solvent and the electrolyte salt is supported by a polymeric material, a content of the electrolytic solution in the non-fluidic electrolyte being 90 to 99 mass% with respect to the non-fluidic electrolyte.

2. The battery according to claim 1 ,

wherein the non-fluidic electrolyte is present between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and

the fluidic electrolyte is present at least in a void inside active material layers of the positive electrode and the negative electrode.

3. The battery according to claim 2 ,

wherein the fluidic electrolyte is present between the positive electrode and the negative electrode.

4. The battery according to claim 1 ,

wherein a porous separator is interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and

the non-fluidic electrolyte is present between at least one of the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and the separator.

5. The battery according to claim 1 ,

wherein the electrolyte salt contains an imide salt compound expressed by Chem. 1,

M + [(ZY) 2 N] −   (Chem. 1)

(here, M + represents a monovalent cation, Y represents SO 2 or CO, and Z represents a fluorine atom).

6. The battery according to claim 1 ,

wherein a volume ratio of the non-fluidic electrolyte with respect to the electrolyte is greater than 0 up to 6 vol %.

7. A battery comprising:

a positive electrode;

a negative electrode; and

an electrolyte including a fluidic electrolyte in which an electrolytic solution containing a solvent and an electrolyte salt is present while maintaining fluidity, and a non-fluidic electrolyte in which the electrolytic solution containing the solvent and the electrolyte salt is supported by a polymeric material,

wherein a weight-average molecular weight of the polymeric material is 500,000 or more.

8. The battery according to claim 7 ,

wherein the polymeric material is at least one of polyvinylidene fluoride and polyacrylonitrile.

9. The battery according to claim 2 ,

wherein the positive electrode active material is a lithium composite phosphate having an olivine type structure expressed by Chem. I,

Li a M1 b PO 4   (Chem. I)

(here, M1 represents at least one kind of element selected from elements of group II to group XV, and a and b represent values within ranges of 0≦a≦2.0 and 0.5≦b≦2.0).

10. The battery according to claim 9 ,

wherein the lithium composite phosphate having the olivine type structure expressed by Chem. I contains iron as M1.

11. A battery pack comprising:

the battery according to claim 1 ;

a control unit that controls the battery; and

an exterior package in which the battery is accommodated.

12. The battery according to claim 7 ,

wherein the non-fluidic electrolyte is present between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and

the fluidic electrolyte is present at least in a void inside active material layers of the positive electrode and the negative electrode.

13. The battery according to claim 12 ,

wherein the fluidic electrolyte is present between the positive electrode and the negative electrode.

14. The battery according to claim 12 ,

wherein the positive electrode active material is a lithium composite phosphate having an olivine type structure expressed by Chem. I,

Li a M1 b PO 4   (Chem. I)

(here, M1 represents at least one kind of element selected from elements of group II to group XV, and a and b represent values within ranges of 0≦a≦2.0 and 0.5≦b≦2.0).

15. The battery according to claim 14 ,

wherein the lithium composite phosphate having the olivine type structure expressed by Chem. I contains iron as M1.

16. The battery according to claim 7 ,

wherein a porous separator is interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and

the non-fluidic electrolyte is present between at least one of the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and the separator.

17. The battery according to claim 7 ,

wherein the electrolyte salt contains an imide salt compound expressed by Chem. 1,

M + [(ZY) 2 N] −   (Chem. 1)

(here, M + represents a monovalent cation, Y represents SO 2 or CO, and Z represents a fluorine atom).

18. The battery according to claim 7 ,

wherein a volume ratio of the non-fluidic electrolyte with respect to the electrolyte is greater than 0 up to 6 vol %.

19. A battery pack comprising:

the battery according to claim 7 ;

a control unit that controls the battery; and

an exterior package in which the battery is accommodated.

20. The battery according to claim 1 ,

wherein the polymeric material is at least one of polyvinylidene fluoride and polyacrylonitrile.
