Abstract

A nonaqueous electrolyte solution includes a lithium salt and a nonaqueous solvent that dissolves the lithium salt. The nonaqueous electrolyte solution contains from at least 0.01 ppm to not more than 100 ppm of a compound represented by the following general formula (1): R 1 —CR 2 OR 3 —CR 2 2 OR 3   (1) (in formula (1), R 1 and R 3 represent an organic group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms and optionally having a substituent; R 2 represents hydrogen or an organic group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms and optionally having a substituent; and R 1 to R 3 may each represent the same group or may each represent different groups).

Claims (12)

1. A nonaqueous electrolyte solution comprising a lithium salt and a nonaqueous solvent that dissolves the lithium salt, wherein the nonaqueous electrolyte solution contains from at least 0.01 ppm to not more than 30 ppm by mass of a compound represented by the following general formula (1):

R 1 —CR 2 OR 3 —CR 2 2 OR 3   (1)

in formula (1), R 1 and R 3 represent an organic group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms and optionally having a substituent; R 2 represents hydrogen or an organic group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms and optionally having a substituent; and R 1 to R 3 may each represent the same group or may each represent different groups.

2. The nonaqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the nonaqueous electrolyte solution contains the compound represented by general formula (1) at from at least 0.01 ppm to not more than 25 ppm by mass.

3. A nonaqueous electrolyte solution comprising a lithium salt and a nonaqueous solvent that dissolves the lithium salt, wherein the nonaqueous solvent contains from at least 0.01 ppm to not more than 30 ppm by mass of a compound represented by the following general formula (1)

R 1 —CR 2 OR 3 —CR 2 2 OR 3   (1)

in formula (1), R 1 and R 3 represent an organic group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms and optionally having a substituent; R 2 represents hydrogen or an organic group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms and optionally having a substituent; and R 1 to R 3 may each represent the same group or may each represent different groups.

4. The nonaqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the nonaqueous solvent comprises at least dimethyl carbonate or ethyl methyl carbonate.

5. The nonaqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by general formula (1) is 1,2-dimethoxypropane or 1,2-dimethoxybutane.

6. A nonaqueous electrolyte battery comprising a nonaqueous electrolyte and a negative electrode and a positive electrode that are capable of the insertion and extraction of the lithium ion, wherein the nonaqueous electrolyte solution is the nonaqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 .

7. The nonaqueous electrolyte battery according to claim 6 , wherein the negative electrode contains a carbon material as a negative electrode active material.

8. A dimethyl carbonate nonaqueous solvent that contains from at least 0.01 ppm by mass to not more than 40 ppm by mass of 1,2-dimethoxypropane.
