Abstract

Provided is a nonaqueous electrolyte solution battery with dramatically improved battery characteristics. A nonaqueous electrolyte solution battery prepared by using a nonaqueous electrolyte solution comprising (I) an aromatic carboxylic acid ester compound represented by General Formula (1) below; and (II) specific compounds, is improved in charge-discharge characteristics at high current densities, durability performance during high-temperature storage and overcharge characteristics. (in General Formula (1), A 1 is —R 1 or —OR 1 , with R 1 being an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group with 10 or fewer carbon atoms; A 2 is an optionally substituted aryl group; each of j and k is independently 0 or an integer greater than 0, and at least one of j and k is an integer not less than 1; and when k≥1, A 1 is —OR 1 , while when k=0, A 1 is —R 1 ; and the case of j=1, k=0 is not allowed).

Claims (15)

1. A nonaqueous electrolyte solution comprising an electrolyte; and a nonaqueous solvent,

the nonaqueous electrolyte solution further comprising component (I) and (II):

(I) an aromatic carboxylic acid ester compound represented by Formula (1) below, wherein the total content of the component (I) in the nonaqueous electrolyte solution ranges from 0.5 mass % to 5 mass %; and

(II) a fluorinated ethylene carbonate wherein total content of the component (II) in the nonaqueous electrolyte solution ranges from 0.1 mass % to 20 mass %:

wherein A 1 is —R 1 or —OR 1 , with R 1 being an optionally substituted hydrocarbon group with 10 or fewer carbon atoms; A 2 is an optionally substituted aryl group; each of j and k is independently 0 or an integer greater than 0, and at least one of j and k is an integer not less than 1; and when k≥1, A 1 is —OR 1 , while when k=0, A 1 is —R 1 ; and the case of j=1, k=0 is not allowed.

2. The nonaqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein said nonaqueous electrolyte solution further comprises:

(i) a compound having a SO 2 group which is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of chain sulfonic acid esters, cyclic sulfonic acid esters, chain sulfuric acid esters, cyclic sulfuric acid esters, chain sulfurous acid esters and cyclic sulfurous acid esters; and/or

a Si-containing compound is a compound represented by Formula (3)

wherein

R 5 , R 6 and R 7 independently represent a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom or a hydrocarbon group with 10 or fewer carbon atoms, and

X 3 is an organic group containing at least one atom selected from the group consisting of oxygen, nitrogen and silicon.

3. The nonaqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of j and k is an integer not less than 2 in Formula (1).

4. The nonaqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , further comprising a cyclic carbonate having a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond.

5. A nonaqueous electrolyte solution battery comprising negative and positive electrodes capable of storing and releasing lithium ions; and a nonaqueous electrolyte solution, wherein the nonaqueous electrolyte solution is the nonaqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 .

6. The nonaqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one kind of compound selected from the group consisting of a fluorosulfonate salt, a compound having SO 2 group, and a Si-containing compound.
