Abstract

There is provided an electrolyte solution including a solvent formed from a sulfone, and a magnesium salt dissolved in the solvent.

Claims (41)

1. A battery pack, comprising:

a secondary battery that comprises an electrolyte solution,

wherein the electrolyte solution is one of:

a first solution that includes a first solvent of a first sulfone, and a first magnesium salt dissolved in the first solvent, wherein a molar ratio of the first sulfone based on the first magnesium salt in the first solution is 4 or more to 35 or less, or

a second solution that includes a second solvent of a second sulfone and a non-polar solvent, and a second magnesium salt dissolved in the second solvent, wherein a molar ratio of the second sulfone based on the second magnesium salt in the second solution is 4 or more to 20 or less.

2. The battery pack according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a control unit configured to control the secondary battery; and

a casing configured to enclose the secondary battery.

3. The battery pack according to claim 2 , wherein the control unit is further configured to control charging/discharging, over discharging, and/or over charging of the secondary battery.

4. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the first magnesium salt includes a magnesium complex that has a four-coordinate dimer structure in which the first sulfone is coordinated to a magnesium.

5. The battery pack according to claim 1 , wherein the second magnesium salt includes a magnesium complex that has a four-coordinate dimer structure in which the second sulfone is coordinated to a magnesium.

6. An electronic device, comprising:

a secondary battery that comprises an electrolyte solution, wherein the electronic device is configured to receive power from the secondary battery, and

wherein the electrolyte solution is one of:

a first solution that includes a first solvent of a first sulfone, and a first magnesium salt dissolved in the first solvent, wherein a molar ratio of the first sulfone based on the first magnesium salt in the first solution is 4 or more to 35 or less, or

a second solution that includes a second solvent of a second sulfone and a non-polar solvent, and a second magnesium salt dissolved in the second solvent, wherein a molar ratio of the second sulfone based on the second magnesium salt in the second solution is 4 or more to 20 or less.

7. An electric vehicle, comprising:

a secondary battery that comprises an electrolyte solution;

a conversion apparatus configured to:

receive power from the secondary battery; and

convert the received power into a vehicle drive force; and

a control apparatus configured to control the electric vehicle based on information of the secondary battery,

wherein the electrolyte solution is

a first solution that includes a first solvent of a first sulfone, and a first magnesium salt dissolved in the first solvent, wherein a molar ratio of the first sulfone based on the first magnesium salt in the first solution is 4 or more to 35 or less, or

a second solution that includes a second solvent of a second sulfone and a non-polar solvent, and a second magnesium salt dissolved in the second solvent, wherein a molar ratio of the second sulfone based on the second magnesium salt in the second solution is 4 or more to 20 or less.

8. The electric vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein the conversion apparatus is further configured to rotate a motor, to generate the vehicle drive force, based on the power received from the secondary battery.

9. The electric vehicle according to claim 8 , wherein the motor is configured to utilize regenerative energy.

10. The electric vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein the control apparatus is further configured to control the electric vehicle based on a battery level that remains in the secondary battery.

11. The electric vehicle according to claim 7 , wherein the electric vehicle is one of an electric automobile, an electric motorbike, an electric bicycle, a railroad wagon or a hybrid automobile.

12. A power system, comprising:

a secondary battery that comprises an electrolyte solution, wherein the power system is configured to one of receive power from a secondary battery or supply power to the secondary battery,

wherein the electrolyte solution is one of:

a first solution that includes a first solvent of a first sulfone, and a first magnesium salt dissolved in the first solvent, wherein a molar ratio of the first sulfone based on the first magnesium salt in the first solution is 4 or more to 35 or less, or

a second solution that includes a second solvent of a second sulfone and a non-polar solvent, and a second magnesium salt dissolved in the second solvent, wherein a molar ratio of the second sulfone based on the second magnesium salt in the second solution is 4 or more to 20 or less.

13. The power system according to claim 12 , wherein the power system is one of a smart grid or a household energy management system (HEMS).

14. A power storage power source, comprising:

a secondary battery that comprises an electrolyte solution,

wherein the power storage power source is configured to supply power to an electronic device, and

wherein the electrolyte solution is one of:

a first solution that includes a first solvent of a first sulfone, and a first magnesium salt dissolved in the first solvent, wherein a molar ratio of the first sulfone based on the first magnesium salt in the first solution is 4 or more to 35 or less, or

a second solution that includes a second solvent of a second sulfone and a non-polar solvent, and a second magnesium salt dissolved in the second solvent, wherein a molar ratio of the second sulfone based on the second magnesium salt in the second solution is 4 or more to 20 or less.
