Abstract

The present invention provides a method for producing a lithium-ion secondary battery with excellent high-temperature storage characteristics. The method for producing the lithium-ion secondary battery provided by the present invention includes a step of assembling a lithium-ion secondary battery using positive and negative electrodes, and a nonaqueous electrolyte containing in an organic solvent a lithium salt as a supporting salt, at least one type of substance selected from carboxylic acid anhydrides and dicarboxylic acids as additive A, and at least one type of substance selected from vinylene carbonate, vinylethylene carbonate, ethylene sulfite, and fluoroethylene carbonate as additive B; a step of carrying out initial charging of the assembled battery to a predetermined voltage; and a step of carrying out an aging treatment by keeping the battery at a temperature of 35° C. or higher for 6 hours or longer.

Claims (13)

1. A method for producing a lithium-ion secondary battery having positive and negative electrodes capable of absorbing and desorbing lithium ions, and a nonaqueous electrolyte containing a lithium salt in an organic solvent,

the production method comprising:

assembling a lithium-ion secondary battery using a nonaqueous electrolyte containing in the organic solvent the following components:

a lithium salt as a supporting salt;

maleic anhydride as additive A; and

vinylene carbonate as additive B; and

the positive and negative electrodes, the positive electrode comprising an oxide having a spinel structure that is capable of absorbing and desorbing lithium ions as a positive electrode active material;

performing an initial charge to the assembled battery up to a predetermined voltage; and

performing an aging treatment to the battery by keeping at a temperature of 40 to 80° C. for 40 to 50 hours.

2. A lithium-ion secondary battery manufactured by the method according to claim 1 .

3. A vehicle comprising the lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 2 .

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the initial charge is performed within a range between 2.5 V to 4.2 V.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the nonaqueous electrolyte consists of the lithium salt, maleic anhydride, vinylene carbonate and the organic solvent.
