Abstract

Provided is a non-aqueous electrolyte solution that enables the fabrication of a non-aqueous secondary battery with which gas generation during battery use in high-temperature environments or with continuous charging is suppressed. Also provided is a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery that uses this non-aqueous electrolyte solution. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution is used in a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery that has a positive electrode having a positive electrode active material capable of absorbing and releasing a metal ion, and a negative electrode having a negative electrode active material capable of absorbing and releasing a metal ion, the non-aqueous electrolyte solution containing a compound represented by formula (1) and a nitrile compound in prescribed contents.

Claims (14)

1. A non-aqueous electrolyte solution used in a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery that has a positive electrode having a positive electrode active material capable of absorbing and releasing a metal ion, and a negative electrode having a negative electrode active material capable of absorbing and releasing a metal ion, the non-aqueous electrolyte solution comprising:

a compound represented by formula (1) in a content of at least 0.01 mass % and not more than 10 mass % with reference to the overall non-aqueous electrolyte solution; and

a nitrile compound in a content of at least 0.01 mass % and not more than 5 mass % with reference to the overall non-aqueous electrolyte solution,

wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently selected from a hydrogen atom, alkyl groups having 1 to 10 carbons, alkenyl groups having 2 to 10 carbons, alkynyl groups having 2 to 10 carbons, and aryl groups having 6 to 10 carbons, and n represents an integer that is at least 5 and not more than 10.

2. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by formula (1) is a compound in which n is 5 or 6.

3. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by formula (1) is a compound in which n is 5.

4. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the nitrile compound is a compound that has two or more cyano groups.

5. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one compound selected from fluorinated cyclic carbonates and cyclic sulfate esters.

6. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the R 2 is selected from alkyl groups having 1 to 10 carbons, alkenyl groups having 2 to 10 carbons, alkynyl groups having 2 to 10 carbons, and aryl groups having 6 to 10 carbons.

7. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , further comprising cyclic sulfate esters in a content of at least 0.01 mass % and not more than 5 mass % with reference to the overall non-aqueous electrolyte solution.

8. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by formula (1) contains the plural number of R 1 and R 2 , which differ each other.

9. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising:

a positive electrode having a positive electrode active material capable of absorbing and releasing a metal ion; a negative electrode having a negative electrode active material capable of absorbing and releasing a metal ion; and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution, wherein

the non-aqueous electrolyte solution is the non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 .
