Abstract

Provided are: a non-aqueous electrolyte solution that can improve the charged storage characteristics of a non-aqueous electrolyte battery under a high-temperature environment while containing FSO 3 Li; and a non-aqueous electrolyte battery having excellent charged storage characteristics under a high-temperature environment. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution contains FSO 3 Li and a specific amount of ions of a specific metal element.

Claims (25)

1. A non-aqueous electrolyte solution, comprising:

FSO 3 Li; and

at least one metal ion selected from the group consisting of 1-500 ppm by mass of nickel ions, 1-100 ppm by mass of manganese ions, and 1-100 ppm by mass of aluminum ions.

2. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one metal ion includes the nickel ions.

3. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 2 , wherein the at least one metal ion includes the nickel ions in an amount of 40% by mass or more with respect to a total amount of the at least one metal ion.

4. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 3 , wherein a total concentration of the at least one metal ion is in a range of 1 ppm by mass to 120 ppm by mass.

5. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the content of FSO 3 Li is in a range of 0.001% by mass to 10.0% by mass.

6. A non-aqueous electrolyte battery, comprising:

a positive electrode and a negative electrode which are capable of occluding and releasing metal ions; and

a non-aqueous electrolyte solution,

wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte solution comprises FSO 3 Li and at least one metal ion selected from the group consisting of 1-500 ppm by mass of nickel ions, 1-100 ppm by mass of manganese ions, and 1-100 ppm by mass of aluminum ions.

7. The non-aqueous electrolyte battery according to claim 6 , wherein:

the positive electrode comprises a current collector and a positive electrode active material layer arranged on the current collector; and

the positive electrode active material is a metal oxide of composition formula (1), Li a1 Ni b1 CO c1 Ma 1 O 2 (1), where 0.90≤a1≤1.10, 0<b1<0.4, b1+c1+d1=1, and M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Mn, Al, Mg, Zr, Fe, Ti, and Er.

8. The non-aqueous electrolyte battery according to claim 6 , wherein:

the positive electrode comprises a current collector and a positive electrode active material layer arranged on the current collector, and

the positive electrode active material is a metal oxide of composition formula (2), Li a2 Ni b2 Co c2 Ma 2 O 2 (2), where 0.90≤a2≤1.10, 0.4≤b2<1.0, b2+c2+d2=1, and M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Mn, Al, Mg, Zr, Fe, Ti, and Er.

9. The non-aqueous electrolyte battery according to claim 6 , wherein:

the positive electrode is an NMC positive electrode, and

the NMC positive electrode comprises a nickel element in an amount of not less than 40% by mole.

10. A non-aqueous electrolyte solution, comprising:

FSO 3 Li; and

at least one metal ion selected from the group consisting of 1-100 ppm by mass of manganese ions and 1-100 ppm by mass of aluminum ions.

11. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one metal ion includes at least the manganese ions.

12. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one metal ion includes at least the aluminum ions.
