Abstract

This prismatic non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is provided with a negative electrode and a nonaqueous electrolyte. The negative electrode is provided with a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode mixture layer formed on the negative electrode current collector. The negative electrode mixture layer comprises a first layer containing a first carbon active material, a Si active material and a polyacrylic acid or a salt thereof, and a second layer containing a second carbon active material. The nonaqueous solvent configuring the nonaqueous electrolyte contains a cyclic carbonate. The total content of the cyclic carbonate is 20-30 vol % of the total volume of the nonaqueous solvent, and the content of the ethylene carbonate belonging to the cyclic carbonate is less than or equal to 10 vol % of the total volume of the nonaqueous solvent. The nonaqueous electrolyte contains vinylene carbonate.

Claims (22)

1. A rectangular-shaped non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, comprising:

a positive electrode;

a negative electrode; and

a non-aqueous electrolyte having an electrolyte salt and a non-aqueous solvent,

wherein the negative electrode comprises:

a negative electrode current collector; and

a negative electrode mixture layer formed on the negative electrode current collector,

the negative electrode mixture layer has:

a first layer formed on the negative electrode current collector, the first layer including a first carbon-based active material, a Si-based active material, and polyacrylic acid or a salt thereof; and

a second layer formed on the first layer, the second layer including a second carbon-based active material,

the first carbon-based active material has a tap density of 0.86 g/cm 3 to 0.89 g/cm 3 and a BET specific surface area of 3.9 m 2 /g to 6.8 m 2 /g,

the second carbon-based active material has a tap density of 1.03 g/cm 3 to 1.08 g/m 3 and a BET specific surface area of 2.8 m 2 /g to 3.1 m 2 /g,

the mass of the first layer is 50% by mass or more and less than 90% by mass based on the mass of the negative electrode mixture layer, the mass of the second layer is more than 10% by mass and 50% by mass or less based on the mass of the negative electrode mixture layer,

the non-aqueous solvent includes a cyclic carbonate,

the total content of the cyclic carbonate is 20% by volume or more and 30% by volume or less based on the total volume of the non-aqueous solvent,

the content of fluoroethylene carbonate belonging to the cyclic carbonate is more than 0% by volume and 20% by volume or less based on the total volume of the non-aqueous solvent,

the content of ethylene carbonate belonging to the cyclic carbonate is 10% by volume or less based on the total volume of the non-aqueous solvent,

the non-aqueous electrolyte includes vinylene carbonate, and

the content of the vinylene carbonate in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 0.2% by mass or more and 5% by mass or less.

2. The rectangular-shaped non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the content of fluoroethylene carbonate belonging to the cyclic carbonate is 10% by volume or more and 20% by volume or less based on the total volume of the non-aqueous solvent.

3. The rectangular-shaped non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the content of propylene carbonate belonging to the cyclic carbonate is 10% by volume or less based on the total volume of the non-aqueous solvent.

4. The rectangular-shaped non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte does not contain ethylene carbonate.
