Abstract

An aspect of the present invention is a nonaqueous electrolyte energy storage device including: a positive electrode including a positive active material layer of 5 mAh/cm 2 or more in capacity density per unit area; a negative electrode including metallic lithium; and a nonaqueous electrolyte including an ionic liquid and a fluorinated ether.

Claims (21)

1 . A nonaqueous electrolyte energy storage device comprising:

a positive electrode including a positive active material layer of 5 mAh/cm 2 or more in capacity density per unit area;

a negative electrode including metallic lithium; and

a nonaqueous electrolyte including an ionic liquid and a fluorinated ether,

wherein the ionic liquid mainly contains an ionic liquid including no ether group.

2 . The nonaqueous electrolyte energy storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the positive electrode contains a lithium-transition metal composite oxide that has an α-NaFeO 2 -type crystal structure or a spinel-type crystal structure, or a polyanion compound containing nickel, cobalt, or manganese.

3 . The nonaqueous electrolyte energy storage device according to claim 1 , wherein a positive electrode potential at an end-of-charge voltage under normal usage is 3.5 V (vs. Li/Li + ) or more.

4 . The nonaqueous electrolyte energy storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the nonaqueous electrolyte further contains a lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide.

5 . The nonaqueous electrolyte energy storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the nonaqueous electrolyte further contains a lithium salt, and a content of the lithium salt in the nonaqueous electrolyte is 1.5 mol/dm 3 or more.

6 . The nonaqueous electrolyte energy storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the number of fluorine atoms in the fluorinated ether is two or more and six or less.

7 . The nonaqueous electrolyte energy storage device according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of the number of fluorine atoms to a total of the number of hydrogen atoms and the number of fluorine atoms in the fluorinated ether is 10% or more and 50% or less.

8 . The nonaqueous electrolyte energy storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the fluorinated ether is represented by the following formula (1):

R 1 —O—R 2   (1)

wherein in the formula (1), R 1 is a fluorinated hydrocarbon group, and R 2 is a hydrocarbon group.

9 . The nonaqueous electrolyte energy storage device according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the fluorinated ether in all nonaqueous solvents included in the nonaqueous electrolyte is 90% by volume or more.

10 . The nonaqueous electrolyte energy storage device according to claim 1 , comprising a separator of 10 μm or more and 40 μm or less in average thickness.

11 . A method for manufacturing a nonaqueous electrolyte energy storage device, the method comprising:

preparing a positive electrode including a positive active material layer of 5 mAh/cm 2 or more in capacity density per unit area;

preparing a negative electrode including metal lithium, or a surface region capable of depositing metal lithium during charge; and

preparing a nonaqueous electrolyte including an ionic liquid and a fluorinated ether,

wherein the ionic liquid mainly contains an ionic liquid including no ether group.
