Nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery
View Patent ↗A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, comprising a positive electrode having a positive-electrode active material layer reversibly inserting and extracting lithium ions on a positive-electrode current collector, a negative electrode having a negative-electrode active material layer reversibly inserting and extracting lithium ions on a negative-electrode current collector, and a nonaqueous electrolyte solution, wherein at least one of the positive and negative electrodes has a film on the surface and at least one of the positive electrode, the negative electrode and the nonaqueous electrolyte solution contains a nitrogen-containing cyclic compound. Such a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery is superior in high-temperature storage stability allowing preservation of favorable discharge rate even after high-temperature storage.
1. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, comprising:
a positive electrode having a positive-electrode active material layer reversibly inserting and extracting lithium ions on a positive-electrode current collector;
a negative electrode having a negative-electrode active material layer reversibly inserting and extracting lithium ions on a negative-electrode current collector; and
a nonaqueous electrolyte solution, wherein:
at least one of the positive and negative electrodes has a film on the surface,
at least one of the positive electrode and the negative electrode contains a nitrogen-containing cyclic compound,
the nitrogen-containing cyclic compound is pyrrole,
the electrode containing the nitrogen-containing cyclic compound is the same as the electrode having the film on the surface thereof,
the nitrogen-containing cyclic compound is bonded to the surface of the positive-electrode active material layer or the negative-electrode active material layer, and
the content amount of the nitrogen-containing cyclic compound is from 1 to 5 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the nonaqueous solvent.
2. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the film is an inorganic oxide-containing film.
3. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 2 , wherein the inorganic oxide is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of alumina, titania, zirconia, magnesia and silica.
4. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 2 , wherein the polyamide in the polyamide film is an aramide.
5. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the nonaqueous electrolyte solution contains at least one nonaqueous solvent selected from ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate, and sulfolane.
