Definitions
- the present invention relates to a lithium secondary battery, and more particularly, to a lithium secondary battery using a case having shape changeability.
- a lithium secondary battery in which a battery element having a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolytic solution is housed in a case is known.
- the most common lithium secondary battery uses a rigid metal can made of a metal such as USB as the case.
- the battery element is housed inside the case in a state where the electrodes are in close contact with each other.
- a lithium secondary battery using such a metal can has been replaced with a lithium secondary battery that uses a shape-changing external material such as a laminate film in which resin layers are provided on both sides of a gas barrier layer.
- Secondary batteries have been put into practical use.
- the weight of the exterior material and the thickness of the lithium secondary battery can be reduced, so that the lithium secondary battery can be further reduced in size and weight, and furthermore, the volume energy and density can be reduced. It is possible to improve the weight energy density.
- a lithium secondary battery using a case with the above-mentioned shape changeability has a weaker case than a lithium secondary battery sealed in a sturdy metal can case. It has new problems such as deterioration of cycle characteristics and deterioration of electrolyte impregnation due to inferior properties.
- the inside of the case is reduced in pressure to secure the adhesion between the electrodes of the battery element by atmospheric pressure, but at atmospheric pressure, the force to press the battery element from the outside is high. It is not sufficient, and the cycle characteristics tend to deteriorate due to poor adhesion between the electrodes.
- the shape of the bonded part of the deformable case is deteriorated at high temperatures, water is mixed in with this deterioration, gas is generated by the decomposition reaction of the electrolyte, and the solvent is vaporized when a low boiling solvent is used.
- the degree of decompression inside the variable case is reduced, the adhesion between the electrodes is further reduced, and the cycle characteristics are significantly deteriorated.
- the adhesion between the electrodes is sufficiently high because the highly rigid metal can case strongly presses the battery element housed inside.
- the use of the deformable case has poorer electrode adhesion than the case of using a metal can case, so that the quality of the electrolyte impregnation greatly affects the battery performance. That is, in a battery using a conventional metal can case, as described above, the metal can case has a role of pressing down the battery element from the outside, so that the adhesion between the electrodes is originally high, and the decrease in the electrolyte impregnation is not sufficient. Has a small effect. However, in a battery using a case with a variable shape, the adhesion between the electrodes is relatively poor compared to a metal can case due to the low rigidity of the case, so the impregnation of the electrolyte is good. This will greatly affect battery performance.
- a solvent of the electrolytic solution is used. It is preferable to use a solvent having a high boiling point.
- a high-boiling solvent generally has a high viscosity, the use of a high-boiling solvent causes a problem that the fluidity of the electrolytic solution and thus the electrolyte decreases, and the impregnation of the electrolyte deteriorates.
- the present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to improve the cycle characteristics of a lithium secondary battery using a case having shape changeability, and further improve the impregnation of an electrolyte.
- the purpose is to improve characteristics and the like. Disclosure of the invention
- the present inventors have conducted intensive studies to achieve the above object, and found that a specific compound such as an ether having an aromatic group was hermetically contained in a case having shape deformability by being present in a battery. The present inventors have found that the cycle characteristics and the impregnation of the electrolyte in the lithium secondary battery are improved, and completed the present invention.
- the gist of the present invention is to provide a lithium secondary battery in which a battery element having a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte is hermetically housed in a case having shape changeability, wherein the lithium secondary battery has the following general formula (1)
- a lithium secondary battery comprising a compound represented by the formula: '
- a 1 and A 2 represent an aromatic group.
- a 1 and A 2 may be the same or different and are bonded to each other to form a ring. May be configured.
- the cycle characteristics are improved by including the compound represented by the general formula (1) in the lithium secondary battery, but also the electrolyte is inserted into the electrode and into the spacer sandwiched between the electrodes.
- the rate characteristics and initial efficiency are dramatically improved.
- the reason why the cycle characteristics are improved is not clear, but the reason that the electrolyte impregnation is improved is that the compound represented by the general formula (1) plays a role as a surfactant. It is thought that it may be responsible.
- Patent No. 2983205 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-23023 disclose analogous compounds of the compound represented by the above general formula (1) used in the present invention. Contained in the electrolyte The technique to make it happen is introduced.
- the lithium secondary batteries specifically disclosed are a cylindrical battery and a prismatic battery (a battery using a metal can case). The material of the case is clearly different from the stored lithium secondary battery.
- a cylindrical battery or a prismatic battery having a high case rigidity is used, so that the problem as in the present invention does not occur in the first place.
- the reason why a compound similar to the compound represented by the general formula (1) is added to the electrolytic solution is to improve the safety of the lithium secondary battery.
- the present invention in order to improve the deterioration of the cycle characteristics due to the decrease in the electrode adhesion and the decrease in the impregnation of the electrolyte, which are problems for the first time when the deformable case is used, The compound represented by the general formula (1) is contained in a lithium secondary battery.
