Description

有機系電解質および有機系電解質蓄電池Organic electrolyte and organic electrolyte storage battery
 本発明は、有機系電解質およびそれを用いた有機系電解質蓄電池に関する。 The present invention relates to an organic electrolyte and an organic electrolyte storage battery using the same.
 近年、地球環境との調和を目指した社会構築に向け、化石燃料利用によるCO排出を抑制する試みが多くされている。なかでも自動車等、運輸部門におけるCO排出に関しては、政府により規制がなされ、自動車会社各社によるハイブリッド電気自動車(HEV)、プラグインハイブリッド電気自動車(PHEV)、蓄電池駆動式電気自動車(BEV)の開発、製品化が加速されている。これら電気自動車のエネルギー源として、安定的に長期間繰返して充放電可能な大型蓄電池の開発が盛んに行われている。有機系電解質蓄電池は、ニッケル水素電池を含む他の蓄電池に比べ、その動作電圧が高く、高出力、高エネルギー密度を達成しやすい有力な電池であり、電気自動車のエネルギー源として益々重要性が増している。このため種々の開発が進められてきており、例えば、電気自動車の走行可能距離を左右する初期蓄電容量を向上させるための化合物等が検討されている。発明者らも種々の化合物を検討した結果、シクロヘキシル基を有する化合物が初期蓄電容量を向上させることを見出している(特許文献1)。
 一方、自動車用途においては、初期蓄電容量とともに約10年間程度の長期間にわたる使用が可能であること、すなわち高い耐久性が求められている。例えば、非特許文献1においては、リチウム―インジウム合金電極を用いた通電実験により、デカリン等の飽和炭化水素を電解質に添加した場合において、合金電極上へのリチウムデンドライトの形成が抑制されることが報告されている。本報告は、リチウム金属負極を用いた二次電池での劣化抑制効果を示唆するものであるが、詳細な実験内容が不明であることもあり、実際の蓄電池へ適応可能かどうかは明らかではない。
In recent years, many attempts have been made to suppress CO 2 emissions due to the use of fossil fuels for the construction of a society aiming at harmony with the global environment. Among them, an automobile or the like, with respect to CO 2 emissions in the transport sector, regulated by the government have been made, the development of a hybrid electric vehicle according to car companies each company (HEV), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV), battery-driven electric vehicle (BEV) , Commercialization has been accelerated. As energy sources for these electric vehicles, large-scale storage batteries that can be charged and discharged repeatedly for a long period of time have been actively developed. Organic electrolyte storage batteries have a higher operating voltage than other storage batteries, including nickel metal hydride batteries, and are powerful batteries that can easily achieve high output and high energy density. They are becoming increasingly important as energy sources for electric vehicles. ing. For this reason, various developments have been promoted. For example, a compound for improving the initial storage capacity that affects the travelable distance of an electric vehicle has been studied. As a result of studying various compounds, the inventors have found that a compound having a cyclohexyl group improves the initial storage capacity (Patent Document 1).
On the other hand, in automotive applications, it is required that the battery can be used for a long period of about 10 years together with the initial storage capacity, that is, high durability. For example, in Non-Patent Document 1, formation of lithium dendrite on an alloy electrode is suppressed when a saturated hydrocarbon such as decalin is added to an electrolyte in an energization experiment using a lithium-indium alloy electrode. It has been reported. This report suggests the effect of suppressing deterioration in a secondary battery using a lithium metal negative electrode, but it is not clear whether it can be applied to an actual storage battery because the details of the experiment may not be clear. .

It has been found that durability can be further improved by adjusting the type and blending amount of the viscosity solvent, and the present invention has been completed.

 一般に電池を充電する際の電圧(充電電圧)が高ければ高いほどより多くの電力を電池に充電することができ、また放電時の出力も向上させることができる。一方、充電電圧が高いと電極材料等の劣化を招きやすく、繰り返し性の低下や安全性や経済性の点で問題がある。このことから有機系電解質蓄電池の充電電圧は現状4.10~4.20Vが一般的である。しかし本発明の有機系電解質蓄電池は高い耐久性を有するためより高い充電電圧を採用できる。具体的には4.20Vより高く、好ましくは4.25V以上、より好ましくは4.35V以上、さらに好ましくは4.45V以上の充電電圧で使用することができる。 Generally, the higher the voltage (charging voltage) when charging a battery, the more power can be charged into the battery, and the output during discharging can be improved. On the other hand, when the charging voltage is high, the electrode material and the like are liable to be deteriorated, and there are problems in terms of reduction in repeatability, safety and economy. Therefore, the current charging voltage of the organic electrolyte storage battery is generally 4.10 to 4.20V. However, since the organic electrolyte storage battery of the present invention has high durability, a higher charging voltage can be adopted. Specifically, it can be used at a charging voltage higher than 4.20V, preferably 4.25V or higher, more preferably 4.35V or higher, and still more preferably 4.45V or higher.
