Abstract

A nonaqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode and a nonaqueous electrolyte. The nonaqueous electrolyte contains a film forming agent, and at least two films are formed in layers at least at a part of a surface of the negative electrode in accordance with charging and discharging of the nonaqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery. The film forming agent includes at least one kind of lithium salt having an oxalate complex. Among the at least two films, an innermost film is an oxalate complex-derived film that is derived from the oxalate complex and has a thickness equal to or greater than a film formed on an outer side of the innermost film. The film forming agent includes a compound having a LUMO level higher than the lithium salt incorporated in the oxalate complex-derived film as a high LUMO film forming agent.

Claims

1. A nonaqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery comprising:

a positive electrode and a negative electrode occluding and discharging lithium ions; and

a nonaqueous electrolyte, wherein

the nonaqueous electrolyte contains a film forming agent,

the film forming agent includes at least two kinds of compounds, and forms at least two films in layers at least at a part of a surface of the negative electrode in accordance with charging and discharging of the nonaqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery,

the at least two kinds of compounds of the film forming agent include at least one kind of lithium salt having an oxalate complex,

among the at least two films, an innermost film is an oxalate complex-derived film that is derived from the oxalate complex and has a thickness equal to or greater than a film formed on an outer side of the innermost film, and

the at least two kinds of compounds of the film forming agent include a compound having a LUMO level higher than that of the at least one kind of lithium salt incorporated in the oxalate complex-derived film as a high LUMO film forming agent.

2. The nonaqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery according to claim 1, wherein

the thickness of the oxalate complex-derived film is equal to or greater than 5 nm and equal to or less than 20 nm.

3. The nonaqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery according to claim 1,

wherein the at least one kind of lithium salt having the oxalate complex is selected from a group consisting of compounds expressed by following formulas (1) to (4), in which each of R1 to R10 is an alkyl group, fluorine, bromine, or chlorine, and M is boron, phosphorous or silicon, and in a case where M is boron or silicon, the formula (4) does not have R9 and R10,

4. The nonaqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery according to claim 1, wherein

a content of the lithium salt having the oxalate complex is 0.3% to 1.5% of a total mass of the nonaqueous electrolyte.

5. The nonaqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery according to claim 1, wherein

the at least two kinds of compounds of the film forming agent include at least one selected from a group consisting of compounds expressed by following formulas (5) to (24),

6. The nonaqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery according to claim 1, wherein

a content of the compound as the high LUMO film forming agent is equal to or greater than 0.3% of a total mass of the nonaqueous electrolyte.
