A nonaqueous electrolytic solution of an electrolyte salt dissolved in a nonaqueous solvent, which contains a carboxylate represented by the following general formula (8) in an amount of from 0.01 to 5% by mass of the nonaqueous electrolytic solution: 

Nonaqueous electrolyte solution and electrochemical element using same

Disclosed are a nonaqueous electrolytic solution of an electrolyte salt dissolved in a nonaqueous solvent, which contains a sulfonate compound having a specific structure in an amount of from 0.01 to 10% by mass of the nonaqueous electrolytic solution, and an electrochemical device containing the nonaqueous electrolytic solution. The nonaqueous electrolytic solution is excellent in the effect of improving the storage property of primary batteries and improving the cycle property of secondary batteries in use thereof at high temperatures and the low-temperature property thereof after high-temperature cycles.

Disclosed are (1) a nonaqueous electrolytic solution for lithium battery comprising an electrolyte dissolved in a nonaqueous solvent, which contains at least one hydroxy acid derivative compound represented by the formulae (I) and (II) in an amount of from 0.01 to 10% by mass of the nonaqueous electrolytic solution, and which can improve the low-temperature and high-temperature cycle property thereof (wherein Rrepresents an alkyl group having from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, an alkenyl group having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, or an alkynyl group having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms, Rrepresents a sulfonyl group or a formyl group, Rand Reach represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl group); (2) a lithium battery comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode and a nonaqueous electrolytic solution of an electrolyte salt dissolved in a nonaqueous solvent, wherein the nonaqueous electrolytic solution contains at least one hydroxy acid derivative compound represented by the above formulae (I) and (II) in an amount of from 0.01 to 10% by mass of the nonaqueous electrolytic solution; and (3) a hydroxy acid derivative compound represented by the following formula (III) or (IV) (wherein Rrepresents an alkenyl group having from 2 to 6 carbon atoms, or an alkynyl group having from 3 to 6 carbon atoms, Rrepresents a sulfonyl group or a formyl group, and Rand Reach represent a hydrogen atom or a methyl group).

Non-aqueous electrolyte for a lithium battery, lithium battery wherein said electrolyte is used, and hydroxy-acid derivative for use in said electrolyte

The present invention provides (1) a sulfone compounds having a propargyl group, (2) a nonaqueous electrolytic solution for lithium secondary batteries, which comprises an electrolyte salt dissolved in a nonaqueous solvent and contains a sulfone compound having a specific structure that has an SOgroup with a propargyl group or a vinyl group bonding thereto, in an amount of from 0.01 to 10% by weight of the nonaqueous electrolytic solution, and which can prevent gas generation and is excellent in battery characteristics such as cycle property and the like, and (3) a lithium secondary battery comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode and a nonaqueous electrolytic solution of an electrolyte salt dissolved in a nonaqueous solvent, wherein the nonaqueous electrolytic solution contains a sulfone compound having a specific structure, in an amount of from 0.01 to 10% by weight of the nonaqueous electrolytic solution.
