  • Patent number: 8216724
    Abstract: A polymer electrolyte capable of obtaining superior discharge characteristics and a battery using it are provided. A cathode (21) and an anode (22) are wound with a separator (24) in between. After that, the wound body is contained inside a package member. Then, an electrolytic composition containing a solvent, polyvinyl acetal or the derivative thereof, and lithium hexafluorophosphate is added thereto. Polyvinyl acetal or the derivative thereof is polymerized by using lithium hexafluorophosphate as a catalyst. Thereby, a polymer electrolyte (23) is formed, and the discharge characteristics are improved.

  • Patent number: 7906237
    Abstract: A battery is provided which has a high capacity and can improve battery characteristics, such as cycle characteristics. The battery includes a spirally wound electrode body, wherein a cathode and an anode are wound with a separator in between. The anode includes, for example, simple substances, alloys, compounds of metal elements or metalloid elements capable of forming an alloy with Li, the like and combinations thereof. An electrolytic solution wherein an electrolyte salt is dissolved in a solvent is impregnated in the separator. For the electrolyte salt, a light metallic salt having B—O bond or P—O bond, such as difluoro[oxalato-O,O?]lithium borate and tetra fluoro[oxalato-O,O?]lithium phosphate, can be used. By forming a stable coating, decomposition reaction of the solvent can be inhibited, and reaction between the anode and the solvent can be prevented.

  • Publication number: 20090023076
    Abstract: A polymer electrolyte with the superior chemical stability and the high ion conductivity and a battery using it are provided. A polymer electrolyte (23) contains a polymer compound having a structure in which polyvinyl acetal is polymerized and an electrolytic solution containing a solvent and an electrolyte salt. The solvent contains 80 wt % or more of carbonate ester in which a cyclic compound such as ethylene carbonate and a chain compound such as methyl ethyl carbonate are mixed. The weight ratio between the cyclic compound and the chain compound in carbonate ester is in the range from 2:8 to 5:5. Thereby, high ion conductivity can be obtained. In addition, even when the ratio of carbonate ester in the solvent is increased, the solubility of polyvinyl acetal can be improved.

  • Patent number: 7311996
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery in which a spirally coiled battery element obtained by spirally coiling an anode (3) and a cathode (2) through a separator (4) is accommodated in a battery can (5) filled with a non-aqueous electrolyte. A fluoride MFn (M indicates at least one metal selected from between Cu, Ni, Ag, Ti, Sn and Cr, and n is an integer.) is included in the anode before an initial charging operation, and assuming that the initial charging capacity of the battery is Q [mAh] and a Faraday constant is F [C/mol], an amount m [mol] of the fluoride MFn included in the anode is located within a range represented by the following expression 0.0036 Q/nF?m?0.36 Q/nF.

  • Publication number: 20040259000
    Abstract: A battery capable of improving battery characteristics such as cycle characteristics is provided. The battery includes a spirally wound electrode body including a cathode and an anode spirally wound with a separator in between. The capacity of the anode includes a capacity component by insertion and extraction of light metal and a capacity component by precipitation and dissolution of the light metal, and is represented by the sum of them. The separator is impregnated with an electrolyte solution formed through dissolving a lithium salt in a solvent. As the electrolyte salt, difluoro[oxalato-O,O′]lithium borate, tetrafluoro[oxalato-O,O′]lithium phosphate or difluorobis[oxalato-O,O′]lithium phosphate is used. By the formation of a stable coating, decomposition of the solvent and a reaction between precipitated lithium metal and the solvent can be prevented.

  • Patent number: 5644703
    Abstract: A circuit by which an SWI instruction held in a memory circuit is switchedly input in response to a signal supplied externally is provided in a processor, whereby the substitution of a program word can be realized using such an internal circuit, so that a high-speed and reliable break in program execution can be effected. Moreover, an interrupt function separate from normal interrupts is established by setting a specified operation mode, whereby, when a data processor is used as an emulator, the break of a user program including the ordinary interrupt processes can be easily effected by utilizing the special interrupt function. Also, by additionally providing the function of delivering out a signal indicative of the break status, an external circuit can be simplified.
