Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To provide a non-aqueous electrolyte electricity-storage element including a positive electrode including a positive-electrode active material capable of inserting and releasing anions, a negative electrode including a negative-electrode active material capable of inserting and releasing cations, and a non-aqueous electrolyte, wherein the positive-electrode active material is porous carbon having pores having a three-dimensional network structure, and wherein a changing rate of a cross-sectional thickness of a positive electrode film including the positive-electrode active material defined by Formula (1) below is less than 45%.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A non-aqueous electrolyte electricity-storage element comprising: a positive electrode comprising a positive electrode film which comprises a positive-electrode active material capable of inserting and releasing anions; a negative electrode comprising a negative-electrode active material capable of inserting and releasing cations; and a non-aqueous electrolyte, wherein the positive-electrode active material comprises porous carbon having connecting mesopores which have a three-dimensional network structure, and wherein a changing rate of a cross-sectional thickness of the positive electrode film defined by Formula (1) is less than 45%: Changing ⁢ ⁢ rate ⁢ ⁢ of ⁢ ⁢ cross ⁢ - ⁢ sectional ⁢ ⁢ thickness ⁢ ⁢ ( % ) = Film ⁢ ⁢ thickness ⁢ ⁢ after ⁢ ⁢ charge ⁢ - ⁢ discharge - Film ⁢ ⁢ thickness ⁢ ⁢ before ⁢ ⁢ charge ⁢ - ⁢ discharge Film ⁢ ⁢ thickness ⁢ ⁢ before ⁢ ⁢ charge ⁢ - ⁢ discharge × 100 , Formula ⁢ ⁢ ( 1 ) wherein the charge-discharge in the Formula (1) is 50 cycles charge-discharge where charge is performed with cut-off voltage of 4.5V and discharge is performed with cut-off voltage of 1.5V. 2. The non-aqueous electrolyte electricity-storage element according to claim 1 , wherein the changing rate of the cross-sectional thickness is 20% or less. 3. The non-aqueous electrolyte electricity-storage element according to claim 1 , wherein a discharge capacity of the non-aqueous electrolyte electricity-storage element under charge-discharge conditions of the non-aqueous electrolyte electricity-storage element is 50 mAh/g or greater but 140 mAh/g or less. 4. The non-aqueous electrolyte electricity-storage element according to claim 1 , wherein a BET specific surface area of the porous carbon is 50 m 2 /g or greater but 2,000 m 2 /g or less, and a pore volume of the porous carbon is 0.2 mL/g or greater but 2.3 mL/g or less. 5. The non-aqueous electrolyte electricity-storage element according to claim 1 , wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte is formed by dissolving a lithium salt in a non-aqueous solvent. 6. The non-aqueous electrolyte electricity-storage element according to claim 5 , wherein the non-aqueous solvent is at least one selected from the group consisting of dimethyl carbonate (DMC), ethylene carbonate (EC), and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC). 7. The non-aqueous electrolyte electricity-storage element according to claim 5 , wherein the lithium salt is LiPF 6 .
