Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a nonaqueous electrolytic solution that provides an electric double layer capacitor having excellent durability. The nonaqueous electrolytic solution of the present invention is a nonaqueous electrolytic solution for electric double layer capacitors prepared by dissolving a quaternary ammonium salt as an electrolyte in a nonaqueous solvent, and the nonaqueous electrolytic solution has an alkali metal cation concentration of 0.1 to 30 ppm.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A nonaqueous electrolytic solution for electric double layer capacitors prepared by dissolving a quaternary ammonium salt represented by the general formula (I): Q + X −   (I) (wherein Q + represents a quaternary ammonium cation, X − represents a counter ion selected from the group consisting of PF 6 − , BF 4 − , AsF 6 − , N(CF 3 SO 3 ) 2 − , SbF 6 − , and RfSO 3 − (Rf is a fluoroalkyl group having 1 to 8 carbon atoms)) as an electrolyte in a nonaqueous solvent, the quaternary ammonium salt excluding spiro quaternary ammonium tetrafluoroborate, the nonaqueous electrolytic solution having an alkali metal cation concentration of 0.1 to 30 ppm. 2 . The nonaqueous electrolytic solution according to claim 1 , wherein the alkali metal cation concentration is more than 10 ppm and not more than 30 ppm. 3 . The nonaqueous electrolytic solution according to claim 1 , wherein the alkali metal cation concentration is 12 to 30 ppm. 4 . The nonaqueous electrolytic solution according to claim 1 , wherein the alkali metal cation is a sodium ion and/or a potassium ion. 5 . The nonaqueous electrolytic solution according to claim 1 , wherein the quaternary ammonium cation is tetraalkyl ammonium or pyrrolidinium. 6 . The nonaqueous electrolytic solution according to claim 1 , wherein the quaternary ammonium cation is N-ethyl-N-methyl pyrrolidinium. 7 . The nonaqueous electrolytic solution according to claim 1 , wherein the quaternary ammonium cation is N,N,N-triethyl-N-methyl ammonium. 8 . The nonaqueous electrolytic solution according to claim 1 , wherein the X − in the general formula (I) is BF 4 − . 9 . The nonaqueous electrolytic solution according to claim 1 , wherein the nonaqueous solvent is at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of propylene carbonate, ethylene carbonate, butylene carbonate, sulfolane, methylsulfolane, dimethyl carbonate, ethyl methyl carbonate, and diethyl carbonate. 10 . An electric double layer capacitor comprising the nonaqueous electrolytic solution according to claim 1 as an electrolytic solution.
