Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a method by which the degraded performance of a lithium ion secondary battery containing phosphorus atoms (P) in a nonaqueous electrolytic solution can be restored by subjecting the lithium ion secondary battery in which a coating film including P is formed on a positive electrode surface, to a comparatively simple treatment. The degraded performance recovery method for a lithium ion secondary battery disclosed herein includes an ultrasound treatment step of applying ultrasound to the lithium ion secondary battery. In the ultrasound treatment step, the frequency of the generated ultrasound is 900 kHz or higher, and the period of time in which the ultrasound is applied to the lithium ion secondary battery continuously is 5 min or more.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A degraded performance recovery method for a lithium ion secondary battery including an electrode body having a positive electrode and a negative electrode and a nonaqueous electrolytic solution including phosphorus atoms (P), the method comprising: an ultrasound treatment step of applying ultrasound to the lithium ion secondary battery, wherein in the ultrasound treatment step, the frequency of the generated ultrasound is 900 kHz or higher, and a period of time in which the ultrasound is applied to the lithium ion secondary battery continuously is 5 min or more. 2. The degraded performance recovery method for a lithium ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the frequency of the generated ultrasound is 2000 kHz or less. 3. The degraded performance recovery method for a lithium ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the period of time in which the ultrasound is applied to the lithium ion secondary battery continuously is 30 min or less. 4. The degraded performance recovery method for a lithium ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , the method comprising, after the ultrasound treatment step, a confirmation step of acquiring an evaluation parameter with respect to the lithium ion secondary battery subjected to the ultrasound treatment and determining a degree at which the degradation of the battery performance has been eliminated on the basis of the acquired evaluation parameter.
