Patent ID: 11502335

Abstract:
Provided are an electrolyte for a non-aqueous electrolyte battery using a positive electrode including nickel, where the battery generates a small amount of gas during a durability test even if the cell potential reaches 4.1 V or more, as well as a non-aqueous electrolyte battery using the electrolyte. In the electrolyte for a non-aqueous electrolyte battery including a positive electrode including at least one selected from the group consisting of oxides containing nickel and phosphates containing nickel as a positive electrode active material, the electrolyte comprises (I) a non-aqueous organic solvent, (II) a fluorine-containing solute being an ionic salt, (III) at least one additive selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by formulae (1) and (2), and (IV) hydrogen fluoride in an amount of 5 mass ppm or more and less than 200 mass ppm based on the total amount of the components (I), (II), and (III).
