Abstract

The present invention relates to a sulfolane-based electrolyte composition suitable for Lithium secondary batteries, comprising lithium bis(trifluoromethansolfonyl)imide (LiTFSI) in an amount (x) of 39.0 vol %≤x≤47.5 vol %, fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) in an amount (y) of 0<y≤15 vol %, equivalent to an amount of 0<y≤14.0 wt. %, relative to the total volume, respectively weight, of the electrolyte composition, and sulfolane, wherein SL/LiTFSI is comprised in a molar ratio (z) of 2≤z≤3.5 as well as its application in a Lithium secondary battery cell.
