Abstract

Disclosed is a compound represented by the following formula 1: wherein, each of R 1 ˜R 13 independently represents —H, —F, —Cl, —Br, —I, —OH, —SH, —COOH, —PO 3 H 2 , —NH 2 , —NO 2 , —O(CH 2 CH 2 O) n H (wherein, n is an integer of 1˜5), C 1 ˜C 12 alkyl group, C 1 ˜C 12 aminoalkyl group, C 1 ˜C 12 hydroxyalkyl group, C 1 ˜C 12 haloalkyl group, C 2 ˜C 12 alkenyl group, C 1 ˜C 12 alkoxy group, C 1 ˜C 12 alkylamino group, C 1 ˜C 12 dialkylamino group, C 6 ˜C 18 aryl group, C 6 ˜C 18 aminoaryl group, C 6 ˜C 18 hydroxyaryl group, C 6 ˜C 18 haloaryl group, C 7 ˜C 18 benzyl group, C 7 ˜C 18 aminobenzyl group, C 7 ˜C 18 hydroxybenzyl group, C 7 ˜C 18 halobenzyl group, or nitrile group (—CN); and at least one of R 4 ˜R 13 is nitrile group (—CN). A non-aqueous electrolyte comprising: (i) a lithium salt, (ii) a solvent, and (iii) a compound represented by formula 1; and a secondary battery comprising the non-aqueous electrolyte are also disclosed. When the compound represented by formula 1 is added to a non-aqueous electrolyte, it is possible to improve the safety of a secondary battery in an overcharged state.

Claims (9)

1. A non-aqueous electrolyte, which comprises:

(i) a lithium salt selected from the group consisting of LiClO 4 , LiCF 3 SO 3 , LiPF 6 , LiBF 4 , LiAsF 6 , and LiN(CF 3 SO 2 ) 2 ;

(ii) a solvent selected from the group consisting of a cyclic carbonate, a linear carbonate, and a combination thereof; and

(ii) a compound represented by the following formula 2:

wherein, each of R 1 ˜R 11 independently represents —H, —F, —Cl, —Br, —I —OH, —SH, —COOH, —PO 3 H 2 , —NH 2 , —NO 2 , —O(CH 2 CH 2 O) n H (wherein, n is an integer of 1˜5), C 1 ˜C 12 alkyl group, C 1 ˜C 12 aminoalkyl group, C 1 ˜C 12 hydroxyalkyl group, C 1 ˜C 12 haloalkyl group, C 2 ˜C 12 alkenyl group, C 1 ˜C 12 alkoxy group, C 1 ˜C 12 alkylamino group, C 1 ˜C 12 dialkylamino group, C 6 ˜C 18 aryl group, C 6 ˜C 18 aminoaryl group, C 6 ˜C 18 hydroxyaryl group, C 6 ˜C 18 haloaryl group, C 7 ˜C 18 benzyl group, C 7 ˜C 18 aminobenzyl group, C 7 ˜C 18 hydroxybenzyl group, C 7 ˜C 18 halobenzyl group, or nitrile group (—CN).

2. The non-aqueous electrolyte according to claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by formula 1 is used in an amount of 0.5 wt %˜10 wt % based on 100 wt % of the non-aqueous electrolyte.

3. The non-aqueous electrolyte according to claim 1 , which further comprises cyclohexylbenzene or a derivative thereof.

4. The non-aqueous electrolyte according to claim 1 , which further comprises a benzene derivative capable of forming a polymer.

5. The non-aqueous electrolyte according to claim 1 , wherein the solvent includes at least one cyclic carbonate selected from the group consisting of ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), and gamma-butyrolactone (GBL); and at least one linear carbonate selected from the group consisting of diethyl carbonate (DEC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), ethylmethyl carbonate (EMC), and methyl propyl carbonate (MPC).
