Abstract

Disclosed is a non-aqueous electrolyte comprising: a first acrylate compound having one or two acryl groups; a second acrylate compound having three or more acryl groups; an electrolyte salt; and an organic solvent. Also, disclosed is an electrode comprising a coating layer formed partially or totally on a surface thereof, the coating layer comprising: (i) a reduced form of a first acrylate compound having one or two acryl groups; and (ii) a reduced form of a second acrylate compound having three or more acryl groups. Further, disclosed in an electrochemical device comprising a cathode, an anode, a separator and a non-aqueous electrolyte, wherein (i) the non-aqueous electrolyte is the above non-aqueous electrolyte; and/or (ii) the cathode and/or the anode is the above electrode.
