Abstract

A non-aqueous electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery includes a non-aqueous solvent and a lithium salt dissolved in the non-aqueous solvent. The lithium salt includes LiN(CF 3 SO 2 ) 2 . The non-aqueous electrolyte solution further includes a sulfate-based compound and vinylene carbonate. A lithium secondary battery having the above non-aqueous electrolyte solution may keep overall high temperature performance in a high level and also improve low temperature power characteristics.

Claims (17)

1. A non-aqueous electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery comprising a non-aqueous solvent and additives comprising:

(A) a lithium salt;

(B) a sulfate-based compound expressed by the following Chemistry Figure 1,

where n is an integer in the range from 2 to 5; and

(C) vinylene carbonate;

wherein the lithium salt comprises a mixture of:

(1) 0.1 to 0.5 mol LiN(CF 3 SO 2 ) 2 based on 1 mol total of lithium salts present in the mixture; and

(2) 0.5 to 0.9 mol of LiPF 6 , based on 1 mol total of lithium salts present in the mixture.

2. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the contents of the sulfate-based compound and the vinylene carbonate are respectively 0.5 to 10 weight %, based on the total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte solution.

3. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 2 , wherein a content ratio of the sulfate-based compound to the vinylene carbonate is 1:1 to 1:4, and the total content of the sulfate-based compound and the vinylene carbonate is 0.5 to 10 weight %, based on the total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte solution.

4. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the sulfate-based compound is ethylene sulfate.

5. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte solvent is selected from the group consisting of:

(a) cyclic carbonates selected from the group consisting of ethylene carbonate, propylene carbonate and their mixtures; a

(b) linear carbonates selected from the group consisting of diethyl carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, methylethyl carbonate dipropyl carbonate, and their mixtures;

(c) dimethyl sulfoxide, acetonitrile, dimethoxyethane, diethoxyethane, sulforan, gamma-butyrolactone, tetrahydrofuran, ethyl propionate, propyl propionate, and their mixtures; and

mixtures thereof.

6. A lithium secondary battery, which includes an anode, a cathode and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution, wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte solution is a non-aqueous electrolyte solution defined in claim 1 .
