Abstract

Disclosed is a non-aqueous electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution includes an electrolyte salt and an organic solvent. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution further includes (a) a polyfunctional compound including two or more functional groups, at least one of which is an acryl group, and (b) an anion receptor selected from the group consisting of a borane compound, a borate compound and a mixture thereof. Further disclosed is a lithium secondary battery including the non-aqueous electrolyte solution. A stable solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film is formed on an anode of the lithium secondary battery. The amount of LiF in the SEI film is controlled, achieving improved cycle life characteristics of the battery.

Claims (15)

1. A non-aqueous electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery comprising an electrolyte salt and an organic solvent, wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte solution further comprises

(a) a polyfunctional compound comprising two or more functional groups, at least one of which is an acryl group, and

(b) an anion receptor selected from the group consisting of a borane compound, a borate compound and a mixture thereof, wherein the borane compound is represented by Formula 1:

wherein R 1 to R 3 are each independently hydrogen, halogen, C 1 -C 6 alkyl or silyl; and

wherein the borate compound is represented by Formula 2:

wherein R 4 to R 6 are each independently hydrogen, halogen, C 1 -C 6 alkyl or silyl.

2. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the polyfunctional compound comprises two or more acryl groups.

3. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 2 , wherein the polyfunctional compound is selected from the group consisting of tetraethylene glycol diacrylate, polyethylene glycol diacrylate having a molecular weight of 50 to 20,000, bisphenol A ethoxylated diacrylate having a molecular weight of 100 to 10,000, 1,4-butanediol diacrylate, 1,6-hexandiol diacrylate, neopentyl glycol dimethacrylate, trimethylolpropane triacrylate, ditrimethylolpropane tetraacrylate, dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate, dipentapentaerythritol pentaacrylate, tis[2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl]isocyanurate, and mixtures thereof.
