Abstract

Provided are a non-aqueous electrolyte solution including propylene carbonate (PC) and lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI), and a lithium secondary battery including the non-aqueous electrolyte solution. The lithium secondary battery including the non-aqueous electrolyte solution of the present invention may improve low-temperature output characteristics, high-temperature cycle characteristics, output characteristics after high-temperature storage, capacity characteristics, and swelling characteristics.

Claims (20)

1. A non-aqueous electrolyte solution comprising:

i) a non-aqueous organic solvent consisting of a carbonate-based solvent;

ii) lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI); and

iii) an additive comprising a vinylene carbonate-based compound and a sultone-based compound;

wherein the carbonate-based solvent comprises propylene carbonate and at least one selected from the group consisting of butylene carbonate (BC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), dipropyl carbonate (DPC), ethylmethyl carbonate (EMC), methylpropyl carbonate (MPC), ethylpropyl carbonate (EPC), and a mixture of two or more thereof,

wherein the carbonate-based solvent does not comprise ethylene carbonate (EC),

wherein a concentration of the lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide in the non-aqueous electrolyte solution is in a range of 0.6 mol/l to 1.5 mole/l, and

wherein an amount of the propylene carbonate is in a range of 5 parts by weight to 60 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the non-aqueous organic solvent.

2. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution of claim 1 , wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte solution further comprises a lithium salt, wherein a mixture ratio of the lithium salt to the lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide is in a range of 1:6 to 1:9 as a molar ratio.

3. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution of claim 2 , wherein the lithium salt comprises any one selected from the group consisting of LiPF 6 , LiBF 4 , LiSbF 6 , LiAsF 6 , LiClO 4 , LiN(C 2 F 5 SO 2 ) 2 , LiN(CF 3 SO 2 ) 2 , CF 3 SO 3 Li, LiC(CF 3 SO 2 ) 3 , LiC 4 BO 8 , and a mixture of two or more thereof.

4. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution of claim 1 , wherein the amount of the propylene carbonate is in a range of 10 parts by weight to 50 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the non-aqueous organic solvent.

5. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution of claim 1 , wherein the vinylene carbonate-based compound comprises vinylene carbonate, vinylene ethylene carbonate, or a mixture thereof.

6. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution of claim 1 , wherein the sultone-based compound comprises any one selected from the group consisting of 1,3-propane sultone, 1,4-butane sultone, a1,3-propene sultone, and a mixture of two or more thereof.

7. A lithium secondary battery comprising:

a cathode including a cathode active material;

an anode including an anode active material;

a separator disposed between the cathode and the anode; and

the non-aqueous electrolyte solution of claim 1 .

8. The lithium secondary battery of claim 7 , wherein the anode active material comprises a carbon-based anode active material.

9. The lithium secondary battery of claim 8 , wherein the anode active material comprises graphitic carbon.
