Abstract

Provided are a non-aqueous electrolyte solution which includes a lithium salt including lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI) and an additive including a vinylene carbonate-based compound and a sultone-based compound, 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, and capacity characteristics.

Claims (20)

1. A non-aqueous electrolyte solution comprising:

i) lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide (LiFSI);

ii) a lithium salt;

iii) an electrolyte solution additive including a vinylene carbonate-based compound and a sultone-based compound; and

iv) a non-aqueous organic solvent,

wherein a mixing 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,

wherein the non-aqueous organic solvent is selected from the group consisting of linear carbonate, cyclic carbonate, ether, ketone, and mixtures thereof,

wherein an amount of the vinylene carbonate-based compound is in a range of 0.1 wt % to 5 wt % based on the total weight of the electrolyte solution, and

wherein an amount of the sultone-based compound is in a range of 0.01 wt % to 5 wt % based on the total weight of the electrolyte solution.

2. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution of claim 1 , wherein a concentration of the lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide in the non-aqueous electrolyte solution is in a range of 0.1 mole/l to 2 mole/l.

3. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution of claim 1 , wherein the lithium salt comprises any one selected from the group consisting of LiPF 6 , LiAsF 6 , LiCF 3 SO 3 , LiN(CF 3 SO 2 ) 2 , LiBF 6 , LiSbF 6 , LiN(C 2 F 5 SO 2 ) 2 , LiAlO 4 , LiAlCl 4 , LiSO 3 CF 3 and LiClO 4 , or a mixture of two or more thereof.

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

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

6. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution of claim 1 , further comprising one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of LiBF 4 , lithium oxalyldifluoroborate (LiODFB), and ethylene sulfate (ESa).

7. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution of claim 1 , further comprising two or more compounds selected from the group consisting of LiBF 4 , lithium oxalyldifluoroborate (LiODFB), and ethylene sulfate (ESa).

8. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution of claim 1 , wherein the cyclic carbonate is any one selected from the group consisting of ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), and butylene carbonate (BC), or a mixture of two or more thereof, and the linear carbonate is any one selected from the group consisting of dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), dipropyl carbonate (DPC), ethylmethyl carbonate (EMC), methylpropyl carbonate (MPC), and ethylpropyl carbonate (EPC), or a mixture of two or more thereof.

9. A lithium secondary battery comprising:

a cathode;

an anode; and

the non-aqueous electrolyte solution of claim 1 .
