Abstract

Disclosed is a non-aqueous electrolyte comprising: an acrylate compound; a sulfinyl group-containing compound; an organic solvent; and an electrolyte salt. 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 an acrylate compound; and (ii) a reduced form of a sulfinyl group-containing compound. Further, disclosed is an electrochemical device comprising a cathode, an anode and a non-aqueous electrolyte, wherein (i) the non-aqueous electrolyte is the aforementioned non-aqueous electrolyte; and/or (ii) the cathode and/or the anode is the aforementioned electrode.

Claims (8)

1. A non-aqueous electrolyte solution consisting of: an acrylate compound, a sulfite compound, an organic solvent, and an electrolyte salt; wherein the acrylate compound is used in an amount of 0.05 to 10 wt % in the non-aqueous electrolyte.

2. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the acrylate compound is selected from the group consisting of tetraethyleneglycol diacrylate, polyethyleneglycol diacrylate (molecular weight 50˜20,000), bisphenol A ethoxylated diacrylate (molecular weight 100˜10,000), 1,4-butanediol diacrylate, 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate, trimethylolpropane triacrylate, trimethylolpropane ethyoxylate triacrylate, trimethylolpropane propoxylate triacrylate, ditrimethylolpropane tetraacrylate, pentaerythritol tetraacrylate, pentaerythritol ethoxylate tetraacrylate, dipentaerythritol pentaacrylate, dipentaerythritol hexaacrylate, and tris[2-(acryloyloxy)ethyl]isocyanurate.

3. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sulfite includes a compound represented by the following Formula 1:

wherein each of R 1 and R 2 independently represents a hydrogen atom, halogen atom, C1˜C6 alkyl group, C6˜C12 aryl group, C2˜C6 alkenyl group or a halogen derivative thereof, and R 1 and R 2 may be bound to each other.

4. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the sulfite is selected from the group consisting of ethylene sulfite, methyl ethylene sulfite, ethyl ethylene sulfite, 4,5-dimethyl ethylene sulfite, 4,5-diethyl ethylene sulfite, propylene sulfite, 4,5-dimethyl propylene sulfite, 4,5-diethyl propylene sulfite, 4,6-dimethyl propylene sulfite, 4,6-diethyl propylene sulfite and 1,3-butylene glycol sulfite.

5. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the compound is used in an amount of 0.1˜5 wt % in the non-aqueous electrolyte.

6. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte salt is formed by combination of : (i) a cation selected from the group consisting of Li + , Na + and K + with (ii) an anion selected from the group consisting of PF 6 − , BF 4 − , Cl − , Br − , I − , ClO 4 − , AsF 6 − , CH 3 CO 2 − , CF 3 SO 3 − , N(CF 3 SO 2 ) 2 − and C(CF 2 SO 2 ) 3 − .

7. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the organic solvent is at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of cyclic carbonates, linear carbonates, lactones, ethers, esters, acetonitriles, lactams, ketones and halogen derivatives thereof.
