Abstract

Disclosed is a lithium secondary battery including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator and a nonaqueous electrolyte, wherein the positive electrode includes Li a Ni x Mn y Co z O 2 (a+x+y+z=2, 0.9≤a≤1.1, 0≤x, 0≤y, 0≤z) as a positive electrode active material, and wherein the nonaqueous electrolyte includes (i) fluorinated cyclic carbonate expressed by Chemical Formula 1 below, (ii) propionate-based ester expressed by Chemical Formula 2 below, and (iii) non-halogenated carbonate, so that a mixture weight ratio (i:ii) thereof is 20:80 to 50:50: wherein, in Chemical Formula 1, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are independently any one of F, H and methyl group, and at least one thereof is F, wherein, in Chemical Formula 2, R 5 is alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbons.

Claims (17)

1. A lithium secondary battery, including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator and a nonaqueous electrolyte,

wherein the positive electrode includes

Li a Ni x Mn y Co z O 2 (a+x+y+z=2, 0.9≤a≤1.1, 0≤x, 0≤y, 0≤z), and

LiCoO 2,

wherein a content of the Li a Ni x Mn y Co z O 2 is 50 wt % to 100 wt % in comparison to the entire weight of the positive electrode active material, and

wherein the nonaqueous electrolyte includes (i) fluorinated cyclic carbonate expressed by Chemical Formula 1 below, (ii) propionate-based ester expressed by Chemical Formula 2 below, and (iii) non-halogenated carbonate, so that a mixture weight ratio (i:ii) thereof is 20:80 to 50:5, and

a content of the non-halogenated carbonate is 10 wt % or below in comparison to the entire weight of the nonaqueous electrolyte,

wherein, in Chemical Formula 1, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 are independently any one of F, H and methyl group, and at least one thereof is F,

wherein, in Chemical Formula 2, R 5 is alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbons.

2. The lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 ,

wherein the propionate-based ester expressed by Chemical Formula 2 is at least one of methyl propionate, ethyl propionate and propyl propionate.

3. The lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 ,

wherein the positive electrode has a loading amount of 0.01 g/cm 2 to 0.03 g/cm 2.

4. The lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 ,

wherein the non-halogenated carbonate is any one compound selected from the group consisting of propylene carbonate (PC), ethylene carbonate (EC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), dipropyl carbonate (DPC), butylene carbonate, methylpropyl carbonate, ethylpropyl carbonate, ethylmethyl carbonate (EMC), and mixtures thereof.

5. The lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 ,
