Abstract

Provided are a non-aqueous electrolyte solution, which includes (i) a first lithium salt, (ii) lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide as a second lithium salt, (iii) a phosphazene-based compound as a first additive, and (iv) a non-aqueous organic solvent, and a lithium secondary battery including the non-aqueous electrolyte solution. With respect to a lithium secondary battery including the non-aqueous electrolyte solution of the present invention, since a robust solid electrolyte interface (SEI) may be formed on the surface of a negative electrode during initial charge and flame retardancy in a high-temperature environment may be provided to prevent the decomposition of the surface of a positive electrode and an oxidation reaction of the electrolyte solution, output characteristics and capacity characteristics after high-temperature storage as well as output characteristics may be improved.

Claims (21)

1. A non-aqueous electrolyte solution comprising:

(i) a first lithium salt;

(ii) lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide as a second lithium salt;

(iii) a phosphazene-based compound as a first additive; and

(iv) a non-aqueous organic solvent,

wherein the first 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 , Li 3 O 3 CF 3 , LiClO 4 , and a mixture of two or more thereof, and

a mixing ratio of the first lithium salt to the lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide, as the second lithium salt, is in a range of 1:6 to 1:9 as a molar ratio;

wherein the phosphazene-based compound comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by Formula 1 and Formula 2,

2. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution of claim 1 , wherein the lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide, as the second lithium salt, is included in a concentration of 0.1 mole/l to 2 mole/l based on a total amount of the non-aqueous electrolyte solution.

3. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution of claim 1 , wherein the phosphazene-based compound is included in an amount of 0.1 wt % to 15 wt % based on a total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte solution.

4. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution of claim 1 , further comprising any one selected from the group consisting of LiBF 4 , lithium oxalyldifluoroborate, ethylene sulfate, and a mixture of two or more thereof, as a second additive.

5. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution of claim 4 , wherein the second additive is included in an amount of 0.1 wt % to 10 wt % based on a total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte solution.

6. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution of claim 1 , wherein the non-aqueous organic solvent comprises any one selected from the group consisting of a nitrile-based solvent, linear carbonate, cyclic carbonate, ester, ether, ketone, and a mixture of two or more thereof.

7. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution of claim 6 , wherein the cyclic carbonate comprises one selected from the group consisting of ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), butylene carbonate (BC), and a mixture of two or more thereof, and

the linear carbonate comprises any one selected from the group consisting of 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.
