Abstract

The present disclosure provides a non-aqueous liquid electrolyte comprising a non-aqueous organic solvent, a lithium salt, and an additive that is an isocyanate-based compound comprising a carbon-carbon triple bond. By comprising the isocyanate-based compound additive comprising a carbon-carbon triple bond of the present disclosure in the non-aqueous liquid electrolyte, lifespan properties and high temperature durability are capable of being enhanced, and internal resistance of a battery is capable of being reduced.
