Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery, and in particular, to a liquid electrolyte capable of stabilizing lithium metal and suppressing lithium dendrite growth, and a lithium secondary battery including the same. The lithium secondary battery provided with the electrolyte according to the present disclosure has an excellent cycle-dependent capacity retention rate, and accordingly, is effective in improving a battery lifespan property.

Claims (13)

1. A lithium secondary battery comprising:

a positive electrode including a positive electrode active material;

a negative electrode including lithium metal;

a separator; and

an electrolyte,

wherein the electrolyte comprises,

a solvent consisting of an ether-based solvent;

1.0 M of LiFSI; and

1 wt % of LiNO 3 based on the total amount of the liquid electrolyte;

wherein the ether-based solvent is a mixed solvent in which 1,3-dioxolane (DOL) and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) are mixed in a volume ratio of 1:1;

wherein a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) membrane including LiF is formed on a surface of the negative electrode by charging and discharging the battery 2 times to 7 times to a voltage of 0.1 V to 3 V (vs. Li/Li+), and

wherein the SEI membrane includes the LiF in 3.0% by weight or greater with respect to a total weight of the SEI membrane.

2. The lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the positive electrode active material is one or more types selected from the group consisting of lithium cobalt-based oxides, lithium manganese-based oxides, lithium copper oxide, lithium nickel-based oxides, lithium manganese composite oxide, lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt-based oxides, elemental sulfur and sulfur-based compounds.
