Abstract

The present invention relates to a non-aqueous electrolyte for lithium secondary battery, and more particularly, to a non-aqueous electrolyte including a lithium salt having a concentration of 4.1 M or more, an organic solvent, and a surfactant.

Claims (28)

1. A non-aqueous electrolyte comprising:

a lithium salt having a concentration of 4.1 M or more;

an organic solvent; and

a surfactant, wherein the surfactant is a fluorine-based surfactant represented by Formula 1 below:

in Formula 1,

B is Li, CF 3 , or CF 2 CF 3 ;

R 1 and R 2 each are independently fluorine-substituted alkylene groups having 1 to 5 carbon atoms;

R 3 is an acrylate group or

R 4 is an acrylate group; and

m is 1 to 100.

2. The non-aqueous electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the lithium salt is 4.1 M to 6 M.

3. The non-aqueous electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the lithium salt comprises any one or more selected from the group consisting of lithium bis fluoro sulfonyl imide, lithium bis trifluoro methane sulfonyl imide, and lithium hexafluoro phosphate, or a mixture of two or more thereof.

4. The non-aqueous electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the organic solvent comprises a nitrile-based solvent, an ester, an ether, a carbonate, or a combination thereof.

5. The non-aqueous electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the surfactant further comprises:

a hydrocarbon surfactant;

a silicone-based surfactant;

a surfactant comprising a functional group in which a hydrophobic part having hydrophobicity has aromaticity; and

a surfactant in which hydrophobic parts are respectively connected to both ends of a hydrophilic part having hydrophilicity.

6. The non-aqueous electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the surfactant is added in an amount of 0.5 wt % to 10 wt % based on the total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte.

7. The non-aqueous electrolyte of claim 1 further comprising an additive.

8. The non-aqueous electrolyte of claim 7 , wherein the additive comprises vinylene carbonate, oxalyldifluoroborate, vinyl ethylene carbonate, succinic anhydride, succino nitrile, 1,3-propane sultone, or a combination thereof.

9. The non-aqueous electrolyte of claim 7 , wherein the additive is added in an amount of 0.1 wt % to 10 wt % based on the total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte.

10. The non-aqueous electrolyte of claim 1 , further comprising a matrix polymer and ceramic powder.

11. A lithium secondary battery comprising:

a positive electrode;

a negative electrode;

a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode; and

the non-aqueous electrolyte of claim 1 .
