Abstract

Disclosed are an electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery and a lithium secondary battery comprising the same. The electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery, according to an embodiment, can comprise: a nonaqueous organic solvent; a lithium salt; a first additive comprising a compound represented by a specific chemical formula; and a second additive including at least one of lithium difluorophosphate (LiPO 2 F 2 ), a cyclic carbonate including a fluorine atom, and a dinitrile compound.

Claims (28)

1. An electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery comprising

a non-aqueous organic solvent;

a lithium salt;

a first additive including compound represented by Chemical Formula 1; and

a second additive comprising at least one of lithium difluorophosphate (LiPO 2 F 2 ), a cyclic carbonate including a fluorine atom, and a dinitrile compound,

wherein, in Chemical Formula 1, A is a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic chain or (—C 2 H 4 —O—C 2 H 4 —)n and n is an integer of 1 to 10.

2. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein in Chemical Formula 1, A is a C2 to C20 hydrocarbon chain or (—C 2 H 4 —O—C 2 H 4 —)n and n is an integer of 1 to 5.

3. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 is a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1-1:

4. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the cyclic carbonate including the fluorine atom is fluorinated ethylene carbonate (FEC).

5. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the dinitrile compound is succinonitrile.

6. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein an amount of the first additive is 0.1 wt % to 2 wt % based on a total amount of the electrolyte for the lithium secondary battery.

7. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein an amount of the second additive is 0.1 wt % to 20 wt % based on a total amount of the electrolyte for the lithium secondary battery.

8. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein an amount of the lithium difluorophosphate (LiPO 2 F 2 ) is 0.1 wt % to 2 wt % based on a total amount of the electrolyte for the lithium secondary battery.

9. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein an amount of the cyclic carbonate including the fluorine atom is 0.1 wt % to 20 wt % based on a total amount of the electrolyte for the lithium secondary battery.

10. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein an amount of the dinitrile compound is 0.1 wt % to 5 wt % based on a total amount of the electrolyte for the lithium secondary battery.

11. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein an amount ratio of the first additive and the second additive, in a weight ratio, ranges from 0.1:1 to 1:1.

12. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte for the lithium secondary battery further comprises a third additive comprising a sultone compound.

13. The electrolyte of claim 12 , wherein the sultone compound is represented by Chemical Formula 2:

wherein, in Chemical Formula 2,

X is a single bond, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C10 alkylene group, or a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C10 alkenediyl, and

R 1 to R 4 are independently selected from a hydrogen atom, a C1 to C10 alkyl group, a C3 to C30 cycloalkyl group, a C1 to C10 alkoxy group, a halogen, a C1 to C10 haloalkyl group, C6 to C30 aryl group, and a combination thereof.

14. The electrolyte of claim 12 , wherein the sultone compound comprises propane sultone (PS) or 1-propene 1,3-sultone (PST).

15. The electrolyte of claim 12 , wherein an amount of the third additive is 0.1 wt % to 5 wt % based on a total amount of the electrolyte for the lithium secondary battery.

16. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte for the lithium secondary battery further comprises at least one auxiliary additive of vinylethylene carbonate (VC), lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF 4 ), and hexane tricyanide (HTCN).

17. A lithium secondary battery, comprising

a negative electrode;

a positive electrode; and

the electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 .
