Abstract

An electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery according to embodiments of the present invention includes an organic solvent, a lithium salt, and an additive including a cyclic ether-sulfate-based compound. Thereby, cycle characteristics and high-temperature stability of the lithium secondary battery may be improved.

Claims (18)

1. An electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery comprising:

an organic solvent;

a lithium salt; and

an additive including a cyclic ether-sulfate-based compound,

wherein the cyclic ether-sulfate-based compound includes an ether group and a sulfate group which form a single ring structure.

2. The electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the cyclic ether-sulfate-based compound includes a cyclic sulfate-based compound containing an ether group in a ring.

3. The electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the cyclic ether-sulfate-based compound is represented by Formula 1 below:

in Formula 1, R 1 and R 2 are each independently an alkanediyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and n is an integer of 1 to 8.

4. The electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the cyclic ether-sulfate-based compound includes an ethyleneoxy group.

5. The electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the cyclic ether-sulfate-based compound includes three or more ether groups.

6. The electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the cyclic ether-sulfate-based compound is included in an amount of 0.1 to 15% by weight based on a total weight of the electrolyte.

7. The electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the additive further includes a cyclic sulfonate-based compound.

8. The electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the organic solvent includes at least one of ethylene carbonate (EC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), or diethyl carbonate (DEC).

9. A lithium secondary battery comprising:

a cathode;

an anode;

a separator interposed between the cathode and the anode; and

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