Abstract

Provided is an electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery including an organic solvent, a lithium salt, an additive including at least one of isothiocyanate-based compounds represented by Chemical Formula 1 or Chemical Formula 2, and an auxiliary additive including at least one of a fluorine-containing carbonate-based compound, a lithium phosphate-based compound, a sultone-based compound, or a sulfate-based compound. A lithium secondary including the electrolyte solution is also provided.

Claims (19)

1 . An electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery, comprising:

an organic solvent;

a lithium salt;

an additive comprising allyl isothiocyanate and ethyl isothiocyanate; and

an auxiliary additive comprising a fluorine-containing carbonate-based compound, a lithium phosphate-based compound, a sultone-based compound and a sulfate-based compound,

wherein a weight ratio of the auxiliary additive relative to the additive in the electrolyte solution is from 1.75 to 5.

2 . The electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the fluorine-containing carbonate-based compound has a ring structure.

3 . The electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the lithium phosphate-based compound comprises a fluorine-containing lithium phosphate-based compound.

4 . The electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the sultone-based compound comprises an alkyl sultone-based compound and an alkenyl sultone-based compound.

5 . The electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the fluorine-containing carbonate-based compound comprises fluoroethylene carbonate,

the lithium phosphate-based compound comprises lithium difluorophosphate,

the sultone-based compound comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of 1,3-propane sultone, 1,4-butane sultone, ethene sultone, 1,3-propene sultone, 1,4-butene sultone and 1-methyl-1,3-propene sultone, and

the sulfate-based compound comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of ethylene sulfate, trimethylene sulfate and methyltrimethylene sulfate.

6 . The electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the additive is comprised in an amount from 0.5 wt % to 2 wt % based on a total weight of the electrolyte solution.

7 . The electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary additive is comprised in an amount from 1 wt % to 5 wt % based on a total weight of the electrolyte.

8 . The electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein a weight ratio of the auxiliary additive relative to the additive in the electrolyte solution is from 2 to 4.

9 . A lithium secondary battery comprising:

an electrode assembly comprising an anode and a cathode facing the anode,

wherein the electrode assembly is impregnated with the electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 .
