Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an electrolytic solution for a secondary battery and a lithium secondary battery employing the same. The electrolytic solution for a secondary battery of the present disclosure contains two or more bis(sulfonyl)imide lithium salts as additives, such that a lithium secondary battery employing a high content of nickel for a cathode has significantly improved quick charge characteristics, room temperature lifespan characteristics, and low-temperature characteristics.

Claims (42)

1 . An electrolytic solution for a secondary battery, comprising:

a lithium salt;

a non-aqueous organic solvent; and

a mixture of two or more bis(sulfonyl)imide lithium salts represented by the following Chemical Formula 1 as an additive:

wherein

R 1 and R 2 are each independently fluoro or fluoro C1-C10 alkyl; and

R 1 and R 2 may be linked to each other by fluoro C2-C10 alkylene to form a ring.

2 . The electrolytic solution of claim 1 , wherein

Chemical Formula 1 is a bis(sulfonyl)imide lithium salt represented by the following Chemical Formula 2 or 3:

wherein

A is —(CR 15 R 16 ) n —;

R 11 to R 16 are each independently fluoro or perfluoro C1-C5 alkyl; and

n is an integer of 0 to 3.

3 . The electrolytic solution of claim 1 , wherein

the bis(sulfonyl)imide lithium salt represented by Chemical Formula 1 is selected from the following compounds:

4 . The electrolytic solution of claim 1 , wherein

the additive is present at a concentration of 0.1 to 0.5 M.
