Abstract

Provided is an electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery, the electrolyte including a non-aqueous organic solvent, a lithium salt, and an additive, wherein the additive includes a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1. The definitions of each of the substituents in Chemical Formula 1 are as set forth in the detailed description.

Claims (39)

1. An electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery, comprising

a non-aqueous organic solvent;

a lithium salt; and

an additive represented by Chemical Formula 1:

wherein, in Chemical Formula 1,

X 1 and X 2 are each independently O, S, CR a R b , or NR c ,

provided that at least one of X 1 and X 2 is O or S,

L 1 is a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C10 alkylene group or a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C10 alkenylene group,

R 1 to R 4 are each independently hydrogen, a C1 to C10 alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C10 alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C10 alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C10 cycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C10 cycloalkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C20 an aryl group, or a combination thereof, and

n is an integer of any one of 1 to 3.

2. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein

the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 is represented by Chemical Formula 1A:

wherein, in Chemical Formula 1A,

the definitions of X 1 , X 2 , L 1 , and R 1 to R 4 are the same as in claim 1 .

3. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein

the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 is represented by any one of Chemical Formula 1-1 to Chemical Formula 1-3:

wherein, in Chemical Formula 1-1 to Chemical Formula 1-3,

the definitions of L 1 , R 1 to R 4 , and n are the same as in claim 1 .

4. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein

R 1 to R 4 are each independently hydrogen, a C1 to C6 alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C6 alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C6 alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C6 cycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C6 cycloalkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C10 an aryl group, or a combination thereof.

5. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein

L 1 is a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C6 alkylene group.

6. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein

the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 is represented by any one of Chemical Formula 1-a to Chemical Formula 1-r:

7. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein

the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 is included in an amount of 0.1 wt % to 10 wt % based on the total amount of the electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery.

8. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein

the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 is included in an amount of 0.1 wt % to 3.0 wt % based on the total amount of the electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery.

9. A lithium secondary battery, comprising

a positive electrode including a positive active material;

a negative electrode including an anode active material; and

the electrolyte of claim 1 .

10. The lithium secondary battery of claim 9 , wherein

the positive active material includes at least one of a composite oxide of lithium and a metal selected from cobalt, manganese, nickel, and a combination thereof.

11. The lithium secondary battery of claim 9 , wherein

the positive active material is represented by Chemical Formula 2:

Li a Ni x1 CO y1 M z1 O 2   [Chemical Formula 2]

wherein, in Chemical Formula 2,

0.9≤a≤1.8, 0.5<x1≤1, 0<y1≤0.5, 0<z1≤0.5, x1+y1+z1=1, and M is Ni, Co, Mn, Al, Ti, Mg, Zr, Ca, Nb, Fe, P, F, B, or a combination thereof.
