Abstract

A non-aqueous electrolyte and a lithium secondary battery including the same are provided. The non-aqueous electrolyte includes a non-aqueous organic solvent, a lithium salt, an additive represented by Chemical Formula 1 or Chemical Formula 2, and an auxiliary additive including a carbonate-based compound. A content of the additive relative to a weight of the carbonate-based compound is in a range from 10 wt % to 50 wt %. Capacity properties at low temperature and lifespan properties at high temperature may be improved.

Claims (21)

1 . A non-aqueous electrolyte, comprising:

a non-aqueous organic solvent;

a lithium salt;

an additive represented by Chemical Formula 1 or Chemical Formula 2; and

an auxiliary additive comprising a carbonate-based compound,

wherein a content of the additive relative to a weight of the carbonate-based compound is in a range from 10 wt % to 50 wt %:

wherein, in Chemical Formulae 1 and 2, R 1 to R 4 are each independently a hydrocarbon containing a substituted or unsubstituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted C 6 -C 12 aryl group, and A 1 to A 3 are each independently hydrogen or a hydroxyl group.

2 . The non-aqueous electrolyte according to claim 1 , wherein the additive is represented by Chemical Formula 3:

wherein, in Chemical Formula 3, A 1 to A 5 are each independently hydrogen or a hydroxyl group.

3 . The non-aqueous electrolyte according to claim 1 , wherein the additive is represented by Chemical Formula 4:

wherein, in Chemical Formula 4, R 4 is a hydrocarbon containing a substituted or unsubstituted C 1 -C 6 alkyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted C 6 -C 12 aryl group.

4 . The non-aqueous electrolyte according to claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary additive further comprises a sultone-based compound including an alkyl sultone-based compound and an alkenyl sultone-based compound.

5 . The non-aqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 4 , wherein a content of the additive relative to a weight of the alkyl sultone-based compound is in a range from 20 wt % to 100 wt %.

6 . The non-aqueous electrolyte according to claim 4 , wherein a content of the additive relative to a weight of the alkenyl sultone-based compound is in a range from 20 wt % to 170 wt %.

7 . The non-aqueous electrolyte according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the additive relative to a total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte is in a range from 0.1 wt % to 0.5 wt %.

8 . The non-aqueous electrolyte according to claim 1 , wherein the non-aqueous organic solvent includes at least one of ethylene carbonate (EC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC).

9 . The non-aqueous electrolyte according to claim 1 , wherein the lithium salt includes at least one of lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF 4 ), lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF 6 ) and lithium difluorophosphate (LiPO 2 F 2 ).

10 . A lithium secondary battery, comprising:

a cathode;

an anode facing the cathode; and

the non-aqueous electrolyte of claim 1 .
