Abstract

The present invention relates to an electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery that includes an additive for forming a stable SEI film and a protective layer on a surface of an electrode to prevent a chemical reaction between the electrolyte solution and the electrode, and a lithium secondary battery having improved life characteristics and high-temperature stability by including the same.

Claims (16)

1. An electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery comprising an electrolyte salt and an organic solvent,

wherein the electrolyte solution further includes a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 below as an additive:

wherein R is a linear or branched alkylene group with a carbon number of 1 to 3,

R 1 is a linear or branched alkylene group with a carbon number of 1 to 5 or arylene group with a carbon number of 5 to 8, and

when R 1 is a linear or branched alkylene group with a carbon number of 1 to 5, n is an integer of 1 to 10, and when R 1 is an arylene group with a carbon number of 5 to 8, n is an integer of 0 to 10.

2. The electrolyte solution of claim 1 , wherein, in Chemical Formula 1, R is a linear alkylene group with a carbon number of 1 to 3, R 1 is an arylene group with a carbon number of 5 to 8, and n is an integer of 0 to 5.

3. The electrolyte solution of claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 includes a compound of Chemical Formula 1a below or a compound of Chemical Formula 1b below.

4. The electrolyte solution of claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 is included in an amount of 0.05 wt % to 7 wt % based on a total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte solution.

5. The electrolyte solution of claim 4 , wherein the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 is included in an amount of 0.1 wt % to 5 wt % based on a total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte solution.

6. The electrolyte solution of claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte salt consists of a combination of (i) at least one positive ion selected from the group consisting of Li + , Na + , and K + and (ii) at least one negative ion selected from the group consisting of PF 6 − , BF 4 − , Cl − , Br − , I − , ClO 4 − , AsF 6 − , B 10 Cl 10 − , CH 3 CO 2 − , CF 3 SO 3 − , CF 3 SO 3 − , SbF 6 − , AlCl 4 − , AlO 4 − , CH 3 SO 3 − , N(CF 3 SO 2 ) 2 − and C(CF 2 SO 2 ) 3 − .
