Abstract

A non-aqueous electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery includes a lithium salt and an organic solvent and further includes a solvent having a fluoro group and a specific siloxane compound. A lithium secondary battery having the above non-aqueous electrolyte solution exhibits greatly improved capacity recovery characteristics after high temperature storage and also reduces side effects such as swelling.

Claims (15)

1. A non-aqueous electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery, which includes a lithium salt and an organic solvent, wherein the lithium salt is any one selected from the group consisting of LiPF 6 , LiBF 4 , LiSbF 6 , LiAsF 6 , LiClO 4 , LiN(C 2 F 5 SO 2 ) 2 , LiN(CF 3 SO 2 ) 2 , CF 3 SO 3 Li, LiC(CF 3 SO 2 ) 3 and LiC 4 BO 8 , or their mixtures, wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte solution further includes a solvent having a fluorinated compound and a siloxane compound in the content of 0.5 to 20 weight % and 0.03 to 7 weight %, respectively, based on the entire weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte solution, and wherein the siloxane compound is 1,3-divinyltetramethyldisiloxane and 1,3-dimethyltetravinylsiloxane.

2. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 ,

wherein the solvent having a fluoro group is any one selected from compounds expressed by the following Chemistry Figures 2 to 5, or their mixtures:

where n is an integer of 1 to 4,

where R1 and R2 are independently hydrocarbon group having 1 to 3 carbons, and at least one of R1 and R2 includes 1 to 7 fluorines,

where R1 and R2 are independently hydrocarbon group having 1 to 3 carbons, and at least one of R1 and R2 includes 1 to 7 fluorines, and

where R1 and R2 are independently hydrocarbon group having 1 to 3 carbons, and at least one of R1 and R2 includes 1 to 7 fluorines.

3. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 2 ,

wherein the solvent having a fluoro group is fluoroethylene carbonate.

4. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 ,

wherein the organic solvent is any one selected from the group consisting of a cyclic carbonate selected from the group consisting of propylene carbonate, ethylene carbonate and vinylene carbonate, or their mixtures, a linear carbonate selected from the group consisting of diethyl carbonate, dimethyl carbonate, methylethyl carbonate and dipropyl carbonate, or their mixtures, dimethyl sulfoxide, acetonitrile, dimethoxyethane, diethoxyethane, sulforan, gamma-butyrolactone, ethylene sulfite, propylene sulfite, tetrahydrofuran, ethyl propionate and propyl propionate, or their mixtures.

5. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution for a lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 ,

wherein the organic solvent is ethylene carbonate or a mixture of ethylene carbonate and propylene carbonate.

6. A lithium secondary battery, which includes an anode, a cathode and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution,

wherein the non-aqueous electrolyte solution is a non-aqueous electrolyte solution defined in claim 1 .
