Abstract

Disclosed is a nonaqueous electrolyte solution containing a sultone compound represented by the Formula 1 below (wherein R 1 to R 4 respectively represent a hydrogen, a fluorine, a hydrocarbon group with 1 to 12 carbon atoms that may contain fluorine atom(s), n represents an integer of 0 to 3, and when n is 2 or 3, the two or three R 3 groups are independent from each other and the two or three R 4 groups are independent from each other), and an ethylene carbonate having a hydrogen atom substituted by a fluorine atom. Also disclosed is a lithium secondary battery employing the nonaqueous electrolyte solution. This nonaqueous electrolyte solution does not cause an increase in the internal resistance of a nonaqueous electrochemical device and improves the lifespan characteristics of the device. The lithium secondary battery containing the nonaqueous electrolyte solution exhibits greatly improved cycle charge/discharge characteristics at high temperature, and has excellent charge/discharge load characteristics.

Claims (7)

1. A nonaqueous electrolyte solution comprising a nonaqueous solvent, an electrolyte, a sultone compound represented by the Formula 1 below at 0.1% by weight to 3% by weight, an ethylene carbonate having a hydrogen atom substituted by a fluorine atom at 0.1% by weight to 5% by weight, and a cyclic carbonate having a carbon-carbon unsaturated bond at 0.01 to 1 weight %,

wherein, in Formula 1: R 1 to R 4 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, a fluorine atom, or a hydrocarbon group with 1 to 12 carbon atoms that may contain fluorine atom(s); n represents an integer of 0 to 3; and when n is 2 or 3, the two or three R 3 groups are independent from each other and two or three R 4 groups are independent from each other.

2. The nonaqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the sultone compound is 1,3-prop-1-ene sultone and/or methyl-1,3-prop-1-ene sultone.

3. The nonaqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the ethylene carbonate having a hydrogen atom substituted by a fluorine atom is 4-fluoroethylene carbonate and/or 4,5-difluoroethylene carbonate.

4. The nonaqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , further comprising a silyl phosphate at 0.01 to 2 weight %.

5. The nonaqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte is a lithium salt.

6. A lithium secondary battery comprising the nonaqueous electrolyte solution according to claim 1 .
