Background
[7]
As technology development and demand for mobile devices and electric vehicles increase, the demand for secondary batteries as an energy source is rapidly increasing, and among secondary batteries, they exhibit high energy density and operating potential, have a long cycle life, and have a low self-discharge rate. Lithium secondary batteries have been commercialized and widely used.
[8]
A lithium secondary battery is generally composed of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte. The lithium secondary battery includes a LiLB (lithium ion liquid battery) using a liquid electrolyte, a lithium ion polymer battery (LiPB) using a gel polymer electrolyte, and an LPB using a solid polymer electrolyte according to the type of electrolyte used. lithium polymer battery).
[9]
Recently, as the application range of lithium secondary batteries has been expanded, there is a growing demand for lithium secondary batteries that can be safely charged even at high voltage while maintaining excellent cycle life characteristics even in harsh environments such as high temperature or low temperature environments, and high voltage charging. Meanwhile, in the case of a lithium secondary battery using a liquid electrolyte, when stored at a high temperature for a long time, an oxidation reaction of the electrolyte occurs on the surfaces of both electrodes, and gas is generated, thereby deforming the structure of the battery.
[10]
In order to solve the above problems, a method of suppressing the oxidation reaction of the electrolyte by adding a material capable of uniformly forming a film on the surface of both electrodes to the electrolyte has been proposed. There is a need to develop an electrolyte.

[49]
Lithium secondary batteries using a liquid electrolyte have problems such as deformed battery structure due to an electrolyte oxidation reaction occurring on the surface of an electrode when stored at a high temperature for a long time. Accordingly, in order to solve this problem, research on a method of adding a material capable of forming a film on the surface of both electrodes or a material capable of suppressing an oxidation reaction to the electrolyte is being continued.
[50]
In general, during an initial charging process of a secondary battery, a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film is formed on the surfaces of a positive electrode and a negative electrode due to an electrolyte decomposition reaction. The SEI film has a property of passing lithium ions and blocking the movement of electrons, and serves as a protective film to prevent the electrolyte from continuously decomposing. However, the SEI film does not maintain its lasting performance, especially under high temperature conditions and may be destroyed. Thereafter, the electrolyte decomposition reaction cannot be suppressed by the SEI film during the subsequent charging and discharging process, and charges are irreversibly consumed, thereby reducing the reversible capacity of the battery, thereby deteriorating the performance of the battery.
[51]
Therefore, in recent years, research on a method of using two or more different additives together to easily form an SEI film on the surface of both electrodes and suppress the electrolyte decomposition reaction is actively being conducted.
[52]
For example, when a compound containing a sulfur atom (S), which is one of the hetero atoms, is used as an additive, it is possible to form an SEI film on the surface of the anode, as well as salt anion by the unshared electron pair of the sulfur atom. By stabilizing it, the electrolyte solution decomposition reaction can be suppressed. At this time, if a compound containing phosphorus atom (P) is used together as an additive, a film is formed on the surface of the negative electrode as well, and the oxidation reaction of the electrolyte can be suppressed.
[53]
However, two or more additives in which different hetero atoms are substituted have different electrochemical decomposition potentials for forming the SEI film. In this case, the SEI film may be formed on the surface of both electrodes, but the compounds contained in each additive included in the electrolyte may not be uniformly distributed in the film, and a non-uniform SEI film may be formed on the surfaces of both electrodes. In addition, even if a film is formed on the surfaces of both electrodes, since the SEI film is unstable and it is difficult to effectively suppress the decomposition reaction of the electrolyte, the high temperature storage performance of the battery may be deteriorated.
[54]
Accordingly, the inventors of the present invention invented to use a compound including all functional groups substituted with two different heteroatoms in one compound as an additive in order to solve the above problems. Specifically, the present inventors devised to use a compound containing both a functional group substituted with a phosphorus atom (P) and a functional group substituted with a sulfur atom (S) as an additive. When all functional groups substituted with different heteroatoms are included in one compound, an SEI film can be formed on the surface of both electrodes, and a functional group substituted with a phosphorus atom (P) and a sulfur atom (S) in the formed SEI film Since the compounds having the substituted functional group can be uniformly distributed, the oxidation reaction of the electrolyte can be effectively suppressed.
[55]
More specifically, the compound represented by Formula 1 may include at least one compound selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by the following Formulas 1-1 to 1-4.
[56]
[Formula 1-1]
[57]
[58]
[Formula 1-2]
[59]
[60]
[Formula 1-3]
[61]
[62]
[Formula 1-4]
[63]
[64]
[65]
In particular, among the compounds represented by Formula 1, the compounds represented by Formulas 1-1 to 1-3 are substituted with a fluorine atom, which is a halogen, so that a film can be formed well on the surface of the electrode, and the conductivity of the formed film is also increased. I can. In addition, inorganic components such as lithium fluoride (LiF) are increased in the formed film, so that the film can be stably formed.
[66]
[67]
In addition, the compound represented by Formula 2 may include at least one compound selected from the group consisting of compounds represented by Formulas 2-1 and 2-2 below.
[68]
[Formula 2-1]
[69]
[70]
[Formula 2-2]
[71]
[72]
On the other hand, the compounds represented by Formula 2 further contain a carbon-carbon double bond capable of forming a film on the surface of the negative electrode, so that the SEI film formation effect is excellent.

When the content of the additive is included within the above range, the SEI film can be stably maintained on both electrodes, the decomposition reaction of the electrolyte can be suppressed, and the solubility in the non-aqueous electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery is maintained above a certain level and does not react. It is possible to prevent the resistance from increasing by residual additives.

However, it is not limited thereto.
[85]
In the present invention, ethylene carbonate and ethylmethyl carbonate may be preferably mixed and used, and the mixing ratio may be 10:90 to 40:60, more preferably 20:80 to 40:60. When the compound is mixed and used as an organic solvent as described above, a non-aqueous electrolyte having an appropriate ionic conductivity can be provided, so that the mobility of lithium ions in the battery can be improved, and the safety of the battery can be improved.
[86]
