technical field

background
[6]
As personal IT devices and computer networks are developed due to the development of the information society, and the overall society's dependence on electric energy increases accordingly, technology development for efficiently storing and utilizing electric energy is required.
[7]
The secondary battery-based technology is the most suitable technology for various uses, and can be applied to personal IT devices because it can be miniaturized, and can also be applied to large devices such as power storage devices.
[8]
Among secondary battery technologies, a lithium ion battery, which is a battery system with the highest theoretical energy density, is in the spotlight.
[9]
Lithium ion batteries are largely composed of a positive electrode composed of a transition metal oxide containing lithium, a negative electrode capable of storing lithium, an electrolyte as a medium for transferring lithium ions, and a separator. As it is known as a component that has a great influence on stability and safety, many studies are being conducted on it.
[10]
On the other hand, during the activation process of the battery, the electrolyte causes a reductive decomposition reaction on the anode interface, and the reductive decomposition product forms a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film on the electrode interface that transmits lithium ions but inhibits further decomposition of the electrolyte. .
[11]
However, under high temperature conditions, the by-product generated by the decomposition reaction of the salt contained in the electrolyte is activated and then the SEI film formed on the surface of the anode and the cathode is decomposed again, thereby lowering the passivation ability of the SEI film, thereby further decomposing the electrolyte and thus There is a problem of causing concomitant self-discharge.
[12]
Accordingly, there is an urgent need to study an electrolyte capable of forming a strong SEI film without being damaged even by a side reaction by a decomposition product of a salt under a high temperature condition.

[45]
[46]
Hereinafter, each component of the electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery of the present invention will be described in more detail.
[47]
(1) lithium salt
[48]
First, the lithium salt will be described.
[49]
The lithium salt is used as a medium for transferring ions in the lithium secondary battery. Typically, the lithium salt is 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 , LiC 4 BO 8 , LiTFSI, LiFSI and LiClO 4It may include at least one compound selected from the group consisting of.
[50]
In this case, the lithium salt is preferably contained in the electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery at a concentration of 0.1M to 3M, preferably 0.8M to 2.5M, more preferably, 1M to 1.5M. When the lithium salt is included in the above range, while minimizing by-products generated by dissolution in the electrolyte, when the battery is driven under high voltage, the SEI (Solid Electrolyte Interphase, SEI) film formed on the electrode interface is prevented from decomposing, thereby preventing the battery It can prevent my resistance from rising.
[51]
[52]
(2) organic solvents
[53]
Next, the organic solvent will be described.

[57]
In particular, among the carbonate-based electrolyte solvents, propylene carbonate and ethylene carbonate, which are cyclic carbonates, are highly viscous organic solvents and have a high dielectric constant, so they can be used preferably because they dissociate lithium salts in the electrolyte well. Alternatively, when a low-viscosity, low-dielectric constant linear carbonate such as dimethyl carbonate is mixed in an appropriate ratio, an electrolyte having high electrical conductivity can be prepared, and thus it can be used more preferably.
