Technical field
[5]
The present invention relates to a non-aqueous electrolyte having improved high and low temperature stability, and a lithium secondary battery having improved high temperature storage characteristics, low temperature output characteristics, and cycle life characteristics by including the same.
Background
[6]
As technology development and demand for mobile devices increase, the demand for secondary batteries as an energy source is rapidly increasing, and among these secondary batteries, lithium secondary batteries having high energy density and voltage are commercialized and widely used.
[7]
In a lithium secondary battery, an electrode active material is applied to a current collector with an appropriate thickness, or the electrode active material itself is formed in a film shape of an appropriate length, and then wound or stacked together with a separator as an insulator to manufacture an electrode assembly, and the can or It is prepared by storing in a similar container and then injecting an electrolyte.
[8]
In such a lithium secondary battery, charging and discharging are performed while repeating a process in which lithium ions are intercalated and deintercalated from the lithium metal oxide of the positive electrode to the graphite electrode of the negative electrode. At this time, since lithium is highly reactive, it reacts with the carbon electrode to generate Li 2 CO 3 , LiO, LiOH, etc. to form a film on the surface of the negative electrode.
[9]
This film is called a solid electrolyte (SEI) film, and the SEI film formed at the beginning of charging prevents the reaction between lithium ions and a carbon negative electrode or other materials during charging and discharging. In addition, it serves as an ion tunnel, allowing only lithium ions to pass. The ion tunnel serves to prevent the collapse of the structure of the carbon negative electrode by solvating lithium ions and causing organic solvents of a high molecular weight electrolyte to move together with the carbon negative electrode.
[10]
Therefore, in order to improve the high-temperature storage characteristics and cycle life characteristics of the lithium secondary battery, a solid SEI film must be formed on the negative electrode of the lithium secondary battery. Once the SEI film is formed at the time of initial charge, it prevents the reaction between lithium ions and the negative electrode or other materials when charging and discharging is repeated after using the battery. You will play a role.
[11]
By adjusting the type or amount of non-aqueous organic solvent, electrolyte additive, or lithium salt contained in the conventional electrolyte to the required amount, the surface of the anode is decomposed when stored at high temperature, or the irreversible capacity of the secondary battery is reduced by continuous reaction between the cathode and the electrolyte due to deterioration of the SEI film. There was a problem of increasing and deteriorating output characteristics.
[12]
In order to improve this, an organic solvent including ethylene carbonate (EC), which can improve output characteristics, has been used instead of a propylene carbonate solvent that can cause an irreversible decomposition reaction with a graphite material.
[13]
However, since the ethylene carbonate has a high melting point, the use temperature is limited, it is difficult to maintain high-temperature characteristics, and there is a disadvantage of causing a significant decrease in battery performance at low temperatures.
[14]
Accordingly, there is a need to develop a technology for providing a non-aqueous electrolyte solution having improved high temperature storage characteristics and cycle life characteristics by improving the disadvantages that may occur when ethylene carbonate is used as an organic solvent.

[68]
(1) lithium salt
[69]
A lithium salt The lithium salt used for typical non-aqueous electrolyte solution, the lithium salt in detail the Li cation + a, and the anion include F - , Cl - , Br - , I - , NO 3 - , N (CN ) 2 - , ClO 4 - , BF 4 - , AlO 4 - , AlCl 4 - , PF 6 - , SbF 6 - , AsF 6 - , BF 2 C 2 O 4 -, BC 4 O 8 - , (CF 3 ) 2 PF 4 - , (CF 3 ) 3 PF 3 - , (CF 3 ) 4 PF 2 - , (CF 3 ) 5 PF - , (CF 3 ) 6 P - , CF 3 SO 3 - , C 4 F 9 SO 3 - , CF 3 CF 2 SO 3 - , (CF 3 SO 2 ) 2 N - , (FSO 2 ) 2 N - , CF 3 CF 2 (CF 3 ) 2 CO - , (CF 3 SO 2 ) 2 CH - , (SF 5 ) 3 C - , (CF 3SO 2 ) 3 C - , CF 3 (CF 2 ) 7 SO 3 - , CF 3 CO 2 - , CH 3 CO 2 - , SCN - , and (CF 3 CF 2 SO 2 ) 2 N - one selected from the group consisting of One may be included, and in addition to these, a lithium salt commonly used in an electrolyte solution of a lithium secondary battery may be used without limitation.
[70]
Specifically, the lithium salt is LiCl, LiBr, LiI, LiBF 4 , LiClO 4 , LiB 10 Cl 10 , LiAlCl 4 , LiAlO 4 , LiPF 6 , LiCF 3 SO 3 , LiCH 3 CO 2 , LiCF 3 CO 2 , LiAsF 6 , LiSbF 6 , LiCH 3 SO 3 , LiFSI (Lithium bis(fluorosulfonyl)imide, LiN(SO 2 F) 2), LiBETI (lithium bisperfluoroethanesulfonimide, LiN(SO 2 CF 2 CF 3 ) 2 and LiTFSI (lithium (bis) trifluoromethanesulfonimide, LiN(SO 2 CF 3 ) 2 )), a single substance or a mixture of two or more selected from the group consisting of And, more specifically, LiPF 6 , Li(CF 3 SO 2 ) 2 N, Li(FSO 2 ) 2 N, and Li(CF 3 CF 2 SO 2 ) 2 N To include at least any one or more selected from the group consisting of I can.
[71]
The lithium salt may be appropriately changed within a range that is usually usable, but in order to obtain an optimum effect of forming a film for preventing corrosion on the electrode surface, 1.2M or more, such as 1.2M to 3.3M, specifically 1.5M to 3.3M, more Specifically, it may be 2M to 3.2M.
[72]
In most secondary batteries at present, the reaction heat generated by an electrochemical (ex. overcharge) or chemical (ex. hot box) reaction increases the internal temperature of the battery, and when the temperature reaches a temperature above the ignition point, it is combined with surrounding oxygen. There is a problem that the secondary battery is ignited due to a thermal-runaway phenomenon. Accordingly, it is emerging as a very important factor to lower the calorific value of the electrolyte in order to increase the high temperature safety of the secondary battery.
[73]
In the case of the non-aqueous electrolyte solution of the present invention, it is possible to reduce resistance due to depletion of lithium ions during high rate charging and discharging by including a high-concentration lithium salt of 1.2M or more, particularly 1.5M or more.
[74]
Moreover, in the non-aqueous electrolyte of the present invention, when the concentration of the lithium salt satisfies the above range, high ion transport properties of lithium cations (Li + ) due to an increase in lithium cations present in the non-aqueous electrolyte (i.e., cation transport A transmission number) can be secured, and the effect of improving the cycle capacity characteristics can be achieved by achieving the effect of reducing the diffusion resistance of lithium ions. At this time, when the concentration of the lithium salt is 3.3M or less, specifically 3.2M or less, it is possible to prevent an increase in the viscosity of the electrolyte solution while securing a moving speed of lithium ions. On the other hand, when the maximum concentration of the lithium salt exceeds 3.3M, the viscosity of the non-aqueous electrolyte may be excessively increased, so that the impregnating property of the electrolyte may be reduced.
[75]
[76]
(2) the first organic solvent
[77]
The first organic solvent may include ethylene carbonate, based on the total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte, 0.1% to 12% by weight, specifically 1% to 10% by weight, more specifically 3% to 10% by weight It can be included in %.
[78]
As a solvent having a high dielectric constant of ethylene carbonate, when used in an electrolytic solution, there is an advantage in that the ionic conductivity of the electrolytic solution can be increased and output characteristics can be improved. However, in the case of the ethylene carbonate, since the melting point is high and it is difficult to maintain the properties at high temperature, the use temperature is limited, and oxidation stability and thermal stability are reduced during high temperature storage.
[79]
Accordingly, in the present invention, the first organic solvent, ethylene carbonate, is included in an amount of 12% by weight or less, specifically 10% by weight or less based on the total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte, thereby increasing the ionic conductivity of the non-aqueous electrolyte to secure output characteristics. At the same time, it is possible to secure high-temperature storage characteristics and low-temperature output characteristics of the non-aqueous electrolyte. On the other hand, if the content of ethylene carbonate, which is the first organic solvent, is less than 0.1% by weight, it is difficult to form a solid SEI film, so the irreversible capacity of the secondary battery increases due to the continuous side reaction of the negative electrode and the electrolyte, and the output characteristics decrease. I can. In addition, when the content of ethylene carbonate exceeds 10% by weight, particularly 12% by weight, the oxidation stability and low-temperature performance of the non-aqueous electrolyte are inferior, and thus, oxidation and decomposition reactions of the non-aqueous electrolyte such as overcharge and hot box may The storage characteristics and cycle life characteristics of the non-aqueous electrolyte solution tend to decrease under the exothermic environment that affects them.
[80]
[81]
(3) Second organic solvent
[82]

It may include at least one organic solvent selected from the group consisting of a solvent, a linear carbonate-based organic solvent, a linear ester-based organic solvent, and a cyclic ester-based organic solvent.
[83]
Cyclic carbonate-based organic solvents excluding ethylene carbonate are specific examples thereof: propylene carbonate (PC), 1,2-butylene carbonate, 2,3-butylene carbonate, 1,2-pentylene carbonate, 2,3 -It may contain at least one organic solvent selected from the group consisting of pentylene carbonate, vinylene carbonate, and fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC).
[84]
In addition, the linear carbonate-based organic solvent is a specific example of the dimethyl carbonate (dimethyl carbonate, DMC), diethyl carbonate (diethyl carbonate, DEC), dipropyl carbonate, ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), methyl propyl carbonate and ethyl propyl carbonate. It may contain at least one or more organic solvents selected from the group consisting of, among which ethylmethyl carbonate (EMC) may be included.
[85]

[87]
Specifically, in the present invention, in order to prepare a non-aqueous electrolyte solution having a high ionic conductivity, it is preferable to mix and use a linear carbonate-based organic solvent having a low viscosity and a low dielectric constant together with the first organic solvent.
[88]
In addition, in the present invention, at least one of a cyclic carbonate-based organic solvent, a linear ester-based organic solvent, and a cyclic ester-based organic solvent other than the first solvent is added to the mixed solvent of the first organic solvent and the linear carbonate-based organic solvent. Can also be included as
[89]
The second organic solvent may be included in a residual amount excluding the first organic solvent and additives based on the total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte.
[90]
[91]
(4) first additive
[92]
The non-aqueous electrolyte solution of the present invention may include an oligomer represented by the following Formula 1 as a first additive in order to lower viscosity and surface tension.
[93]
[Formula 1]
[94]
[95]
In Formula 1,
[96]
R 1 is a substituted or unsubstituted group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms in the alkylene group or ring R with at least one fluorine element 1 'is -O-, wherein R 1 ' is C 1 -C substituted or unsubstituted with at least one fluorine element 5 Is an alkylene group of,
[97]
R 2 is an alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms substituted or unsubstituted with at least one fluorine element or R 2 ′-O-, wherein R 2 ′ is 1 to 5 carbon atoms unsubstituted or substituted with at least one fluorine element Is an alkylene group of,
[98]
R 3 is an alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms substituted or unsubstituted with at least one fluorine element or R 3 ′-O-, wherein R 3 ′ is 1 to 5 carbon atoms unsubstituted or substituted with at least one fluorine element Is an alkylene group of,
[99]

[101]
m and n are each independently an integer of 1 to 5,
[102]
a and b are each independently an integer of 1 to 3.
[103]
[104]
In general, when the lithium salt in the non-aqueous electrolyte solution contains a high concentration of 1.2 M or more, the viscosity of the non-aqueous electrolyte solution may increase and the electrolyte wetting characteristics may be reduced. In the present invention, by including the oligomer represented by Formula 1 as the first additive, the viscosity and surface tension of the non-aqueous electrolyte solution increased by the high concentration lithium salt may be lowered.
[105]
That is, in the case of a polymer having a general alkylene oxide skeleton used in a conventional non-aqueous electrolyte, the reduction safety is low, and a film that is easily destroyed at high temperature is formed on the surface of the negative electrode during initial charging. This film has a disadvantage of increasing the interface resistance between the electrode and the electrolyte by causing a side reaction.
[106]
On the other hand, the oligomer represented by Formula 1 of the present invention contains an acrylate functional group, which is a hydrophilic group capable of forming crosslinks on both ends of the main chain, and at the same time, urethane (-NC(O)O Since it contains a -) group and a fluorine-substituted alkylene group, it exhibits a balanced affinity with the anode or separator (SRS layer), which is a hydrophilic part, and the cathode or membrane fabric, which is a hydrophobic part, and can give the role of a surfactant.
[107]
Therefore, the non-aqueous electrolyte solution of the present invention further includes an oligomer represented by Chemical Formula 1, although it contains a high-concentration lithium salt of 1.2 M or more, particularly 1.5 M or more, and thereby lowers the surface tension with the electrode. Since the resistance can be improved, an effect of improving the impregnation of the electrode and the electrolyte can be obtained.
[108]
Moreover, the oligomer represented by Chemical Formula 1 is electrochemically stable and has high reduction safety, and has the ability to dissociate lithium salts, thereby minimizing the reduction reaction on the surface of the negative electrode and improving lithium ion mobility. .
[109]
Therefore, in the case of the non-aqueous electrolyte solution of the present invention containing the oligomer represented by Formula 1, a polymer having an alkylene oxide skeleton such as ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, or butylene oxide, which has been commercialized during the production of the conventional non-aqueous electrolyte solution, Alternatively, as compared with a non-aqueous electrolyte solution using dialkyl siloxane, fluorosiloxane, and block copolymers and graft polymers having these units, side reactions with the electrode are reduced, and the interface safety effect between the electrode and the electrolyte is improved. , It is possible to improve the initial output characteristics and cycle life characteristics of the lithium secondary battery.
[110]
[111]
Meanwhile, in Formula 1, R 4 may be an aliphatic hydrocarbon group.
[112]
The aliphatic hydrocarbon group may include an alicyclic hydrocarbon group or a linear hydrocarbon group. Specifically, the alicyclic hydrocarbon group is a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkylene group having 4 to 20 carbon atoms; A substituted or unsubstituted C4 to C20 cycloalkenylene group; And at least one or more selected from the group consisting of a substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkylene group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms.
[113]
The linear hydrocarbon group is a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms; A substituted or unsubstituted C 1 to C 20 alkoxyl group; A substituted or unsubstituted alkenylene group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms; And at least one selected from the group consisting of a substituted or unsubstituted alkynylene group having 2 to 20 carbon atoms.
[114]
In addition, in Formula 1, R 4 may be an aromatic hydrocarbon group.
[115]
The aromatic hydrocarbon group is a substituted or unsubstituted arylene group having 6 to 20 carbon atoms; Or a substituted or unsubstituted C2-C20 heteroarylene group is mentioned.
[116]
Specifically, in Formula 1, R 1 is R 1 ′-O-, wherein R 1 ′ is an alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms substituted or unsubstituted with at least one fluorine element, and R 2 is R 2 ′ -O- and, wherein R 2 'is a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group having 1 to 5 rings with at least one elemental fluorine, R 3 is substituted with at least one fluorine element or unsubstituted alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms a group, wherein R 4 is may be an aliphatic hydrocarbon.
[117]
More specifically, in Formula 1, R 1 is R 1 ′-O-, wherein R 1 ′ is an alkylene group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms unsubstituted or substituted with at least one fluorine element, and R 2 is R 2 'is -O-, wherein R 2 ' is a substituted or unsubstituted alkylene group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms ring with at least one elemental fluorine, R 3 is 1 to 3 carbon atoms substituted or unsubstituted with at least one fluorine element an alkylene group, wherein R 4 is may be an aliphatic hydrocarbon.
[118]
More specifically, the oligomer represented by Formula 1 may be an oligomer represented by Formula 1a.
[119]
[Formula 1a]
[120]
[121]
In Formula 1a,
[122]
m1 and n1 are each independently an integer of 1 to 5.
[123]
Specifically, in Formula 1a, m1 and n1 are each independently an integer of 3 to 5.
[124]
[125]
In addition, the oligomer represented by Formula 1 may be included in 0.1% to 22% by weight, specifically 0.1% to 20% by weight, specifically 0.5% to 10% by weight based on the total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte.
[126]
When the content of the first additive is 0.1% by weight or more, the surface tension may be lowered to improve the impregnation property of the non-aqueous electrolyte solution to the electrode. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent disadvantages such as an increase in resistance, a decrease in capacity and a limitation of movement of lithium ions, for example, a decrease in ionic conductivity.
[127]
On the other hand, the weight average molecular weight (MW) of the oligomer represented by Formula 1 can be controlled by the number of repeating units, specifically 1,000 g/mol to 100,000 g/mol, more specifically 1,000 g/mol to It may be 50,000 g/mol, more specifically 1,000 g/mol to 10,000 g/mol. Preferably, the weight average molecular weight (MW) of the oligomer represented by Formula 1 may be 1,000 g/mol to 5,000 g/mol.
[128]
When the weight average molecular weight of the oligomer is within the above range, the mechanical strength of the non-aqueous electrolyte solution including the oligomer can be effectively improved.
[129]
If the weight average molecular weight of the oligomer represented by Chemical Formula 1 is less than 1,000 g/mol, appropriate mechanical strength cannot be expected, and the use of a more polymerization initiator is required, or a difficult additional polymerization process is required. There is a disadvantage that the process becomes complicated. On the other hand, when the weight average molecular weight exceeds 100,000 g/mol, the oligomer physical properties themselves become rigid, and the affinity with the electrolyte solvent decreases, making it difficult to dissolve, and thus formation of a uniform and excellent gel polymer electrolyte cannot be expected.
[130]
The weight average molecular weight can be measured using Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC). For example, after preparing a sample sample of a certain concentration, the GPC measurement system alliance 4 device is stabilized. When the device is stabilized, a standard sample and a sample sample are injected into the device to obtain a chromatogram, and then the molecular weight can be calculated according to the analysis method (system: Alliance 4, column: Ultrahydrogel linearX2, eluent: 0.1M NaNO 3 (pH 7.0). phosphate buffer, flow rate: 0.1 mL/min, temp: 40℃, injection: 100μL)
[131]
[132]

In addition, the non-aqueous electrolyte solution of the present invention contains at least one of a fluorine-containing aromatic compound having 9 or less carbon atoms, a carbonate ester compound having an unsaturated bond, and an acid anhydride in order to improve the storage characteristics and cycle characteristics of the non-aqueous electrolyte solution when overcharged .
