Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a non-aqueous electrolyte and a lithium secondary battery containing the same. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, the application areas of lithium-ion batteries have rapidly expanded beyond power supply for electronic devices such as electrical, electronic, telecommunications, and computers to include power storage and supply for large-area devices such as automobiles and power storage devices. Consequently, there is an increasing demand for high-capacity, high-output, and highly stable secondary batteries.
[0003] The aforementioned lithium secondary battery typically consists of a positive electrode containing a positive electrode active material, a negative electrode containing a negative electrode active material, an electrolyte that acts as a medium for transferring lithium ions, and a separator. In this case, carbon-based active materials and silicon-based active materials can be used as the negative electrode active material. Lithium transition metal oxides such as lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2), lithium nickel oxide (LiNiO2), and lithium nickel-cobalt-manganese composite oxide can be used as the positive electrode active material.
[0004] On the other hand, in recent years, lithium transition metal composite oxides with a nickel content of 80 mol% or more compared to transition metals have been studied in order to increase the energy density of the positive electrode. However, a problem with such high-nickel-content lithium transition metal composite oxides is that the high nickel content reduces the thermal stability of the positive electrode.
[0005] Alternatively, considering the problem of decreased thermal stability of the positive electrode when the nickel content is increased, the use of lithium transition metal composite oxides with an appropriately low nickel content has also been considered. However, when the nickel content is low, the driving voltage for the required energy density should be increased, but when driving at high voltages, problems such as electrolyte side reactions at the positive electrode, decreased high-temperature durability, and increased resistance may occur.
[0006] In order to achieve such a positive electrode and the high energy density of lithium secondary batteries containing it, problems such as thermal stability, high-temperature durability, and electrolyte side reactions must be resolved.

When the compound is used as an additive, it can continuously contribute to the formation of films on the positive and negative electrodes even during long-term charge and discharge, so the effects of improving long-term life performance, high-temperature durability, and thermal stability are remarkable.

In particular, when applied to a lithium secondary battery that requires high energy density and high voltage driving, it is possible to achieve a remarkable improvement in life performance and high-temperature storage performance.
[0064] (1) Lithium salt First, the lithium salt will be described as follows.

Specifically, the lithium salts include LiCl, LiBr, LiI, LiBF4, LiClO4, LiAlO4, LiAlCl4, LiPF6, LiSbF6, LiAsF6, and LiB 10 Cl 10 The lithium salt may be at least one selected from the group consisting of LiBOB(LiB(C2O4)2), LiCF3SO3, LiTFSI(LiN(SO2CF3)2), LiFSI(LiN(SO2F)2), LiCH3SO3, LiCF3CO2, LiCH3CO2, and LiBETI(LiN(SO2CF2CF3)2). Specifically, the lithium salt may consist of a single substance or a mixture of two or more substances selected from the group consisting of LiBF4, LiClO4, LiPF6, LiBOB(LiB(C2O4)2), LiCF3SO3, LiTFSI(LiN(SO2CF3)2), LiFSI(LiN(SO2F)2), and LiBETI(LiN(SO2CF2CF3)2), and more specifically, LiPF6.
[0066] The lithium salt may be modified as appropriate within the range of normal use, but in order to obtain the optimal effect of forming a corrosion-preventive film on the electrode surface, it may be included in the electrolyte at a concentration of 0.8 M to 3.0 M, specifically 1.0 M to 3.0 M. In this case, the unit "M" is molar concentration, and specifically may mean "mol / L".
[0067] When the concentration of the lithium salt satisfies the above range, the viscosity of the non-aqueous electrolyte can be controlled to achieve optimal impregnation, thereby improving the mobility of lithium ions and improving the capacity characteristics and cycle characteristics of the lithium secondary battery.
[0068] (2) Organic solvents The aforementioned organic solvent is not particularly limited as long as it is a non-aqueous solvent commonly used in lithium secondary batteries, and its decomposition due to oxidation reactions during the charging and discharging process of the secondary battery is minimized.
[0069] Specifically, the organic solvent may include at least one selected from the group consisting of cyclic carbonate organic solvents, linear carbonate organic solvents, linear ester organic solvents, and cyclic ester organic solvents.
[0070] Specifically, the organic solvent may include a cyclic carbonate organic solvent, a linear carbonate organic solvent, or a mixture thereof.
[0071] The cyclic carbonate-based organic solvent is a highly viscous organic solvent with a high dielectric constant that readily dissociates lithium salts in electrolytes. Specifically, it may contain at least one organic solvent selected from the group consisting of ethylene carbonate (EC), fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), propylene carbonate (PC), 1,2-butylene carbonate, 2,3-butylene carbonate, 1,2-pentylene carbonate, 2,3-pentylene carbonate, and vinylene carbonate.

In this case, the cyclic carbonate organic solvent and the linear carbonate organic solvent may be mixed in a volume ratio of 5:95 to 40:60, specifically in a volume ratio of 7:93 to 30:70. When the mixing ratio of the cyclic carbonate organic solvent and the linear carbonate organic solvent satisfies the above range, both high dielectric constant and low viscosity characteristics can be achieved, resulting in excellent ionic conductivity.
[0074] Furthermore, in order to produce an electrolyte having high ionic conductivity, the organic solvent may further contain at least one ester-based organic solvent selected from the group consisting of linear ester-based organic solvents and cyclic ester-based organic solvents, in addition to at least one carbonate-based organic solvent selected from the group consisting of cyclic carbonate-based organic solvents and linear carbonate-based organic solvents.

[0078] The ether-based solvent can be any one selected from the group consisting of dimethyl ether, diethyl ether, dipropyl ether, methyl ethyl ether, methyl propyl ether, ethyl propyl ether, 1,3-dioxolane (DOL), and 2,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-dioxolane (TFDOL), or a mixture of two or more of these, but is not limited to these.

[0081] (3) Additives The aforementioned additive contains a compound represented by the following chemical formula 1.

[0083] In the above chemical formula 1, R1 is a substituent represented by the following chemical formula 2, L1 is a directly bonded, substituted, or unsubstituted alkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, and R2 is hydrogen or a substituent represented by the following chemical formula 3, R a , R b , and R c Each of these is independently hydrogen, an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, or -CN.
[0084] [Chemical formula 2] [ka]
[0085] In the above chemical formula 2, m is 1 or 2, and X1 and X2 are independently -O- or -C(R 31 )(R 32 )- and at least one of X1 and X2 is -O-, R 31 ~R 36 Each of the following is independently hydrogen, a C1-C6 alkyl group, -C(=O)-R4, or -R5-OC(=O)-R6, where R4 and R6 are independently substituted or unsubstituted C1-C6 alkyl groups, C2-C20 alkenyl groups, C2-C20 alkynyl groups, or substituted or unsubstituted C6-C20 aryl groups, where R5 is a substituted or unsubstituted C1-C6 alkylene group, where each of the substituents L1, R4, R5, and R6 is independently one or more selected from the group consisting of deuterium, -F, -Cl, -Br, -I, -CN, -NO2, and -SO3, where * is a bonding site, and R 31 , R32 , R 33 , R 34 , R 35 , and R 36 It is located in one of the following locations.
[0086] [Chemical formula 3] [ka]
[0087] In the above chemical formula 3, * represents a bonding site, and L2 is an alkylene group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
[0088] The compound represented by chemical formula 1 is characterized by containing, as an additive, a compound of a specific chemical formula having an imidazolium cation structure in which a cyclic sulfur oxide is substituted. The compound is a heterocompound having a cyclic structure in which carbon and nitrogen exist within the structure, and because electron-rich nitrogen elements are present in the structure, electrons can be uniformly distributed within the cyclic structure, the cyclic structure of the cyclic sulfur oxide can be maintained without immediate ring-opening during charging and discharging. The compound represented by chemical formula 1, having such characteristics, can continuously contribute to the formation of a film on the positive and negative electrodes during long-term charging and discharging. In particular, for positive electrodes with high energy density or those required to be driven at high voltages, a decrease in the thermal stability of the positive electrode and electrolyte side reactions at the positive electrode become problematic, which can result from a decrease in film durability or cracking of the film during long-term operation of the positive electrode. Since the compound represented by chemical formula 1 can continuously contribute to the formation of a film on the positive electrode during charging and discharging of lithium secondary batteries, it has a significant effect in improving long-term life performance, high-temperature durability, and thermal stability. Therefore, lithium secondary batteries containing the aforementioned non-aqueous electrolyte can have excellent life performance and high-temperature storage characteristics.
[0089] Furthermore, because the compound represented by chemical formula 1 has an imidazolium cation in its matrix structure, it suppresses the generation of Lewis acids such as HF and PF5. In addition, the nitrogen element acts as a Lewis base, removing Lewis acids generated in the electrolyte. This suppresses the deterioration behavior of the coating on the surface of the positive or negative electrode caused by Lewis acids, and prevents additional electrolyte decomposition. As a result, the self-discharge of lithium secondary batteries can be mitigated and the high-temperature storage characteristics can be improved.
[0090] In the above chemical formula 1, R1 is a substituent represented by the following chemical formula 2.
[0091] [Chemical formula 2] [ka]

By adjusting the equivalent amounts during the reaction, all of the compounds represented by chemical formula 4 and the compound represented by compound 5 may form the compound represented by chemical formula 1, or some of these compounds may form the compound represented by chemical formula 1.

[0148] More specifically, the lithium secondary battery according to the present invention is characterized by comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode facing the positive electrode, a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and the aforementioned non-aqueous electrolyte.
[0149] The lithium secondary battery can be manufactured by housing an electrode assembly including the positive electrode, a negative electrode facing the positive electrode, and a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode in a battery case and then injecting the aforementioned non-aqueous electrolyte.
[0150] (1) Positive electrode The positive electrode may contain a positive electrode active material.
[0151] The positive electrode active material is a compound capable of reversible intercalation and deintercalation of lithium. Specifically, it may include a lithium transition metal composite oxide containing at least one transition metal selected from nickel, cobalt, manganese, and aluminum and lithium, preferably a lithium transition metal composite oxide containing a transition metal containing nickel, cobalt, and manganese and lithium.
[0152] For example, as the lithium transition metal composite oxide, there are lithium-manganese-based oxides (such as LiMnO2, LiMn2O4, etc.), lithium-cobalt-based oxides (such as LiCoO2, etc.), lithium-nickel-based oxides (such as LiNiO2, etc.), lithium-nickel-manganese-based oxides (such as LiNi 1-Y Mn Y O2 (where 0 < Y < 1), LiMn 2-Z Ni Z O4 (where 0 < Z < 2), etc.), lithium-nickel-cobalt-based oxides (such as LiNi 1-Y1 Co Y1 O2 (where 0 < Y1 < 1), etc.), lithium-manganese-cobalt-based oxides (such as LiCo 1-Y2 Mn Y2 O2 (where 0 < Y2 < 1), LiMn 2-Z1 Co Z1 O4 (where 0 < Z1 < 2), etc.), lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt-based oxides (such as Li(Ni p Co q Mn r1 )O2 (where 0 < p < 1, 0 < q < 1, 0 < r1 < 1, p + q + r1 = 1) or Li(Ni p1 Coq1 Mn r2 )O4 (where 0 < p1 < 2, 0 < q1 < 2, 0 < r2 < 2, p1 + q1 + r2 = 2), etc.), or lithium-nickel-cobalt-transition metal (M) oxide (e.g., Li(Ni p2 Co q2 Mn r3 M S2 )O2 (where M is selected from the group consisting of Al, Fe, V, Cr, Ti, Ta, Mg, and Mo, and p2, q2, r3, and s2 are atomic fractions of independent elements, respectively, 0 < p2 < 1, 0 < q2 < 1, 0 < r3 < 1, 0 < s2 < 1, and p2 + q2 + r3 + s2 = 1), etc.), and any one or two or more of these compounds may be included. Among them, from the point of being able to enhance the capacity characteristics and stability of the battery, the lithium transition metal composite oxide is LiCoO2, LiMnO2, LiNiO2, lithium nickel-manganese-cobalt oxide (e.g., Li(Ni 0.6 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 )O2, Li(Ni 0.5 Mn 0.3 Co 0.2 )O2, Li(Ni 0.7 Mn 0.15 Co 0.15 )O2, or Li(Ni 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1 )O2, etc.), or lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (e.g., Li(Ni 0.8 Co 0.15 Al 0.05 )O2, etc.), and considering the remarkable improvement effect by controlling the types and content ratios of the constituent elements forming the lithium transition metal composite oxide, the lithium transition metal composite oxide is Li(Ni 0.6 Mn 0.2 Co 0.2 )O2, Li(Ni 0.5 Mn 0.3 Co 0.2 )O2, Li(Ni 0.7 Mn 0.15 Co 0.15 )O2, or Li(Ni 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co0.1 ) may be O2, and one or more of these may be used as a mixture.
[0153] More specifically, the positive electrode active material may contain a lithium transition metal oxide represented by the following chemical formula P-1.
[0154] [Chemical formula P-1] Li 1+x [Ni a Co b Mn c M 1 d ]O 2+w
[0155] In the aforementioned chemical formula P-1, 0≦x≦0.5, a+b+c+d=1, 0.5≦a≦0.7, 0≦b≦0.15, c=1-abd, 0≦d≦0.1, 0≦b / a≦0.2, 1≦a / c≦3, 0≦w≦1, M 1 This is one or more elements selected from W, Cu, Fe, V, Cr, Ti, Zr, Zn, Al, In, Ta, Y, La, Sr, Ga, Sc, Gd, Sm, Ca, Ce, Nb, Mg, B, and Mo.
[0156] The compound represented by the chemical formula P-1 has a lower nickel content compared to high-nickel lithium transition metal oxides, and therefore, in order to increase the energy density of the positive electrode, it needs to be driven at a high voltage (e.g., 4.35V or higher). However, when driven at such high voltages, side reactions of the positive electrode electrolyte become more severe, resulting in a significant decrease in lifespan and storage performance, reduced high-temperature durability, and a severe increase in resistance. This is due to the accelerated oxidative decomposition of organic solvents (such as ethylene carbonate) during high-voltage operation, which generates carbon dioxide (CO2), or due to Lewis acids such as HF and PF5 formed by the decomposition of lithium salts (such as LiPF6) decomposing the positive electrode coating, dissolving the transition metal of the positive electrode active material, and causing structural collapse. These problems can be resolved by using the aforementioned non-aqueous electrolyte. As described above, the aforementioned non-aqueous electrolyte can continuously provide a coating that can improve the durability of the positive electrode, and thus significantly prevents the problem of electrolyte side reactions that occur during long-term charging and discharging. Therefore, the lithium secondary battery according to the present invention can exhibit remarkably superior effects in long-term lifespan and high-temperature storage performance.

[0159] In the chemical formula P-1, 0 ≤ b ≤ 0.15. b corresponds to the molar percentage of Co among the metals excluding lithium in the lithium transition metal oxide represented by the chemical formula A. According to the present invention, lowering the Co content offers cost advantages, and relatively increasing the proportion of Mn improves the structural stability of the positive electrode active material. Specifically, in the chemical formula P-1, 0 ≤ b ≤ 0.1 may be used.
[0160] In the chemical formula P-1, 0 ≤ b / a ≤ 0.2. If b / a exceeds 0.2, the proportion of Co in the transition metal is very high, which can increase the irreversibility within the structure. Specifically, in the chemical formula P-1, 0.05 ≤ b / a ≤ 0.2 may be the case.
[0161] In the aforementioned chemical formula P-1, c = 1 - abd, and 1 ≤ a / c ≤ 3. c corresponds to the molar percentage of Mn among the metals excluding lithium in the lithium transition metal oxide represented by the aforementioned chemical formula P-1. According to the present invention, the structural stability of the positive electrode active material can be improved by adjusting the molar ratio of Ni to Mn to 1 ≤ a / c ≤ 3. Specifically, it may be 1.5 ≤ a / c ≤ 2.5.

[0166] Preferably, a1, b1, c1, and d1 may be 0.70≦a1≦0.95, 0.025≦b1≦0.20, 0.025≦c1≦0.20, and 0≦d1≦0.05, respectively. Alternatively, a1, b1, c1, and d1 may be 0.80≦a1≦0.95, 0.025≦b1≦0.15, 0.025≦c1≦0.15, and 0≦d1≦0.05, respectively. Alternatively, a1, b1, c1, and d1 may be 0.85≦a1≦0.90, 0.05≦b1≦0.10, 0.05≦c1≦0.10, and 0≦d1≦0.03, respectively.
[0167] The positive electrode may include a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode active material layer disposed on at least one side of the positive electrode current collector. In this case, the positive electrode active material may be included in the positive electrode active material layer.
[0168] The positive electrode current collector is not particularly limited as long as it does not cause chemical changes in the battery and has high conductivity. Specifically, the positive electrode current collector may contain at least one selected from the group consisting of copper, stainless steel, aluminum, nickel, titanium, calcined carbon, and aluminum-cadmium alloy, preferably aluminum.
[0169] The thickness of the positive electrode current collector is typically between 3 μm and 500 μm.
[0170] The positive electrode current collector may have its surface textured to enhance the bonding force of the positive electrode active material. For example, the positive electrode current collector can be used in various forms such as film, sheet, foil, mesh, porous material, foam, or nonwoven fabric.
[0171] The positive electrode active material layer may be disposed on at least one side of the positive electrode current collector, specifically on one or both sides of the positive electrode current collector.
[0172] The positive electrode active material may be included in the positive electrode active material layer in an amount of 80% to 99% by weight, preferably 92% to 98.5% by weight, taking into consideration the sufficient capacity of the positive electrode active material.
