Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a non-aqueous electrolyte and a lithium secondary battery containing the same. [Background technology]

[0002] With the development of the information society, personal IT devices and computer networks have advanced, and consequently, society as a whole has become more dependent on electrical energy. Therefore, there is a need to develop technologies for efficiently storing and utilizing electrical energy.

[0003] Rechargeable batteries are the most suitable technology for a wide range of applications among the technologies currently under development. Among these rechargeable batteries, there is growing interest in lithium-ion batteries, which not only can be miniaturized to a degree suitable for personal IT devices, but also have the highest energy density.

[0004] Typically, lithium-ion batteries are manufactured by injecting or impregnating an electrode assembly, consisting of a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a porous separator, with a non-aqueous electrolyte.

[0005] For the positive electrode active material of such lithium secondary batteries, the use of lithium-containing cobalt oxide, layered crystalline LiMnO2, spinel crystalline LiMn2O4, lithium-containing nickel oxide (LiNiO2), and lithium nickel-cobalt-manganese transition metal oxide is being considered. On the other hand, for the negative electrode active material, the use of carbon-based active materials and silicon-based active materials is being considered.

[0006] In particular, high capacity, high output, and long lifespan are important characteristics for lithium secondary batteries used in automobiles. To increase the capacity of lithium secondary batteries, methods such as using a positive electrode active material with a high nickel content, which has high energy density but low stability, or driving lithium secondary batteries at high voltages are being considered.

[0007] However, when a lithium secondary battery is powered under the above conditions, as charging and discharging progresses, side reactions caused by electrolyte degradation can degrade the coating or electrode surface structure formed on the positive / negative electrode surfaces, potentially leading to the elution of transition metal ions from the positive electrode surface. These eluted transition metal ions then electro-deposit onto the negative electrode, reducing the passivation capacity of the negative electrode's SEI (Solid Electrolyte Interface) coating, resulting in the degradation of the negative electrode. This degradation phenomenon in secondary batteries tends to accelerate further when the positive electrode potential increases or when the battery is exposed to high temperatures.

[0008] Furthermore, when lithium secondary batteries are used continuously for long periods or left at high temperatures, gas is generated, causing the battery to swell, a phenomenon known as swelling. The amount of gas generated at this time is known to depend on the state of the SEI (Single Energy Intake).

[0009] Therefore, in order to solve these problems, research and development are being attempted on methods that can suppress the elution of metal ions at the positive electrode, form a stable SEI film at the negative electrode, reduce the swelling phenomenon of lithium secondary batteries, and improve stability at high temperatures.

[0077] Generally, cyclic borates are substances that can be reduced at the negative electrode to form an SEI film. However, after being solvated with an organic solvent, they become excessively bulky, making it difficult to access the negative electrode.

In this regard, the compound represented by chemical formula 1 according to the present invention is characterized by having an allyl group (-CH2-CH=CH2) or a propagyl group (-CH2-C≡CH) bonded to the cyclic borate in its structure. Because the allyl group or propagyl group has high reactivity and easily accesses the negative electrode due to its LUMO properties, the cyclic borate bonded to the allyl group or propagyl group can also easily access the negative electrode, thereby promoting the reactivity of the cyclic borate at the negative electrode. This effect cannot be achieved with other substituents (such as alkyl groups) other than the allyl group and propagyl group.

[0078] In the above chemical formula 1, R1 may be an allyl group or a propagyl group, and more specifically, an allyl group.

With the above types, R2, R3, R4, and R5 can achieve a stable reactivity and excellent durability SEI film formation effect without inhibiting the effect of the combination of cyclic borate and allyl or propagyl group.

[0080] In the above chemical formula 1, L may be selected from a single bond and an alkylene group having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, and when it is within the above range, Allyl The effects of improving the accessibility of the cyclic borate to the negative electrode and enhancing its reactivity can be easily achieved by using a group or propagyl group. In the above chemical formula 1, L may be specifically selected from a single bond and an alkylene group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and more specifically, it may be a single bond.

[0081] In the above chemical formula 1, X is selected from -C(=O)-, -S(=O)-, and -S(=O)2-.
