The present invention addresses the problem of providing an
electrolyte solution for a
lithium metal secondary battery, which, when using 1, 2-
dimethoxyethane (DME) as a
solvent, is capable of simultaneously suppressing an increase in the resistance of the
lithium metal secondary battery, suppressing the generation of gas, and suppressing an increase in the thickness of the negative
electrode. The present invention is an
electrolyte solution for a
lithium metal secondary battery, the
electrolyte solution comprising an electrolyte salt, an
organic solvent, and a first additive, the electrolyte salt comprising lithium bis (fluorosulfonyl)
imide (LiFSI), the
organic solvent comprising 1, 2-
dimethoxyethane (DME), the first additive being N, N-dimethyltrifluoromethanesulfonamide (DMTMSA), or N, N-
dimethylformamide (DMTMSA), and the electrolyte solution comprising lithium bis (fluorosulfonyl)
imide (LiFSI), the
organic solvent comprising 1, 2-
dimethoxyethane (DME), and the second additive comprising N, N-dimethyltrifluoromethanesulfonamide (DMTMSA), or N, N-dimethyltrifluoromethanesulfonamide (DMTMSA). The electrolyte solution for a
lithium metal secondary battery contains at least one of N, N-dimethylaminosulfonyl
fluoride (DMSF), and the first additive is contained in an amount of 0.2 parts by
mass or more when the total
mass of the electrolyte salt and the organic
solvent is taken as 100 parts by
mass.
