Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a lithium secondary battery capable of preventing the battery life from being reduced. The lithium secondary battery includes a cathode, an anode including silicon, a separator positioned between the cathode and the anode, and an electrolyte including flouoroethylene carbonate (FEC), wherein a weight ratio of the silicon to the FEC is about 0.4 to about 0.8.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A lithium secondary battery comprising: a cathode; an anode comprising a silicon component; a separator disposed between the cathode and the anode; and an electrolyte comprising fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC), wherein a weight ratio of the silicon component to the FEC is about 0.4 to about 0.8, wherein the weight ratio of the silicon component to the FEC is obtained using an absolute amount of the silicon component in a cell of the lithium secondary battery to an absolute amount of the FEC in the cell of the lithium secondary battery, wherein the absolute amount of the FEC in the cell is obtained by the following Equation 1: an absolute amount of the FEC=an amount of injection of the electrolyte×a weight ratio of the FEC relative to the total weight of the electrolyte  [Equation 1]; wherein the absolute amount of the silicon component in the cell is obtained by the following Equation 2: an absolute amount of the silicon component=a loading level of the anode per unit area×an area of the anode×a content of an active material×a number of electrode stacks×a content of the silicon in the active material  [Equation 2]. 2. The lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the anode comprises a silicon-carbon composite, a first carbon component, and a conductor. 3. The lithium secondary battery of claim 2 , wherein the silicon-carbon composite comprises the silicon component, a second carbon component, and a coating layer. 4. The lithium secondary battery of claim 2 , wherein the first carbon component comprises graphite. 5. The lithium secondary battery of claim 3 , wherein the second carbon component comprises graphite. 6. The lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte comprises the FEC in an amount of about 5% or greater and less than about 10% by weight of the total weight of the electrolyte. 7. The lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the FEC forms a film at an interface between the silicon component of the anode and the electrolyte. 8. A vehicle comprising a lithium secondary battery of claim 1 .
