First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery, comprising a non-aqueous organic solvent; a lithium salt; and an additive represented by Chemical Formula 1: wherein, in Chemical Formula 1, X 1 and X 2 are each independently O, S, CR a R b , or NR c , provided that at least one of X 1 and X 2 is O or S, L 1 is a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C10 alkylene group or a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C10 alkenylene group, R 1 to R 4 are each independently hydrogen, a C1 to C10 alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C10 alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C10 alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C10 cycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C10 cycloalkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C20 an aryl group, or a combination thereof, and n is an integer of any one of 1 to 3. 2. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 is represented by Chemical Formula 1A: wherein, in Chemical Formula 1A, the definitions of X 1 , X 2 , L 1 , and R 1 to R 4 are the same as in claim 1 . 3. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 is represented by any one of Chemical Formula 1-1 to Chemical Formula 1-3: wherein, in Chemical Formula 1-1 to Chemical Formula 1-3, the definitions of L 1 , R 1 to R 4 , and n are the same as in claim 1 . 4. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein R 1 to R 4 are each independently hydrogen, a C1 to C6 alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C6 alkoxy group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C6 alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C6 cycloalkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C6 cycloalkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C10 an aryl group, or a combination thereof. 5. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein L 1 is a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C6 alkylene group. 6. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 is represented by any one of Chemical Formula 1-a to Chemical Formula 1-r: 7. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 is included in an amount of 0.1 wt % to 10 wt % based on the total amount of the electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery. 8. The electrolyte of claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by Chemical Formula 1 is included in an amount of 0.1 wt % to 3.0 wt % based on the total amount of the electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery. 9. A lithium secondary battery, comprising a positive electrode including a positive active material; a negative electrode including an anode active material; and the electrolyte of claim 1 . 10. The lithium secondary battery of claim 9 , wherein the positive active material includes at least one of a composite oxide of lithium and a metal selected from cobalt, manganese, nickel, and a combination thereof. 11. The lithium secondary battery of claim 9 , wherein the positive active material is represented by Chemical Formula 2: Li a Ni x1 CO y1 M z1 O 2   [Chemical Formula 2] wherein, in Chemical Formula 2, 0.9≤a≤1.8, 0.5<x1≤1, 0<y1≤0.5, 0<z1≤0.5, x1+y1+z1=1, and M is Ni, Co, Mn, Al, Ti, Mg, Zr, Ca, Nb, Fe, P, F, B, or a combination thereof.
