Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to: an electrolyte for a rechargeable lithium battery, the electrolyte including a non-aqueous organic solvent, a lithium salt, and an electrolyte additive for a rechargeable lithium battery, the electrolyte additive including a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1; and a rechargeable lithium battery comprising the electrolyte for a rechargeable lithium battery. Chemical Formula 1 is as defined in the specification.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1 . An electrolyte for a rechargeable lithium battery, comprising a non-aqueous organic solvent, a lithium salt, and an additive, wherein the additive includes a compound represented by Chemical Formula 1: wherein, in Chemical Formula 1, L 1 is a single bond, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C5 alkylene group, a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C5 cycloalkylene group, or a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C15 arylene group, Z is an isocyanate group (—NCO), an isothiocyanate group (—NCS), a cyanate group (—OCN), a thiocyanate group (—SCN), or an isocyano group (—NC), and R 1 and R 2 are the same or different and are each independently hydrogen, a substituted or unsubstituted C 1 to C10 alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C 1 to C10 alkenyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C 1 to C10 alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C 3 to C20 cycloalkyl group, or a halide group. 2 . The electrolyte for a rechargeable lithium battery of claim 1 , wherein L is a single bond, or a substituted or unsubstituted C 1 to C 3 alkylene group, Z is an isocyanate group (—NCO) or an isothiocyanate group (—NCS), and R 1 and R 2 are the same or different halide group. 3 . The electrolyte for a rechargeable lithium battery of claim 1 , wherein L is a single bond, Z is an isocyanate group (—NCO) or an isothiocyanate group (—NCS), and R 1 and R 2 are each independently —F. 4 . The electrolyte for a rechargeable lithium battery of claim 1 , wherein the additive includes a compound represented by Chemical Formula 2: 5 . The electrolyte for a rechargeable lithium battery of claim 1 , wherein the additive is included in an amount of 0.05 wt % to 5 wt % based on the total amount of the electrolyte. 6 . The electrolyte for a rechargeable lithium battery of claim 1 , wherein the additive is included in an amount of 0.1 wt % to 3 wt % based on the total amount of the electrolyte. 7 . A rechargeable lithium battery, comprising a positive electrode including a positive electrode active material; a negative electrode including a negative electrode active material; and the electrolyte for the rechargeable lithium battery of claim 1 . 8 . The rechargeable lithium battery of claim 7 , wherein the positive electrode active material includes a lithium nickel-based transition metal oxide selected from lithium nickel oxide, lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide, lithium nickel phosphate, or a combination thereof. 9 . The rechargeable lithium battery of claim 7 , wherein the negative electrode active material includes a Si-based negative electrode active material or a Sn-based negative electrode active material.
