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, R 1 and R 2 are each independently a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C10 alkyl 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 C2 to C10 alkynyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C3 to C10 cycloalkynyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C20 aryl group, and L is a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C10 alkylene group. 2 . The electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein Chemical Formula 1 is represented by Chemical Formula 1-1: wherein, in Chemical Formula 1-1, n is one of integers from 1 to 5, and the definitions of R 1 and R 2 are as claim 1 . 3 . The electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein R 1 and R 2 in Chemical Formula 1 are each independently a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C10 alkyl group, a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C10 alkenyl group, or a substituted or unsubstituted C6 to C20 aryl group. 4 . The electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein R 1 and R 2 in Chemical Formula 1 are each independently a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C10 alkyl group or a substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C10 alkenyl group. 5 . The electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein R 1 and R 2 in Chemical Formula 1 are each independently a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C 5 alkyl group. 6 . The electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein R 1 and R 2 in Chemical Formula 1 are the same. 7 . The electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the additive is included in an amount of 0.1 wt % to 10 wt % based on the total weight of the electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery. 8 . The electrolyte for a lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the additive is included in an amount of 0.1 wt % to 3.0 wt % based on the total weight 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 a negative active material; the electrolyte of claim 1 . 10 . The lithium secondary battery of claim 9 , wherein the positive active material is a composite oxide of a nickel-containing metal and lithium. 11 . The lithium secondary battery of claim 9 , wherein the positive active material is represented by Chemical Formula 4: [Chemical Formula 4] Li a M 1 1-y1-z1 M 2 y1 M 3 z1 O 2 wherein, in Chemical Formula 4, 0.9≤a≤1.8, 0≤y1≤1, 0≤z1≤1, 0≤y1+z1<1, M 1 , M 2 , and M 3 may each independently be selected from metals of Ni, Co, Mn, Al, Sr, Mg, or La, and a combination thereof.
