First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A rechargeable lithium battery, comprising: a positive electrode; a negative electrode; and an electrolyte comprising a smoothing additive having a reduction potential of −0.5 V or more and less than 0.9 V. 2 . The rechargeable lithium battery of claim 1 , wherein the smoothing additive is butynediol, thiourea, or a combination thereof. 3 . The rechargeable lithium battery of claim 1 , wherein an amount of the smoothing additive is 5 wt % or less based on the total, 100 wt %, of the electrolyte. 4 . The rechargeable lithium battery of claim 1 , wherein an amount of the smoothing additive is 0.01 wt % to 5 wt % based on the total, 100 wt %, of the electrolyte. 5 . The rechargeable lithium battery of claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte further comprises a lithium salt and a non-aqueous organic solvent. 6 . The rechargeable lithium battery of claim 1 , wherein the negative electrode comprises a current collector. 7 . The rechargeable lithium battery of claim 1 , wherein the negative electrode comprises a coating layer including a current collector and a polymer positioned on the current collector. 8 . The rechargeable lithium battery of claim 7 , wherein the polymer is a polyvinylidene fluoride-based polymer. 9 . The rechargeable lithium battery of claim 7 , wherein the polymer is polyvinylidene fluoride, a copolymer of polyvinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene (PVdF-HFP), or a combination thereof. 10 . The rechargeable lithium battery of claim 7 , wherein the coating layer further comprises LiF.
