[0001] This application claims priority from Korean Patent Application Nos. 10-0139182, filed on October 19, 2021, and 10-2022-0134631, filed on October 19, 2022, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference herein.
[0002] The present invention relates to a lithium secondary battery including an electrolyte containing a specific additive combination and a high-nickel positive electrode material.
BACKGROUND ART
BACKGROUND ART
[0003] In lithium secondary batteries, an electrode assembly is generally formed by interposing a separator between a positive electrode including a positive electrode active material made of a transition metal oxide containing lithium, and a negative electrode including a negative electrode active material capable of storing lithium ions, and the lithium secondary battery is manufactured by inserting the electrode assembly into a battery case, injecting a non-aqueous electrolyte as a medium for transferring lithium ions, and then sealing the electrode assembly.
[0004] Lithium secondary batteries can be miniaturized and have high energy density and operating voltage, so they are being applied to various fields such as mobile devices, electronic products, and electric vehicles. As the field of application of the lithium secondary battery is diversified, the required physical property conditions are also gradually increasing, and in particular, there is a demand for the development of a lithium secondary battery that can be stably driven even under high temperature conditions.

Date Recue/Date Received 2024-02-23
[0005] Meanwhile, when a lithium secondary battery is driven under high temperature conditions, the PF6- anion from a lithium salt such as LiPF6 contained in the electrolyte may be thermally decomposed to generate a Lewis acid such as PF5, which reacts with moisture to generate HF. Decomposition products such as PF5 and HF may not only destroy the film formed on the electrode surface, but also cause a decomposition reaction of the organic solvent.
[0006] In addition, the electrolyte decomposition product may react with the decomposition product of the positive electrode active material to elute transition metal ions, and the eluted transition metal ions may be electrodeposited on the negative electrode to destroy the film formed on the surface of the negative electrode, thereby further lowering battery performance.
[0007] In particular, when the nickel content in the positive electrode active material is increased to implement a high-capacity battery, the initial capacity characteristics are improved, but when charging and discharging are repeated, a large amount of highly reactive Ni4+ ions are generated, resulting in the structural collapse of the positive electrode active material, so that there is a problem in that the degradation rate of the battery increases.
[0008] Accordingly, there is a demand for the development of a secondary battery capable of maintaining excellent performance even under high temperature conditions while including a high-nickel positive electrode material.

ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS
[0023] The lithium secondary battery according to the present invention can exhibit excellent high-temperature stability by including an electrolyte including a combination of specific additives while including a high-nickel (High-Ni) positive electrode active material.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0024] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.
[0025] In general, anions included in lithium salts such as LiPF6, which are widely used in electrolytes for lithium secondary batteries, form decomposition products such as hydrogen fluoride (HF) and PF5 due to thermal decomposition or moisture. These decomposition products have acid properties and deteriorate the film or electrode surface in the battery.
[0026] Due to the decomposition product of the electrolyte and the structural change of the positive electrode due to repeated charging and discharging, etc., the transition metals in the positive electrode are easily eluted into the electrolyte, and the eluted transition metal is redeposited again on the positive electrode to increase the resistance of the positive electrode.
Date Recue/Date Received 2024-02-23 In addition, when the eluted transition metal moves to the negative electrode through the electrolyte, electrodeposition on the negative electrode causes destruction of the solid electrolyte interphase (SET) film and an additional electrolytic decomposition reaction, which cause problems such as consumption of lithium ions and increased resistance.
[0027] In addition, upon initial activation of the battery, a protective film is formed on the positive electrode and the negative electrode by an electrolyte reaction, and when the film becomes unstable for the above reason, further decomposition of the electrolyte occurs upon charging and discharging or high-temperature exposure to promote degradation of the battery and generate gas.
[0028] In particular, in the case of a battery including a positive electrode active material having a high nickel content, initial capacity characteristics are improved, but when charging and discharging are repeated, lithium by-products and gas generation due to side reactions may increase, and the decomposition reaction of the electrolyte may be intensified.
[0029] In order to solve this problem, the present inventors included a first additive represented by the following Chemical Formula 1 and a second additive in which a reduction reaction occurs at a higher potential than the first additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte, and this allows the gas reduction effect of the first additive to be maximized by first forming a film of the second additive during initial charging. Further, in the case of the second additive, by inhibiting the formation of HF by binding to PF5, it is possible to prevent the destruction of the cathode electrolyte interphase (CET) film formed on the positive electrode surface due to the first additive, thereby maximizing the effect of the first additive, and inhibiting additional electrolyte decomposition reaction.
[0030] Hereinafter, each configuration constituting the present invention will be described in more detail.
Date Recue/Date Received 2024-02-23 [0031] Non-Aqueous Electrolyte [0032] The lithium secondary battery according to the present disclosure includes a non-aqueous electrolyte including a lithium salt, an organic solvent, a first additive represented by the following Chemical Formula 1 and a second additive represented by the following Chemical Formula 2.
[0033] Hereinafter, each component of the non-aqueous electrolyte will be specifically described.
(1) First Additive and Second Additive [0034] The non-aqueous electrolyte of the present invention includes a first additive represented by the following Chemical Formula 1.
[0035] [Chemical Formula 11 [0036] wherein, [0037] R1 and R2 are each independently a direct bond; or an alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
[0038] Because the first additive represented by Chemical Formula 1 has a structure including succinic anhydride, a film is formed on the negative electrode during initial charging, and thereafter, since the film can be formed while being decomposed on the positive electrode surface in a high potential state, it is effective for reducing the amount of gas generated in the Date Recue/Date Received 2024-02-23 battery.
[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, R1 and R2 in Chemical Formula 1 are each independently a direct bond; or a straight-chain or branched alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, R1 and R2 in Chemical Formula 1 are each independently a direct bond; or a straight-chain alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, R1 and R2 in Chemical Formula 1 are each independently a direct bond; or a methylene group.
[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, in Chemical Formula 1, R1 may be a direct bond, and R2 may be an alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, in Chemical Formula 1, R1 may be a direct bond, and R2 may be a methylene group.
[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first additive may be represented by the following Chemical Formula 1A.
[0045] [Chemical Formula 1A1 [0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, the content of the first additive may be in a range of 0.01 wt% to 5 wt%, preferably 0.5 wt% to 3 wt%, more preferably 1.5 wt% to 2.5 wt%, based on the total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte. It is preferable that the content Date Recue/Date Received 2024-02-23 of the first additive is 5 wt % or less in terms of reducing gas generated during battery driving and minimizing an increase in battery resistance.
[0047] The non-aqueous electrolyte of the present invention includes a second additive represented by the following Chemical Formula 2.
[0048] [Chemical Formula 21 [0049] wherein, [0050] A is -NR3R4, a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group having 3 to 5 carbon atoms or a nitrogen-containing heteroaryl group having 3 to 5 carbon atoms, [0051] R3 and R4 are each independently an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and [0052] R5 is an alkylene group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
[0053] Since the second additive represented by Chemical Formula 2 includes a propargyl functional group, the functional group is reduced and decomposed to form an SET film having high passivation ability on the surface of the negative electrode, thereby improving the high temperature durability of the negative electrode itself and preventing the electrodeposition of transition metals on the surface of the negative electrode. In addition, due to the propargyl group, it is possible to be adsorbed on the surface of the metallic impurity contained in the positive electrode and function to make the elution of the impurity difficult, thereby suppressing an internal short circuit that may occur due to deposition of the eluted metal ion on the negative electrode.
[0054] Furthermore, since the second additive has a higher potential at which the reduction reaction occurs at the negative electrode as compared with the first additive, a second additive Date Recue/Date Received 2024-02-23 is first consumed at the time of initial charging to form a film on the negative electrode, so that a large amount of unreduced first additive remains in the initial charging, and then a film is formed on the surface of the positive electrode by oxidative decomposition of the first additive at a high potential, and side reactions between the positive electrode and the electrolyte are suppressed, whereby the gas reduction effect may be maximized.
[0055] Specifically, the reduction potential of the first additive may be 1.1V
to 1.3V, and the reduction potential of the second additive may be in a range of 1.5V to 1.7V.
In the present invention, the reductive potential may be the reduction decomposition potential and measured by the method described in Experimental Example 1 below.
[0056] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second additive may be represented by the following Chemical Formula 2-1 or 2-2.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second additive may be represented by the following Chemical Formula 2A.
[0064] [Chemical Formula 2A1 N, [0065] In one embodiment of the present invention, the content of the second additive may be in a range of 0.01 wt% to 5 wt%, preferably 0.5 wt% to 3 wt%, more preferably 1.5 wt% to 2.5 wt%, based on the total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte.

For example, the organic solvent may be a cyclic carbonate-based solvent, a linear carbonate-based solvent, a linear ester-based solvent, a cyclic ester-based solvent, a nitrile-based solvent, or a mixture thereof, preferably mixtures of a cyclic carbonate-based solvent and a linear carbonate-based solvent.

[0093] (4) Lithium Salt [0094] The non-aqueous electrolyte of the present invention includes a lithium salt.
[0095] As the lithium salt, those commonly used in electrolytes for lithium secondary batteries may be used without limitation, specifically, the lithium salt may include Li as a cation, and one or more selected from F-, a, Br, r, NO3-, N(CN)2-, BEI-, C104-, BioClio-, AlC14-, Alat-, PF6-, CF3S03-, CH3CO2-, CF3CO2-, AsF6-, SbF6-, CH3S03-, (CF3CF2S02)2N-, (CF3S02)2N-, (FS02)21\1-, BF2C204-, BC408-, BF2C204CHF-, PF4C204-, PF2C408-, P02F2-, (CF3)2PF4-, (CF3)3PF3-, (CF3)413F2-, (CF3)5PF-, (CF3)613-, C4F9S03-, CF3CF2S03-, CF3CF2(CF3)2C0-, (CF3S02)2CH-, CF3(CF2)7S03- and SCN- as anions.

[0098] Positive Electrode [0099] A lithium secondary battery according to the present invention includes a positive electrode including a positive electrode active material including a lithium composite transition metal oxide having a nickel content of 70 mol% or more among a total transition metal content.
[00100] In the case of a high-Ni positive electrode active material having a high nickel content of 70 mol% or more among the total transition metal content, since the positive electrode active material is structurally unstable, disintegration and cracking of the positive electrode active .. material may occur at high temperatures and high potentials. In the case of an active material that disintegrates in this way, as the surface area increases, the number of sites where a side reaction with the electrolyte can occur increases, thereby generating a large amount of gas when exposed to high temperature/high potential. When the gas is continuously generated as described above, the internal pressure of the battery increases and a vent occurs early, and the battery stops working before the lifespan of the battery is exhausted, so it is important to improve these side reactions and gas generation, which may be improved by strengthening the film formation through the non-aqueous electrolyte including the first and second additives of the present invention.
[00101] In one embodiment of the present invention, the lithium composite transition metal oxide may be represented by the following Chemical Formula 3.

[00109] The positive electrode active material may be present in an amount of 80 wt% to 99 wt%, specifically, 90 wt% to 99 wt%, based on the total weight of solids in the positive electrode slurry. At this time, when the content of the positive electrode active material is 80 wt % or less, energy density may be lowered, and thus capacity may be lowered.
[00110] The binder is a component that assists in bonding of the active material and the conductive material and bonding to the current collector, and may be added in an amount of 1 wt% to 30 wt%, based on the total weight of solids in the positive electrode slurry.

The negative electrode current collector is not particularly limited as long as it has conductivity without causing a chemical change in the battery, and for example, copper, stainless steel;
aluminum; nickel; titanium; calcinated carbon; or copper or stainless steel surface-treated with carbon, nickel, titanium, silver, etc.; or an aluminum-cadmium alloy may be used. In addition, like the positive electrode current collector, fine irregularities may be formed on a surface of the negative electrode current collector to strengthen the adhesion with the negative electrode active material, and may take various forms such as films, sheets, foils, nets, porous materials, foams, non-woven materials, etc.

ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS
[0023] The lithium secondary battery according to the present invention can exhibit excellent high-temperature stability by including an electrolyte including a combination of specific additives while including a high-nickel (High-Ni) positive electrode active material.
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
[0024] Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail.
[0025] In general, anions included in lithium salts such as LiPF6, which are widely used in electrolytes for lithium secondary batteries, form decomposition products such as hydrogen fluoride (HF) and PF5 due to thermal decomposition or moisture. These decomposition products have acid properties and deteriorate the film or electrode surface in the battery.
[0026] Due to the decomposition product of the electrolyte and the structural change of the positive electrode due to repeated charging and discharging, etc., the transition metals in the positive electrode are easily eluted into the electrolyte, and the eluted transition metal is redeposited again on the positive electrode to increase the resistance of the positive electrode.
Date Recue/Date Received 2024-02-23 In addition, when the eluted transition metal moves to the negative electrode through the electrolyte, electrodeposition on the negative electrode causes destruction of the solid electrolyte interphase (SET) film and an additional electrolytic decomposition reaction, which cause problems such as consumption of lithium ions and increased resistance.
[0027] In addition, upon initial activation of the battery, a protective film is formed on the positive electrode and the negative electrode by an electrolyte reaction, and when the film becomes unstable for the above reason, further decomposition of the electrolyte occurs upon charging and discharging or high-temperature exposure to promote degradation of the battery and generate gas.
[0028] In particular, in the case of a battery including a positive electrode active material having a high nickel content, initial capacity characteristics are improved, but when charging and discharging are repeated, lithium by-products and gas generation due to side reactions may increase, and the decomposition reaction of the electrolyte may be intensified.
[0029] In order to solve this problem, the present inventors included a first additive represented by the following Chemical Formula 1 and a second additive in which a reduction reaction occurs at a higher potential than the first additive in the non-aqueous electrolyte, and this allows the gas reduction effect of the first additive to be maximized by first forming a film of the second additive during initial charging. Further, in the case of the second additive, by inhibiting the formation of HF by binding to PF5, it is possible to prevent the destruction of the cathode electrolyte interphase (CET) film formed on the positive electrode surface due to the first additive, thereby maximizing the effect of the first additive, and inhibiting additional electrolyte decomposition reaction.
[0030] Hereinafter, each configuration constituting the present invention will be described in more detail.
Date Recue/Date Received 2024-02-23 [0031] Non-Aqueous Electrolyte [0032] The lithium secondary battery according to the present disclosure includes a non-aqueous electrolyte including a lithium salt, an organic solvent, a first additive represented by the following Chemical Formula 1 and a second additive represented by the following Chemical Formula 2.
[0033] Hereinafter, each component of the non-aqueous electrolyte will be specifically described.
(1) First Additive and Second Additive [0034] The non-aqueous electrolyte of the present invention includes a first additive represented by the following Chemical Formula 1.
[0035] [Chemical Formula 11 [0036] wherein, [0037] R1 and R2 are each independently a direct bond; or an alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
[0038] Because the first additive represented by Chemical Formula 1 has a structure including succinic anhydride, a film is formed on the negative electrode during initial charging, and thereafter, since the film can be formed while being decomposed on the positive electrode surface in a high potential state, it is effective for reducing the amount of gas generated in the Date Recue/Date Received 2024-02-23 battery.
[0039] In one embodiment of the present invention, R1 and R2 in Chemical Formula 1 are each independently a direct bond; or a straight-chain or branched alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, R1 and R2 in Chemical Formula 1 are each independently a direct bond; or a straight-chain alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, R1 and R2 in Chemical Formula 1 are each independently a direct bond; or a methylene group.
[0042] In one embodiment of the present invention, in Chemical Formula 1, R1 may be a direct bond, and R2 may be an alkylene group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms.
[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, in Chemical Formula 1, R1 may be a direct bond, and R2 may be a methylene group.
[0044] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first additive may be represented by the following Chemical Formula 1A.
[0045] [Chemical Formula 1A1 [0046] In one embodiment of the present invention, the content of the first additive may be in a range of 0.01 wt% to 5 wt%, preferably 0.5 wt% to 3 wt%, more preferably 1.5 wt% to 2.5 wt%, based on the total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte. It is preferable that the content Date Recue/Date Received 2024-02-23 of the first additive is 5 wt % or less in terms of reducing gas generated during battery driving and minimizing an increase in battery resistance.

[0048] [Chemical Formula 21 [0049] wherein, [0050] A is -NR3R4, a nitrogen-containing heterocyclic group having 3 to 5 carbon atoms or a nitrogen-containing heteroaryl group having 3 to 5 carbon atoms, [0051] R3 and R4 are each independently an alkyl group having 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and [0052] R5 is an alkylene group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
[0053] Since the second additive represented by Chemical Formula 2 includes a propargyl functional group, the functional group is reduced and decomposed to form an SET film having high passivation ability on the surface of the negative electrode, thereby improving the high temperature durability of the negative electrode itself and preventing the electrodeposition of transition metals on the surface of the negative electrode. In addition, due to the propargyl group, it is possible to be adsorbed on the surface of the metallic impurity contained in the positive electrode and function to make the elution of the impurity difficult, thereby suppressing an internal short circuit that may occur due to deposition of the eluted metal ion on the negative electrode.
[0054] Furthermore, since the second additive has a higher potential at which the reduction reaction occurs at the negative electrode as compared with the first additive, a second additive Date Recue/Date Received 2024-02-23 is first consumed at the time of initial charging to form a film on the negative electrode, so that a large amount of unreduced first additive remains in the initial charging, and then a film is formed on the surface of the positive electrode by oxidative decomposition of the first additive at a high potential, and side reactions between the positive electrode and the electrolyte are suppressed, whereby the gas reduction effect may be maximized.
[0055] Specifically, the reduction potential of the first additive may be 1.1V
to 1.3V, and the reduction potential of the second additive may be in a range of 1.5V to 1.7V.
In the present invention, the reductive potential may be the reduction decomposition potential and measured by the method described in Experimental Example 1 below.
[0056] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second additive may be represented by the following Chemical Formula 2-1 or 2-2.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present invention, the second additive may be represented by the following Chemical Formula 2A.
[0064] [Chemical Formula 2A1 N, [0065] In one embodiment of the present invention, the content of the second additive may be in a range of 0.01 wt% to 5 wt%, preferably 0.5 wt% to 3 wt%, more preferably 1.5 wt% to 2.5 wt%, based on the total weight of the non-aqueous electrolyte.

[00100] In the case of a high-Ni positive electrode active material having a high nickel content of 70 mol% or more among the total transition metal content, since the positive electrode active material is structurally unstable, disintegration and cracking of the positive electrode active .. material may occur at high temperatures and high potentials. In the case of an active material that disintegrates in this way, as the surface area increases, the number of sites where a side reaction with the electrolyte can occur increases, thereby generating a large amount of gas when exposed to high temperature/high potential. When the gas is continuously generated as described above, the internal pressure of the battery increases and a vent occurs early, and the battery stops working before the lifespan of the battery is exhausted, so it is important to improve these side reactions and gas generation, which may be improved by strengthening the film formation through the non-aqueous electrolyte including the first and second additives of the present invention.
