NON-AQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE AND ELECTROCHEMICAL DEVICE WITH AN IMPROVED SAFETY

摘要

Disclosed are a non-aqueous electrolyte comprising a lithium salt and a solvent, the electrolyte containing, based on the weight of the electrolyte, 1-10 wt % of a compound of Formula (1) or its decomposition product, and 1-10 wt % of an aliphatic di-nitrile compound, as well as an electrochemical device comprising the non-aqueous electrolyte. Also disclosed is an electrochemical device comprising: a cathode having a complex formed between a surface of a cathode active material and an aliphatic di-nitrile compound; and a non-aqueous electrolyte containing 1-10 wt % of a compound of Formula (1) or its decomposition product based on the weight of the electrolyte.
