Abstract

Abstract The present invention relates to a non-aqueous electrolyte additive for improving safety and a lithium secondary battery comprising the same, and more particularly to a non-aqueous electrolyte additive that can improve cycle life and safety properties of a lithium ion secondary battery. According to the present invention, an organometallic compound represented by the Chemical Formula 1 is added to a non-aqueous electrolyte of a battery as an additive, and thus if a battery voltage is out of normal operation voltage range due to a short circuit and overcharge of a battery, etc., the non-aqueous electrolyte additive decomposes and a part of the decomposed additive polymerizes to form an insulating film on a cathode surface, and a part of the metal reacts with an insulating film formed on a cathode surface to improve thermal stability of the battery, thereby improving safety of the battery. Furthermore, in case of a short circuit a part of the metal oxide of the additive is removed an activity of lithium or is reduced movement speed of lithium by reacting with lithium rushed from an anode to a cathode, and thus safety of the battery can be obtained on a short circuit by delaying a flow of current.
