Up to 120.7 mAh was lower. This means that the recovery capacity at a high temperature of 45° C. is improved by the electrolyte additive of the present invention, thereby improving the recovery capacity efficiency of the battery during long-term storage in a high temperature environment by the electrolyte additive of the present invention. could check

In addition, in the high temperature life efficiency evaluation result, the secondary battery using the electrolyte additive of the present invention showed 87.9 to 89.1%, whereas in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, 71.2% and 75.4%, compared to the example of the present invention. It can be seen that the maximum is 17.9%p (% points) lower. This means that by using the electrolyte additive of the present invention, the capacity retention rate of the battery is improved while repeating 300 cycles at a high temperature of 45° C. compared to when only the conventional electrolyte additive is used. It can be seen that the cycle characteristics and life efficiency of

Therefore, when the electrolyte additive according to the embodiments of the present invention, and the electrolyte containing the same, are applied to a secondary battery, the charging resistance, output, recovery capacity and life efficiency are improved, and it is found that it is suitable for use as a secondary battery for automobiles. can
