    Abstract: A lithium secondary battery including a negative electrode in which a negative electrode mixture included in the negative electrode is formed by charge and discharge of the battery. This negative electrode is formed by charge-induced formation of lithium metal on a negative electrode current collector having a three-dimensional structure form. The lithium secondary battery forms lithium metal while being blocked from the atmosphere. Therefore, formation of a surface oxide layer (native oxide layer) on a negative electrode is blocked and a lithium dendrite growth suppressing effect is achieved by forming lithium metal on a negative electrode current collector having a three-dimensional structure form. The lithium secondary battery has a superior battery efficiency and reduces declines in lifetime properties.

    Abstract: A lithium secondary battery including a positive electrode, a negative electrode comprising a negative electrode current collector, and an electrolyte interposed between the positive electrode and negative electrode. The lithium metal is formed on the negative electrode current collector by lithium ions migrating toward the negative electrode current collector after charge. The electrolyte comprises a sacrificial salt having an oxidation potential of 5 V or less with respect to lithium. The lithium secondary battery forms lithium metal while being blocked from the atmosphere, and thereby improves an existing problem caused by high reactivity of lithium metal. By including a sacrificial salt in an electrolyte, lithium consumption caused by an irreversible reaction of a negative electrode is reduced, which may prevent decline in the battery capacity and lifetime properties.

    Abstract: A lithium secondary battery including a positive electrode, a negative electrode comprising a negative electrode current collector, and an electrolyte disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode; and a lithium metal layer on the negative electrode current collector in the negative electrode. The electrolyte includes a first electrolyte layer and a second electrolyte disposed on the first electrolyte layer, wherein the first electrolyte layer faces the negative electrode, and the second electrolyte layer faces the positive electrode. The first electrolyte layer has higher ion conductivity than the second electrolyte layer, and wherein the lithium metal layer is formed by migration of lithium ions from the positive electrode after charging.
