LIQUID ELECTROLYTE FOR LITHIUM BATTERY AND LITHIUM BATTERY

An object of the present invention is to provide a liquid electrolyte for a lithium battery in which lowering of reactivity of a Li ion and an electrode active material due to a glyme is suppressed. In the present invention, the above object is achieved by providing a liquid electrolyte for a lithium battery comprising: a glyme represented by general formula: R 1 -O(CH 2 CH 2 O) n -R 2 (in which R 1 and R 2 each independently represent an alkyl group with 4 or less carbon atoms or a fluoroalkyl group with 4 or less carbon atoms, and n is in the range of 2 to 10); a Li amide salt having a Li ion and a sulfonylamide anion; and a fluoride salt represented by XF (in which X represents Li, Na, K, Rb, or Cs).
