Method for producing electrolyte solution for lithium ion battery and lithium ion battery using same

Disclosed is a method for producing an electrolyte solution for lithium ion batteries which uses lithium hexafluorophosphate as the electrolyte. This method does not use an anhydrous hydrogen fluoride solvent which is hard to handle, or require expensive equipment or complicated operations. In addition, this method enables to produce an electrolyte solution using lithium hexafluorophosphate as the electrolyte at low cost without performing a crystallization process. Also disclosed is a lithium ion battery using an electrolyte solution obtained by such a method. Specifically disclosed is a method for producing an electrolyte solution for lithium ion batteries using lithium hexafluorophosphate as the electrolyte, which comprises a step wherein phosphorus trichloride, chlorine and lithium chloride are reacted in a nonaqueous organic solvent, and another step wherein the reaction product produced in the solvent is reacted with hydrogen fluoride.
