The application discloses a
lithium ion battery, which comprises a positive
electrode, a negative
electrode, a diaphragm and an
electrolyte, the negative
electrode comprises a negative
electrode material, the negative
electrode material comprises a negative electrode active material and a
coating layer, the
coating layer comprises an
ion-conducting material, and the inorganic component in the
coating layer accounts for greater than or equal to 80 wt%; the
electrolyte comprises a non-aqueous
organic solvent and a
lithium salt, the non-aqueous
organic solvent comprises a
solvent with high
dielectric constant and low
viscosity and
ethylene carbonate, the
volume fraction of the
solvent with high
dielectric constant and low
viscosity in the non-aqueous
organic solvent is greater than or equal to 10%, and the
volume fraction of the
ethylene carbonate in the non-aqueous organic
solvent is less than or equal to 10%; and the concentration of
lithium bisfluorosulfonylimide and / or lithium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)
imide in the lithium salt is less than or equal to 0.1 mol / L. By matching the negative
electrode material with the specific type of coating layer and the
electrolyte with the specific composition, the
lithium ion battery has good fast-charging performance, and the risk of explosion and fire during
thermal runaway of the battery is reduced.
