The invention belongs to the field of
lithium ion batteries, and particularly discloses a high-temperature
electrolyte which comprises the following components in percentage by weight: 2-20% of
lithium salt; 0.01%-20% of a high-temperature additive; 70%-90% of a non-aqueous
organic solvent; and 0.1%-10% of other additives. The invention also provides a
lithium battery which comprises a positive
electrode, a negative
electrode, a diaphragm and the
electrolyte. The high-temperature additive added into the
electrolyte contains a large number of anhydride groups, can form an interface film with good and stable performance on the surface of an
electrode in battery circulation, inhibits
dissolution of positive electrode
metal ions at high temperature, participates in formation of a passive film on the surface of a negative electrode, modifies the structure and components of an SEI film, and improves the high-temperature and circulation performance of the battery; the introduced
sulfonate group can form a stable SEI film on the surface of the negative electrode, the impedance of the SEI film is not increased after high-temperature storage, the capacity
recovery rate is relatively high, and the high-
temperature cycling stability of the battery is improved.
