The invention provides an
electrolyte and a secondary battery, the
electrolyte comprises a
solvent, an additive and an
electrolyte, the
solvent comprises fluoroethylene
carbonate, a compound as shown in a formula I and a compound as shown in a formula II, the
mass ratio of fluoroethylene
carbonate to fluorochain ester is 1: (0.33-4), the
mass ratio of the compound as shown in the formula I to the compound as shown in the formula II is 1: (0.33-3), and the additive and the electrolyte are used for preparing the electrolyte. Based on the
mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage A of the fluorinated
solvent is more than or equal to 20% and less than or equal to 80%; the additive comprises tetraethylene
silane, based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage of the tetraethylene
silane is M, and M is larger than or equal to 0.02% and smaller than or equal to 3%. Through the arrangement, the fluoroethylene
carbonate, the compound as shown in the formula I, the compound as shown in the formula II and the tetraethylene
silane have a synergistic effect, so that the electrolyte has proper
viscosity and relatively high
oxidation resistance, and meanwhile, the negative influence of defluorination on a positive
electrode can be improved; therefore, the high-temperature cycle performance and the high-temperature storage performance of the secondary battery under the high-pressure condition are improved.
