The invention relates to a
lithium battery electrolyte and a
lithium ion battery, and mainly solves the problems of poor normal-temperature cycle performance, high-temperature shelving gas production and low low-temperature
discharge efficiency of the
lithium ion battery. The
electrolyte comprises a
solvent, a lithium salt and an additive, the additive comprises a
phosphorus-containing additive, and the
phosphorus-containing additive is one or more of compounds shown in a general formula (1), in the general formula (1), # imgabs 0 # R1, R2, R3 and R4 are independently
alkyl, fluoroalkyl, alkoxy, fluoroalkoxy, alkenyl, fluoroalkenyl, alkenyloxy, fluoroalkenyloxy, alkynyl, fluoroalkynyl,
aryl, aryloxy, cyano,
silane,
ether silicon group or amido, A represents a
structural formula 1: # imgabs 1 #
structural formula 2: # imgabs 2 # or a
structural formula 3: # imgabs 3 # m > = 0, n > = 0, R5 represents H, F or
alkyl, R6 represents O, S or = CxH2x, R7 represents-CxH2x-, and x > = 1. The invention well solves the common problems in the
lithium ion battery, and can be used in the industrial production of the
lithium battery.
