The invention belongs to the technical field of
lithium ion batteries, and relates to a cyano
electrolyte additive, an
electrolyte and a
lithium ion battery. The cyano
electrolyte additive comprises a
nitrile additive and a functional additive; the
structural formula of the functional additive is shown in the specification. The
nitrile additive and the functional additive are compounded, the functional additive has a cyano group and a
triazine ring, the
triazine ring is chelated with
transition metal ions and cooperates with the cyano group to form a film, and a
benzene ring
rigid structure can enhance the
thermal stability. The
nitrile additive and the functional additive have a cyano
complementation effect, three phenyl groups in the functional additive are connected with a
triazine ring, so that the functional additive has a larger structure and steric hindrance and cannot be completely complexed with
transition metal ions on the surface of the positive
electrode, and the short-chain nitrile additive has a smaller structure and can make up the space of the functional additive; and the two synergistically form a complementary effect to form a compact interfacial film on the surface of the positive
electrode so as to improve the high-temperature performance.
