Abstract

The invention relates to a non-aqueous electrolyte which contains lithium salt and organic solvent which are taken as electrolyte, wherein, the electrolyte also contains weak acid salt of lithium. By adding the weak acid salt of lithium into the non-aqueous electrolyte, the invention can remarkably reduce the content of free acid in the electrolyte and can control the content of the free acid in the electrolyte within 30 ppm. Besides, hydrofluoric acid is unlikely to repeatedly generated due to water entering even when the invention is stored for a long time. In addition, a cell manufactured by adopting the electrolyte provided by the invention has good cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance. The invention also presents improved discharge performance of large current and discharge capacity under normal temperature.
