The lithium ion battery comprising the electrolyte can achieve the objective of high voltage and the highest normal working voltage can be improved to 4.4V-5.0V; in addition, the cycle performance of the lithium ion battery is excellent and the capacity retention ratios during charging and discharging can be both high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of lithium ion batteries, in particular to an electrolyte and a lithium ion battery including the electrolyte. Background technique [0002] In recent years, with the rapid development of smart electronic products, higher requirements have been placed on the battery life of lithium-ion batteries. In order to increase the energy density of lithium-ion batteries, developing high-voltage lithium-ion batteries is one of the effective methods. [0003] At present, lithium-ion batteries with an operating voltage above 4.4V have become a research hotspot for many scientific research institutes and enterprises. However, under high voltage, the oxidation activity of the positive electrode material increases and the stability decreases, which leads to the electrochemical oxidation reaction of the non-aqueous electrolyte on the surface of the positive electrode, and then decomposes to generate gas. At the same time, ...
