[0036] In the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, the functional groups of all compounds may be substituted or unsubstituted.

[0037] (Electrolyte)

[0039] In some embodiments, the electrolyte comprises a first additive and a second additive:

[0040] The first additive includes at least one of the compound represented by Formula I and the compound represented by Formula II:

[0041]

[0042] Among them, R1-R 11 independently selected from hydrogen, halogen, cyano, nitro, sulfonic acid, aldehyde, hydroxyl, amino, carboxyl, silicon, substituted or unsubstituted C 1-6 Alkoxy, substituted or unsubstituted C 1-6 Alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted C 2-6 Alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted C 2-6 Alkynyl or substituted or unsubstituted C 6-12 at least one of aryl groups, wherein, when substituted, the substituent is a halogen;

[0043] The second additive comprises a polynitrile compound represented by formula III:

[0044]

[0045] Wherein, M1 and M2 are independently selected from halogen, Formula IV, and Formula V;

[0046]

[0049] The polynitrile compound shown in formula III can effectively improve the stability of the positive electrode interface, but it has a certain destructive effect on the stability of the SEI film of the negative electrode. The anhydride compound shown in formula I or formula II can itself be used as a negative electrode interface protective substance. It will form a dense SEI film at the negative electrode interface, which can prevent the polynitrile compound additive from damaging the negative electrode interface and reduce the negative electrode interface side reactions. The combination of the two can not only stabilize the positive electrode interface, but also protect the negative electrode interface, thereby achieving the effect of improving the long-cycle stability of lithium-ion batteries.

[0050] Therefore, the first additive can form a stable passivation film at the negative electrode interface, inhibiting the damage of the polynitrile compound additive to the negative electrode interface. The two are used together to inhibit the flatulence of lithium-ion batteries under high-temperature storage, and ensure the long-cycle stability of lithium-ion batteries, thereby improving the safety performance of lithium-ion batteries.

[0051] In some embodiments, the first additive includes at least one of the following compounds:

[0052]

Combining the additives within the above range can significantly improve the capacity retention rate, high temperature storage expansion rate, and safety performance of the lithium-ion battery.

[0055] In some embodiments, the electrolyte further includes a third additive, and the third additive includes at least one of fluoroethylene carbonate, vinyl ethylene carbonate, vinylene carbonate, 1,3-propane sultone, 1,3-dioxane, 1,4-dioxane, lithium dioxalatoborate, and lithium tetrafluoroborate.

[0056] On the basis of adding the first additive and the second additive to the electrolyte, the third additive is introduced, the cycle retention rate of the lithium-ion battery is significantly increased, and the expansion during high-temperature storage is significantly improved. The reason may be that the third additive, as a negative electrode protection additive, will generate a dense and flexible SEI film at the negative electrode, which can be quickly repaired during the cycle, effectively preventing the damage of the polynitrile compound additive to the negative electrode, reducing the negative electrode interface side reactions, and achieving the effect of improving the long-cycle stability of the lithium-ion battery and improving the high-temperature storage performance of the lithium-ion battery, thereby improving the safety performance of the lithium-ion battery.

[0057] In some embodiments, based on the total weight of the electrolyte, the mass percentage C of the third additive is 0.5-10%.

The corresponding electrolyte is injected, and the preparation of the lithium-ion battery is completed after vacuum packaging, standing, formation, shaping, and other processes.

[0112] In Examples 1-1 to 1-19, Examples 2-1 to 2-11, Examples 3-1 to 3-11 and Comparative Example 1-3, the types and contents of the additives used are shown in the data in Tables 1 to 3, wherein the content of each additive is the mass percentage calculated based on the total mass of the electrolyte.

[0113] Next, the performance test process and test results of lithium-ion batteries are described.

[0114] (1) Cyclic performance test

[0115] At 45°C, charge the lithium-ion battery at 1C constant current to 4.45V, then charge at constant voltage to a current of 0.5C, at which point the battery is fully charged; let the battery rest for 30 minutes, then discharge at 1C constant current to 3.0V, and let it rest for 30 minutes, this is a cycle charge and discharge process, record the discharge capacity at this time, which is the first cycle discharge capacity. Perform a cyclic charge and discharge test on the lithium-ion battery according to the above method, record the discharge capacity after each cycle, until the cycle reaches 300, stop the test, and record the discharge capacity at this time, which is the discharge capacity of the 300th cycle.

[0116] Lithium-ion battery capacity retention rate (%) = discharge capacity after 300 cycles / first cycle discharge capacity × 100%.

[0117] (2) High temperature storage performance test

[0118] At 25°C, the lithium-ion battery is charged to 3.95V at 1C constant current, then charged to 0.5C at constant voltage, the lithium-ion battery is half-charged, and the thickness of the battery at this time is recorded as t mm; then charged to 4.45V at 1C constant current, then charged to 0.5C at constant voltage, the lithium-ion battery is fully charged, the battery is placed in a 60°C constant temperature box for high-temperature storage, taken out after 15 days of storage, cooled to 25°C, and the lithium-ion battery is tested for thickness, and the thickness of the battery at this time is recorded as T mm. Lithium-ion battery thickness expansion rate (%) = (Tt) / t×100%.

[0120]

[0121]

[0122] It can be seen from Comparative Examples 1-1 to 1-3 and Examples 1-1 to 1-20 in Table 1 that increasing the content of anhydride compounds in the electrolyte significantly improves the cycle performance of lithium-ion batteries; as the content of polynitrile compounds increases, the high-temperature storage expansion rate of lithium-ion batteries is affected; the combination of the first additive and the second additive within the preferred range has a significant improvement effect on the capacity retention rate and the high-temperature storage expansion rate. The combination of the two can achieve the effect of improving the long-cycle stability of lithium-ion batteries and improving the high-temperature storage performance of lithium-ion batteries. The protective effect of anhydride compounds and polynitrile compounds on the negative and positive electrode interfaces can prevent the internal active materials of lithium-ion batteries from contacting with the current collector in a high-temperature environment to generate sparks, ignite the electrolyte, and thus improve the safety performance of lithium-ion batteries.

[0123] Table 2 Parameters of Examples 1-3, 2-1 to 2-11

[0124]

[0125]

[0126] It can be seen from Examples 1-3, 2-1 to 2-11 in Table 2 that, after the third additive is introduced into the electrolyte on the basis of adding the first additive and the second additive, the long cycle retention rate of the lithium ion battery is significantly increased, and the expansion of the lithium ion battery during high temperature storage is significantly reduced. The third additive, as a negative electrode protection additive, will generate a dense and flexible SEI film at the negative electrode, which is quickly repaired during the cycle, effectively preventing the multinitrile compound from damaging the negative electrode interface, reducing the negative electrode interface side reactions, and achieving the effect of improving the long cycle stability of the lithium ion battery and improving the high temperature storage performance, thereby improving the safety performance of the lithium ion battery.

[0127] Table 3 Parameters of Examples 1-3 and Examples 3-1 to 3-11

[0128]

[0129]

[0130] It can be seen from Examples 1-3 and Examples 3-1 to 3-11 in Table 3 that when a high-valent metal element is used to modify the positive electrode material, it is more conducive to the transmission of lithium ions inside the lithium-ion battery, reduces the side reaction between the positive electrode material and the electrolyte, and achieves the effect of improving the long-cycle stability and high-temperature storage performance of the lithium-ion battery, as well as enhancing the safety performance of the lithium-ion battery.
