Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of new energy, and relates to electrolyte, secondary battery and power utilization equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, researchers have found that increasing the concentration of lithium salt in electrolyte can effectively widen the voltage stability window of electrolyte, because when the concentration of lithium salt is high, the solvation structure of lithium ions in electrolyte will change, and lithium ions and anions in electrolyte are more likely to coordinate to form contact ion pairs (CIPs) and ion aggregates (AGGs). However, increasing the concentration of lithium salt in electrolyte not only makes electrolyte more viscous, affecting its performance in low-temperature environment and wettability with separators, but also brings about non-negligible raw material cost.

[0003] In order to solve the above problems existing in high-concentration electrolyte (HCEs), researchers have proposed local high-concentration electrolyte (LHCEs). At present, hydrofluoroether compounds are mainly used as diluents, but the ion conductivity of the electrode / electrolyte interface layer with LiF as the main component induced by the hydrofluoroether compounds is low, which is not conducive to the conduction of lithium ions at the interface, and further not conducive to the rate performance of the battery. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a technology to effectively solve the above problems existing in diluents. SUMMARY

[0004] Based on the above problems, the purpose of the present application is to provide an electrolyte, a secondary battery and a power utilization equipment, which aims to reduce the viscosity of electrolyte while inheriting the CIPs and AGGs solvation structure characteristics inherent in high-concentration electrolyte, improve the conduction of lithium ions at the interface between electrode and electrolyte, and improve the rate performance of the battery.

[0021] In the third aspect of the present application, a power consumption device is provided, including the secondary battery of the second aspect, and the secondary battery serves as a power supply of the power consumption device.

[0022] The application has the beneficial effects that by adding the specific halogenated tertiary butyl ether diluent in the electrolyte, the electrolyte can not only inherit the contact ion pair and ion aggregate solvation structure characteristics of high concentration electrolyte, effectively reduce the viscosity of the electrolyte, but also improve the flame retardance of the electrolyte, induce the production of LiF and other halides of Li at the interface between the electrode and the electrolyte, wherein the LiF can make the mechanical strength and density of the interface film higher, prevent the continuous side reaction of the electrolyte and the electrode, and inhibit the generation of lithium dendrites; the other halides of Li have a lower ion diffusion barrier, which can promote the transmission behavior of lithium ions at the interface and improve the rate performance of the battery.
