[0227]

[0228] It can be seen from the data in Table 2 and Table 3 that the electrochemical performance of the lithium ion batteries (Application Examples 1-20) prepared using the lithium ion battery electrolytes provided by the embodiments of the present invention is significantly higher than the electrochemical performance of the lithium ion batteries (Comparative Application Examples 1-8) prepared using the comparative lithium ion battery electrolytes.

[0229] Specifically, comparative application examples 1-3 are comparative experiments of application example 1, which mainly investigate the effect of the addition of monocyano compounds and / or tricyano compounds on battery performance. From the experimental data of application example 1 and comparative application examples 1-3 in Table 2-3, it can be seen that the simultaneous addition of monocyano compounds and tricyano compounds can significantly improve the high-temperature storage performance and high-temperature cycle performance of the battery, and reduce the amount of cobalt dissolution from the negative electrode. In addition, the battery's room temperature cycle performance is slightly better or equivalent, while the single addition of monocyano compounds or tricyano compounds cannot achieve such an obvious effect.

[0230] Comparative Application Examples 4-5 are also comparative experiments of Application Example 1, which mainly investigate the effect of the combination of dicyano compounds and tricyano compounds on battery performance. From the data in Tables 2-3, it can be seen that the addition of the combination of dicyano compounds and tricyano compounds significantly reduces the performance of the battery in all aspects. It can be seen that there is a certain synergistic relationship between the monocyano compound and the tricyano compound in the present invention. Only through the joint action of the two can the high-temperature storage performance and high-temperature cycle performance of the battery be significantly improved, and the amount of cobalt dissolution of the negative electrode be reduced. In addition, the battery room temperature cycle performance is slightly better or equivalent.

[0231] Comparative Application Examples 6-8 are also comparative experiments of Application Example 1, which mainly examine the effect of the amount of monocyano compound or tricyano compound. It can be seen from the relevant experimental data in Tables 2-3 that when the amount of monocyano compound or tricyano compound added is too much, the battery performance is affected, and when the amount added is too little, no effect is achieved.

[0232] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the pending claims of the present invention.
