[0036] The beneficial effects of this application are:
[0037] This application provides an electrolyte additive, an electrolyte, and a secondary battery. The electrolyte additive comprises a first component and a second component. When used alone in an electrolyte, the first component generates a large amount of lithium-containing inorganic components (including lithium fluoride, lithium sulfate, etc.). While this improves the high-temperature stability of the solid electrolyte interfacial membrane, it also increases the impedance of the solid electrolyte interfacial membrane. Adding the second component to the electrolyte additive simultaneously eliminates some of the lithium-containing inorganic components. Furthermore, the silicon-oxygen components in the second component can compensate for the reduced stability caused by the decrease in lithium-containing inorganic components. Thus, without affecting the stability of the solid electrolyte interfacial membrane, it can reduce impedance and provide lithium-ion channels, accelerating lithium-ion transport. In addition, the second component can eliminate byproducts in the electrolyte and reduce the gas generation problem caused by the first component. The electrolyte additive of this application, comprising both the first and second components, works synergistically to improve the high-temperature storage performance and cycle life of the secondary battery.
[0038] Preferably, the electrolyte additive of this application may further include a third component. The third component can generate a flexible solid electrolyte interface film with good compatibility with the lithium-containing inorganic components formed by the first component. While improving the flexibility of the solid electrolyte interface film, it also improves its stability (the third component generates a flexible solid electrolyte interface film, and the large amount of lithium-containing inorganic components generated by the first component can serve as a framework to improve stability), thus better isolating side reactions at the battery interface. Simultaneously, the second component can eliminate some of the lithium-containing inorganic components, and the silicon-oxygen components in the second component can replace the negative effect of reduced stability caused by the reduction of lithium-containing inorganic components. Therefore, without affecting the stability of the solid electrolyte interface film, it reduces impedance and provides lithium-ion channels to accelerate lithium-ion transport. Preferably, the electrolyte additive of this application simultaneously includes the first, second, and third components. The synergistic effect of the first, second, and third components can better improve the high-temperature storage performance and cycle life of the secondary battery.
[0039] Of course, implementing any product or method of this application does not necessarily require achieving all of the advantages described above at the same time. Detailed Implementation
[0040] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on this application are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0041] A first aspect of this application provides an electrolyte additive comprising a first component and a second component;
[0042] The first component is selected from the compounds shown in Formula I;
[0043]
[0044] The second component is selected from the compounds shown in Formula II;
[0045]
[0046] R1 is selected from halogens, unsubstituted or halogen-substituted C1-C6 alkyl groups;
[0047] R2 is selected from nitrogen or C6-C. 12 Alpha-aryl;

[0053] The first component of this application is a sulfonyl additive. The SC or SN bonds in this additive are easily broken, generating lithium-containing inorganic components (including LiF and Li₂SO₄) that are beneficial for improving the solid electrolyte interfacial film. A robust solid electrolyte interfacial film can also prevent the dissolution of transition metal ions and reduce side reactions at the battery interface. However, this additive is prone to hydrolysis, generating components that damage the solid electrolyte interfacial film. Furthermore, the breaking of SN or SC bonds can generate easily decomposed gaseous byproducts, which significantly affect the high-temperature performance of the battery. The second component of this application is an effective film-forming additive that can participate in the construction of a stable solid electrolyte interfacial film. It can eliminate HF / H₂O in the electrolyte, reducing the destructive effect of HF on electrode materials. This additive molecule contains silane components, which eliminate LiF components in the interfacial film, removing excess LiF and reducing battery impedance. Simultaneously, the numerous Si-O bonds in the second component have good stability, thus offsetting the negative impact of LiF elimination. The electrolyte additive of this application comprises both a first component and a second component. The second component can eliminate some of the lithium-containing inorganic components generated by the first component, and the silicon-oxygen component in the second component can replace the negative effect of reduced stability caused by the reduction of lithium-containing inorganic components. Thus, without affecting the stability of the solid electrolyte interfacial film, it reduces impedance and provides lithium-ion channels, accelerating lithium-ion transport. Furthermore, the second component can eliminate byproducts in the electrolyte and reduce gas generation problems caused by the first component. In summary, the electrolyte additive of this application comprises both a first component and a second component, and the synergistic effect of the first and second components can improve the high-temperature storage performance and cycle life of the secondary battery.
[0054] In one embodiment of this application, the mass ratio of the first component to the second component is (0.05–20):1, preferably (0.5–3):1.

By limiting the mass ratio of the first component and the second component to the above range, the first component and the second component can better exert their synergistic effect, further improving the high-temperature storage performance and cycle life of the secondary battery.

The salt additives can generate more lithium-containing components on the interface film surface, which is beneficial for lithium-ion transport and also fills the interface film, making it more dense. The first, second, and third components are used together, and the resulting dense interface film can better isolate the dissolution of transition metal ions. In summary, the electrolyte additive of this application simultaneously includes a first, second, and third component. The synergistic effect of the first, second, and third components can better improve the high-temperature storage performance and cycle life of the secondary battery.

[0074] In one embodiment of this application, the mass percentage of the first component is A, based on the mass of the electrolyte, where 0.1% ≤ A ≤ 2%, preferably 0.5% ≤ A ≤ 1.5%. For example, based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage A of the first component can be 0.1%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, or a range consisting of any two of these values.
[0075] In one embodiment of this application, the mass percentage of the second component, B, is 0.1% ≤ B ≤ 1.5%, preferably 0.5% ≤ B ≤ 1%, based on the mass of the electrolyte.
