Furthermore, each hydrogen atom in the saturated hydrocarbon group can be substituted.

[0026] In the present application, the alkenyl refers to an unsaturated hydrocarbon group with the corresponding number of carbon atoms, containing one or more carbon-carbon double bonds. For example, the alkenyl is selected from the group consisting of vinyl, n-propenyl, isopropenyl, n-but-2-enyl, but-3-enyl, n-hex-3-enyl, an aromatic hydrocarbon group, and the like. Furthermore, each hydrogen atom in the alkenyl can be substituted.

For example, the alkynyl is selected from the group consisting of ethynyl, n-propynyl, isopropynyl, n-but-2-ynyl, but-3-ynyl, n-hex-3-ynyl, and the like. Furthermore, each hydrogen atom in the alkenyl can be substituted.

[0028] In the present application, alkylene refers to a saturated linear or branched divalent group with the corresponding number of carbon atoms, derived from the corresponding alkane by removing two carbon atoms. Alkylene-phenyl refers to an alkylene bonded to an aryl group.

[0029] The phosphate additive for the electrolyte solution provided by the present application has a three-dimensional skeletal structure, as shown in Formula 1. It can not only participate in the formation of the SEI film, but also create cavity channels during the film-forming process and increase the porosity of the SEI film, which is advantageous for improving ion transport efficiency, reducing the influence of temperature on ion transport efficiency, and thereby improving the high-temperature and low-temperature performance of the battery.

[0030] In a specific embodiment, R1 is selected from the group consisting of alkylene-phenyl, substituted or unsubstituted saturated C1 to C10 hydrocarbon group, substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C10 alkenyl and substituted or unsubstituted C2 to C10 alkynyl, and the substituent is selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl, halogen and a combination thereof.

[0035] In one specific embodiment, the concentration of the first additive, taking into account its effectiveness, is not less than 0.1%. However, an excessive amount of the first additive increases the viscosity and ionic conductivity of the electrolyte solution, which affects the battery's capacity and impedance. Therefore, the mass fraction of the first additive in the electrolyte solution ranges from 0.1% to 10% of the total mass of the electrolyte solution; specifically, it can be 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 0.8%, 1.0%, 2.0%, 3.0%, 4.0%, 5.0%, 6.0%, 7.0%, 8.0%, 9.0%, or 10.0%, or any range between these two values.

The second additive is a film-forming additive, in particular selected from the group consisting of vinylene carbonate, ethylene sulfate, vinylethylene carbonate, 1,3-propanesultone, fluoroethylene carbonate, and a combination thereof. Based on the first additive, shown in Formula 1, the combined use with the second additive helps to further improve the high-temperature and low-temperature performance of the battery.

[0038] Furthermore, the second additive tends to generate significant gassing under high-temperature conditions, which affects the battery's high-temperature storage and cycle performance.

[0074] According to Table 3, the high-temperature and low-temperature performance of the lithium-ion batteries provided in Examples 1-9 and Comparative Examples 3-6 are better than those of Comparative Examples 1-2, suggesting that the additive helps improve the battery's high-temperature and low-temperature performance, particularly the low-temperature discharge performance. Based on Examples 1-9, it can be seen that additives with different structures influence the performance of the lithium-ion battery. For example, when the electrolyte solution contains a compound with the structure shown in Formula 1-4, the high-temperature performance of the lithium-ion battery is significantly improved, which is attributed to the high electronegativity of the F-cell and the high stability of the interface film formed.When the electrolyte solution contains compounds with the structures shown in Formulas 1-7 and 1-8, the cycle and storage performance of the lithium-ion battery are significantly improved. This is due to the electrophoretic polymerization of double or triple bonds, which form a dense interface film. The number of carbon atoms also influences the performance of the lithium-ion battery. For example, compounds with the structures shown in Formulas 1-1 to 1-3 result in better battery performance compared to compounds with the structures shown in Formulas 4-5. This is due to the porosity of the interface film being either too high or too low, resulting from the R1 carbon chain being too short or too long.For example, in a hydroxymethyl group, the chain is too short, creating larger cavities that allow more electrolyte solution to come into contact with the surface, leading to oxidative degradation and electrode polarization. Additionally, HF, formed from the degradation of the electrolyte solution, more readily corrodes the electrode, causing structural damage and resulting in reduced room temperature and high-temperature cycle performance and high-temperature storage performance. In a pentyl group, the chain is too long, creating lower porosity, making it difficult for Li+ to be transported across the interface, resulting in reduced low-temperature performance.

[0075] According to Examples 10-12 and Example 34, the high-temperature and low-temperature performance of the battery show similar effects when the composition of the non-aqueous organic solvent and the type of lithium salt in the basic electrolyte solution are different, which suggests that the compound represented by Formula 1 provided in the present application has good compatibility and is suitable for use in various electrolyte solutions.

[0076] According to Examples 13-16, the high-temperature and low-temperature performance of the battery improves when the additive content in the electrolyte solution gradually increases, as shown in Formula 1-1. However, when the additive content increases to 5%, the battery performance decreases. For this reason, the preferred range of the additive, as represented by Formula 1, is from 0.5% to 2%, and preferably 1%.

[0077] According to Examples 17-20 and Comparative Examples 7-9, the additive shown in Formula 1-1 exhibits good compatibility with the second additive, which helps to further improve the high-temperature and low-temperature performance of the battery, and the second additive is preferably vinylene carbonate VC.

[0078] According to Examples 21-33, if the ratio of the first additive to the second additive is approximately 1:1, this helps to further improve the high-temperature and low-temperature performance of the lithium-ion battery.

[0079] According to Examples 35-37, the room temperature / high temperature performance of the lithium-ion battery is improved in the presence of the second additive compared to the first additive shown in Equation 1-1, while the low temperature performance is affected.

[0080] According to Examples 38-45, other first additives exhibit effects similar to those of the compound shown in Formula 1-1.

[0081] Finally, it should be noted that the foregoing embodiments are used only to illustrate the technical solutions of the application, and not to limit them. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, a person skilled in the art will understand that they may still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or replace some or all of the technical features accordingly. Such modifications or replacements do not alter the core of the corresponding technical solutions from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
