[0075] Test methods
[0076] 1. Capacity retention rate after high and low temperature shock tests
[0077] Take three batteries from each group of the prepared secondary batteries, and charge and discharge the three lithium-ion batteries respectively through the following steps, and calculate the battery discharge capacity retention rate.
[0078] First, the initial charge and discharge cycles were performed at 25°C. The battery was initially charged at a constant current of 0.5C until it reached 4.3V, then charged at a constant voltage. Finally, it was discharged at a constant current of 1C until it reached 2.8V. The discharge capacity of the first cycle was recorded. Next, the lithium-ion battery was placed at -20°C for 100 charge and discharge cycles. After the low-temperature cycle, the battery was transferred to a 45°C environment within one hour for 200 charge and discharge cycles. The discharge capacity of the 200th cycle at 45°C was recorded.
[0079] Capacity retention rate = (Discharge capacity of the 200th cycle / Discharge capacity of the first cycle) × 100%.
[0080] The following benchmarks are used for evaluation. A higher capacity retention rate indicates better performance of the secondary battery after high and low temperature shock tests.
[0081] A: Capacity retention rate is greater than 85%;
[0082] B: Capacity retention rate is greater than or equal to 80% and less than 85%;
[0083] C: Capacity retention rate is greater than or equal to 75% and less than 80%;
[0084] D: Capacity retention rate is less than 75%.
[0085] 2. Lithium-ion acceptability after high and low temperature impact testing
[0086] After the secondary battery was left to stand at 35°C for 24 hours, it was charged at a constant current of 1.0C for 1 hour at 35°C, and the high-temperature charging capacity (C0) was measured. Then, at 35°C, it was discharged at a constant current of 0.1C until it reached 3V, at which point the discharge was stopped. Next, at -15°C, it was charged at a constant current of 1.0C for 1 hour, and the low-temperature charging capacity (C1) was measured. The ratio of C1 to C0 (C1 / C0) was then calculated and evaluated using the following criteria. A higher C1 / C0 value indicates better lithium-ion acceptance at low temperatures.
[0087] A: C1 / C0 is 0.65 or higher;
[0088] B: C1 / C0 is greater than 0.55 and less than 0.65;
[0089] C: C1 / C0 is greater than 0.5 and less than 0.55;
[0090] D: C1 / C0 is less than 0.5.

[0093] In Examples 11 and 12, vinylene carbonate was added to the electrolyte of the secondary battery, which further improved the capacity retention and lithium-ion acceptance of the secondary battery after high and low temperature shock tests.
[0094] In Examples 10 and 14 to 15, 1,3-propanesulfonic acid lactone was added to the electrolyte of the secondary battery, which further improved the capacity retention and lithium-ion acceptance of the secondary battery after high and low temperature shock tests.
[0095] In Examples 16 to 18, lithium salicylate was added to the electrolyte of the secondary battery, which improved the capacity retention and lithium-ion acceptance of the secondary battery after high and low temperature shock tests.
[0096] In Examples 19 to 22, the thickness T of the metal conductive layer was changed, which improved the capacity retention and lithium-ion acceptance of the secondary battery after high and low temperature shock tests.
