[0215] Table 2

[0216] Table 3

[0217] As can be seen from the data in Tables 2 and 3, the electrochemical performance of the lithium ion batteries (application examples 1-20) prepared using the lithium ion battery electrolyte provided by the embodiments of the present application is significantly higher than the electrochemical performance of the lithium ion batteries (comparative application examples 1-8) prepared using the lithium ion battery electrolyte of the comparative examples.

[0218] Specifically, comparative application examples 1-3 are all comparative experiments of application example 1, mainly to investigate the influence of the addition of monocyano compounds and / or tricyano compounds on the battery performance. As can be seen from the experimental data of application example 1 and comparative application examples 1-3 in Tables 2-3, 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 dissolved from the negative electrode, in addition, the room temperature cycle performance of the battery is slightly better or comparable, while the single addition of monocyano compounds or tricyano compounds cannot achieve such obvious effect.

[0219] Comparative application examples 4-5 are also comparative experiments of application example 1, mainly to investigate the influence of the combination of dicyano compounds and tricyano compounds on the battery performance. As can be seen from the data in Tables 2-3, the addition of the combination of dicyano compounds and tricyano compounds causes a significant decrease in the performance of the battery in various aspects. It can be seen therefrom that there is a certain synergistic relationship between the monocyano compounds and the tricyano compounds in the present application, and only through the joint action of both, can the high-temperature storage performance and high-temperature cycle performance of the battery be significantly improved, and the amount of cobalt dissolved from the negative electrode be reduced, in addition, the room temperature cycle performance of the battery is slightly better or comparable.

[0220] Comparative Examples 6-8 are also comparative experiments of Example 1, which mainly investigate the influence of the amount of single-cyan compound or triple-cyan compound. As can be seen from the relevant experimental data in Tables 2-3, when the amount of single-cyan compound or triple-cyan compound is too much, the battery performance is affected, and when the amount is too little, the effect cannot be achieved.

[0221] The above only describes preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application is within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
