The application belongs to the technical field of secondary batteries, and more particularly relates to a low-temperature
microemulsion electrolyte, a preparation method and application thereof. The low-temperature
microemulsion electrolyte comprises an
electrolyte salt, a symmetrical
cyclic ether solvent, a highly
chlorinated solvent insoluble in the symmetrical
cyclic ether solvent, and a chlorinated
ether solvent for dispersing the highly
chlorinated solvent in the symmetrical
cyclic ether solvent in the form of micelles. Through synergistic effect of the components, an electrolyte
system with high
ion conductivity,
electrode interface stability and wide temperature range adaptability is constructed, effectively solving the core problems of kinetic sluggishness, poor interface stability and
short cycle life of the secondary battery in an ultra-low temperature environment. The electrolyte remains liquid at -70 DEG C, and exhibits excellent cycle stability in a wide temperature range of -40 DEG C to 25 DEG C, giving the battery excellent wide temperature range adaptability, breaking the low-temperature performance
bottleneck of the secondary battery, and having a broad application prospect.
