The invention belongs to the technical field of materials, and provides an
electrolyte for a high-capacity
spinel positive
electrode lithium ion battery, a preparation method of the
electrolyte and the
lithium ion battery. The
electrolyte comprises a
lithium salt and a carbonic ester mixed
solvent, and the mixed
solvent is composed of
ethylene carbonate,
diethyl carbonate, (2, 2, 2-trifluoroethyl)
ethyl carbonate and bis (2, 2, 2-trifluoroethyl)
carbonate. According to the invention, the combination of solvents is regulated and controlled, a high-
inertia fluorinated structure on one side of a molecule and a non-fluorinated structure for promoting
solvation on the other side of the molecule are innovatively combined, and the combination of asymmetric and symmetric fluorinated solvents is adopted, so that the advantages of high stability of a fluorinated electrolyte and strong
solvation and ionic conduction of a non-fluorinated electrolyte are integrated, and the limitation of the fluorinated electrolyte and the non-fluorinated electrolyte is made up. The electrolyte adapts to a high-
low voltage interface charging and discharging process, is well matched with a
spinel positive
electrode, and can be matched with the circulation interface characteristic, so that the super-theoretical capacity circulation is realized, the
energy density is improved, the service life is prolonged, and the battery has a high circulation capacity
retention rate.
