The invention provides the double-electric-layer
capacitor electrolyte with
high energy density and cost advantages, the additive of the
electrolyte contains small cations to increase the degree of freedom of salt ions and reduce the
viscosity, and the anion part contains hydrophobic groups and oxyphilic groups of oxyphilic functional groups on the surface of
activated carbon to reduce the contact between water molecules and an
electrode interface, so that the service life of the double-electric-layer
capacitor is prolonged, and the service life of the double-electric-layer
capacitor is prolonged. And furthermore, the gas
production rate of the
electrolyte is reduced, the high-rate performance is adapted, the capacity
exertion is increased, and the characteristic of low cost is compatible. The capacity
retention rate of an EDLC
battery cell containing the preferable additive is increased to 78.2% (19.3%) from 58.9% of a blank sample after 1000 circles of 125A large-current circulation (the current of a conventional application scene of the capacity
battery cell is 25A), the
capacitance retention rate is increased to 78.2% (19.3%) from 58.9% of the blank sample after 1500h of high-temperature
floating charge at the
voltage of 65DEG C and 2.9 V, and the
internal resistance growth rate is increased to 78.2% (19.3%) from 58.9% of the blank sample. According to the present invention, the preferable additive can significantly improve the capacity, such that the injection amount of the
cell electrolyte can be reduced so as to reduce the production cost on the premise of maintaining the capacity unchanged, the safety is high, the process change is small, the electrochemical performance is significantly improved, and the commercialization requirement can be well met.
