The invention provides a lithium ion battery electrolyte and a secondary battery containing the lithium ion battery electrolyte, and relates to the technical field of electrochemistry. The lithium ion battery electrolyte contains a lithium salt, an organic solvent, 0.5-5% by weight of a film-forming additive, 1-15% by weight of a fluorobenzene compound, 0.01-0.5% of a wetting agent, and 0.01-2% of a stabilizer. The lithium ion secondary battery comprises a positive electrode material, a negative electrode material and an electrolyte, wherein the positive electrode material comprises, by mass, 85% of LiCoO2, 7.5% of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and 7.5% of conductive carbon black SP, and the negative electrode material comprises, by mass, 90% of high compactness graphite, 7% of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and 3% of conductive carbon black SP. According to the present invention, the battery capacity can be increased, the charge/discharge cycle performance can be improved, and the electrochemical window can be widened.
