The application relates to the technical field of
lithium metal batteries, and discloses an
electrolyte suitable for extreme working conditions, a
lithium metal battery and application of the
electrolyte. The
electrolyte suitable for extreme working conditions is composed of a
lithium salt, a main
solvent and a
fluorinated ether diluent, the main
solvent is an
ether solvent with a
side chain methyl, the
molar concentration of the lithium salt is 0.8-1.5 mol / L, and the volume ratio of the main solvent to the
fluorinated ether diluent is 1:0.5-2. ‑1 The electrolyte
system disclosed by the application not only reduces the direct
chemical corrosion of the fluorinated
diluent TTE on
lithium metal, but also significantly inhibits the oxidative
decomposition of solvent molecules on the positive
electrode surface under
high pressure through the weak
solvation characteristics and moderate anion coordination of DMP; the electrolyte
system realizes the synergistic regulation of the
solvation structure of lithium ions, the interface film forming behavior and the
ion transport
kinetics, in-situ constructs a SEI / CEI interface film layer rich in inorganic components and mechanically stable on the surface of a
lithium metal negative
electrode and a high-
nickel positive
electrode, and fundamentally inhibits the growth of lithium dendrites, slows down the degradation of the positive electrode structure and reduces the interface
side reaction rate.
