The present invention relates to an
electrolyte for a full-climate battery with a high-
nickel cathode material, which solves the problems that
lithium-
ion batteries with layered high-
nickel oxides as the
cathode material face aggravated deterioration of the high-temperature interface, resulting in a decline in performance stability and potential safety hazards, and more importantly, it cannot overcome the technical
bottleneck of electrochemical performance such as
discharge capacity,
Coulomb efficiency, and cycle life at both
room temperature and low temperature of the battery. The
working temperature of the
lithium-
ion battery with a high-
nickel cathode material is extended to -60°C to 55°C. Through the component design of a
sulfone-based high-concentration
electrolyte and the introduction of a
lithium salt additive LiClO4, the
solvation sheath structure is changed, the HOMO of the
system of
organic solvent dipoles and ions is reduced, and the basic composition and structural characteristics of the CEI on the surface of the high-nickel
cathode material are further regulated, forming an interfacial layer that is dense, firm, and has a low
desolvation energy. The battery maintains excellent interfacial stability and capacity
retention rate during high-temperature storage and high-
temperature cycling, and still releases a high specific capacity and excellent
cycling performance at low temperature.
