The present application relates to the technical field of
lithium ion batteries, and provides a
lithium ion battery, which comprises a
battery cell and an
electrolyte, and the
battery cell comprises a positive
electrode sheet, a diaphragm and a negative
electrode sheet which are arranged in a stack, the positive
electrode sheet body has a first surface and a second surface which are opposite to each other along the thickness direction, a plurality of protruding parts exist on the first surface of the positive electrode sheet, and corresponding recessed parts exist on the second surface, the
electrolyte contains A wt% of a
sulfur-containing additive, the
sulfur-containing additive comprises at least one of a
sulfonate, a
sulfate and a
sulfite, 0.3≤H / T≤6 and 0.1≤A≤6, wherein H is the height of the protruding part, the unit is μm, T is the thickness of the diaphragm, the unit is μm, 1≤D≤8, and / or 0.3≤Z=H / D≤80, 0.02≤A / Z≤4. The battery has good electrochemical performance and safety performance, can inhibit the generation of
lithium dendrites of the negative electrode, and can improve the self-
discharge performance and relieve the gas generation in high-temperature storage.
