The invention provides a
lithium ion secondary battery. The
electrolyte in the
lithium ion secondary battery comprises an
isothiocyanate additive; the oxidation potential of the
isothiocyanate additive is 3.7 to 4.1 V, the
fluorine ion affinity is-11 to-7 kcal / mol, and the LUMO (lowest unoccupied
molecular orbital)
energy level is-2.2 to-1.1 eV; the positive
electrode active material of the positive plate comprises LiaNixCoyMzAdO2, wherein 0.85 < = a < = 1, 0.8 < = x < = 1, 0.05 < = y < = 0.15, 0 < z < = 0.05, and 0 < = d < = 0.05; m comprises Mn and / or Al, and A comprises at least one of Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Al, Sc, Ga, In, Ti, Zr, Sn, Hf, Ta, Nb, W, Mo, V, Cr, Y, La, Ce, Pr and Nd. The
lithium ion secondary battery has excellent cycle performance and relatively low interface resistance at a high temperature.
