The invention provides a 4.6 V high-
voltage lithium metal battery electrolyte adaptive to a commercial load ternary positive
electrode and a preparation method and application of the 4.6 V high-
voltage lithium metal battery electrolyte, the
electrolyte belongs to a local high-concentration ester-based
electrolyte, a
diluent 1, 1, 2, 2-tetrafluoroethyl-2, 2, 3, 3-tetrafluoropropyl
ether or 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3-hexafluoropropyl-2, 2, 2-trifluoroethyl
ether is added into the high-concentration
electrolyte, and the high-concentration electrolyte is prepared through the following steps: adding a
diluent into the high-concentration electrolyte; the first
solvation shell layer of the electrolyte maintains a
solvation structure which takes contact
ion pair (CIP) / aggregated
ion pair as a main component (AGG and AGG +) under
high concentration, improves the
ionic conductivity, reduces the
viscosity and cost of the electrolyte, promotes formation of a stable and firm SEI film, realizes compact and uniform deposition of
lithium metal, and remarkably improves the cycle performance of the
lithium metal battery; meanwhile, due to the high
oxidation resistance of the ester-based
solvent and the local high-concentration
solvation structure formed by the electrolyte, the
decomposition of the electrolyte and the
cracking of the positive
electrode are effectively inhibited.
