The invention belongs to the related technical field of batteries, and discloses a high-concentration
electrolyte as well as a preparation method and application thereof. The
electrolyte comprises an
organic solvent, a
lithium salt and a non-
lithium electrolyte salt, wherein the cation deposition potential of the non-
lithium electrolyte salt is lower than the lithium
ion deposition potential; and in the electrolyte, the concentration of the lithium salt is 0.1-1 mol / L, and the concentration of the non-
lithium electrolyte salt is 1-6 mol / L. Based on a
design strategy of a high-concentration electrolyte of mixed non-
lithium metal cations of a
potential difference-driven selective
ion stabilization mechanism, under the condition of maintaining a low lithium salt concentration, the high-concentration electrolyte of the mixed non-
lithium metal cations is obtained; positions of other non-
lithium electrolyte salts which are low in cost and rich in resources and have deposition potentials lower than Li < + >-negative
electrode reaction potentials are used for replacing part of Li < + > in the high-concentration electrolyte, so that the unique
solvation structure
advantage of the high-concentration electrolyte is reserved, and meanwhile, side reactions caused by introduction of heterogeneous cations are avoided; therefore,
cost optimization and further improvement of battery performance are realized.
