The invention belongs to the technical field of
electrolyte, and particularly relates to
electrolyte and a secondary battery. The
electrolyte comprises a water-removing and acid-inhibiting additive, the
mass percent of the water-removing and acid-inhibiting additive is 0.05%-2.2% by taking the total
mass of the electrolyte as 100%, the water-removing and acid-inhibiting additive comprises compounds with structures shown in a formula II and a formula III, the compound with the structure shown in the formula II is 3-ethyl-2-methyl-2-(3-methylbutyl)-1, 3-
oxazolidine, and the compound with the structure shown in the formula III is 3-ethyl-2-methyl-2-(3-methylbutyl)-1, 3-
oxazolidine. The compound with the structure as shown in the formula III is 3-butyl-2-(1-ethyl amyl)-1, 3-
oxazolidine. The
mass ratio of the compound with the structure shown in the formula II to the compound with the structure shown in the formula III is (1: 2)-(1: 4). The formula II and the formula III are compounded according to the proportion of (1: 2)-(1: 4), the overall performance of the additive can be synergistically optimized, the formula II provides rapid initial
acid inhibition response, and the formula III ensures lasting later protection, so that the long-acting period from formation to long-term circulation of the battery is covered.
