This invention provides a
lithium metal electrolyte for suppressing gas production, as well as
lithium metal and
lithium-
ion batteries, belonging to the field of lithium-
ion battery technology. The
electrolyte of this invention includes lithium salt,
organic solvent, and additives. This invention uses
organosilicon additives as "molecular decoupling agents," which can simultaneously passivate the positive
electrode surface, reconstruct a robust and highly ionicly conductive negative
electrode interface, and capture and oligomerize key shuttle species at the source, causing them to lose their
redox activity, thereby blocking the
chain reaction of gas generation. Soft-pack batteries prepared with this
electrolyte show a reduction of approximately 90% in gas production for
lithium metal batteries and approximately 95% in lithium-
ion batteries after one month of storage at high temperature and 100% SOC. No gas production is observed in
lithium metal and lithium-ion batteries after one month of storage at high temperature and 50% SOC, solving the industry problem of severe gas production in
lithium metal and lithium-ion batteries under high temperature and high charge conditions.
