Abstract

This application provides an electrolyte and a battery. The electrolyte comprises an electrolytic salt and an organic solvent comprising a cyclic carbonate and a chain carbonate. The electrolyte further comprises an additive A and an additive B, wherein the additive A is a positive-electrode film-forming additive, the additive B is a negative-electrode film-forming additive, and the reduction potential of the additive B is higher than that of the cyclic carbonate, and the electrolyte has a conductivity of 6 mS/cm to 10 mS/cm at 25° C. The electrolyte of the present application can improve the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery, in particular, improve the cycle performance and storage performance of the battery under high temperature and high voltage conditions, and at the same time balance the low-temperature performance of the battery.
