Abstract

The present application provides a lithium-ion battery and an apparatus, the lithium-ion battery includes an electrode assembly and an electrolytic solution, and the electrode assembly includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, and a separation film. A positive electrode active material in the positive electrode sheet includes Li x1 Co y1 M 1-y1 O 2-z1 Q z1 , and the positive electrode active material is a mixture of large particles Li x1 Co y1 M 1-y1 O 2-z1 Q z1 and small particles Li x1 Co y1 M 1-y1 O 2-z1 Q z1 ; an average particle size D50 of the large particles Li x1 Co y1 M 1-y1 O 2-z1 Q z1 is 10 μm-17 μm, and an average particle size D50 of the small particles Li x1 Co y1 M 1-y1 O 2-z1 Q z1 is 2 μm-7 μm. The electrolytic solution contains an additive A that is a polynitrile six-membered nitrogen-heterocyclic compound with a relatively low oxidation potential. The lithium-ion battery has superb cycle performance and storage performance, especially under high-temperature and high-voltage conditions.
