ELECTROLYTE, LITHIUM-ION BATTERY, AND APPARATUS CONTAINING SUCH LITHIUM-ION BATTERY
This application provides an electrolyte, a lithium-ion battery, and an apparatus including such lithium-ion battery. The electrolyte includes a lithium salt, an organic solvent, and an additive. The additive includes a sulfur-containing compound and a silane compound, where the sulfur-containing compound is selected from one or more of sulfur hexafluoride, sulfuryl fluoride, sulfur dioxide, sulfur trioxide, carbon disulfide, dimethyl sulfide, and methyl ethyl sulfide. When a specific sulfur-containing compound is used together with a silane compound as an additive to the electrolyte, the sulfur-containing compound can not only participate in forming a SEI film on a surface of a negative electrode of the lithium-ion battery to effectively prevent direct contact between the electrolyte and a negative electrode active material, but also optimize a passivation film formed by the silane compound on a surface of the positive electrode to reduce film-forming impedance on the surface of the positive electrode.
