Abstract

This application provides an electrolyte for lithium-ion battery, a lithium-ion battery, a battery module, a battery pack, and an apparatus. The electrolyte includes an organic solvent, an electrolytic lithium salt dissolved in the organic solvent, and additives, where the additives include a first additive and a second additive. The first additive includes an alkenyl dioxaborolane compound represented by formula I or formula II, and the second additive includes phosphoric acid cyclic anhydride represented by formula III. After the electrolyte of this application is applied to a lithium-ion battery, the lithium-ion battery can, at high voltage, have a good high-temperature cycling performance and high-temperature storage performance, a low direct current resistance, as well as good high-voltage characteristics.
