Abstract

An electrochemical device includes a negative electrode plate and an electrolyte. The negative electrode plate includes a negative active material. A specific surface area of the negative active material is A m 2 /g and 0.3≤A≤4. The electrolyte includes fluorocarboxylate and fluorocarbonate. Based on a mass of the electrolyte, a mass percent of the fluorocarboxylate is X % and a mass percent of the fluorocarbonate is Y %, 5≤Y≤70, and the electrochemical device satisfies 50≤X+Y≤85, and 6≤Y/A≤200. The synergy between the negative active material and the electrolyte can effectively improve cycle performance of the electrochemical device under high voltages, and alleviate lithium plating of the negative electrode.
