Abstract

An electrolyte of a lithium-ion secondary battery and an application thereof. The electrolyte of the lithium-ion secondary battery includes an organic solution, a lithium salt, and an additive, and the additive comprises a borate compound. The electrolyte can be better applied to low-cobalt or cobalt-free positive electrode materials, improve the high-temperature cycle and storage performance of the lithium-ion batteries, and inhibit gas generation during high-temperature storage, thereby improving the comprehensive performance of the battery.
