In some embodiments of the present application, the nitrile compound is selected from at least one of the compounds represented by the following structural formula,
it should be understood that in the above examples, the nitrile compounds of different structural formulas have different complexing and adsorbing forces, so that the nitrile compounds also have different separation effects on the electrolyte and the surface of the positive electrode. In some embodiments, as the number of "nitrile group" (-CN) groups in the nitrile compound increases, the more significant the separation effect on the electrolyte and the surface of the positive electrode can be achieved. Meanwhile, the molecular weight of the nitrile compound has a certain influence on the isolation effect, the easily-oxidizable component in the electrolyte cannot be effectively isolated from the surface of the anode due to too small molecular weight, and the easily-oxidizable component in the electrolyte can be in contact with the surface of the anode through the molecular gap of the nitrile compound due to too large molecular weight.
In some embodiments of the present application, the nitrile compound is a compound containing at least three or more nitrile groups selected from the group consisting of
According to some embodiments of the present application, the quaternary ammonium sulfonate salt is contained in the electrolyte in an amount of about 0.1% to about 10% and the nitrile compound is contained in an amount of about 0.5% to about 12%, based on the total weight of the electrolyte.

In addition, when the content of the nitrile compound is less than 12% by weight based on the total weight of the electrolyte, it is possible to reduce adverse effects of the nitrile compound on the cycle performance of an electrochemical device, for example, a decrease in energy density and an increase in viscosity of the electrolyte.

The electrolyte formulation ratios and compositions of examples 1 to 27 and comparative examples 1 to 3 and the test results thereof through the high temperature storage cycle performance test and the high temperature storage test are shown in table 1 below.
TABLE 1
As can be seen from the data in table 1, compared with comparative examples 1 to 3, the lithium ion battery provided by the present application can effectively improve the capacity retention rate after the high temperature storage cycle test and reduce the thickness increase rate after the high temperature storage test by adding the combination of the quaternary ammonium sulfonate and the nitrile compound into the electrolyte. Wherein, compared to comparative example 1 in which neither the quaternary ammonium sulfonate salt nor the nitrile compound is added at all, comparative examples 2 and 3 in which only one of the quaternary ammonium sulfonate salt and the nitrile compound is added have some improvement, but no significant improvement, in high-temperature storage cycle performance and high-temperature expansion of the lithium ion battery.

Further, as can be seen from comparison of examples 1 to 6, examples 2 to 3 and 5 to 6, since the nitrile compounds of the formulae (formula 4-3) and (formula 5-2) have at least three or more nitrile groups, are more effective in reducing the thickness growth rate in the high temperature storage test than the nitrile compound of the formula (formula 2-2) of examples 1 and 4, which has only two nitrile groups.
As can be seen from the above comparison, the electrochemical device of the present application effectively increases the high-temperature storage cycle efficiency thereof by adding the combination of the quaternary ammonium sulfonate salt and the nitrile compound to the electrolyte, while suppressing the thickness increase during high-temperature storage. According to the application, the sulfonate quaternary ammonium salt is added into the electrolyte to form a stable SEI film on the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and the nitrile compound is added into the electrolyte to perform a complex reaction with a transition metal on the surface of the positive electrode. According to the electrolyte, the sulfonate quaternary ammonium salt and the nitrile compound are combined, so that the incompatibility of the nitrile compound and a negative electrode can be reduced, the side reaction of the electrolyte and an anode and a negative electrode interface at a high temperature is further reduced, and the high-temperature storage cycle performance and the high-temperature thickness increase rate are improved.

And the lithium ion batteries of examples 8 and 28 to 39 were subjected to a high temperature storage cycle performance test and a cycle performance test to further illustrate the advantageous effects thereof.
The composition and content of the other additives of examples 8 and 28-39 and the results of the high temperature storage cycle performance test and the cycle performance test are shown in Table 2 below.
TABLE 2
As can be seen from the data in table 2, the high-temperature storage cycle performance and the cycle performance of the lithium ion battery can be further improved by further adding other additives to the electrolyte to which the combination of the quaternary ammonium sulfonate salt and the nitrile compound is added. As can be seen by comparing examples 8 and 28-39, the capacity retention rate of the lithium ion battery in examples 28-39 can reach 80.9% to 83.9% through the cycle performance test, and the capacity retention rate of the lithium ion battery in the high-temperature energy storage cycle performance test can reach 63.3% to 71.2%.
In other embodiments of the present application, the electrolyte further adds a phosphazene compound. In the following examples 40 to 45, the same procedure as in example 8 was conducted, except that one of the compounds represented by the following structural formulae was further added in the preparation of the electrolytes of examples 40 to 45:
the specific components and contents of the phosphazene compound added to the electrolyte containing the combination of the sulfonate quaternary ammonium salt and the nitrile compound (example 8) are shown in table 3. The lithium ion batteries of examples 8 and 40 to 45 were subjected to a high temperature storage cycle performance test and a nail penetration test to further illustrate the advantageous effects thereof.
The compositions and contents of the phosphazene compounds of examples 8 and 40 to 45 and the results of the high temperature storage cycle performance test and the nail penetration test are shown in table 3 below.
TABLE 3
As can be seen from the data in table 3, the further addition of the phosphazene compound to the electrolyte solution to which the combination of the quaternary ammonium sulfonate salt and the nitrile compound is added can further improve the high-temperature storage cycle performance and the nail penetration rate of the lithium ion battery. It can be seen from comparison between examples 8 and 40-45 that the number of passes of the lithium ion battery in examples 40-45 after 20 times of nail penetration tests is much higher than that of the lithium ion battery in example 8 without the phosphazene compound, which effectively improves the safety performance of the lithium ion battery. Meanwhile, the capacity retention rate of the lithium ion battery in the embodiment 40-45 added with the phosphazene compound can be slightly improved to 63.0-64.1% through a high-temperature energy storage cycle performance test.
