The ratio F/A of the mass percent F of the transition metal element in the positive electrode active material to the mass percent A of the phosphorus trifluoride oxide in the electrolyte generally affects the high-temperature safety performance and the cycle performance of the lithium ion battery. As can be seen from examples 7, 53 to 57, the F/a is within the scope of the present application, and a lithium ion battery having excellent high-temperature safety performance and cycle performance can be obtained.
As is apparent from the above analysis, the electrochemical device provided by the present application comprises a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, and an electrolyte comprising phosphorus oxytrifluoride and a polycyano compound comprising at least two cyano groups. The electrolyte can form a compact and stable protective film on the surface of the positive electrode, and inhibit the decomposition reaction of the electrolyte under high voltage. The electrochemical device containing the electrolyte has good high-temperature safety performance and cycle performance.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the application is not intended to limit the application to the precise form disclosed, and any such modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the application are intended to be included within the scope of the application.
