Abstract: The present invention provides an electrolyte additive with multiple functions when introduced into an electrolyte. Specifically, under high or overcharged voltage conditions, a high redox potential enables stable shuttling between the electrodes of an electrochemical device, facilitating oxidation reactions at the positive electrode and reducing exothermic reactions occurring at the electrodes. The oxidized electrolyte additive can then shuttle to the negative electrode, where it converts inactive metal into metal ion while self-reducing to its original state. It then diffuses back to the positive electrode for further oxidation, creating a cyclic reaction that effectively rejuvenates inactive metal and significantly prolongs the lifespan of the electrochemical device. Simultaneously, this electrolyte additive can generate a beneficial solid electrolyte interfacial functional group.
