Abstract: The invention relates to an electrolyte composition containing at least one compound of (I) wherein R1 is selected from C1 to C10 alkyl, and R2 is selected from O(C1 to C10 alkyl), OC(O)(C1 to C10 alkyl), OC(O)O(C1 to C10 alkyl), OS(O)2(C1 to C10 alkyl) and S(O)2O(C1 to C10 alkyl), wherein C1 to C10 alkyl may be substituted by one or more F and wherein one or more CH2— groups of C1 to C10 alkyl which are not bound directly to O may be replaced by O.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrolyte composition containing (i) at least one aprotic polar organic solvent having a flash point above 80° C. and a dielectric constant above 10 at 25° C.; (ii) at least one flame retardant and/or non-flammable solvent; (iii) at least one compound of formula (I) R1—O(O)C—(CH2)n—C(O)O—R2 (I) wherein R1 and R2 are independently from each other selected from C1-C6 alkyl and n is 1, 2 or 3; (iv) at least one conducting salt; (v) at least one aprotic organic solvent having a dynamic viscosity below 1 mPa s at 25° C.; and (vi) optionally one or more additives.
