Abstract: An electrolyte including a dinitrile compound, a multi-nitrile compound with more than 2 cyano groups, and a boron-containing lithium salt. Based on a total weight of the electrolyte, a content of the dinitrile compound is A %, a content of the multi-nitrile compound is B %, and a content of the boron-containing lithium salt is C %, and 0?(A/B)?C+1?11. The cycle performance of the electrochemical device including the electrolyte is improved at a high temperature and in a high state of charge.

Abstract: An electrochemical apparatus, including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, an separator, and an electrolyte, wherein the positive electrode comprises a current collector and a positive active material layer, and the positive active material layer comprises a positive active material; and the electrolyte comprises a compound of Formula I: wherein R11, R12, R13, R14, R15 and R16 are each independently selected from: H, halogen, and the following substituted or unsubstituted groups: a C1-8 alkyl group, a C2-8 alkenyl group, a C2-8 alkynyl group, or a C6-12 aryl group; and an amount of the compound of Formula I required per 1 g of the positive active material is about 0.001 g to about 0.064 g. The present application can effectively improve high-temperature storage and high-temperature cycle performance of an electrochemical apparatus.

Abstract: An electrolyte including one or more nitrile benzoquinone compounds, and the nitrile benzoquinone compound is selected from the group consisting of the compounds represented by formula I, formula II, and formula III: The substituents R1 to R9 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a C2 to C12 ether group, a C1 to C12 alkoxy group, halogen, a C1 to C12 alkyl group, a C2 to C12 alkenyl group, a C2 to C12 alkynyl group, and a C6 to C26 aryl group. The electrolyte can form a stable protective film on a cathode, thereby increasing the cycle capacity retention rate and high temperature storage performance of an electrochemical device.
