  • Patent number: 11404724
    Abstract: The present application relates to the field of energy storage materials, and particularly, to an electrolytic solution and a battery using the electrolytic solution. The electrolytic solution of the present application contains an additive, the additive including a multi-cyano compound represented by formula (I). The multi-cyano compound of the present application has a stronger complexation with a transition metal on the surface of a positive electrode material, and therefore a protective film can be formed on the surface of the positive electrode material, and the dissolution of the transition metal is effectively suppressed; the surface activity of the positive electrode material is reduced, thereby suppressing side reactions, such as the decomposition of the electrolytic solution on the surface of the positive electrode material; and the cycle performance and storage performance of a battery under wide range of working voltage and wide range of operating temperature conditions are thus improved.
