Abstract: Use of a silane additive with carbon-carbon triple bond in an electrolyte for inhibiting the gas production of a cell, use of a combined additive of the silane additive and a film-forming additive in the electrolyte, use of a combined additive of the silane additive and a fluorine-containing lithium salt additive in the electrolyte, an electrolyte and a lithium ion battery containing the silane additive. The combined use of a silane additive and a film-forming additive and the combined use of a silane additive and a fluorine-containing lithium salt additive can not only inhibit the gas production of a cell and improve the high-temperature storage performance of a battery, but also improve the stability of the battery in a high-temperature cycle and a room temperature cycle.
