Abstract:

In the application process of commercial lithium-ion battery electrolyte, the electrolyte, lithium salt lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6), is prone to hydrolysis in presence of trace water, which can lead to the comprehensive electrochemical performance damage of the battery system. Therefore, it is urgent to control the introduction of trace water in the electrolyte body and measures to reduce the influence of lithium salt and trace water reaction products on the battery system. This article mainly summarizes the characteristics of additives containing different function groups in removing trace amounts of water and acid from electrolytes, and analyzes the function of acid-removing and water-removing. Finally, future research directions as well as application prospects of acid-removing and water-removing additives are prospected.

Key words: Lithium-ion battery, Electrolyte, Acid-removing additive, Water-removing additive, Mechanism of action
