CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS 
       [0001]    The present application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201610352232.2, filed on May 25, 2016, the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. 
       TECHNICAL FIELD 
       [0002]    The present application relates to the technical field of lithium-ion batteries and, specifically, relates to an electrolyte and a lithium-ion battery containing the electrolyte. 
       BACKGROUND 
       [0003]    In recent years, with the development of intelligent electronic products, there is an increasingly higher demand on battery life of the lithium-ion battery. In order to increase the energy density of the lithium-ion battery, an effective manner is to develop high-voltage lithium-ion batteries. 
         [0004]    At present, the lithium-ion battery with a working voltage is ≧4.4V has become a research hotspot for various R&amp;D institutions and companies. However, when at high voltage, the positive electrode material will has improved oxidation activity and reduced stability, resulting in that the electrochemical oxidizing reaction of the non-aqueous electrolyte will readily occur on the surface of the positive electrode, and thus the electrolyte will decompose and generate gas. At the same time, reduction reaction will occur to the transition metal elements in the positive electrode material, such as nickel, cobalt, manganese and so on, and thus such transition metal elements will precipitate out, which will cause further deterioration of electrochemical performance of the lithium-ion battery. A primary solution at present is to add into the electrolyte a film forming additive which can form a film at the positive electrode, which, however, will increase interface impedance, and thus reduce transport and diffusion kinetic performance of lithium ions in the battery and therefore cause deterioration of rate and cycle performance of the battery. Chainlike carbonate dimers, chainlike carboxylate dimers, chainlike sulfonate dimers or phosphate esters can improve high-temperature storage performance, initial charge/discharge performance, safety and cycle performance, etc., however, it is difficult for these materials to wet the electrode plate and separator as a result of too large viscosities thereof, which therefore, especially under high compact density, causes disadvantageous effects to the cycle performance, rate performance and low-temperature performance of the cell. 
         [0005]    With respect to the defects of the prior art, the present application is proposed.

         [0032]    In the present application, the fluoroethers contained in the electrolyte firstly play a role of surfactants which prompt the wetting of the ester dimers on the electrode plate and separator, so as to compensate for the insufficient wetting ability of the ester dimers as a result of large viscosities thereof. Strong hydrogen bonding interaction readily occurs between a plurality of O═X (X is carbon or sulfur) radical groups of the ester dimers and the fluoroether, which helps the fluoroether form a stable and compact protection film. Due to strong electron pulling effect of the fluorine atom of the fluoroether, the ester dimer will also readily form a film on the negative electrode surface. As a function of the hydrogen bonding interaction between the O═X radical groups in the ester dimer and the fluoroether, the protection film is stable at high temperature or high voltage and will not decompose during cycling. The lithium battery of the present application can realize the object of high voltage, of which the highest normal working voltage can be improved to 4.4˜5.0V, and the lithium battery has good cycle performance, higher capacity retention rate at charge/discharge and improved service life. 
         [0033]    The present application is further explained in connection with the following embodiments. It is appreciated that these embodiments are merely used to illustrate the present application but not to limit the scope of the present application.

         [0122]    Electrolytes 1˜15 are prepared according to the following manner: 
         [0123]    In a glove box filled with argon atmosphere with a moisture content&lt;10 ppm, EC, PC and DEC are evenly mixed in a weight ratio of 1:1:1 so as to form an organic solvent; the lithium salt which has been fully dried is then dissolved into the abovementioned organic solvent; the additive A (AN1, AN2, AN3, AM1, AM2, AM3) and additive B (FEC, VC, PS, ADN, EDN) are then added into the organic solvent according to the content shown in Table 1 and evenly mixed, so as to obtain an electrolyte, of which the concentration of the lithium salt is 1 mol/L, and the weight ratio of EC, PC and DEC is EC: PC: DEC=1:1:2. 
         [0124]    (4) Preparation of Lithium-Ion Battery 
         [0125]    The positive electrode plate, separator for lithium battery and negative electrode plate are stacked in sequence and then winded to form a bare cell, such that the separator can insulate the positive electrode plate from the negative electrode plate; the bare cell is then packaged into an external packaging foil, then injected with the prepared electrolyte, vacuum sealed, let standby, formed and shaped, so as to obtain a battery. 
         [0126]    During the preparation of the abovementioned batteries, the selected electrolyte in each battery and the specific type and contents of the used additive A and additive B in each electrolyte are shown in Table 2. 
         [0127]    In Table 1, the content of the additive is a weight percentage counted based on the total weight of the electrolyte.

         [0129]    (1) Test for Cycle Performance of Battery 
         [0130]    At 45° C., the lithium-ion batteries of Embodiments 1-15 and Comparative examples 1-8 are charged with a constant current at a rate of 0.5 C to 4.45V, then charged with a constant voltage to a current of 0.05 C, then discharged with a constant current of 0.5 C to 3.0V, then repeat the charge and discharge as above and respectively calculate the capacity retention rates after 50 cycles, 100 cycles and 300 cycles. 
         [0131]    Capacity retention rate after n cycles=(discharge capacity after the n th  cycle/discharge capacity after the first cycle)×100%. Relevant data is shown in Table 2. 
         [0132]    (2) Test for high-temperature storage performance of battery 
         [0133]    The following test is conducted to each of the batteries obtained in Embodiments 1˜15 and Comparative examples 1˜8: 
         [0134]    At 25° C., a battery is charged with a constant current of 0.5 C to 4.45V, charged with a constant voltage of 4.45V to a current of 0.025 C and let to be in a fully charged state when the measured thickness is the thickness before storage; then, the battery is respectively stored at 85° C. for 4 hours and 60° C. for 30 days, the thicknesses of the battery after storage are respectively measured, and the thickness expansion rate of the battery after storage at different conditions are calculated in the following formula. The thicknesses of the batteries after storage at different conditions are shown in Table 2. 
         [0000]      Thickness expansion rate of battery=[(thickness before storage−thickness after storage)/thickness before storage]×100%

         [0135]    (3) Hot-Box Test 
         [0136]    The following test is conducted to each of the batteries obtained in Embodiments 1˜15 and Comparative examples 1˜8: 
         [0137]    1) charging the battery with a constant current of 1.0 C to 4.45V, then charging with a constant voltage until the current reduces to 0.05 C, and then stop charging. 
         [0138]    2) placing the battery in a hot box, increasing the temperature from 25° C. to 150° C. at a heating rate of 5° C./min, maintaining the temperature at 150° C. and begin timing, 1 hour later, observing the state of the battery; the standard for passing the test includes no fuming, no fire and no explosion, and each group has 5 batteries. The result of hot-box test for each battery is shown in Table 4. 
         [0139]    The safety performance of the battery is characterized by the above hot-box test.

         [0140]    It can be known from the relevant data in Tables 2˜4 that, in Comparative examples 1˜8, Comparative examples 3˜6 containing only one of carbonate dimer and fluoroether of the additive A have reduced capacity retention rate and reduced rate performance due to relatively high impedance during the formation of the film. However, Embodiments 1˜11 adopt the combination of ester dimer and fluoroether compound, which can reduce the thickness of the SEI film on the positive electrode surface and reduce the impedance, and improve uniformity and stability of the SEI film formed on the positive electrode surface, so as to improve the rate performance and low-temperature discharge performance of the lithium-ion battery. Such effect is particularly significant in Embodiments 12˜14 which adopt a combination of carbonate dimer or carboxylate dimer and sultone dimmer, since the formed complex SEI film has a stable structure and thus has good stability during cycling, and will not readily be decomposed and re-formed repeatedly during cycling. The batteries of Embodiments 1˜15 perform better than the batteries of Comparative examples 1˜8 in capacity retention rate, rate performance, low-temperature discharge performance and safety performance after cycling at 45° C. 
         [0141]    The lithium-ion battery will have further improved cycle performance if the additives further include the additive C, for example, the lithium-ion battery has relatively high capacity retention rate after a plurality of cycles at a voltage≧4.45V, and further improved rate performance and low-temperature discharge performance.
