Non-aqueous electrolyte and battery

Abstract

Provided are a non-aqueous electrolyte comprising a solvent, an electrolyte salt and a first additive, wherein the first additive is selected from at least one of the compounds as shown in structural formula 1: A-D-B-E-C, structural formula 1, wherein A, B, and C are each independently selected from the group consisting of cyclic carbonate groups, cyclic sulfate groups, cyclic sulfite groups, cyclic sulfonate groups, cyclic sulfone groups, cyclic sulfoxide groups, cyclic carboxylate groups or cyclic anhydride groups; D and E are each independently selected from single bond, or groups containing hydrocarbylene groups, ether bonds, sulfur-oxygen double bonds or carbon-oxygen double bonds; and the content of methanol in the non-aqueous electrolyte is 200 ppm or less. Further disclosed is a battery comprising the non-aqueous electrolyte.
