With the rapid development of lithium ion batteries with higher energy density, higher power density and high security, the research of new functional electrolytes has attracted considerable attention in novel materials field for lithium ion batteries. In this paper, the recent research advances of key technologies on the application of lithium salts and additive functional electrolytes in lithium ion batteries are reviewed, especially on the results of our research team focusing on new functional electrolytes based on lithium organic borate salt, such as lithium bis(oxalato) borate [ LiBOB ] and lithium oxalyldifluoroborate [ LiODFB ~, and sulfite additives for the purpose of improving security, temperature adaptability and the compatibility between electrolytes and electrodes of lithium ion batteries. These electrolytes exhibit high thermal stability and good electrochemical properties. Moreover, lithium organic borate salt and sulfite have been investigated as new solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) film-forming materials. The formation of a stable passivating film on the graphite surface is believed to be the reason for the improved cell performance, including cycle life, self-discharge, coulombic efficiency and irreversible capacity. Furthermore, current problems as well as the corresponding research directions are discussed, and the possible application prospects are also proposed.
