The invention relates to a low-temperature
electrolyte of a
lithium iron phosphate battery. The low-temperature
electrolyte includes the following solvents of, by volume, 30%-45% of carbonic ester
solvent, 50%-65% of
carboxylic ester solvent and 4%-10% of additive. The solvents contain solute
lithium, the
lithium is LiPF6 or a combination of the LiPF6 and LiBF4, and the concentration of the lithium is 0.8-1.4mol / L. The low-temperature
electrolyte is a nonaqueous electrolyte, through optimization of kinds and proportioning combination of the solvents of the electrolyte, low-
viscosity carbonic ester and low-melting-point
carboxylic ester are selected and used, the
freezing point at low temperature is lowered, and low-temperature
conductivity is increased. According to the low-temperature electrolyte, the lithium of the electrolyte is optimized, the low-temperature additive is selected preferably, normal-temperature circulation ratio performance of the electrolyte is maintained, and meanwhile, the low-temperature capacity
retention ratio of the
lithium iron phosphate battery and the ratio performance of the
lithium iron phosphate battery are improved. The commercial application requirements of the electrolyte can be met, the low-temperature performance of the electrolyte is improved particularly, and therefore the electrolyte is suitable for
aerospace and
plateau alpine environment.
