Abstract

An improved electrolyte including a fire-retardant additive suitable for application in wide temperature cell and/or battery operation with safer cell design, a battery including the electrolyte and a separator optionally containing a fire-retardant additive, improved electrical and thermal conductive electrodes are disclosed. The presence of the fire-retardant additive reduces flammability of the electrolyte and improved the overall safety of the battery.
