The present disclosure provides an overcharging preventive electrolyte and a lithium-ion battery. The overcharging preventive electrolyte can improve the safety performance of a lithium-ion battery without affecting the cycle performance thereof. The overcharging preventive electrolyte comprises a lithium salt, a non-aqueous organic solvent, and a combined additive including an additive A and an additive B. The additive A is at least one selected from Formula 1, Formula 2, and Formula 3; the additive B is at least one selected from Formula 4, Formula 5, and Formula 6.
