AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing secondary batteries have problems such as hydrolyzed electrolytes, hydrogen generation, water evaporation and freezing expansion in low-temperature environments, which affect their discharge performance.

Method used

Using an electrolyte containing polymer microgel particles and water, the electrolyte can change its form reversibly when temperature changes, from liquid to gel or vice versa, reducing water evaporation and freezing expansion.

Benefits of technology

Maintain good discharge performance in low-temperature and high-temperature environments, avoid hydrolysis and hydrogen generation, and improve the stability and service life of the battery.
