Solution Overview

Problem

Laminated fully solid-state batteries face issues with adhesion between layers in high temperature environments due to insufficient heat resistance of packaging materials, leading to deterioration in lamination strength and sealing performance.

Innovation Solution

A power storage device packaging material comprising a laminate with a substrate layer, a barrier layer, and a sealant layer, where an adhesive layer containing a polyurethane-based compound made from a reaction product of polyester polyol resin and polyfunctional isocyanate, specifically isophorone diisocyanate, provides excellent lamination strength and deep drawing formability in both room and high temperature environments.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Temperature

If epoxy adhesive is used to provide heat resistance, then adhesion at high temperature is improved, but lamination strength and formability at room temperature deteriorate due to brittleness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveheat resistanceVSAvoidlamination strength
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the adhesive by specifying a polyurethane-based compound made from polyester polyol and polyfunctional isocyanate with specific functional groups (carboxyl, hydroxyl, or amine groups). This parameter change enables the adhesive to achieve both heat resistance and flexibility, resolving the contradiction between high-temperature adhesion and room-temperature lamination strength.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The adhesive is formulated as a composite material combining polyester polyol with polyfunctional isocyanate and additional functional components (carboxyl, hydroxyl, or amine groups). This composite structure provides both the thermal stability needed for high-temperature resistance and the molecular flexibility required for strong lamination and formability at room temperature.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Ease of manufacture

If conventional adhesive is used for lamination, then manufacturing is simple, but adhesion deteriorates in high temperature environment leading to delamination

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemanufacturing simplicityVSAvoidadhesion stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent modifies the adhesive composition by incorporating polyfunctional isocyanate with specific functional groups that enhance thermal stability. This parameter change maintains the ease of application and manufacturing while significantly improving adhesion stability at high temperatures, preventing delamination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Ease of manufacture

If packaging material lacks heat resistance, then manufacturing and processing are easier, but lamination strength deteriorates at high temperature

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing easeVSAvoidlamination strength
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSStrength

Solution Approach 1:

The packaging material's adhesive layer uses a polyurethane-based compound with specific chemical parameters (polyester polyol + polyfunctional isocyanate + functional groups) that provide heat resistance. This enables the material to maintain lamination strength at high temperatures while remaining easy to process during manufacturing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
