Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional electrolytes are used in lithium secondary batteries, then the battery can operate normally, but the rate of increase in normal-temperature resistance during high-temperature storage becomes excessively high

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenormal-temperature resistance stabilityVSAvoidstorage duration at high temperature
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDuration of action of stationary object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by introducing compounds (I) and (II) that proactively form protective coating films on electrode surfaces before high-temperature storage conditions cause excessive resistance increase. These compounds react in advance to create stable interface layers that prevent subsequent degradation, thereby reducing the rate of resistance increase during storage while maintaining normal battery operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Temperature

If high-temperature storage is performed, then the battery undergoes aging and resistance increases, but the rate of resistance increase needs to be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage temperatureVSAvoidresistance increase rate
Core Design Contradiction:
TemperatureVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses compounds (I) and (II) as intermediary substances that mediate between the high-temperature storage environment and the electrode interfaces. These compounds form intermediate coating films that act as buffer layers, reducing the direct harmful impact of high temperature on the electrode-electrolyte interface, thereby suppressing the rate of resistance increase during storage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Duration of action of stationary object

If electrolyte decomposition occurs during storage, then battery performance degrades, but this decomposition needs to be minimized

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvestorage durationVSAvoidelectrolyte decomposition
Core Design Contradiction:
Duration of action of stationary objectVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary anti-action by using compounds (I) and (II) to pre-form stable protective films on electrode surfaces before electrolyte decomposition can occur during high-temperature storage. These pre-formed films act as barriers that prevent or reduce electrolyte decomposition reactions, thereby minimizing substance loss and maintaining battery performance over extended storage periods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action
