Solution Overview

Problem

Energy storage devices experience degradation in power performance when exposed to elevated temperatures or subjected to repeated charging and discharging, which is not adequately suppressed by using unsaturated sultone compounds as additives in the electrolyte solution.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating specific compounds represented by general formulas (1), (2), and (3) into the electrolyte solution, along with a negative active material of non-graphitizable carbon, to enhance the stability and performance of energy storage devices under elevated temperature conditions.
