Gel Electrolyte Precursor Composition for Battery Safety

The patent applies preliminary action by introducing a gelling promoter that enables the electrolyte to transition from liquid to gel state after vacuum filling. The liquid precursor composition is filled into the battery first, then converted to gel form in situ, avoiding the need to handle high-viscosity gel during the filling process while still achieving the safety benefits of gel electrolyte.

The patent applies parameter changes by carefully controlling the composition ratios of carbonate compounds (cyclic and chain types), gelling promoter concentration, and metal salt content. By adjusting these parameters, the electrolyte achieves optimal balance between gel structure formation (for safety) and ionic conductivity (for power), resulting in conductivity of at least 10 mS/cm while maintaining gel state.

The patent applies phase transitions by utilizing the transition from liquid to gel state. The electrolyte is introduced as a liquid precursor for easy filling, then undergoes phase transition to gel form to provide safety benefits. This phase change enables the system to maintain the high energy capacity of non-aqueous electrolytes while eliminating leakage and explosion risks through gel structure formation.
