Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a cyclic phosphate additive with a specific molecular structure containing oxygen-containing rings that form porous SEI films. The porous structure creates cavity channels that facilitate ion transport while maintaining film integrity, thereby improving high-temperature and low-temperature performance without compromising room-temperature cycle stability.

Inventive Principle:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs a cyclic phosphate additive with ring structures that self-assemble to form SEI films containing controlled porosity. The oxygen-containing rings create cavity channels that maintain structural stability while providing pathways for efficient ion transport, resolving the contradiction between film density and ion conductivity.

Inventive Principle:
