Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional non-aqueous electrolyte solutions are used, then the battery operates normally, but the rate of temperature increase accelerates rapidly during internal short circuits
Solution Approach 1:
The phosphazene compound acts as an intermediary substance that mediates between the metal surface and the electrolyte. It forms a coating film on the metal surface, which serves as an intermediate layer to increase electronic resistance and suppress heat generation during internal short circuits, thereby resolving the contradiction between normal operation and safety during abnormal conditions
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the chemical composition parameter of the electrolyte by introducing phosphazene compounds with specific molecular structures (Formula 1 and Formula 2). This parameter change enables the formation of protective coating films on metal surfaces, fundamentally altering the electrical and thermal properties of the electrolyte system to suppress temperature increase rates during short circuits
2Reliability
If additives are incorporated into improve battery performance, then battery performance improves, but the complexity of the electrolyte composition increases
Solution Approach 1:
The phosphazene compound exhibits multi-functionality: it serves as both a performance-enhancing additive and a safety protective agent. By forming coating films on metal surfaces, it simultaneously improves battery performance and prevents thermal runaway during short circuits, thereby achieving multiple benefits without proportionally increasing system complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The invention creates a composite electrolyte system by combining phosphazene compounds with conventional electrolyte components. This composite approach integrates the beneficial properties of phosphazene (coating formation, high resistance) with the established performance of conventional electrolytes, achieving enhanced reliability without excessive complexity
