Solution Overview

Problem

Water vapor can enter all-solid-state batteries, leading to the generation of gases like hydrogen sulfide when moisture contacts the solid electrolyte, which can increase internal pressure and compromise battery performance.

Innovation Solution

Incorporating a resin film that acts as a water and gas absorbent to prevent moisture contact with the solid electrolyte and absorb any generated gases, ensuring the film is in contact with at least part of the solid electrolyte, positive electrode layer, and negative electrode layer, and can be shaped as a frame surrounding the electrolyte.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If water vapor enters the battery case, then moisture contacts the solid electrolyte, but gas such as hydrogen sulfide is generated which increases internal pressure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresistance to moisture contactVSAvoidgas generation from moisture contact
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

A resin film containing water absorbent and gas absorbent is introduced as an intermediary component between the external environment and the solid electrolyte. The water absorbent in the resin film captures water vapor before it reaches the solid electrolyte, while the gas absorbent captures any gas generated from moisture contact, preventing internal pressure increase

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The resin film performs preliminary absorption of water vapor and generated gas before these substances can contact the solid electrolyte and cause harmful reactions. By pre-capturing water vapor in the resin film, the system prevents the chemical reaction that would generate gas and increase pressure

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If the resin film contains water absorbent and gas absorbent, then moisture contact and gas absorption are improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to absorb gasVSAvoidstructure of resin film
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The resin film merges multiple functional components into a single integrated structure. Both the water absorbent and gas absorbent are incorporated into the same resin film matrix, allowing simultaneous moisture capture and gas absorption functions in one component rather than requiring separate layers or structures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The resin film serves multiple protective functions simultaneously: it acts as a water vapor barrier, a gas absorption medium, and an internal pressure control mechanism. This multi-functionality reduces the need for additional separate components, offsetting the complexity of the resin film composition

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
