The invention relates to a step special-shaped
battery cell and a preparation method thereof and a step special-shaped
lithium ion battery, the step special-shaped
battery cell comprises a first
battery cell unit and a second battery
cell unit which are arranged in a stacked mode, and in the length direction and the width direction, the size of the first battery
cell unit is larger than that of the second battery
cell unit; the first battery cell unit and the second battery cell unit respectively comprise a first positive
pole piece, a second positive
pole piece, a first negative
pole piece, a second negative pole piece and a diaphragm; the first positive pole piece and the second positive pole piece respectively and independently comprise a first positive active material, and the first negative pole piece and the second negative pole piece respectively and independently comprise a first negative active material; the second positive pole piece further comprises a second positive active material, and the second negative pole piece further comprises a second negative active material. According to the step special-shaped battery cell provided by the invention, by adding the high-rate second positive
electrode active material and the high-rate second negative
electrode active material, the current
bearing capacity of the small second battery cell unit is effectively improved, and the
current distribution between the small second battery cell unit and the high-rate second negative
electrode active material is improved, so that the capacity
retention ratio and the safety performance of the step special-shaped battery are greatly improved.
