Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of lithium-ion battery manufacturing technology, specifically relating to a multi-layer tab directional flow liquid injection process for a full-tab battery. Background Technology
[0002] All-tab batteries have been widely used in the new energy vehicle industry due to their excellent low internal resistance and high rate performance. However, traditional electrolyte injection processes face problems such as uneven electrolyte distribution, long immersion time, and residual air bubbles, which seriously affect the overall performance and stability of the battery.
[0003] In existing technologies, a single tab structure combined with conventional vacuum electrolyte injection is commonly used. However, when multiple electrode layers are stacked, the electrolyte often has difficulty effectively penetrating to the central region of the battery, affecting the electrochemical performance of the central region. Simultaneously, densely packed tab areas are prone to liquid resistance, further increasing the difficulty of uniform electrolyte distribution. Summary of the Invention
