[0032] Embodiment:

[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the novel negative electrode structure 10 provided in the embodiments of the present application.

[0034] The embodiments of the present application provide a novel negative electrode structure 10, which has the characteristics of large charging capacity and strong charging and discharging capability. The novel negative electrode structure 10 can be applied to batteries and battery systems, etc. When the novel negative electrode structure 10 is applied to a battery, the novel negative electrode structure 10 can be arranged close to the positive electrode structure of the battery, so that the battery can perform the charging and discharging process. Since the battery adopts the novel negative electrode structure provided in the embodiments of the present application, the battery also has the characteristics of large charging capacity and strong charging and discharging capability.

[0035] The following will specifically introduce the structure composition, working principle and beneficial effects of the novel negative electrode structure 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 2 The structure schematic diagram of the carrier 11 of the novel negative electrode structure 10 provided by the embodiment of the present application.

[0037] The novel negative electrode structure 10 includes the carrier 11 and the separator 12. Wherein, one side of the carrier 11 is the first adsorption side 111, the first adsorption side 111 is provided with the adsorption hole 113, and the inner wall of the adsorption hole 113 is used for adsorbing lithium ions. And the separator 12 is covered on the first adsorption side 111, so as to separate the positive electrode structure and the carrier 11. In this way, in the charging process of the battery, the lithium ions reach the novel negative electrode structure 10 and are embedded on the inner wall of the adsorption hole 113 on the carrier 11. Since the lithium ions are adsorbed by the inner wall of the adsorption hole 113, the adsorption space is large, and more lithium ions can be stored, so as to improve the charging capacity of the novel negative electrode structure 10. The large adsorption space makes the diffusion speed of lithium ions faster, improves the charging and discharging capacity of the novel negative electrode structure 10, and reduces the probability of forming lithium dendrites.

[0038] It should be noted that in the embodiment, the carrier 11 is a metal carrier 11. And the carrier 11 can be copper, nickel or the like. By using a metal material carrier 11, the ability of the novel negative electrode structure 10 to adsorb lithium ions is further improved, and the charging and discharging capacity is increased.

[0039] In addition, in the embodiment, the number of adsorption holes 113 can be multiple, and the multiple adsorption holes 113 are uniformly distributed on the first adsorption side 111, so as to improve the charging and discharging capacity of the novel negative electrode structure 10 by the multiple adsorption holes 113 adsorbing lithium ions together.

[0040] Further, the adsorption hole 113 can penetrate the carrier 11. In this way, the space for adsorbing lithium ions is further increased, and the diffusion speed of lithium ions is improved, further reducing the harm of lithium dendrites.

[0041] It should be noted that in the embodiment, the other side of the carrier 11 opposite to the first adsorption side 111 is the second adsorption side 112, and the adsorption hole 113 is through the first adsorption side 111 to the second adsorption side 112. The new negative electrode structure 10 can include multiple diaphragms 12, part of the diaphragms 12 cover the first adsorption side 111, and part of the diaphragms 12 cover the second adsorption side 112. The diaphragm 12 covers the second adsorption side 112 to separate the positive electrode structure and the carrier 11. In this way, the throughly arranged adsorption hole 113 increases the space for adsorbing lithium ions, and the diaphragm 12 is arranged on both sides to facilitate the diffusion of lithium ions from both ends of the adsorption hole 113, further improving the diffusion speed of lithium ions and further reducing the harm of lithium dendrites.

[0042] Further, the diaphragm 12 can be provided with an adsorption via hole (not shown in the figure), and the adsorption via hole is opposite to the adsorption hole 113, that is, the diaphragm 12 covers the first adsorption side 111 and the second adsorption side 112, and leaves a passage for lithium ions to pass through through the adsorption via hole, or only leaves the adsorption hole 113, further improves the diffusion speed of lithium ions, and makes the lithium ions can only be adsorbed on the inner wall of the adsorption hole 113, so as to reduce the probability of lithium dendrites piercing the diaphragm 12, further reducing the harm of lithium dendrites.

[0043] It should be noted that in the embodiment, the opening shape and size of the adsorption via hole are the same as those of the adsorption hole 113, and the adsorption via hole is arranged opposite to the adsorption hole 113, that is, the opening edge of the adsorption via hole extends along the opening edge of the adsorption hole 113. In the embodiment, the adsorption hole 113 is a circular hole, and the adsorption via hole is also a circular hole, and the adsorption hole 113 and the adsorption via hole are concentrically arranged, and the diameter of the adsorption hole 113 is the same as that of the adsorption via hole. Of course, in other embodiments, the adsorption hole 113 and the adsorption via hole can also be other shapes, such as an ellipse.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 The structure schematic diagram of the carrier 11 of the new negative electrode structure 10 provided in the embodiment is shown.

[0045] The new negative electrode structure 10 can include multiple carriers 11, and the multiple carriers 11 are sequentially stacked, and the adsorption holes 113 of the adjacent two carriers 11 are communicated, that is, in the adjacent two carriers 11, the adsorption hole 113 on the upper carrier 11 is butted with the adsorption hole 113 on the lower carrier 11 to form a larger space for lithium ion diffusion and adsorption, further improving the charge and discharge capacity of the new negative electrode structure 10.

[0046] Further, part of the separator 12 is located between two adjacent carriers 11, and part of the separator 12 is located on the top surface of the top carrier 11 and the bottom surface of the bottom carrier 11, in other words, the two adjacent carriers 11 can be separated by the separator 12, and the top and bottom of the multi-layer carrier 11 can be closed by the separator 12, so that the carriers 11 at different positions can be directly connected to the charging and discharging circuit, and the uniformity of the electric field in the adsorption holes 113 of each carrier 11 is improved.

[0047] The working principle of the novel negative electrode structure 10 provided by the embodiment of the application is as follows:

[0048] The novel negative electrode structure 10 comprises a carrier 11 and a separator 12. One side of the carrier 11 is a first adsorption side 111, and the first adsorption side 111 is provided with an adsorption hole 113, and the inner wall of the adsorption hole 113 is used for adsorbing lithium ions. The separator 12 is arranged on the first adsorption side 111, so as to separate the positive electrode structure and the carrier 11. In this way, in the charging process of the battery, the lithium ions reach the novel negative electrode structure 10 and are embedded on the inner wall of the adsorption hole 113 on the carrier 11. Since the lithium ions are adsorbed by the inner wall of the adsorption hole 113, the adsorption space is large, and more lithium ions can be stored, the charging capacity of the novel negative electrode structure 10 is improved, the diffusion speed of the lithium ions is fast due to the large adsorption space, the charging and discharging capacity of the novel negative electrode structure 10 is improved, and the probability of forming lithium dendrites is reduced.

[0049] In summary:

[0050] The embodiment of the application provides a novel negative electrode structure, which has the characteristics of large charging capacity and strong charging and discharging capacity.
