[0057] When the battery cell structure 10 is a stacking structure, the first tab 151, the second tab 152, the third tab 153 and the fourth tab 154 can be arranged on the same side in the height direction of the battery cell structure 10 (see Figure 8 ), or can be distributed on both sides in the height direction of the battery cell structure 10 (see Figures 10-11 ).
[0058] Further, the first positive active material layer 114 and the second positive active material layer 115 are different, and / or the first negative active material layer 124 and the second negative active material layer 125 are different. That is, the first positive active material layer 114 and the second positive active material layer 115 can be different, and at the same time, the first negative active material layer 124 and the second negative active material layer 125 can be different, or the first positive active material layer 114 and the second positive active material layer 115 can be different, or the first negative active material layer 124 and the second negative active material layer 125 can be different. Such an arrangement makes the plurality of independent lithium ion batteries different, and by designing the performance of the plurality of independent lithium ion batteries, the performance defects of a single active material lithium battery can be improved.
[0059] It should be noted that the first positive active material layer 114 and the second positive active material layer 115 being different can mean that the types of active materials of the first positive active material layer 114 and the second positive active material layer 115 are different, or that the types of active materials of the first positive active material layer 114 and the second positive active material layer 115 are the same, but the particle size, specific surface area, gram capacity, etc. are different. It can be understood that, in addition to containing active materials, the first positive active material layer 114 and the second positive active material layer 115 can also contain adhesives, conductive agents, etc.
[0060] Regardless of whether the active material of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 is the same or different, the active material of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 can be selected from lithium iron phosphate, single-crystal lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, polycrystal lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium titanate, lithium manganate, or lithium cobaltate, and the active material of the second positive electrode active material layer 115 can also be selected from lithium iron phosphate, single-crystal lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, polycrystal lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, lithium titanate, lithium manganate, or lithium cobaltate.

The specific surface area of the lithium iron phosphate is 8-16 m 2 / g, and the specific capacity is 100-160 mAh / g. Optionally, the tap density of the lithium iron phosphate is 2.1-2.6 g / cm 3 , and the particle arrangement is good.

The specific surface area of the single-crystal lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide is 0.3-0.6 m 2 / g, and the specific capacity is 160-210 mAh / g. Optionally, the coating amount of the single-crystal lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide is 10-26 mg / cm 2 .

[0065] The heavier the coating amount of the active material of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115, the less likely to dry, low coating efficiency, and prone to cracking. Large coating amount, large DCR, large polarization, not conducive to capacity development, large cell heating. But the large coating amount can improve the energy density. If the coating amount is small, the thickness is thin, the path of ion migration into the internal active material is shorter, which is conducive to improving the rate. The coating amount of the active material of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 in the embodiment of the application is appropriate, which is conducive to the cell structure 10 having good comprehensive performance.

It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the carbon-coated amount of the lithium iron phosphate of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 can be greater than the carbon-coated amount of the lithium iron phosphate of the second positive electrode active material layer 115, or the carbon-coated amount of the lithium iron phosphate of the second positive electrode active material layer 115 can be greater than the carbon-coated amount of the lithium iron phosphate of the first positive electrode active material layer 114.
[0075] Optionally, the weight of the carbon-coated layer is 0.8-1.6% of the total weight of the carbon-coated layer and the lithium iron phosphate, for example, 0.8%, 0.9%, 1.0%, 1.2%, 1.4%, 1.5%, or 1.6%.
[0076] In a possible embodiment, the specific surface area of the active material of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 is different by 0.1-8 m 2 / g.
[0077] The specific surface area of the particles = total surface of the particles / total mass, so the specific surface area of the particles is large, the particle size of the corresponding particles is small, and the ions have more entry paths, so the rate is good. However, a large specific surface area consumes more lithium ions to form an SEI film, and the first efficiency is low. In the embodiments of the present application, the specific surface area of the active material of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 is different by 0.1-8 m 2 / g, which not only ensures the difference between the two lithium ion batteries, but also complements the performance of the lithium ion battery composed of the positive electrode active material layer of the active material with a small specific surface area and the lithium ion battery composed of the positive electrode active material layer of the active material with a large specific surface area, so that the entire battery structure has a good rate and a good first efficiency. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the specific surface area of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 can be greater than the specific surface area of the active material of the second positive electrode active material layer 115, or the specific surface area of the active material of the second positive electrode active material layer 115 can be greater than the specific surface area of the active material of the first positive electrode active material layer 114.
[0078] For example, the specific surface area of the active material of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 is different by 0.1 m 2 / g, 0.5 m 2 / g, 1 m 2 / g, 2 m 2 / g, 3 m 2 / g, 4m 2 / g, 5m 2 / g, 6m 2 / g, 7m 2 / g or 8m 2 / g.
[0079] In a possible implementation, the gram capacity of the active material of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 is different by 10-60 mAh / g.
[0080] A high gram capacity of the active material can reduce the coating thickness, thereby reducing the process difficulty and improving the energy density. If the gram capacity of the active material of the same material is small, the coating thickness needs to be increased, and the energy density of the battery is low, but the cost is generally low. In the embodiment of the application, the gram capacity of the active material of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 is different by 10-60 mAh / g, which not only ensures the difference between the two lithium ion batteries, but also the performance of the lithium ion battery composed of the positive electrode active material layer of the active material with small gram capacity and the lithium ion battery composed of the positive electrode active material layer of the active material with large gram capacity can be complementary. The entire battery structure has high discharge rate, high initial energy density and appropriate cost. It should be noted that in the embodiment of the application, the gram capacity of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 can be greater than the gram capacity of the active material of the second positive electrode active material layer 115, or the gram capacity of the second positive electrode active material layer 115 can be greater than the gram capacity of the active material of the first positive electrode active material layer 114.
[0081] Exemplarily, the gram capacity of the active material of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 is different by 10 mAh / g, 20 mAh / g, 30 mAh / g, 40 mAh / g, 50 mAh / g or 60 mAh / g.
[0082] Optionally, the compaction density of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 is different by ≥0.02 g / cm 3 , for example, 0.02 g / cm 3 , 0.04 g / cm 3 , 0.06 g / cm 3 , 0.08 g / cm 3 , 0.10 g / cm 3 , 0.15 g / cm 3 , 0.20 g / cm 3 .
[0083] In a possible implementation, the thickness difference between the first conductive layer 112 and the second conductive layer 113 is 0.1-1 μm, for example, 0.1 μm, 0.3 μm, 0.5 μm, 0.8 μm, or 1 μm. The thickness of the first conductive layer 112 and the second conductive layer 113 is 0.1-3 μm, for example, 0.1 μm, 0.5 μm, 1 μm, 2 μm, or 3 μm.
[0084] In a possible implementation, the thickness difference between the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 is 5-50 μm, for example, 5 μm, 10 μm, 20 μm, 30 μm, 40 μm, or 50 μm.
[0085] The thicknesses of the first conductive layer 112, the second conductive layer 113, the first positive electrode active material layer 114, and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 affect the process difficulty. If the thickness is too thick, it is not easy to dry, the coating efficiency is low, and cracks are likely to occur. The thicknesses of the first conductive layer, the second conductive layer, the first positive electrode active material layer 114, and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 in the embodiments of the present application are appropriate, the path of ion migration into the internal active material is short, the polarization is small, which is conducive to the rate charge and discharge, and the DCR is small, and the cycle performance is good.
[0086] The following describes the case where the active materials of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 are different. When the active materials of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 are different, the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 can be ensured to be different by any one or more of the following schemes.

Exemplarily, the active material of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 is polycrystal lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, and the active material of the second positive electrode active material layer 115 is single-crystal lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide. Exemplarily, the active material of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 is polycrystal lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide, and the active material of the second positive electrode active material layer 115 is single-crystal lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide.
[0088] In a possible embodiment, the D10 particle size of the active materials of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 differs by 1-3 μm, the D50 particle size differs by 2-5 μm, and the D90 particle size differs by 3-25 μm.
[0089] The active material with large particle size has a long ion migration path but poor rate, and the active material with small particle size has good rate and is less likely to form a dead zone inside the particle, thus having long cycle life. In the case where the active materials of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 are different, by setting the D10 particle size of the active materials of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 to differ by 1-3 μm, the D50 particle size to differ by 2-5 μm, and the D90 particle size to differ by 3-25 μm, the lithium ion battery composed of the positive electrode active material layer of the active material with small particle size can improve the defect of poor rate of the lithium ion battery composed of the positive electrode active material layer of the active material with large particle size. It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, the particle size of the active material of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 can be larger than that of the active material of the second positive electrode active material layer 115, or the particle size of the active material of the second positive electrode active material layer 115 can be larger than that of the active material of the first positive electrode active material layer 114.

[0092] Exemplarily, the D90 particle size of the active materials of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 differs by 3 μm, 5 μm, 8 μm, 10 μm, 13 μm, 15 μm, 20 μm or 25 μm.
[0093] In a possible embodiment, the specific surface area of the active materials of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 differs by 7-15 m 2 / g.
[0094] The specific surface area of the particles is large, the corresponding particle size is small, the ion has more entry paths, and thus the rate is good. However, the specific surface area is large, and the formation of the SEI film consumes more lithium ions, and the first efficiency is low. In the embodiments of the present application, in the case where the types of the active materials of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 are different, the specific surface area of the active materials of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 differs by 7-15 m 2 / g, not only can the two lithium ion batteries be different, but also the performance of the lithium ion battery composed of the positive electrode active material layer of the active material with small specific surface area and the lithium ion battery composed of the positive electrode active material layer of the active material with large specific surface area can be complementary, and the entire battery structure has good rate and good first efficiency.
[0095] Exemplarily, the specific surface area of the active materials of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 differs by 7 m 2 / g, 8 m 2 / g, 9 m 2 / g, 10 m 2 / g, 11 m 2 / g, 12 m 2 / g, 13 m 2 / g, 14 m 2 / g or 15 m 2 / g.
[0096] In a possible embodiment, the specific surface area of the active materials of the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 differs by 7-15 m

[0101] The thickness of the first conductive layer 112 and the second conductive layer 113 is 0.1-3 μm, for example, 0.1 μm, 0.5 μm, 1 μm, 2 μm or 3 μm.
[0102] The thickness of the first conductive layer 112, the second conductive layer 113, the first positive electrode active material layer 114 and the second positive electrode active material layer 115 affects the process difficulty.

In addition, compared with Comparative Example 1, the active material particle size of the second positive electrode active material layer of Example 1 is small, the kinetic performance is good, the electrochemical impedance and concentration difference impedance are relatively small, the thickness of the first conductive layer is unchanged, the ohmic impedance is unchanged, and therefore the overall DCR is reduced. In addition, the mesocarbon microbead particle size distribution of the second negative electrode active material layer is relatively narrow and small, the thickness of the second conductive layer is increased, and the DCR is relatively small.
[0147] Compared with Comparative Example 1, the active material of the second positive electrode active material layer of Example 2 is polycrystalline nickel-cobalt-manganese (811 system), the specific capacity of the polycrystalline nickel-cobalt-manganese material is much higher than that of lithium iron phosphate, and the weight per unit is also much heavier than that of lithium iron phosphate, so the coating weight and the compaction density are both larger, and finally the weight energy density is also greatly improved. In addition, the active material of the second positive electrode active material layer has a large particle size and a small specific surface area, so the cycle number is greatly reduced. The polycrystalline nickel-cobalt-manganese material has good conductivity, so it does not need carbon coating, and the overall rate performance is improved. The performance of the polycrystalline nickel-cobalt-manganese material at low temperature is relatively good, so the working temperature interval of the battery cell can be extended to-25℃ at low temperature. Compared with Comparative Example 1, the active material of the second negative electrode active material layer adopts silicon-carbon material, has high specific capacity, and the coating weight and the thickness of the electrode sheet are both reduced, so the energy density is also improved compared with Comparative Example 1. Because the volume expansion of Example 2 is large during the cycle process, the particles are easily broken, which causes the cycle performance to be slightly attenuated. In addition, compared with Comparative Example 1, the active material of the second positive electrode active material layer is polycrystalline nickel-cobalt-manganese, has good conductivity, is beneficial to reducing the ohmic impedance, and increases the thickness of the second conductive layer to improve the current-carrying capacity, thereby greatly reducing the ohmic impedance. The electrochemical impedance and the concentration difference impedance of the polycrystalline nickel-cobalt-manganese are not larger than those of lithium iron phosphate, so the overall DCR is greatly reduced. Compared with Comparative Example 1, the silicon-carbon material of Example 2 has slightly reduced conductivity (which will cause the DCR to increase), but the thickness of the conductive layer is increased, and the overall effect is that the negative electrode slightly increases the DCR, but the positive electrode greatly affects the DCR, so the overall DCR is reduced.
