AI Technical Summary
Existing pouch cells are difficult to effectively vent and depressurize, leading to pressure buildup inside the cells, which may cause leakage and safety hazards, especially in cells made of soft materials where explosion-proof valves are difficult to install.
A breathable pressure relief electrode tab is designed, including a metal conductor and a functional membrane. The functional membrane has an exhaust channel. One end of the exhaust channel is connected to the inside of the battery cell, and the other end is designed to be outside the top seal of the battery cell. The sealing functional membrane and the breathable functional membrane are made of modified polyolefin material to ensure that the gas can pass through in one direction under the pressure difference and prevent water vapor from entering.
This achieves stable release of internal pressure within the battery cell, improving the cell's reliability and lifespan, and ensuring the safety performance of the cell's packaging area.
