Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of battery manufacturing, and in particular relates to a manufacturing method of a primary lithium-based reserve battery and a battery module. Background Art

[0002] At present, most of the power batteries used in aviation, land and underwater vehicles are lithium-based thermal batteries or silver-zinc batteries. When the silver-zinc battery is started, the electrolyte is injected into the battery to activate it, establish the positive and negative electrode voltages, and then output electrical energy. Since there is no electrolyte inside the silver-zinc battery during storage, there is no leakage problem of the positive and negative electrodes, and the storage time is long. However, the silver-zinc battery is expensive and has a low specific energy of only 40-110wh / kg. In order to increase the energy density, improve the device's cruising range and the real-time maneuverability of the device, some aircraft have gradually switched to lithium-ion batteries for power supply. As we all know, although the lithium-ion secondary battery has a relatively large specific energy of 140-280wh / kg, it has a certain self-discharge problem and a relatively short storage time. At the same time, the electrolyte components inside it, such as diethyl carbonate, are volatile and flammable solvents. Once thermal runaway occurs, the electrolyte is released into the aircraft cabin, posing a risk of explosion. Although the lithium-based thermal battery has a long storage time, it has the disadvantages of low specific energy and high cost. Summary of the invention
