Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of batteries, and in particular to a winding core and a battery. Background Art

[0002] Lithium-ion batteries have the advantages of high energy density, high operating platform voltage, customizable size, and no memory, and are widely used in various consumer battery fields.

[0003] In order to pursue product energy density, thin copper foil and high negative electrode compaction are increasingly used. At the same time, the different sizes and designs of various consumer battery compartments will lead to various process defects in the battery preparation process. For example, the negative electrode head of the lithium-ion battery contains two single-sided areas during winding (see attached). Figure 1 Due to the different forces on each side of the single-sided area, the residual stress generated in the pre-winding process is released during winding, causing the negative electrode head area to buckle during winding. This buckling leads to poor interfacial contact and negatively affects reliability in subsequent long-term use. Therefore, overcoming these technical problems and defects has become a key issue that needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0012] The negative electrode sheet includes a double-layer fabric area, a first single-layer fabric area, and a hollow foil area located at the starting end of the negative electrode sheet, wherein the first single-layer fabric area is connected between the double-layer fabric area and the hollow foil area, the hollow foil area is located at the first fold of the negative electrode sheet, and the first single-layer fabric area is located at the second fold of the negative electrode sheet; or

[0013] The negative electrode sheet includes a double-fabric area, a second single-fabric area, and an empty foil area located at the starting end of the negative electrode sheet. The second single-fabric area is connected between the double-fabric area and the empty foil area. The empty foil area is located at the first fold of the negative electrode sheet. The second single-fabric area is located at the second fold and the third fold of the negative electrode sheet. Adhesive tape is provided on the side of the second single-fabric area located at the second fold of the negative electrode sheet facing away from the positive electrode sheet.

[0014] Optionally, the winding core is a square winding core, comprising a straight area in the middle and arc areas on both sides; the empty foil area is located in the straight area and the arc area of the first fold of the negative electrode sheet.

[0015] Optionally, the first single fabric area is located in the straight area and the arc area of the second fold of the negative electrode sheet.

[0016] Optionally, the second single fabric area is located in the straight area and the arc area of the second fold and the third fold of the negative electrode sheet, and the adhesive tape is arranged in the arc area of the second fold.

[0017] Optionally, the value range of a is 0.2~2.0.

[0018] Optionally, the value range of a is 0.2~0.8.

[0019] Optionally, the value range of b is 0.2~2.0.

[0020] Optionally, the value range of b is 0.3~1.5.

[0021] Optionally, the thickness h2 of the negative electrode current collector ranges from 3 to 9 μm.

[0025] A second aspect of the present invention provides a battery, comprising a battery housing and the winding core described above, wherein the winding core is disposed in the housing.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] Unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods used in the following examples are conventional methods; the materials and reagents used are commercially available reagents and materials unless otherwise specified.

[0042] like Figures 1-10 As shown, in one embodiment, the first aspect of the present invention provides a winding core 100, comprising a positive electrode sheet 2, a separator 3, and a negative electrode sheet 1. The positive electrode sheet 2, the separator 3, and the negative electrode sheet 1 are stacked in sequence and wound from a starting end to an ending end to form the winding core 100;

[0043] The negative electrode sheet 1 includes a negative electrode current collector 11 and a negative electrode active material layer 12 coated on the surface of the negative electrode current collector 11;

[0044] The winding core 100 and the negative electrode sheet 1 satisfy the relationship: (a+b)*ab+(cd) 2 >2.2;

[0045] Where, a=W / h1 / 18; b=1.2*W / L; c=5 / h2; d=x / 1.73;

[0046] W is the width of the winding core 100, in mm; h1 is the thickness of the winding core 100, in mm; L is the length of the winding core 100, in mm; h2 is the thickness of the negative electrode current collector 11, in μm; x is the compaction density of the negative electrode active material layer 12, in g / cm 3 ;

[0047] The negative electrode sheet 1 includes a double-layer fabric area 14 and an empty foil area 13 located at the starting end of the negative electrode sheet 1; the empty foil area 13 is located at the first fold 103 of the negative electrode sheet 1; or,

[0048] The negative electrode sheet 1 includes a double-layer fabric area 14, a first single-layer fabric area 15, and an empty foil area 13 located at the starting end of the negative electrode sheet 1, wherein the first single-layer fabric area 15 is connected between the double-layer fabric area 14 and the empty foil area 13, the empty foil area 13 is located at the first fold 103 of the negative electrode sheet 1, and the first single-layer fabric area 15 is located at the second fold 104 of the negative electrode sheet 1; or,

[0049] The negative electrode sheet 1 includes a double-fabric area 14, a second single-fabric area 16, and an empty foil area 13 located at the starting end of the negative electrode sheet 1. The second single-fabric area 16 is connected between the double-fabric area 14 and the empty foil area 13. The empty foil area 13 is located at the first fold 103 of the negative electrode sheet 1. The second single-fabric area 16 is located at the second fold 104 and the third fold 105 of the negative electrode sheet 1. The second single-fabric area 16 located at the second fold 104 of the negative electrode sheet 1 is provided with adhesive tape 4 on the side facing away from the positive electrode sheet 2.

[0050] Specifically, to simplify the subsequent description, the first single fabric area 15 and the second single fabric area 16 are collectively referred to as single fabric areas.

[0051] Specifically, when the length, width and thickness of the winding core 100, the thickness of the negative electrode current collector 11, and the compaction density of the negative electrode active material layer 12 satisfy 0≤(a+b)*ab+(cd) 2 When the coefficient of thermal conductivity is ≤2.2, the single surface area of the negative electrode sheet 1 is less likely to be folded during the winding production of the winding core 100, thereby improving the safe use performance of the battery.

[0052] When the length, width and thickness of the winding core 100, the thickness of the negative electrode current collector 11, and the compaction density of the negative electrode active material layer 12 satisfy (a+b)*ab+(cd) 2When the value is greater than 2.2, the single-surface area of the negative electrode sheet 1 is prone to folding during the winding production of the core 100, resulting in poor interface contact of the negative electrode sheet 1, which has a negative impact on the reliability of subsequent long-term use; however, the performance of the core has high energy density and a wider range of battery cell sizes, which is more conducive to the flexible design of the battery compartment size in electronic products.

[0053] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention adopts the following three solutions to solve the problem that the single surface area of the negative electrode sheet 1 is easily folded;

[0054] First, canceling the single surface area setting can greatly reduce the probability of the head of the negative electrode sheet 1 being folded, thereby improving the safe use performance of the battery.

[0055] The second method is to set the first single fabric area 15 of the negative electrode sheet 1 only at the second fold 104 of the negative electrode sheet 1. Compared with setting the single fabric area of the negative electrode sheet 1 at the second fold 104 and the third fold 105 of the negative electrode sheet 1, the number and length of the first single fabric area 15 are reduced, which can greatly reduce the probability of the head of the negative electrode sheet 1 being folded, thereby improving the safe use performance of the battery.

[0056] The third type is that the second single fabric area 16 of the negative electrode sheet 1 is arranged at the second fold 104 and the third fold 105 of the negative electrode sheet 1, and the adhesive tape 4 is arranged on the side of the second single fabric area 16 located at the second fold 104 of the negative electrode sheet 1 away from the positive electrode sheet 2. The adhesive tape 4 can play the role of "reinforcement ribs" to prevent the negative electrode sheet 1 from being folded when the winding core 100 is hot-pressed, thereby improving the safe use performance of the battery.

[0057] This application sets and calculates the length, width and thickness of the winding core 100, the thickness of the negative electrode current collector 11, and the compaction density of the negative electrode active material layer 12. When 0≤(a+b)*ab+(cd) is satisfied 2 When the coefficient of thermal conductivity is ≤2.2, the winding core 100 does not need to be changed, and the single-surface area of the negative electrode sheet 1 is not prone to folding.

[0058] When (a+b)*ab+(cd) 2 When >2.2, any of the above three methods can effectively reduce the probability of the negative electrode sheet 1 being folded, thereby improving the safe performance of the battery.

[0059] like Figures 1-10 As shown, in one embodiment, the winding core 100 is a square winding core 100, and the winding core 100 includes a straight area 101 located in the middle and arc areas 102 located on both sides; the empty foil area 13 is located in the straight area 101 and the arc area 102 of the first fold 103 of the negative electrode sheet 1.

[0060] The empty foil area 13 is provided in the straight area 101 and the arc area 102 of the first fold 103 of the negative electrode sheet 1 to avoid the problem of powder falling of the negative electrode active material layer 12 .

[0061] like Figure 7-Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, the first single fabric area 15 is located in the straight area 101 and the arc area 102 of the second fold 104 of the negative electrode sheet 1 .

[0062] The first single fabric area 15 is arranged in the straight area 101 and the arc area 102 of the second fold 104 of the negative electrode sheet 1. On the one hand, the number and length of the first single fabric area 15 are reduced, which can greatly reduce the probability of the head of the negative electrode sheet 1 being folded, thereby improving the safe use performance of the battery; on the other hand, it has the technical effect of reducing the thickness of the core 100 and improving the energy density of the product.

[0063] like Figure 9-10 As shown, in one embodiment, the second single fabric area 16 is located in the straight area 101 and the arc area 102 of the second fold 104 and the third fold 105 of the negative electrode sheet 1 , and the adhesive tape 4 is arranged in the arc area 102 of the second fold 104 .

[0064] The second single fabric area 16 is arranged in the straight area 101 and the arc area 102 of the second fold 104 and the third fold 105 of the negative electrode sheet 1, which has the technical effect of reducing the thickness of the core 100 and improving the energy density of the product; at the same time, the adhesive tape 4 is arranged on the side of the second single fabric area 16 located at the second fold 104 of the negative electrode sheet 1 away from the positive electrode sheet 2. The adhesive tape 4 can play the role of "reinforcement ribs" to prevent the negative electrode sheet 1 from being folded during hot pressing of the core 100, thereby improving the safe use performance of the battery.

[0065] like Figures 1-10 As shown, in one embodiment, the value range of a is 0.2~2.0.

[0066] Specifically, the value range of a is any point value among 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 or 2, or a range value consisting of any two point values.

[0067] When the value range of a is 0.2~2.0, the single-surface area of the negative electrode sheet 1 is not prone to folding, thereby improving the safe use performance of the battery. When the a value is greater than 2.0, since a=W / h1 / 18; at this time, the width of the core 100 is large, and the corresponding winding needle width is large. When winding, the tension of the negative electrode sheet 1 is likely to be too large when it passes the arc area 102 on the inner circle. Subsequently, when the winding needle is peeled off and the core 100 is hot-pressed, the single-surface area of the negative electrode sheet 1 is likely to be folded, resulting in poor interface contact of the negative electrode sheet 1, which has a negative effect on the reliability of subsequent long-term use. When the a value is less than 0.2, it will make it difficult to remove the winding needle after winding is completed, which may easily cause the negative electrode sheet 1 inside the core 100 to shift or fold, reducing the coating effect of the inner layer of the core 100 and causing folding problems.

[0068] like Figures 1-10 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the value range of a is 0.2~0.8.

[0069] like Figures 1-10 As shown, in one embodiment, the value range of b is 0.2~2.0.

[0070] Specifically, the value range of b is any point value among 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 1.8 or 2, or a range value consisting of any two point values.

[0071] When the value range of b is 0.2~2.0, it has the function of preventing the single fabric area at the starting end of the negative electrode sheet 1 from being folded and taking into account the energy density of the product; when the value of b is less than 0.2, since b=1.2*W / L; at this time, the length of the core 100 is more than 6 times the width of the core 100, which causes the inner circle of the core 100 after winding to easily slip, and also has an adverse effect on the folding of the single fabric area during hot pressing; when the value of b is greater than 2, it will cause the width of the core 100 to be more than 1.66 times the length, and the tension of the arc area 102 is difficult to control during winding, which can easily cause the tension of the inner arc area 102 to be too large, causing the inner circle of the battery to be folded, and at the same time, the proportion of the top seal of the battery cell becomes larger, which is not conducive to the improvement of the energy density of the product.

[0072] like Figures 1-10 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the value range of b is 0.3~1.5.

[0073] like Figures 1-10 As shown, in one embodiment, the thickness h2 of the negative electrode current collector 11 ranges from 3 to 9 μm.

[0074] The thickness h2 of the negative electrode current collector 11 is in the range of 3~9um, which has the effect of taking into account the energy density of the product and balancing the folding and breaking of the negative electrode sheet 1 during the production process; when the thickness h2 of the negative electrode current collector 11 is less than 3um, since c=5 / h2, at this time c>5 / 3, it will cause the collector strength to decrease, the electrode roll is prone to breakage during the production process, and the single fabric area at the starting end of the negative electrode sheet 1 is prone to folding during winding; when the thickness h2 of the negative electrode current collector 11 is greater than 9um, it will cause a loss of product energy density.

[0075] like Figures 1-10 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the thickness h2 of the negative electrode current collector 11 ranges from 4 to 6 μm.

[0076] like Figures 1-10 As shown, in one embodiment, the compaction density x of the negative electrode active material layer 12 is in the range of 1.0 g / cm 3 ~2.0g / cm 3 .

[0077] Specifically, the compaction density x of the negative electrode active material layer 12 is in the range of 1 g / cm 3 , 1.1g / cm 3 , 1.2g / cm 3 , 1.3g / cm 3 , 1.4g / cm 3 , 1.5g / cm 3 , 1.6g / cm 3 , 1.7g / cm 3 , 1.8g / cm 3 , 1.9g / cm 3 or 2g / cm 3 Any point value or any range of two point values in .

[0078] When the compaction density x of the negative electrode active material layer 12 is in the range of 1.0 g / cm 3 ~2.0g / cm 3 , which has the effect of taking into account both the product energy density and the internal stress control during the pole piece rolling process; when the compaction density x of the negative electrode active material layer 12 is less than 1.0g / cm 3 , which will lead to a loss of product energy density. The smaller the compaction density, the worse the electronic contact between the material particles will be, which will affect the capacity retention rate during the cycle. When the compaction density x of the negative electrode active material layer 12 is greater than 2.0 g / cm 3Since d=x / 1.73, d>1.156 at this time, the single fabric area is prone to accumulate large stress during the rolling process. During the unwinding process, due to the release of the winding tension, the single fabric area is also prone to folding problems, especially when using copper foil with weaker mechanical strength when pursuing high energy density.

[0079] like Figures 1-10 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the compaction density x of the negative electrode active material layer 12 is in the range of 1.4 g / cm 3 ~1.9g / cm 3 .

[0080] A second aspect of the present invention provides a battery, comprising a battery housing and the aforementioned winding core 100 , wherein the winding core 100 is disposed within the housing.

[0086] In one embodiment, the mass percentages of the components in the negative electrode active material layer are: 96%-98.2% of the negative electrode active material, 0.1%-1.0% of the conductive agent, 0.8%-1.2% of the binder, and 0.5%-1.2% of the thickener.

[0087] In one embodiment, the negative electrode current collector 11 is selected from a metal material that can conduct electrons. Preferably, the negative electrode current collector 11 includes one or more of Al, Ni, tin, copper, and stainless steel. In a more preferred embodiment, the negative electrode current collector 11 is selected from copper foil.

[0088] In one embodiment, the negative electrode sheet 1 can be prepared according to conventional methods in the art. For example, the negative electrode active material layer is typically formed by coating a negative electrode slurry comprising the negative electrode active material, a negative electrode conductive agent, a negative electrode binder, and any other components onto the negative electrode current collector 11, followed by drying and cold pressing. The solvent can be, but is not limited to, an aqueous solvent.

[0091] In one embodiment, the positive electrode conductive agent includes one or more of graphite, superconducting carbon, acetylene black, carbon black, carbon nanotubes, graphene, carbon nanofibers, metal powder, metal fibers, and polyphenylene derivatives.

[0092] In one embodiment, the positive electrode binder includes one or more of polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, vinylidene fluoride-tetrafluoroethylene-propylene terpolymer, vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene-tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer, tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, and fluorine-containing acrylic resin.

[0094] When the mass ratio of the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode active material layer is within the above range, the positive electrode sheet 2 can have a higher lithium removal and lithium insertion capacity, and the battery can have a higher capacity.

[0095] In one embodiment, the positive electrode current collector 21 is selected from a metal material that can conduct electrons.

[0105]

[0106] Example 1

[0107] This embodiment is used to illustrate the winding core and battery disclosed in the present invention and includes the following steps:

[0108] Preparation of negative electrode sheet:

[0109] Graphite, CMC additive, conductive carbon black SP and binder SBR were mixed in a ratio of 97:1.1:0.8:1.1 to prepare a slurry. The slurry was coated on a 3 μm thick negative electrode current collector copper foil on a coater. After drying, rolling and rolling, the compaction density of the negative electrode active material layer was 1.50 g / cm 3 , after die-cutting and other processes, the negative electrode sheet is obtained;

[0110] The negative electrode sheet includes a double-fabric area, a single-fabric area and an empty foil area located at the starting end of the negative electrode sheet. The single-fabric area is connected between the double-fabric area and the empty foil area. The empty foil area is located at the first fold of the negative electrode sheet. The second single-fabric area is located at the second and third folds of the negative electrode sheet. The second single-fabric area located at the second fold of the negative electrode sheet is provided with adhesive tape on the side facing away from the positive electrode sheet, and the adhesive tape is provided in the arc area of the second fold.

[0111] Preparation of positive electrode:

[0112] Lithium cobalt oxide, single-walled carbon nanotubes, conductive carbon black SP and binder PVDF are mixed in a ratio of 97.3:0.5:1.0:1.2 to prepare a positive electrode slurry, which is then coated onto the surface of the positive electrode current collector on a coating machine. After drying, rolling, die-cutting and other processes, a positive electrode sheet that meets the requirements is obtained.

[0113] Preparation of electrolyte:

[0114] Lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) was dissolved in a mixed solvent consisting of ethylene carbonate (EC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) (the mass ratio of the three was 1:2:1) to obtain an electrolyte with a concentration of 1 mol / L.

[0115] Preparation of diaphragm:

[0116] PE porous polymer film is used as the separator substrate;

[0117] Preparation of the battery:

[0118] The positive electrode sheet, separator, and negative electrode sheet are stacked in order, with the separator placed between the positive and negative electrodes to act as a separator. The core is then wound from the starting end to the end to form a core; the core is 40 mm long, 30 mm wide, and 8.3 mm thick.

[0119] The starting end of the negative electrode sheet is located at the innermost circle of the winding core, and the starting end of the positive electrode sheet is arranged on the periphery of the starting end of the negative electrode sheet.

[0120] The wound core 100 is placed in a battery shell that has been punched and formed, and the electrolyte is injected into the baked and dried battery cell. After vacuum packaging, standing, and formation processes, a battery is obtained.

[0121] Example 2-20

[0122] Examples 2-20 are used to illustrate the winding core and battery disclosed in the present invention, and include most of the operating steps of Example 1, except that:

[0123] The parameters of the winding core and negative electrode sheet shown in Table 1 were used.

[0124] Comparative Examples 1-21

[0125] Comparative Examples 1-21 are used to illustrate the winding core and battery disclosed in the present invention, and include most of the operating steps in Example 1, except that:

[0126] The parameters of the winding core and negative electrode sheet shown in Table 1 were used.

[0127] Performance Testing

[0128] The following performance tests were performed on the batteries prepared in Examples 1 to 20 and Comparative Examples 1 to 21:

[0129] 1. Battery life test: Normal temperature cycle test: The battery is placed at 25°C and charged and discharged at a current of 1.2C in the charge and discharge voltage range of 3.0-4.51V. The initial capacity is recorded as Q, and the capacity after 500 cycles is selected as Q1. The capacity retention rate of the battery after 500 cycles at normal temperature is calculated using the following formula:

[0130] Capacity retention rate (%) = Q1 / Q × 100;

[0131] The test results are shown in Table 2.

[0132] Table 2 Battery electrochemical performance

[0133]

[0134] By comparing Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 6-7, it can be seen that when the value range of a is 0.2~2.0, the single-surface area of the negative electrode sheet is not prone to folding, thereby improving the safe use performance of the battery. When the a value is greater than 2.0, since a=W / h1 / 18; at this time, the width of the core is larger, and the corresponding winding needle width is larger. When winding, the tension of the negative electrode sheet 1 is likely to be too large when it passes the arc area 102 on the inner circle. Subsequently, when the winding needle is peeled off and the core is hot-pressed, the single-surface area of the negative electrode sheet is prone to folding, resulting in poor interface contact of the negative electrode sheet, which has a negative effect on the reliability of subsequent long-term use. When the a value is less than 0.2, it will make it difficult to remove the winding needle after winding is completed, which can easily cause the electrode sheet inside the core to shift or fold, reducing the coating effect of the inner layer of the core to cause folding problems.

[0135] By comparing Examples 7-10 and Comparative Examples 12-13, it can be seen that when the value range of b is 0.2~2.0, it has the effect of preventing the single fabric area at the starting end of the negative electrode sheet from being folded and taking into account the energy density of the product; when the value of b is less than 0.2, since b=1.2*W / L; at this time, the length of the core is more than 6 times the width of the core, which causes the inner circle of the core after winding to easily slip, and also has an adverse effect on the folding of the single fabric area during hot pressing; when the value of b is greater than 2, the width of the core will be more than 1.66 times the length, and the tension in the arc area will be difficult to control during winding, which will easily cause the tension in the inner arc area to be too large, causing the inner circle of the battery to be folded. At the same time, the proportion of the top seal of the battery cell will increase, which is not conducive to the improvement of the energy density of the product.

[0136] By comparing Example 10, Examples 13-14 and Comparative Example 16, it can be seen that the value range of the thickness h2 of the negative electrode current collector is 3~9um, which has the effect of taking into account the energy density of the product and balancing the folding and breaking of the negative electrode sheet during the production process; currently, the value range of the thickness h2 of the negative electrode current collector is almost no less than 3um, which is not discussed here; when the value range of the thickness h2 of the negative electrode current collector is greater than 9um, it will lead to a loss of product energy density.

[0137] Comparison of Example 13 with Examples 17-18 and Comparative Examples 20-21 shows that when the compaction density x of the negative electrode active material layer is in the range of 1.0 g / cm 3 ~2.0g / cm 3 , which has the effect of taking into account both the product energy density and the internal stress control during the negative electrode sheet rolling process; when the compaction density x of the negative electrode active material layer is less than 1.0g / cm 3 , which will lead to a loss of product energy density. The smaller the compaction density, the worse the electronic contact between the material particles will be, which will affect the capacity retention rate during the cycle. When the compaction density x of the negative electrode active material layer is greater than 2.0 g / cm 3Since d=x / 1.73, d>1.156 at this time, the single fabric area is prone to accumulate large stress during the rolling process. During the unwinding process, due to the release of the winding tension, the single fabric area is also prone to folding problems, especially when using copper foil with weaker mechanical strength when pursuing high energy density.

[0138] Comparing Example 2, Examples 5-6 and Comparative Examples 1-5, or comparing Example 9, Examples 11-12 and Comparative Examples 8-11, or comparing Example 13, Examples 15-16 and Comparative Examples 14-15, or comparing Examples 18-20 and Comparative Examples 18-19, it can be seen that when (a+b)*ab+(cd) 2 When the value is greater than 2.2, the single-surface area setting is canceled. By not setting the single-surface area, the probability of the negative electrode head being folded can be prevented;

[0139] Alternatively, the single fabric area of the negative electrode sheet is only provided at the second fold of the negative electrode sheet. Compared with providing the single fabric area at both the second and third folds of the negative electrode sheet, the number and length of the single fabric area are reduced, which can greatly reduce the probability of the negative electrode sheet head being folded.

[0140] Or the single fabric area of the negative electrode sheet can be set at the second and third folds of the negative electrode sheet, and adhesive tape can be set on the side of the single fabric area of the second fold of the negative electrode sheet away from the positive electrode sheet. The adhesive tape can act as a "reinforcement rib" to prevent the negative electrode sheet from being folded during hot pressing of the winding core, thereby improving the safe use performance of the battery.

[0141] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
