Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of batteries, and in particular to an electrode assembly, an electrochemical device, and an electronic device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, the battery cells of secondary batteries usually adopt a winding structure. After winding, the battery cells need to be hot-pressed to fix the bare battery cells to prevent difficulties in subsequent casing. However, in this case, the wound battery cells after hot-pressing will cause problems that it is difficult for the electrolyte to enter the interior of the bare battery cells, thereby affecting the cycle performance of the battery cells. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Embodiments of the present application provide an electrode assembly, an electrochemical device, and an electronic device. The electrode assembly of the present application increases the interlayer gap between the separator and the electrode sheet, making it easier for the electrolyte to enter the interior of the bare battery cell, and improving the infiltration effect of the battery cell.

[0004] In a first aspect, embodiments of the present application provide an electrode assembly, including: at least two electrode sheets and a separator. The separator is disposed between two adjacent electrode sheets. The separator includes a base film and an inorganic layer, and the inorganic layer is coated on at least one side of the base film. At least one electrode sheet includes a main body portion and a corner portion located on the periphery of the main body portion. The main body portion includes a plurality of main body portion protrusions, the height of the main body portion protrusions is H1 (μm), and the orthographic projection of the main body portion protrusions along the thickness direction of the electrode sheet forms a first pattern (the orthographic projection in the present application refers to the orthographic projection observed from directly above the protrusion perpendicular to the plane where the protrusion is located). The average radial dimension of the first pattern is R1 (mm). The corner portion includes a plurality of corner portion protrusions, the height of the corner portion protrusions is H2 (μm), and the orthographic projection of the corner portion protrusions along the thickness direction forms a second pattern. The average radial dimension of the second pattern is R2 (mm). The main body portion protrusions and the corner portion protrusions satisfy: -0.2665 ≤ H1 / 1000R1 - H2 / 1000R2 ≤ 0.0131. The separator includes a base film and an adhesive layer, and the adhesive layer is disposed on both sides of the base film. The thickness of the adhesive layer is F (μm). The electrode assembly satisfies: 4 ≤ H2 / F ≤ 800. The average radial dimension in the present application is the longest diameter of the first pattern formed by the orthographic projection of the protrusion along the thickness direction of the electrode sheet. In some specific embodiments, if the first pattern / second pattern formed by the orthographic projection is a circle, the average radial dimension is the diameter of the circle.

[0005] This application adjusts the characteristics of the protrusions on the main body and the corners, and when H1 / 1000R1-H2 / 1000R2 satisfies: -0.2665≤H1 / 1000R1-H2 / 1000R2≤0.0131, the electrolyte can be more evenly and efficiently infiltrated into various parts of the battery cell, greatly improving the wetting effect. At the same time, for the weak area interface in the battery cell that is prone to problems, the winding stress of the electrode assembly during winding and the expansion force of the electrode assembly are effectively buffered, thereby effectively improving the problems existing in the weak area interface such as ion transmission obstruction and poor interface stability, further improving the overall performance and stability of the battery cell and the cycle performance of the battery;

[0006] This application focuses on the ratio relationship between H and R, because H / 1000R can characterize the sharpness of the protrusion (bump). The smaller the H / 1000R, the smoother the protrusion, and the larger the H / 1000R, the sharper the protrusion. This application also focuses on the H / 1000R ratio difference between the main body and the corner area, that is, H1 / 1000R1-H2 / 1000R2. This relationship can characterize the difference between the protrusion structure of the main body and the protrusion structure of the corner. This application finds that this difference needs to meet the range limited by this application. When H1 / 1000R1-H2 / 1000R2 is greater than 0.0131, it means that the H1 value is large, which will make the gap between the layers of the battery cell too large, affecting the rapid transmission of lithium ions, thereby affecting the cycle, and will cause severe lithium precipitation after the cycle. In this case, the H1 value is large, which will increase the degree of damage to the pole piece, thereby worsening the battery cell processing quality rate. When H1 / 1000R1-H2 / 1000R2 is less than -0.2665, it means that the H1 value is small, the H2 value is large, and the gap between the layers in the main area is small, which affects the flow rate of the electrolyte between the layers, and the electrolyte infiltrates the pole piece poorly, which in turn affects the cycle performance and also causes serious lithium precipitation. Therefore, when H1 / 1000R1-H2 / 1000R2 meets the limited range of this application, the difference between the raised structure in the main area and the raised structure in the corner area can be satisfied within a suitable range, thereby improving the cycle performance of the battery at high current density and alleviating the phenomenon of lithium precipitation of the pole piece after the battery is cycled at high current density, thereby improving the winding superiority.

[0007] On this basis, the corner protrusion cooperates with the adhesive layer to keep the separator film in a stable position inside the battery, reduce the risk of displacement, wrinkles or breakage, improve the regularity of the internal structure of the battery, enhance the stability of the battery during charging and discharging, and facilitate better penetration and diffusion of the electrolyte between the electrode sheet and the separator film, enabling the electrolyte to fully wet the electrode sheet and the separator film, improving the ion transport efficiency, and further enhancing the charge and discharge performance and rate performance of the battery. At the same time, the adhesive layer tightly combines the separator film with the corner protrusion and the main body protrusion to form a stable interface, reduce the resistance at the interface, and lower the energy loss of the battery during charging and discharging.

[0008] In some specific embodiments, the main body protrusion satisfies: 0.0005 ≤ H1 / 1000R1 ≤ 0.133, and / or, the corner protrusion satisfies: 0.002 ≤ H2 / 1000R2 ≤ 0.267.

[0009] In this specific embodiment, the main body protrusion satisfies: 0.0005 ≤ H1 / 1000R1 ≤ 0.0151, and / or, the corner protrusion satisfies: 0.002 ≤ H2 / 1000R2 ≤ 0.267, which can better improve the wetting effect of the electrolyte on the battery cell and further enhance the overall performance and stability of the battery cell.

[0010] In some specific embodiments, the main body protrusion satisfies: 0.015 ≤ H1 / 1000R1 ≤ 0.025, and / or, the corner protrusion satisfies: 0.0167 ≤ H2 / 1000R2 ≤ 0.025. The main body protrusion and the corner protrusion provide effective support for the separator film, keeping the separator film in a stable position and shape inside the battery, preventing the separator film from shifting, deforming or breaking during the winding of the electrode assembly or the use of the battery, ensuring that the separator film can normally play the role of isolating the positive and negative electrodes and preventing short circuits, and improving the safety and stability of the battery.

[0011] In some specific embodiments, the electrode assembly satisfies at least one of the following: (1) 5 ≤ H1 ≤ 35; (2) 20 ≤ H2 ≤ 80; (3) 0.3 ≤ R1 ≤ 10; (4) 0.3 ≤ R2 ≤ 10.

[0012] In this specific embodiment, when the main body protrusion and the corner protrusion satisfy one of the above conditions, the main body protrusion and the corner protrusion can better improve the wetting effect of the electrolyte on the battery cell and further enhance the overall performance and stability of the battery cell.

[0013] In some specific embodiments, the separator film may further include an inorganic layer, which is disposed between the base film and the adhesive layer. The thickness of the inorganic layer is D (μm), and the electrode assembly satisfies: 3.3 ≤ H2 / D ≤ 160.

[0014] In the above specific embodiments, the electrode assembly satisfies: 3.3 ≤ H2 / D ≤ 160. When the thickness of the inorganic layer in the electrode assembly and the height H2 of the corner protrusion satisfy the above conditions, the inorganic layer has good ionic conductivity and can provide a smooth transmission channel for lithium ions. A channel conducive to the flow of the electrolyte is formed between the electrode plate and the separator, ensuring that lithium ions in the electrolyte can quickly reach the surface of the inorganic layer. The cooperation of the two makes the transmission of lithium ions between the electrode and the electrolyte more efficient, thereby improving the charge and discharge rate of the battery.

[0015] Meanwhile, the inorganic layer and the corner protrusion structure act synergistically to disperse the stress generated by the electrode plate to a larger area, avoid stress concentration, effectively protect the integrity of the internal structure of the battery, and improve the cycle stability of the battery.

[0016] In some specific embodiments, the electrode assembly satisfies: 6.7 ≤ H2 / D ≤ 60.

[0020] In some specific embodiments, the value ranges of the thickness D of the inorganic layer and the height H2 of the corner protrusion are respectively: 1 ≤ D ≤ 3, 20 ≤ H2 ≤ 60.

[0021] In the above specific embodiments, the synergistic effect of the inorganic layer and the corner protrusion can further enhance the strength of the electrode assembly, further reduce the problem of separator puncture during battery use, and improve the wetting effect of the electrolyte at the same time.

[0022] In some specific embodiments, the separator may further include an inorganic layer. The inorganic layer is disposed between the base film and the adhesive layer.

At the same time, the two act synergistically to optimize the interfacial contact between the electrode and the electrolyte, making the charge transfer process easier to carry out and reducing the charge transfer resistance.

[0024] In some specific embodiments, the electrode assembly satisfies: 20 ≤ H2 / E ≤ 180.

[0025] In the above specific embodiments, the electrode assembly satisfies: 20 ≤ H2 / E ≤ 180. The inorganic particles and the corner protrusions act synergistically to further improve the electrolyte infiltration effect, battery efficiency and battery safety.

The inorganic layer includes inorganic particles. The average particle size of the inorganic particles is E (μm). The value ranges of the average particle size E of the inorganic particles and the height H2 of the corner protrusions are respectively: 0.1 ≤ E ≤ 2, 20 ≤ H2 ≤ 80.

[0027] In the above specific embodiments, the corner protrusions and the inorganic particles act synergistically to increase the surface roughness and irregularity of the electrode assembly, increasing the contact points and contact area between the electrolyte and the electrode sheet. At the same time, the inorganic particles can fill the channels formed by the corner protrusions. On the one hand, it makes the channels more stable and regular. On the other hand, the pores between the inorganic particles can also serve as microscopic channels for electrolyte transmission, allowing the electrolyte to penetrate more deeply into the material interior, thereby improving the electrolyte infiltration effect, battery efficiency and battery safety.

When 10 ≤ H2 / G ≤ 800, the adhesive particles in the adhesive layer can fill the tiny gaps between the corner protrusions and the main body protrusions and the separator film, making the adhesion between the two closer and stronger, so that the separator film is not easily displaced or detached inside the battery, improving the stability of the internal structure of the battery. The corner protrusions, the main body protrusions, and the adhesive particles on the adhesive layer work together to optimize the transmission path of the electrolyte between the electrode sheet and the separator film, improve the adsorption and diffusion of the electrolyte, enable the electrolyte to be more evenly distributed around the electrode sheet and the separator film, improve the ion transport efficiency, and further enhance the charge-discharge performance and rate performance of the battery; (2) The pore size of the adhesive layer is P (μm), and 0.2 ≤ H2 / P ≤ 160.

[0049] Note: In the above translation, the references to "FIG. [X]" are placeholders for the actual figure numbers which are not provided in the original text. You may need to replace them with the correct figure numbers according to the actual content.The separator and two electrode plates are wound around multiple times along the length direction of the electrode plate. The length direction of the electrode plate is the direction in which the electrode plate is wound, and the width direction is perpendicular to the length direction. The electrode assembly is flat. Each turn of the electrode plate includes two main body parts and two corner parts, and the two main body parts are connected between the two corner parts. Among them, the corner parts of adjacent turns of the electrode plate are prone to extrusion with each other, and there is also extrusion between the main body part and the corner part of each turn of the electrode plate. Therefore, the corner part is a high-incidence area of extrusion in the electrode assembly. When extrusion occurs in the corner part, problems such as insufficient electrolyte and poor infiltration are likely to occur, which in turn leads to deterioration of the electrode interface in the corner part and even cyclic failure.

[0050] Based on the above situation, the embodiments of the present application provide an electrode assembly, an electrochemical device, and an electronic device. The electrode assembly of the present application increases the interlayer gap between the separator and the electrode plate, making it easier for the electrolyte to enter the internal part of the bare battery cell, and improving the infiltration effect of the battery cell.

[0051] The following will detail the implementation manners of the present application.

Moreover, the length direction (Machine Direction, MD direction), width direction (Transverse Direction, TD direction), and thickness direction of the two electrode plates with opposite polarities are the same, and the separator is disposed between the two electrode plates with opposite polarities in the thickness direction of the electrode plates.

[0058] Optional, 10≤H2 / F≤750, 10≤H2 / F≤700, 10≤H2 / F≤650, 10H2 / F≤600, 10≤H2 / F≤550, 10≤H2 / F≤500, 10≤H2 / F≤450, 10≤H2 / F≤400, 10≤H2 / F≤350, 10≤H2 / F≤300, 10≤H2 / F≤250, 10≤H2 / F≤200, 10≤H2 / F≤150, 10≤H2 / F≤120.

[0059] According to the present application, by adjusting the characteristics of the protrusions on the main body and the protrusions on the corners, when H1 / 1000R1-H2 / 1000R2 satisfies: -0.2665≤H1 / 1000R1-H2 / 1000R2≤0.0131, the electrolyte can be more evenly and efficiently infiltrated into various parts of the battery cell, greatly improving the wetting effect. At the same time, for the weak area interface in the battery cell that is prone to problems, the winding stress during the winding process of the electrode assembly and the expansion force of the electrode assembly are effectively buffered, thereby effectively improving the problems existing in the weak area interface such as obstructed ion transmission and poor interface stability, further improving the overall performance and stability of the battery cell and the cycle performance of the battery.

[0060] This application focuses on the ratio relationship between H and R, because H / 1000R can characterize the sharpness of the protruding structure. The smaller H / 1000R is, the smoother the protruding structure is. The larger H / 1000R is, the sharper the protruding structure is. This application also focuses on the H / 1000R ratio difference between the main body and the corner area, that is, H1 / 1000R1-H2 / 1000R2. This relationship can characterize the difference between the protrusion in the main area and the protrusion in the corner area. This application finds that this difference needs to meet the range limited by this application. When H1 / 1000R1-H2 / 1000R2 is greater than 0.0131, it means that the H1 value is large, which will make the gap between the battery cell layers too large, affecting the rapid transmission of lithium ions, and thus affecting the cycle, and will cause severe lithium precipitation after the cycle. In this case, the H1 value is large, which will increase the degree of damage to the pole piece, thereby deteriorating the battery cell processing quality rate. When H1 / 1000R1-H2 / 1000R2 is less than -0.2665, it means that the H1 value is small, the H2 value is large, and the gap between the layers in the main area is small, which affects the flow rate of the electrolyte between the layers, and the electrolyte infiltrates the pole piece poorly, which in turn affects the cycle performance and also causes serious lithium precipitation. Therefore, when H1 / 1000R1-H2 / 1000R2 meets the limited range of this application, the difference between the raised structure in the main area and the raised structure in the corner area can be satisfied within a suitable range, thereby improving the cycle performance of the battery at high current density and alleviating the phenomenon of lithium precipitation of the pole piece after the battery is cycled at high current density, thereby improving the winding superiority.

[0061] On this basis, the protrusions on the corners cooperate with the adhesive layer to keep the isolation membrane in a stable position inside the battery, reduce the risk of displacement, wrinkling or damage, improve the regularity of the internal structure of the battery, and improve the stability of the battery during charging and discharging. It is also beneficial for the electrolyte to better penetrate and diffuse between the electrode and the isolation membrane, so that the electrolyte can fully infiltrate the electrode and the isolation membrane, improve the ion transfer efficiency, and thereby improve the battery's charge and discharge performance and rate performance. At the same time, the adhesive layer tightly combines the isolation membrane with the protrusions on the corners and the protrusions on the main body to form a stable interface, reduce the resistance at the interface, and reduce the energy loss of the battery during charging and discharging.

[0062] The above is only an exemplary introduction. The present application does not limit the orientation of the main body protrusion and the corner protrusion of each pole piece, and the specific orientation can be selected according to actual needs.

[0063] It should be noted that the height H1 (μm) of the main body protrusion, the diameter R1 (mm) of the projection of the main body protrusion along the thickness direction of the pole piece, the height H2 (μm) of the corner protrusion, the diameter R2 (mm) of the projection of the corner protrusion along the thickness direction of the pole piece, and the thickness F (μm) of the bonding layer can all be detected using methods and instruments known in the art. For example, the pole piece can be obtained by disassembling the electrochemical device, and the pole piece sample can be placed in a scanning electron microscope using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) measurement method, and a high-resolution image of the protruding structure can be obtained by electron beam scanning. In the SEM image, the image processing software can be used to draw a measurement line along the height direction of the protruding structure, and the height of the protruding structure can be calculated based on the pixel information of the image and the known magnification. Similarly, in the SEM image, the diameter of the protruding structure is measured by the image processing software to obtain the radius. It can also be measured by a VR series shape profile measurement microscope. The isolation film can be obtained by disassembling the electrochemical device, and the isolation film can be sliced ​​using the scanning electron microscope (SEM) measurement method to prepare a flat cross-sectional sample. The sample is placed in the SEM device, and the appropriate acceleration voltage and scanning parameters are selected to obtain a high-resolution cross-sectional image. The thickness F of the bonding layer can be directly measured on the image using the image processing software provided by the SEM.

[0064] In some embodiments, the protrusion of the main body satisfies: 0.0005≤H1 / 1000R1≤0.133, and / or the protrusion of the corner portion satisfies: 0.002≤H2 / 1000R2≤0.267.

[0065] For example, H1 / 1000R1 can be 0.0005, 0.001, 0.002, 0.005, 0.01, 0.015, 0.0151, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.133, or a range composed of any of the above numerical values.

[0066] For example, H2 / 1000R2 can be 0.002, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.04, 0.05, 0.06, 0.07, 0.08, 0.09, 0.1, 0.11, 0.12, 0.13, 0.14, 0.15, 0.16, 0.17, 0.18, 0.19, 0.2, 0.21, 0.22, 0.23, 0.24, 0.25, 0.26, 0.267, or a range composed of any of the above numerical values.

[0069] In the above embodiments, the protrusion of the main body portion satisfies: 0.0005 ≤ H1 / 1000R1 ≤ 0.133, and / or, the protrusion of the corner portion satisfies: 0.002 ≤ H2 / 1000R2 ≤ 0.267. The protrusions of the main body portion and the corner portion provide effective support for the separator, enabling the separator to maintain a stable position and shape inside the battery, preventing the separator from shifting, deforming or breaking during the winding of the electrode assembly or the use of the battery, ensuring that the separator can normally perform the functions of isolating the positive and negative electrodes and preventing short circuits, and improving the safety and stability of the battery.

[0070] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly satisfies at least one of the following: (1) 5 ≤ H1 ≤ 40. For example, H1 can be 20, 30, 35, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or a range composed of any of the above values; (2) 20 ≤ H2 ≤ 80. For example, H2 can be 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, or a range composed of any of the above values; (3) 0.3 ≤ R1 ≤ 10. For example, R1 can be 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or a range composed of any of the above values; (4) 0.3 ≤ R2 ≤ 10. For example, R2 can be 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or a range composed of any of the above values.

[0071] When the electrode assembly satisfies any one of the above in the above embodiments, the protrusions of the main body portion and the corner portion can better improve the wetting effect of the electrolyte on the battery cell, and further improve the overall performance and stability of the battery cell.

[0072] In some embodiments, the separator may further include an inorganic layer. The inorganic layer is disposed between the base film and the adhesive layer, and the thickness of the inorganic layer is D (μm). The electrode assembly satisfies: 3.3 ≤ H2 / D ≤ 160. For example, H2 / D can be 3.3, 5, 8, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, or a range composed of any of the above values.

[0073] Optionally, 6.7 ≤ H2 / D ≤ 160, 6.7 ≤ H2 / D ≤ 150, 6.7 ≤ H2 / D ≤ 140, 6.7 ≤ H2 / D ≤ 130, 6.7 ≤ H2 / D ≤ 120, 6.7 ≤ H2 / D ≤ 110, 6.7 ≤ H2 / D ≤ 100, 6.7 ≤ H2 / D ≤ 90, 6.7 ≤ H2 / D ≤ 80, 6.7 ≤ H2 / D ≤ 70, 6.7 ≤ H2 / D ≤ 60.

[0074] In the above embodiment, the electrode assembly satisfies: 3.3≤H2 / D≤160. When the thickness of the inorganic layer in the electrode assembly and the height H2 of the protrusion at the corner meet the above conditions, the inorganic layer has good ion conductivity and can provide a smooth transmission channel for lithium ions. A channel is formed between the pole piece and the isolation membrane to facilitate the flow of electrolyte, ensuring that the lithium ions in the electrolyte can quickly reach the surface of the inorganic layer. The combination of the two makes the transmission of lithium ions between the electrode and the electrolyte more efficient, thereby improving the charge and discharge rate of the battery.

[0075] At the same time, the inorganic layer and the protrusions on the corners work together to disperse the stress generated by the pole piece to a larger area, avoiding stress concentration, effectively protecting the integrity of the internal structure of the battery, and improving the cycle stability of the battery.

[0076] It should be noted that the thickness D (μm) of the inorganic layer can be detected using methods and instruments known in the art. For example, the isolation membrane can be obtained by disassembling the electrochemical device, and the isolation membrane can be sliced ​​using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) measurement method to prepare a flat cross-sectional sample. The sample is placed in the SEM device, and a suitable acceleration voltage and scanning parameters are selected to obtain a high-resolution cross-sectional image. The thickness of the inorganic layer can be directly measured on the image using the image processing software provided by the SEM.

[0077] In some embodiments, the isolation film may further include an inorganic layer, the inorganic layer is disposed between the base film and the adhesive layer, the thickness of the inorganic layer is D (μm), and the thickness D of the inorganic layer and the height H2 of the protrusion of the corner portion are in the range of 0.5≤D≤6, 20≤H2≤80. For example, D may be 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, or a range consisting of any of the above values. H2 may be 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, or a range consisting of any of the above values.

[0078] Optional, 1≤D≤6, 1≤D≤5.5, 1≤D≤5, 1≤D≤4.5, 1≤D≤4, 1≤D≤3.5, 1≤D≤3.

[0079] Optional, 20≤H2≤78, 20≤H2≤76, 20≤H2≤74, 20≤H2≤72, 20≤H2≤70, 20≤H2≤68, 20≤H2≤66, 20≤H2≤64, 20≤H2≤62, 20≤H2≤60.

[0080] In the above embodiments, the synergistic effect of the inorganic layer and the corner protrusions can effectively enhance the strength of the electrode assembly, reduce the problem of diaphragm puncture during battery use, and improve the infiltration effect of the electrolyte.

[0081] In some embodiments, the isolation film may further include an inorganic layer, the inorganic layer is disposed between the base film and the adhesive layer, the inorganic layer includes inorganic particles, the particle size of the inorganic particles is E (μm), and the electrode assembly satisfies: 10≤H2 / E≤800. For example, H2 / E may be 10, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, or a range consisting of any of the above values.

[0082] Optional, 20≤H2 / E≤750, 20≤H2 / E≤700, 20≤H2 / E≤650, 20≤H2 / E≤600, 20≤H2 / E≤550, 20≤H2 / E≤500, 20≤H2 / E≤450, 20≤H2 / E≤400, 20≤H2 / E≤350, 20≤H2 / E≤300, 20≤H2 / E≤250, 20≤H2 / E≤200, 20≤H2 / E≤180.

[0083] In the above embodiment, the electrode assembly satisfies: 10≤H2 / E≤800, and the inorganic particles and the corner protrusions work together to buffer the stress caused by the volume change of the electrode material during the battery charging and discharging process, reducing the risk of structural damage and pulverization of the electrode material. At the same time, the two work together to optimize the interface contact between the electrode and the electrolyte, making the charge transfer process easier and reducing the charge transfer resistance.

[0084] It should be noted that the particle size E (μm) of the inorganic particles can be detected using methods and instruments known in the art. For example, the isolation membrane can be obtained by disassembling the electrochemical device, and the isolation membrane sample containing the inorganic layer can be dried, fixed, and the like using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) measurement method. Then the sample is placed in the SEM device, and a suitable acceleration voltage and magnification are selected to obtain a high-resolution image of the inorganic particles. Finally, the image processing software provided by the SEM is used to directly measure the particle size of the inorganic particles on the image. The particle size can be characterized by measuring the maximum diameter, minimum diameter, or equivalent diameter of the particles.

[0085] In some embodiments, the separator membrane may further include an inorganic layer disposed between the base film and the adhesive layer. The inorganic layer includes inorganic particles with a particle size of E (μm). The value ranges of the average particle size E of the inorganic particles and the height H2 of the protrusion at the corner are respectively: 0.1 ≤ E ≤ 2, 20 ≤ H2 ≤ 80. For example, E can be 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2, or a range composed of any of the above values. H2 can be 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, or a range composed of any of the above values.

[0086] Optionally, 0.2 ≤ E ≤ 2, 0.3 ≤ E ≤ 2, 0.3 ≤ E ≤ 1.8, 0.3 ≤ E ≤ 1.6, 0.3 ≤ E ≤ 1.4, 0.3 ≤ E ≤ 1.2, 0.3 ≤ E ≤ 1.

[0087] Optionally, 20 ≤ H2 ≤ 78, 20 ≤ H2 ≤ 76, 20 ≤ H2 ≤ 74, 20 ≤ H2 ≤ 72, 20 ≤ H2 ≤ 70, 20 ≤ H2 ≤ 68, 20 ≤ H2 ≤ 66, 20 ≤ H2 ≤ 64, 20 ≤ H2 ≤ 62, 20 ≤ H2 ≤ 60.

[0088] In the above embodiments, the protrusion at the corner and the inorganic particles act synergistically to increase the surface roughness and irregularity of the electrode assembly, increasing the contact points and contact area between the electrolyte and the electrode sheet. At the same time, the inorganic particles can fill the channels formed by the protrusions at the corners. On the one hand, this makes the channels more stable and regular. On the other hand, the pores between the inorganic particles can also serve as microscopic channels for electrolyte transmission, allowing the electrolyte to penetrate more deeply into the material interior, thereby improving the electrolyte infiltration effect, battery efficiency, and battery safety.

[0089] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly satisfies at least one of the following: (1) The adhesive layer includes adhesive particles, and the average particle size of the adhesive particles is G (μm), and 10 ≤ H2 / G ≤ 800. For example, H2 / G can be 10, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500, 550, 600, 650, 700, 750, 800, or a range composed of any of the above values. When 10 ≤ H2 / G ≤ 800, the adhesive particles in the adhesive layer can fill the tiny gaps between the corner protrusions and the main body protrusions and the separator film, making the adhesion between the two closer and stronger, so that the separator film is not easily displaced or detached inside the battery, improving the stability of the internal structure of the battery. The corner protrusions, the main body protrusions, and the adhesive particles on the adhesive layer work together to optimize the transmission path of the electrolyte between the electrode sheet and the separator film, improve the adsorption and diffusion of the electrolyte, enable the electrolyte to be more evenly distributed around the electrode sheet and the separator film, improve the ion transmission efficiency, and thus enhance the charge-discharge performance and rate performance of the battery; (2) The pore size of the adhesive layer is P (μm), and 0.2 ≤ H2 / P ≤ 160. For example, H2 / P can be 0.2, 0.5, 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, or a range composed of any of the above values. When 0.2 ≤ H2 / P ≤ 160, the electrolyte can be more evenly distributed around the electrode sheet and the separator film, improve the ion transmission efficiency, and thus enhance the charge-discharge performance and rate performance of the battery; (3) The pore size of the adhesive layer is P (μm), and 3 ≤ 1000R2 / P ≤ 20000. For example, 1000R2 / P can be 3, 10, 50, 100, 200, 500, 800, 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000, 9000, 10000, 11000, 12000, 13000, 14000, 15000, 16000, 17000, 18000, 19000, 20000, or a range composed of any of the above values. When 3 ≤ 1000R2 / P ≤ 20000, the adhesive layer has better flexibility and deformability, can more effectively buffer stress, avoid damage to the separator film due to local stress concentration, and extend the service life of the separator film and the battery.

[0092] Optionally, 10 ≤ 1000R2 / P ≤ 20000, 20 ≤ 1000R2 / P ≤ 20000, 20 ≤ 1000R2 / P ≤ 18000, 20 ≤ 1000R2 / P ≤ 16000, 20 ≤ 1000R2 / P ≤ 14000, 20 ≤ 1000R2 / P ≤ 12000, 20 ≤ 1000R2 / P ≤ 10000, 20 ≤ 1000R2 / P ≤ 8000, 20 ≤ 1000R2 / P ≤ 6000.

[0093] It should be noted that the average particle size G (μm) of the adhesive particles and the pore size P (μm) of the adhesive layer can both be detected by methods and instruments known in the art. For example, the separator can be obtained by disassembling the electrochemical device. The thickness of the adhesive layer and the particle size of the adhesive particles can be measured by the same method as that of the inorganic layer. The pore size of the adhesive layer can be measured by the bubble point method. The separator sample is completely immersed in a liquid to fill the pores with the liquid. Then the sample is placed in a sealed device, and gas is slowly introduced while gradually increasing the gas pressure. Observe the surface of the sample, and when the first bubble appears, record the pressure value at this time, which is the bubble point pressure. According to known parameters such as the surface tension and contact angle of the liquid, the pore size is calculated using relevant formulas.

[0094] In some embodiments, the electrode assembly satisfies at least one of the following: (1) The thickness of the adhesive layer is F (μm), and the value ranges of the thickness F of the adhesive layer and the height H2 of the protrusion at the corner are respectively: 0.1 ≤ F ≤ 5, 20 ≤ H2 ≤ 80. For example, F can be 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 4.5, 5, or a range composed of any of the above values, and H2 can be 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, or a range composed of any of the above values; (2) The adhesive layer includes adhesive particles, and the average particle size of the adhesive particles is G (μm). The value ranges of the average particle size G of the adhesive particles and the height H2 of the protrusion at the corner are respectively: 0.1 ≤ G ≤ 2, 20 ≤ H2 ≤ 80. For example, G can be 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2, or a range composed of any of the above values, and H2 can be 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, or a range composed of any of the above values; (3) The pore size of the adhesive layer is P (μm). The value ranges of the pore size P of the adhesive layer and the height H2 of the protrusion at the corner are respectively: 0.5 ≤ P ≤ 100, 20 ≤ H2 ≤ 80. For example, P can be 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, or a range composed of any of the above values, and H2 can be 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, 80, or a range composed of any of the above values; (4) The pore size of the adhesive layer is P (μm). The value ranges of the pore size P of the adhesive layer and the average radial dimension R2 of the second pattern are respectively: 0.5 ≤ P ≤ 100, 0.3 ≤ R2 ≤ 10. For example, P can be 0.5, 1, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, or a range composed of any of the above values, and R2 can be 0.3, 0.5, 0.8, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, or a range composed of any of the above values.

[0138] Embodiment 1-1

[0139] I. Preparation method of lithium-ion battery

[0140] (1) Preparation of positive electrode sheet

[0141] Lithium cobaltate LiCoO2 as the positive electrode active material, conductive carbon black as the conductive agent, and polyvinylidene fluoride PVDF as the binder are dissolved in an N-methylpyrrolidone NMP solution in a weight ratio of 97.9:0.9:1.2 to form a positive electrode slurry. An aluminum foil with a thickness of 9 μm is used as the positive electrode current collector, and the positive electrode slurry is coated on the positive electrode current collector. After drying, cold pressing, and cutting, a positive electrode sheet is obtained. The compaction density of the positive electrode active material layer of the positive electrode sheet is 4.2 g / cm3 。

[0142] (2) Preparation of the negative electrode sheet

[0143] The artificial graphite as the negative active material, styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) as the binder, and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) as the thickener were dissolved in deionized water in a weight ratio of 97.4:1.4:1.2 to form a negative electrode slurry. A copper foil with a thickness of 10 μm was used as the negative electrode current collector, and the negative electrode slurry was coated on the negative electrode current collector, dried, cold-pressed, and cut to obtain the negative electrode sheet. The compaction density of the negative active material layer of the negative electrode sheet was 1.8 g / cm 3 。

[0144] In the following examples and comparative examples, the negative electrode sheet has a main body protrusion and a corner protrusion.

[0145] (3) Preparation of the separator

[0146] The separator substrate was polyethylene (PE) with a thickness of 5 μm. An aluminum oxide ceramic layer with a thickness of 2 μm was coated on one side of the separator substrate. Finally, a binder of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) with a coating amount of 2.5 mg / 1540.25 mm² was coated on both sides of the separator substrate coated with a single-layer ceramic layer, and then dried to form a bonding layer. The porosity of the bonding layer of the separator was 39%.

[0147] (4) Preparation of the electrolyte

[0148] In an environment with a water content of less than 10 ppm, ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), ethyl propionate (EP), and propyl propionate (PP) were mixed evenly in a mass ratio of 1:1:1:1:1. Then, the electrolyte salt LiPF6 was dissolved in the above non-aqueous solvent and mixed evenly to form an electrolyte. Among them, based on the mass of the electrolyte, the mass percentage content of LiPF6 was 12.5%.

[0149] (5) Assembly of the lithium-ion battery

[0150] The positive electrode sheet equipped with a positive electrode tab, the separator, and the negative electrode sheet equipped with a negative electrode tab were stacked in sequence. The separator was placed between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet to play a role in isolation, and then wound to obtain an electrode assembly. The electrode assembly was placed in an outer packaging aluminum-plastic film, dehydrated at 80 °C, then the above electrolyte was injected and sealed. After processes such as formation, degassing, and edge trimming, a lithium-ion battery was obtained. The test methods for the various parameters of each embodiment of the present application are described below.

[0151] II. Performance testing of the lithium-ion battery

[0152] (1) Cycle testing and lithium plating testing

[0153] Ambient temperature cycling test: In an environment of 25°C, the electrode assembly is charged at a constant current of 3C to the full charge voltage (the maximum battery design voltage is 4.5V), then charged at a constant voltage at the maximum voltage until the current is 0.02C, and then discharged at a constant current of 0.7C until the final voltage is 3.0V. Record the discharge capacity of the first cycle. Then repeat the above conditions and steps for 1000 charge and discharge cycles, and record the discharge capacity of the lithium-ion battery after 1000 charge and discharge cycles.

[0154] After testing at 25°C and after 1000 charge and discharge cycles, when the battery is in the fully charged state (the maximum battery design voltage is 4.5V), disassemble it and observe whether there is lithium deposition at the negative electrode interface / tab / protective glue. The judgment criterion for the presence or absence of lithium deposition is: the lithium deposition area is greater than 1 square millimeter and appears in ≥30% of the layers.

[0155] (3)Winding yield test

[0156] In an integrated winding machine, the separator is wound between two polar plates with opposite polarities (the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate) to form an electrode assembly. Use an X-Ray device to measure the distance M (M>0.1mm is qualified) that the edge of the negative electrode plate of the electrode assembly exceeds the edge of the positive electrode plate in the width direction of the positive electrode plate. Continuously prepare samples, count the total number of samples T (the total number is 100), and the number of qualified products N;

[0157] Winding yield = N / T×100%.

[0158] (4)Test method for average radial dimension R and height H

[0159] Use a scanning electron microscope (SEM) measurement method to measure the polar plate. Put the polar plate sample into the scanning electron microscope, and obtain a high-resolution image of the convex structure through electron beam scanning. In the SEM image, an image processing software can be used to draw a measurement line along the height direction of the convex structure, and calculate the height of the convex structure according to the pixel information of the image and the known magnification. Similarly, in the SEM image, measure the diameter of the convex structure through the image processing software, and obtain the average radial dimension by averaging three values at three positions. It can also be obtained by measuring with a VR series shape profile measuring microscope.
