With the widespread application of lithium-ion batteries, the market has put forward higher and higher requirements on the performance of lithium-ion batteries.
[0003] At present, the winding structure is the most mature structural process for lithium-ion batteries. Usually, the negative electrode sheet with a single-sided material layer is used for initial winding in the winding structure to increase the proportion of active materials and improve the energy density of the secondary battery. However, the negative electrode sheet in the single-sided negative electrode material layer area will have obvious stress concentration after cold pressing, which will lead to obvious curling of the negative electrode sheet. The curled single-sided negative electrode sheet structure affects the electrode assembly structure and glue bonding during the winding process, and even the belt breakage problem is prone to occur at the junction of the double-sided and single-sided areas. Summary of the invention

Along the length direction of the unfolded negative electrode sheet, the negative electrode sheet includes an empty foil area and a single-sided negative electrode material layer area connected to the empty foil area. Based on the length of the negative electrode sheet, the length of the empty foil area accounts for A, and the length of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area accounts for B, 1 / 60≤A≤1 / 11, preferably, 1 / 30≤A≤1 / 11; 1 / 20≤B≤1 / 5, preferably, 1 / 14≤B≤1 / 5. A plurality of grooves are provided on the negative electrode material layer in the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, and the grooves are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the negative electrode sheet.

For example, the value of A can be 1 / 60, 1 / 50, 1 / 40, 1 / 30, 1 / 29, 1 / 28, 1 / 27, 1 / 26, 1 / 25, 1 / 24, 1 / 23, 1 / 22, 1 / 21, 1 / 20, 1 / 19, 1 / 18, 1 / 17, 1 / 16, 1 / 15, 1 / 14, 1 / 13, 1 / 12, 1 / 11, or a range consisting of any two of the values; the value of B can be 1 / 20, 1 / 19, 1 / 18, 1 / 17, 1 / 16, 1 / 15, 1 / 14, 1 / 13, 1 / 12, 1 / 11, 1 / 10, 1 / 9, 1 / 8, 1 / 7, 1 / 6, 1 / 5, or a range consisting of any two of the values. A plurality of grooves are provided on the negative electrode material layer in the single-sided negative electrode material layer region, and the grooves are spaced apart along the length direction of the negative electrode sheet.
[0029] The present application adjusts the values of A and B within the above range and sets grooves on the negative electrode material layer in the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, which is beneficial to dispersing the cold pressing residual stress of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area and improving the stress concentration problem in the single-sided negative electrode material layer area. It is applied to secondary batteries, thereby improving the curling of the negative electrode pole piece in the single-sided area, thereby reducing the risk of broken tape and material folding during the actual processing of the negative electrode pole piece in the single-sided area, improving the winding rate of the secondary battery, and reducing the capacity loss of the secondary battery caused by folding and the safety risk of short circuit. At the same time, by setting grooves on the negative electrode material layer in the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, the wetting performance of the electrolyte on the negative electrode pole piece in the single-sided area is improved, and the liquid retention performance of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area is improved, thereby improving the dynamic performance and safety performance of the secondary battery.
[0030] In some embodiments of the present application, along the thickness direction of the negative electrode sheet, a single groove has an orthographic projection on the negative electrode material layer, along the length direction of the negative electrode sheet, the length of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area is L mm, the negative electrode sheet also includes a double-sided negative electrode material layer area, the single-sided negative electrode material layer area and the double-sided negative electrode material layer area have a dividing line, the shortest distance between the outer contour of the orthographic projection of a single groove and the dividing line is L1 mm, 1 / 2≤(L-L1) / L≤1. For example, the value of (L-L1) / L can be 1 / 2, 11 / 20, 3 / 5, 13 / 20, 7 / 10, 3 / 4, 4 / 5, 19 / 20, 1 or a range consisting of any two of these values.
[0031] For ease of understanding, in this application, the negative electrode sheet is applied to the electrode assembly of the winding structure, and the electrode assembly is defined as having its own length direction as the X direction, its own width direction as the Y direction, and its own thickness direction as the Z direction in the unfolded state. It is understandable that the negative electrode sheet, the positive electrode sheet, and the separator have the same length direction, width direction, and thickness direction as the electrode assembly in the unfolded state, and the winding direction of the electrode assembly is the W direction. The above direction limitations are only used to understand the technical solution of this application and do not limit the scope of protection of this application.
[0032] For example, Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the electrode assembly 001 includes a positive electrode sheet 10, a negative electrode sheet 20 and a separator 30. The negative electrode sheet 20 includes a negative electrode current collector 21 and a negative electrode material layer 22. Along the length direction (X direction) of the unfolded negative electrode sheet 20 and along the winding direction (W direction) of the electrode assembly 001, the negative electrode sheet 20 includes a hollow foil area 210, a single-sided negative electrode material layer area 220 and a double-sided negative electrode material layer area 230. The single-sided negative electrode material layer area 220 is close to the winding center of the electrode assembly 001, and the negative electrode material layer 22 of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area 220 is arranged on the side of the negative electrode current collector 21 away from the winding center of the electrode assembly 001. A plurality of grooves 2201 are arranged on the negative electrode material layer 22 of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area 220. The plurality of grooves 2201 extend along the width direction (Y direction) of the unfolded negative electrode sheet 20 and are arranged at intervals along the length direction (X direction) of the unfolded negative electrode sheet 20. Along the length direction (X direction) of the unfolded negative electrode sheet 20 and along the winding direction (W direction) of the electrode assembly 001, the length of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area 220 is L mm, the single-sided negative electrode material layer area 220 and the double-sided negative electrode material layer area 230 have a dividing line PQ, and the shortest distance between the outer contour of the positive projection of a single groove 2201 and the dividing line PQ is L1 mm.
[0033] By adjusting the value of (L-L1) / L within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the curling problem of the single-sided negative electrode material layer, thereby reducing the risk of broken tape and material folding during the actual processing of the single-sided negative electrode sheet. At the same time, it is also beneficial to improve the wetting performance of the electrolyte on the single-sided negative electrode sheet, improve the liquid retention performance of the single-sided negative electrode material layer, thereby improving the kinetic performance and safety performance of the secondary battery. In addition, it takes into account the actual production efficiency and is conducive to processing.
[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, along the width direction of the negative electrode sheet, the single-sided negative electrode material layer area includes a middle area and two edge areas connected to the middle area, and the grooves are spaced apart in the two edge areas and respectively penetrate the two edge areas. Based on the width of the negative electrode material layer in the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, the length of the middle area accounts for C, 0%≤C≤30%. For example, the value of C can be 0%, 2%, 5%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 22%, 25%, 28%, 30%, or a range consisting of any two of these values. For example, Figure 2 As shown, along the width direction (Y direction) after the negative electrode sheet 20 is unfolded, the single-sided negative electrode material layer area 220 includes a middle area and two edge areas connected to the middle area, wherein the two edge areas are the parts in the dotted frame of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area 220. The grooves 2201 are spaced apart in the two edge areas and respectively penetrate the two edge areas. By adjusting the value of C within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the curling problem of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, thereby reducing the risk of broken tape and feed folding during the actual processing of the single-sided negative electrode sheet. At the same time, it is also beneficial to improve the wetting performance of the electrolyte on the single-sided negative electrode sheet, improve the liquid retention performance of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, thereby improving the dynamic performance and safety performance of the secondary battery. In addition, it takes into account the actual production efficiency and is conducive to processing.
[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, the negative electrode current collector includes a copper foil having a thickness of H μm, 4≤H≤8. For example, the value of H may be 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, or a range consisting of any two of these values. For example, Figure 3 As shown, the thickness of the negative electrode current collector 21 is H μm. By adjusting the value of H within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the curling problem of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area. On the basis of taking into account the energy density, the risk of broken tape and material folding during the actual processing of the single-sided negative electrode sheet is further reduced. At the same time, it is also beneficial to improve the electrolyte's wetting performance on the single-sided negative electrode sheet, improve the liquid retention performance of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, and thus improve the dynamic performance and safety performance of the secondary battery. The present application has no special restrictions on the regulation method of the thickness of the negative electrode current collector, as long as the purpose of the present application can be achieved. For example, commercially available current collectors of different thicknesses can be selected, and the thickness of the negative electrode current collector can be determined in combination with the test method of "L, A, B, L1, C, H, D, h, d, L2, α, S1 / S2 test" in the present application, and then the negative electrode current collector of the required thickness is selected.
[0036] In some embodiments of the present application, the coating weight per unit area of the negative electrode material layer in the single-sided negative electrode material layer region is m mg / 1540.25 mm 2, 100≤m≤200. For example, the value of m can be 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200 or a range consisting of any two of these values. By regulating the value of m within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the curling problem of the single-sided negative electrode material layer while ensuring the energy density, thereby further reducing the risk of broken tape and feed material folding during the actual processing of the single-sided negative electrode sheet. At the same time, it is also beneficial to improve the wetting performance of the electrolyte on the single-sided negative electrode sheet, improve the liquid retention performance of the single-sided negative electrode material layer, thereby improving the dynamic performance and safety performance of the secondary battery.
[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, the negative electrode current collector includes a copper foil, the thickness of the copper foil is H μm, 4≤H≤8, for example, the value of H can be 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8 or a range consisting of any two values thereof; and the coating weight per unit area of the negative electrode material layer in the single-sided negative electrode material layer region is m mg / 1540.25 mm 2 , 100≤m≤200, for example, the value of m can be 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200 or a range consisting of any two of these values. By regulating the values of H and m within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the curling problem of the single-sided negative electrode material layer while ensuring the energy density, thereby further reducing the risk of broken tape and feed material folding during the actual processing of the single-sided negative electrode sheet. At the same time, it is also beneficial to improve the wetting performance of the electrolyte on the single-sided negative electrode sheet, improve the liquid retention performance of the single-sided negative electrode material layer, thereby improving the dynamic performance and safety performance of the secondary battery.
[0038] In some embodiments of the present application, along the width direction of the negative electrode sheet, the width of the negative electrode sheet is D mm, along the length direction of the negative electrode sheet, the length of the single-sided negative electrode material layer region is L mm, 1≤L / D≤2, 50≤D≤130. For example, the value of L / D can be 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2 or a range consisting of any two of the values; the value of D can be 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130 or a range consisting of any two of the values. For example, Figure 2As shown, along the width direction (Y direction) of the unfolded negative electrode sheet 20, the width of the negative electrode sheet 20 is D mm, and along the length direction (Y direction) of the unfolded negative electrode sheet 20, the length of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area 220 is L mm. By regulating the value of L / D and the value of D within the above range, the larger the ratio of the length L of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area to the width D of the negative electrode sheet, the smaller the constraint of the double-sided negative electrode material layer area on the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, and the larger the amplitude of the angular curling. By regulating the values of L / D and D within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the curling problem of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, thereby further reducing the risk of broken tape and material folding during the actual processing of the single-sided negative electrode sheet. At the same time, it is also beneficial to improve the wetting performance of the electrolyte on the single-sided negative electrode sheet, improve the liquid retention performance of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, and thus improve the dynamic performance and safety performance of the secondary battery. In addition, the width of the negative electrode sheet and the length of the single-sided negative electrode material layer are related to the shape of the electrode assembly formed after winding. Adjusting the shape of the electrode assembly is beneficial to balancing actual production efficiency and processing performance.
[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, the negative electrode sheet further comprises a double-sided negative electrode material layer region, the negative electrode material layer comprises a negative electrode active material, the negative electrode active material comprises at least one of graphite or a silicon-carbon composite material, and the compaction density of the negative electrode material layer in the single-sided negative electrode material layer region is PD1 g / cm 3 The compaction density of the negative electrode material layer in the double-sided negative electrode material layer area is PD2 g / cm 3 , 0.95≤PD1 / PD2≤1. For example, the value of PD1 / PD2 can be 0.95, 0.955, 0.96, 0.965, 0.97, 0.975, 0.98, 0.985, 0.99, 0.995, 1 or a range consisting of any two of these values. By selecting the above-mentioned types of negative electrode active materials and adjusting the value of PD1 / PD2 within the above-mentioned range, while taking into account the energy density of the secondary battery, the effect of reducing the deformation of the single-sided negative electrode material layer due to the cold pressing residual stress is more obvious, and the curling problem of the single-sided negative electrode material layer is improved, thereby further reducing the risk of broken tape and material folding during the actual processing of the single-sided negative electrode sheet.
[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, 1.5≤PD2≤1.8. For example, the value of PD2 can be 1.5, 1.52, 1.55, 1.58, 1.6, 1.62, 1.65, 1.68, 1.7, 1.72, 1.75, 1.78, 1.8 or a range consisting of any two of these values. By regulating the value of PD2 within the above range, while taking into account the energy density of the secondary battery, the effect of reducing the deformation of the single-sided negative electrode material layer due to the cold pressing residual stress is more obvious, and the curling problem of the single-sided negative electrode material layer is improved, thereby further reducing the risk of broken tape and material folding during the actual processing of the single-sided negative electrode sheet.
[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, along the thickness direction of the negative electrode sheet, the average depth of the plurality of grooves is h μm, 5≤h≤30. For example, the value of h can be 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 30, or a range consisting of any two of these values. For example, Figure 3 As shown, along the thickness direction (Z direction) of the negative electrode sheet 20, the average depth of the plurality of grooves 2201 is h μm. By adjusting the value of h within the above range, it is helpful to improve the curling problem of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, thereby reducing the risk of broken tape and material folding during the actual processing of the single-sided negative electrode sheet.

By adjusting the value of d within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the curling problem of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, thereby reducing the risk of broken belts and material folding during the actual processing of the single-sided negative electrode sheet. At the same time, it is beneficial to improve the wetting performance of the electrolyte on the single-sided negative electrode sheet, improve the liquid retention performance of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, thereby improving the dynamic performance and safety performance of the secondary battery.

By adjusting the value of L2 within the above range, it is helpful to improve the curling problem of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, thereby reducing the risk of broken belts and material folding during the actual processing of the single-sided negative electrode sheet. At the same time, it is helpful to improve the wetting performance of the electrolyte on the single-sided negative electrode sheet, improve the liquid retention performance of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, thereby improving the dynamic performance and safety performance of the secondary battery. In addition, it takes into account the actual production efficiency and is conducive to processing.

By adjusting the value of L2 and the value of d within the above range, it is helpful to improve the curling problem of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, thereby reducing the risk of broken belts and material folding during the actual processing of the single-sided negative electrode sheet.

For example, the value of α can be 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70, 75, or a range consisting of any two of these values. For example, Figure 2As shown, the angle between the center line of a single groove 2201 and the length direction (X direction) of the unfolded negative electrode sheet 20 is α°. By adjusting the value of α within the above range, it is helpful to improve the curling problem of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, thereby reducing the risk of broken tape and material folding during the actual processing of the single-sided negative electrode sheet.

[0068] At an ambient temperature of 25°C, the lithium-ion batteries of the embodiments and comparative examples were discharged at 0.5C to 2.5V and then disassembled to obtain electrode assemblies. The negative electrode sheets were taken out from the electrode assemblies, soaked in dimethyl carbonate (DMC) for 20 minutes, and then placed in an oven and dried at 80°C for 12 hours to obtain test samples of the negative electrode sheets.
[0069] The negative electrode sheet is unfolded, and the empty foil area, the single-sided negative electrode material layer area and the double-sided negative electrode material layer area of the negative electrode sheet are confirmed by naked eye observation along the length direction of the unfolded negative electrode sheet, and the length L of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, the length of the empty foil area and the length of the negative electrode sheet are respectively measured with a tape measure, and then, based on the length of the negative electrode sheet, the length proportion A of the empty foil area and the length proportion B of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area are calculated. Observe the plane where the length direction and the width direction of the unfolded negative electrode sheet are located, confirm the dividing line between the single-sided negative electrode material layer area and the double-sided negative electrode material layer area, and measure the shortest distance L1 between the outer contour of a single groove on the surface of the negative electrode sheet and the dividing line along the length direction of the unfolded negative electrode sheet, and calculate the value of (L-L1) / L. Observe the plane where the length and width directions of the unfolded negative electrode pole piece are located, and observe the setting position of the groove along the width direction of the unfolded negative electrode pole piece. If the groove runs through along the width direction of the unfolded negative electrode pole piece, the middle area of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area accounts for 0, and based on the width of the negative electrode material layer in the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, the length proportion C of the middle area is 0; if the groove does not run through along the width direction of the unfolded negative electrode pole piece, then measure the length of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area without the groove and the width of the negative electrode material layer in the single-sided negative electrode material layer area along the width direction of the unfolded negative electrode pole piece, then the length proportion C of the middle area = the length of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area without the groove / the width of the negative electrode material layer in the single-sided negative electrode material layer area.
[0070] A scanning electron microscope is used to photograph each groove of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, and image recognition is used to calculate the projection area of a single groove, which is then added together to obtain the total area S1 of the positive projections of multiple grooves. The measured length L of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area is multiplied by the measured width of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area to obtain the projection area S2 of the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, and then S1 / S2 is calculated.
[0071] Select any 5 grooves located in the single-sided negative electrode material layer area, select any 5 positions on a single groove, measure the width of the grooves at the 5 positions, take the average value, which is the width of the positive projection of the single groove on the negative electrode material layer, and take the average value of the width of the 5 grooves to obtain the average width d of the positive projections of multiple grooves on the negative electrode material layer. Measure the shortest distance between the outer contour of a single groove on the negative electrode material layer and the outer contour of an adjacent groove on the negative electrode material layer, which is the shortest distance L2 between the outer contours of the positive projections of two adjacent grooves. Select any 5 grooves, determine the center line of each groove, measure the angle between the center line of each groove and the length direction of the negative electrode sheet after unfolding, and take the average value, which is the angle α between the center line of each groove and the length direction of the negative electrode sheet after unfolding.
[0072] The negative electrode sheet is cut along the thickness direction and the length direction after unfolding to obtain the longitudinal section of the negative electrode sheet, and the longitudinal section of the negative electrode sheet is ion polished and observed by electron scanning microscope. A clearer boundary line between the negative electrode material layer and the negative electrode collector can be observed, and the thickness H of the negative electrode collector is measured by using a micrometer along the thickness direction of the negative electrode sheet; 5 grooves are selected at random, and the distances from the surface of the negative electrode material layer to the bottom of each groove are measured by using a micrometer along the thickness direction of the negative electrode sheet, and the average value is taken as the average depth h of the multiple grooves.
