[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of lithium batteries, and in particular to a battery cell and a preparation method thereof, a battery and an electrical device. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, as the application scope of lithium-ion batteries has become more and more extensive, lithium-ion batteries have been widely used in energy storage power systems such as hydropower, thermal power, wind power and solar power stations, as well as power tools, electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles, military equipment, aerospace and other fields. As lithium-ion batteries have made great progress, higher requirements have been put forward for their power, energy density and cycle performance.

[0003] As lithium batteries continue to develop towards high power and high energy density, capacity decay has become the main limiting factor of lithium batteries. Summary of the invention

[0004] The present application is made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its purpose is to provide a battery cell and a preparation method thereof, a battery and an electrical device, which can improve the cycle performance and service life of the battery cell.

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the first aspect of the present application provides a battery cell, which includes: an electrode assembly, the electrode assembly includes a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate and a separator, the electrode assembly has two opposite ends, the electrode assembly includes a pole ear, the pole ear is located at the end, the separator is arranged between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, the separator includes a first region and a second region, the first region is closer to the end than the second region, and the ionic conductivity of the second region is less than the ionic conductivity of the first region.

[0006] Therefore, during the operation of the battery cell, since the heat in the middle of the battery cell cannot be effectively conducted, the temperature in the middle of the battery cell is higher than the temperature at the edge of the battery cell. The battery cell of the present application makes the ionic conductivity of the second region of the isolation membrane smaller than the ionic conductivity of the first region, wherein the first region is closer to the end of the electrode assembly than the second region, that is, the second region is closer to the middle of the battery cell than the first region, thereby being able to control the reaction rates of different regions inside the battery cell. The reaction rate of the second region closer to the middle of the battery cell is reduced, the temperature is lowered, and the performance attenuation is reduced, so that the battery cell can achieve the purpose of promoting the reaction temperature and performance attenuation of different regions to be close to each other under the conditions of low-rate charging and high-power discharging, thereby effectively improving the cycle performance and service life of the battery cell.

[0007] In any embodiment, the difference between the ionic conductivity of the first region and the ionic conductivity of the second region is 0.02mS / cm to 0.6mS / cm. By making the difference between the ionic conductivity of the first region and the ionic conductivity of the second region within the above range, it is beneficial to control the ionic conduction rates of different regions in the battery cell to be close to the same under the condition of low-rate charging and high-power discharging of the battery cell, thereby effectively improving the cycle performance and service life of the battery cell.

[0008] In any embodiment, the separator includes a coating material, and the coating material of the first region is the same as the coating material of the second region, and the compaction density of the second region is greater than the compaction density of the first region. Under the premise that the coating materials of different regions of the separator are the same, the battery cell of the present application can achieve different ion conductivities in different regions by changing the compaction density of different regions of the separator.

[0009] In any embodiment, the isolation membrane also includes a third region, the first region and the third region are respectively close to the two ends of the electrode assembly, the second region is located between the first region and the third region, and the ion conductivity of the second region is less than the ion conductivity of the third region. The battery cell of the present application is divided into three regions by the isolation membrane, wherein the second region is a region closer to the middle of the battery cell, and the first region and the third region are regions closer to the end of the electrode assembly, and further by making the ion conductivity of the second region smaller than the first region and the third region close to the edge of the battery cell, the reaction rate of different regions inside the battery cell can be controlled, and the reaction rate of the second region closer to the middle of the battery cell is reduced, so that the battery cell can achieve the purpose of promoting the reaction temperature and performance attenuation of different regions to be close to each other under the condition of low-rate charging and high-power discharging, thereby effectively improving the cycle performance and service life of the battery cell.

[0010] In any embodiment, the two opposite ends of the electrode assembly are respectively the first end and the second end, the direction extending from the first end to the second end is the height direction of the electrode assembly, the first region, the second region and the third region are sequentially distributed along the height direction of the electrode assembly, and the ratio of the dimensions of the first region, the second region and the third region along the height direction of the electrode assembly is 10-40:50-60:10-40. By making the ratio of the dimensions of the first region, the second region and the third region along the height direction of the electrode assembly within the above range, different regions can be further subdivided according to the temperature of the battery cell when it is working, so that different regions can be more accurately controlled to be close to each other in terms of reaction temperature and performance attenuation.

[0011] In any embodiment, the difference between the ionic conductivity of the first region and the ionic conductivity of the second region is 0.06mS / cm to 0.3mS / cm, and / or; the difference between the ionic conductivity of the third region and the ionic conductivity of the second region is 0.02mS / cm to 0.2mS / cm. By making the difference between the ionic conductivity of the first region and the ionic conductivity of the second region and / or the difference between the ionic conductivity of the third region and the ionic conductivity of the second region within the above range, the reaction rate of different regions inside the battery cell can be controlled more accurately, so that the battery cell can achieve the purpose of promoting the reaction temperature and performance attenuation of different regions to be close to each other under the condition of low-rate charging and high-power discharging.

[0012] In any embodiment, the tabs include a positive tab and a negative tab disposed at the first end, and the dimension of the first region along the height direction of the electrode assembly is smaller than the dimension of the third region along the height direction of the electrode assembly. There is a certain amount of free space near the first region close to the positive tab and the negative tab and it is at the edge, and its heat dissipation is better than that of the third region without free space nearby, so the temperature of the first region is the lowest compared to the temperature of the second region and the third region during the operation of the battery cell, and when dividing the regions, by making the dimension of the first region along the height direction of the electrode assembly smaller than the dimension of the third region along the height direction of the electrode assembly, different regions can be further subdivided according to the temperature of the battery cell when it is operating, so that different regions can be more accurately controlled to be close to the same in reaction temperature and performance attenuation.

[0013] In any embodiment, the ratio of the dimensions of the first region, the second region and the third region along the height direction of the electrode assembly is 25-35:45-55:35-45, the ionic conductivity of the second region is smaller than the ionic conductivity of the third region, and the ionic conductivity of the third region is smaller than the ionic conductivity of the first region. When the ratio of the dimensions of the first region, the second region, and the third region along the height direction of the electrode assembly is within the above range, there is a certain amount of free space near the first region close to the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab and it is at the edge position, and its heat dissipation is better, so the temperature of the first region is the lowest compared to the temperatures of the second and third regions during the operation of the battery cell, and the performance attenuation is the smallest. Although there is no free space near the third region, it is also at the edge position, so the temperature and performance attenuation of the third region during the operation of the battery cell are between the first and third regions. By making the ionic conductivity of the second region smaller than the ionic conductivity of the third region, and the ionic conductivity of the third region smaller than the ionic conductivity of the first region, the difference in reaction rates between the first region, the second region, and the third region can be reduced, so that the battery cell can achieve the purpose of promoting the reaction temperature and performance attenuation of different regions to be close to each other under the conditions of low-rate charging and high-power discharging, thereby effectively improving the cycle performance and service life of the battery cell.

[0014] In any embodiment, the ionic conductivity of the first region is 0.3mS / cm to 0.9mS / cm, and / or the ionic conductivity of the second region is 0.4mS / cm to 0.95mS / cm. By making the ionic conductivity of the first region and / or the ionic conductivity of the second region within the above range, and satisfying that the ionic conductivity of the second region is less than that of the first region, the cycle performance and service life of the battery cell can be effectively improved.

[0015] The second aspect of the present application provides a method for preparing a battery cell, which includes: setting a coating material on the surface of a base film to form an isolation membrane, so that the isolation membrane includes a first region and a second region, and the ion conductivity of the second region is less than the ion conductivity of the first region, assembling the positive electrode plate, the negative electrode plate and the isolation membrane into an electrode assembly, the electrode assembly has two opposite ends, the electrode assembly includes a pole ear, the pole ear is located at the end, so that the first region is closer to the end than the second region.

[0016] Therefore, the preparation method of the battery cell of the present application is to form an isolation membrane having a first region and a second region by setting a coating material on the surface of the base film, and the ionic conductivity of the second region is less than that of the first region. Among them, the first region is closer to the end of the electrode assembly than the second region, that is, the second region is closer to the middle of the battery cell than the first region, so that the reaction rate of different regions inside the battery cell can be controlled, and the reaction rate of the second region closer to the middle of the battery cell is reduced, the temperature is reduced, and the performance attenuation is reduced, so that the battery cell can achieve the purpose of promoting the reaction temperature and performance attenuation of different regions to be close to each other under the condition of low-rate charging and high-power discharging, thereby effectively improving the cycle performance and service life of the battery cell.

[0017] In any embodiment, the first region and the second region are sequentially distributed along the width direction of the isolation membrane, and the coating material is firstly arranged in the first region and the second region of the base film, and the first coating layer is formed after drying, and then the coating material is arranged in the second region, and the second coating layer is formed after drying, and the isolation membrane is obtained by roller compaction. The preparation method of the battery cell of the present application makes the first region only include the first coating layer, and the second region includes the first coating layer and the second coating layer, and then the compaction density of the second region is greater than the compaction density of the first region by roller compaction, thereby obtaining an isolation membrane having an ion conductivity of the first region greater than that of the second region.

[0018] In any embodiment, the isolation membrane also includes a third region, and the ion conductivity of the third region is less than that of the first region. The first region, the second region, and the third region are sequentially distributed along the width direction of the isolation membrane. The coating material is first set in the first region, the second region, and the third region of the base membrane, and the first coating is formed after drying. Then the coating material is set in the second region and the third region, and the coating material is set again in the second region, and the second coating and the third coating are formed after drying. The isolation membrane is obtained by roller compaction. The preparation method of the battery cell of the present application makes the first region include only the first coating, the third region includes the first coating and the second coating, and the second region includes the first coating, the second coating, and the third coating. Then, the compaction density of the second region is greater than the compaction density of the third region and greater than the compaction density of the first region by roller compaction, thereby obtaining an isolation membrane having an ion conductivity of the first region greater than that of the third region and greater than that of the second region.

[0019] In any embodiment, the thickness of the first coating layer is 0.1 μm to 2 μm, and / or the thickness of the second coating layer is 1 μm to 4 μm, and / or the thickness of the third coating layer is 1 μm to 3 μm.

In addition, the drawings and the following description are provided for those skilled in the art to fully understand the present application and are not intended to limit the subject matter described in the claims.

[0043] "Scope" disclosed in the present application is limited in the form of lower limit and upper limit, and a given range is limited by selecting a lower limit and an upper limit, and the selected lower limit and upper limit define the boundary of a special range. The scope limited in this way can be including end values ​​or not including end values, and can be arbitrarily combined, that is, any lower limit can be combined with any upper limit to form a scope. For example, if the scope of 60-120 and 80-110 is listed for a specific parameter, it is understood that the scope of 60-110 and 80-120 is also expected. In addition, if the minimum range values ​​1 and 2 are listed, and if the maximum range values ​​3, 4 and 5 are listed, the following scope can be all expected: 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 2-3, 2-4 and 2-5.

[0047] As lithium batteries continue to develop towards high power and high energy density, the heat in the middle of the battery cell cannot be effectively conducted, so that the temperature in the middle of the battery cell is always higher than the temperature of other edges when the battery cell is working. This causes the reaction rate in the middle of the battery cell to be the fastest and the capacity decay to be the fastest, and lithium ions are preferentially released. As the number of cycles increases, lithium plating in the middle of the battery cell becomes more serious and the number of side reactions increases, which leads to an increase in the proportion of irreversible reactions in the middle of the battery cell, thereby accelerating the capacity decay.

[0048] Based on this, the present application proposes a battery cell and a method for preparing the same, a battery and an electrical device. The present application and optional implementation methods are described in more detail below.

[0049] According to some embodiments of the present application, please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a battery cell 5 according to an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 yes Figure 1 An exploded view of a battery cell 5 according to an embodiment of the present application is shown; Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of an isolation film 521 according to a first embodiment of the present application; Figure 4 is a schematic diagram of an isolation film 521 according to a second embodiment of the present application; Figure 5 It is a schematic diagram of an isolation film 521 according to a third embodiment of the present application.

[0050] The present application provides a battery cell 5, which includes: an electrode assembly 52, the electrode assembly 52 includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet and a separator 521, the electrode assembly 52 has two opposite ends 523, the electrode assembly 22 includes a pole ear 522, the pole ear 522 is located at the end 523, the separator 521 is arranged between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, the separator 521 includes a first region 5211 and a second region 5212, the first region 5211 is closer to the end 523 than the second region 5212, and the ionic conductivity of the second region 5212 is less than the ionic conductivity of the first region 5211.

[0051] The electrode assembly 52 is a structure made of a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet and a separator 521 through a winding process or a lamination process.

[0052] In some embodiments, the battery cell 5 may include an outer packaging, which may be used to encapsulate the electrode assembly 52 and the electrolyte.

[0053] In some embodiments, the outer packaging of the battery cell 5 may be a hard shell, such as a hard plastic shell, an aluminum shell, a steel shell, etc. The outer packaging of the battery cell 5 may also be a soft package, such as a bag-type soft package. The material of the soft package may be plastic, and examples of the plastic include polypropylene, polybutylene terephthalate, and polybutylene succinate.

[0054] The present application has no particular limitation on the shape of the battery cell 5, which may be cylindrical, square or any other shape. Figure 1 The battery cell 5 is a square structure as an example.

[0055] In some embodiments, reference Figure 2 , the outer packaging may include a shell 51 and a cover plate 53. Among them, the shell 51 may include a bottom plate and a side plate connected to the bottom plate, and the bottom plate and the side plate enclose a receiving cavity. The shell 51 has an opening connected to the receiving cavity, and the cover plate 53 can be covered on the opening to close the receiving cavity. The positive electrode sheet, the negative electrode sheet and the isolation film 521 can form an electrode assembly 52 through a winding process or a lamination process. The electrode assembly 52 is encapsulated in the receiving cavity. The electrolyte is infiltrated in the electrode assembly 52. ​​The number of electrode assemblies 52 contained in the battery cell 5 can be one or more, and those skilled in the art can select according to specific actual needs.

[0056] The first region 5211 is a region closer to the end portion 523 than the second region 5212 , and the second region 5212 is a region farther from the end portion 523 than the first region 5211 .

[0057] It should be noted that the positions of the first region 5211 and the second region 5212 are relative, the isolation film 521 can be divided into the first region 5211 and the second region 5212, and the isolation film 521 can also include other regions 5213 in addition to the first region 5211 and the second region 5212. The shapes and sizes of the first region 5211 and the second region 5212 can be determined according to actual conditions.

[0058] For example, see Figure 3 The isolation film 521 as a whole is divided into a first area 5211 and a second area 5212 , wherein the second area 5212 is a circular area located in the middle of the isolation film 521 , and the first area 5211 is an annular area surrounding the second area 5212 .

[0059] See also Figure 4 The isolation film 521 as a whole is divided into a first area 5211 and a second area 5212 , wherein the second area 5212 is a rectangular area located in the middle of the isolation film 521 , and the first area 5211 is an annular area surrounding the second area 5212 .

[0060] See also Figure 5 The isolation film 521 includes a first region 5211, a second region 5212 and other regions 5213, wherein the first region 5211 is a region located in the middle of the isolation film 521, the second region 5212 is an annular region surrounding the first region 5211, and the other region 5213 is an annular region surrounding the second region 5212.

[0061] Optionally, the isolation film 521 is divided into a plurality of temperature rise regions. When the battery cell 5 is in working state, different temperature rise regions have different temperature rises. The first region 5211 is the region with the highest temperature rise, and the second region 5212 is the region with the lowest temperature rise.

[0062] The ionic conductivity of different regions of the isolation membrane 521 can be measured by the following method:

[0063] S1. The isolation film 521 is cut into small isolation films 521 of a certain area and vacuum-baked at 60°C for 12h;

[0064] S2. After baking, the isolation film 521 is assembled in the mold and transferred to the instrument;

[0065] S3. Perform vacuuming and aeration steps to remove relevant air and moisture in the sample;

[0066] S4. Quantitatively and automatically inject liquid (300 μL, 1M LiPF6, EMC:EC:DMC=1:1:1) into each channel, and let it stand for a certain period of time after the injection is completed;

[0067] S5. After standing still, an impedance test is performed using an EIS module of a multi-channel ionic conductivity test system;

[0068] S6. Complete the assembly and testing of 1 to 4 layers of isolation membranes 521 respectively, use automatic fitting software, and fit the obtained EIS as the baseline, and the intersection of the impedance and the X-axis is Rs. Fit the EIS test results of the n-layer isolation membrane 521 to obtain the resistance Rs(n) of the n-layer isolation membrane 521, and calculate the ionic conductivity of different regions of the isolation membrane 521.

[0069] During the operation of the battery cell 5, since the heat in the middle of the battery cell 5 cannot be effectively conducted, the temperature in the middle of the battery cell 5 is higher than the temperature at the edge of the battery cell 5. The battery cell 5 of the present application makes the ionic conductivity of the second area 5212 of the isolation membrane 521 less than the ionic conductivity of the first area 5211, wherein the first area 5211 is closer to the end 523 of the electrode assembly 52 than the second area 5212, that is, the second area 5212 is closer to the middle of the battery cell 5 than the first area 5211, so that the reaction rates of different areas inside the battery cell 5 can be controlled, and the reaction rate of the second area 5212 closer to the middle of the battery cell 5 is reduced, the temperature is reduced, and the performance attenuation is reduced, so that the battery cell 5 can achieve the purpose of promoting the reaction temperature and performance attenuation of different areas to be close to each other under the conditions of low-rate charging and high-power discharging, thereby effectively improving the cycle performance and service life of the battery cell 5.

[0070] In some embodiments, the difference between the ionic conductivity of the first region 5211 and the ionic conductivity of the second region 5212 is 0.02 mS / cm to 0.6 mS / cm.

[0071] As an example, the difference between the ionic conductivity of the first region 5211 and the ionic conductivity of the second region 5212 can be 0.02mS / cm, 0.03mS / cm, 0.04mS / cm, 0.05mS / cm, 0.08mS / cm, 0.1mS / cm, 0.2mS / cm, 0.3mS / cm, 0.4mS / cm, 0.5mS / cm or 0.6mS / cm.

[0072] Optionally, the difference between the ionic conductivity of the first region 5211 and the ionic conductivity of the second region 5212 is 0.08 mS / cm to 0.4 mS / cm.

[0073] By making the difference between the ionic conductivity of the first region 5211 and the ionic conductivity of the second region 5212 within the above range, it is beneficial to control the ionic conduction rates of different regions in the battery cell 5 to be close to the same under the conditions of low-rate charging and high-power discharging of the battery cell 5, thereby effectively improving the cycle performance and service life of the battery cell 5.

[0074] In some embodiments, the isolation film 521 includes a coating material, and the coating material of the first region 5211 is the same as the coating material of the second region 5212 , and the compaction density of the second region 5212 is greater than the compaction density of the first region 5211 .

[0075] Compacted density refers to the ratio of surface density to material thickness, and surface density refers to mass per unit area. The first region 5211 and the second region 5212 of the isolation film 521 of the present application have the same thickness, and the compacted density of the second region 5212 is greater than the compacted density of the first region 5211, that is, the surface density of the first region 5211 is greater than the surface density of the second region 5212, and the mass per unit area of ​​the first region 5211 is greater than the mass per unit area of ​​the second region 5212.

[0076] The compacted density can be measured by the following method:

[0077] First, take a compacted diaphragm of a fixed area S, obtain the weight M of the diaphragm (including the coating material) by weighing, then subtract the weight m of the base film, and measure the thickness H of the diaphragm. After subtracting the thickness h of the base film, calculate the compaction density: D (compaction density) = (Mm) / (S*(Hh).

[0078] On the premise that the coating materials of different regions of the isolation membrane 521 are the same, the battery cell 5 of the present application can achieve different ion conductivities in different regions by changing the compaction density of different regions of the isolation membrane 521 .

In some embodiments, the isolation membrane 521 further includes a third region 5214, the first region 5211 and the third region 5214 are respectively close to the two ends 523 of the electrode assembly 52, the second region 5212 is located between the first region 5211 and the third region 5214, and the ion conductivity of the second region 5212 is less than the ion conductivity of the third region 5214.

[0080] The battery cell 5 of the present application is divided into three areas by the isolation membrane 521, wherein the second area 5212 is the area closer to the middle of the battery cell 5, and the first area 5211 and the third area 5214 are the areas closer to the end 523 of the electrode assembly 52, and further by making the ionic conductivity of the second area 5212 smaller than the first area 5211 and the third area 5214 close to the edge of the battery cell 5, the reaction rates of different areas inside the battery cell 5 can be controlled, and the reaction rate of the second area 5212 closer to the middle of the battery cell 5 is reduced, so that the battery cell 5 can achieve the purpose of promoting the reaction temperature and performance attenuation of different areas to be close to each other under the conditions of low-rate charging and high-power discharging, thereby effectively improving the cycle performance and service life of the battery cell 5.

[0081] In some embodiments, the two opposite ends 523 of the electrode assembly 52 are respectively the first end and the second end, the direction extending from the first end to the second end is the height direction of the electrode assembly 52, the first region 5211, the second region 5212 and the third region 5214 are distributed in sequence along the height direction of the electrode assembly 52, and the ratio of the dimensions of the first region 5211, the second region 5212 and the third region 5214 along the height direction of the electrode assembly 52 is 10~40:50~60:10~40.

[0082] In such Figure 6 In the illustrated embodiment, the first region 5211 , the second region 5212 , and the third region 5214 are all rectangles distributed in sequence along the height direction of the electrode assembly 52 .

[0083] As an example, the dimensions of the first region 5211, the second region 5212, and the third region 5214 along the height direction of the electrode assembly 52 may be 10:60:30, 10:50:40, 20:50:30, 20:60:20, 30:50:20, 30:60:20, or 40:50:10.

[0084] By making the ratio of the dimensions of the first region 5211, the second region 5212 and the third region 5214 along the height direction of the electrode assembly 52 within the above range, different regions can be further subdivided according to the temperature of the battery cell 5 during operation, so that different regions can be more accurately controlled to be consistent in reaction temperature and performance attenuation.

[0085] In some embodiments, the difference between the ionic conductivity of the first region 5211 and the ionic conductivity of the second region 5212 is 0.06mS / cm to 0.3mS / cm, and / or; the difference between the ionic conductivity of the third region 5214 and the ionic conductivity of the second region 5212 is 0.02mS / cm to 0.2mS / cm.

[0086] As an example, the difference between the ionic conductivity of the first region 5211 and the ionic conductivity of the second region 5212 can be 0.06mS / cm, 0.08mS / cm, 0.1mS / cm, 0.15mS / cm, 0.2mS / cm, 0.25mS / cm or 0.3mS / cm, and / or; the difference between the ionic conductivity of the third region 5214 and the ionic conductivity of the second region 5212 can be 0.02mS / cm, 0.03mS / cm, 0.05mS / cm, 0.08mS / cm, 0.1mS / cm, 0.12mS / cm, 0.15mS / cm, 0.18mS / cm or 0.2mS / cm.

[0087] By making the difference between the ionic conductivity of the first region 5211 and the ionic conductivity of the second region 5212 and / or the difference between the ionic conductivity of the third region 5214 and the second region 5212 within the above-mentioned range, the reaction rates of different regions inside the battery cell 5 can be controlled more accurately, so that the battery cell 5 can achieve the purpose of promoting the reaction temperature and performance attenuation of different regions to be close to each other under the conditions of low-rate charging and high-power discharging.

[0088] See also Figure 7 , Figure 7 7 is a schematic diagram of an electrode assembly 52 of an embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the electrode tab 522 includes a positive electrode tab 5221 and a negative electrode tab 5222 arranged at the first end, and the size of the first region 5211 along the height direction of the electrode assembly 52 is smaller than the size of the third region 5214 along the height direction of the electrode assembly 52.

[0089] For example, the dimensions of the first region 5211 , the second region 5212 , and the third region 5214 along the height direction of the electrode assembly 52 may be 10:60:30, 10:50:40, 20:40:40, 20:50:30, or 25:45:30.

[0090] There is a certain amount of free space near the first region 5211 close to the positive electrode tab 5221 and the negative electrode tab 5222 and it is at the edge position. Its heat dissipation is better than that of the third region 5214 where there is no free space nearby. Therefore, during the operation of the battery cell 5, the temperature of the first region 5211 is the lowest compared to the temperatures of the second region 5212 and the third region 5214. When dividing the regions, by making the size of the first region 5211 along the height direction of the electrode assembly 52 smaller than the size of the third region 5214 along the height direction of the electrode assembly 52, different regions can be further subdivided according to the temperature of the battery cell 5 during operation, so that different regions can be more accurately controlled to be consistent in reaction temperature and performance attenuation.

[0091] See also Figure 8 , Figure 8 It is a schematic diagram of an electrode assembly 52 of another embodiment of the present application, in which the positive electrode ear 5221 of the electrode assembly 52 is located at the first end, the negative electrode ear 5222 is located at the second end, and the first region 5211 is close to the first end, and the third region 5214 is close to the second end. If the space of the positive electrode column is sufficient, the first region 5211 has sufficient heat dissipation space, and the size of the first region 5211 along the height direction of the electrode assembly 52 is smaller than the size of the third region 5214 along the height direction of the electrode assembly 52; if the space of the positive electrode column is insufficient, the size of the first region 5211 along the height direction of the electrode assembly 52 is equal to the size of the third region 5214 along the height direction of the electrode assembly 52.

[0092] In some embodiments, the ratio of the dimensions of the first region 5211, the second region 5212, and the third region 5214 along the height direction of the electrode assembly 52 is 25-35:45-55:35-45, the ionic conductivity of the second region 5212 is smaller than the ionic conductivity of the third region 5214, and the ionic conductivity of the third region 5214 is smaller than the ionic conductivity of the first region 5211.

[0093] Optionally, a ratio of the sizes of the first region 5211 , the second region 5212 , and the third region 5214 along the height direction of the electrode assembly 52 is 30:50:40.

[0094] When the ratio of the dimensions of the first region 5211, the second region 5212, and the third region 5214 along the height direction of the electrode assembly 52 is within the above range, there is a certain amount of free space near the first region 5211 close to the positive electrode tab 5221 and the negative electrode tab 5222 and it is at the edge position, and its heat dissipation is good. Therefore, during the operation of the battery cell 5, the temperature of the first region 5211 is the lowest compared to the temperatures of the second region 5212 and the third region 5214, and the performance attenuation is the smallest. Although there is no free space near the third region 5214, it is also at the edge position. Therefore, during the operation of the battery cell 5, the third region 5214 is The temperature and performance attenuation of 5214 are between the first region 5211 and the third region 5214. By making the ionic conductivity of the second region 5212 smaller than the ionic conductivity of the third region 5214, and the ionic conductivity of the third region 5214 smaller than the ionic conductivity of the first region 5211, the difference in reaction rates among the first region 5211, the second region 5212 and the third region 5214 can be reduced, so that the battery cell 5 can achieve the purpose of promoting the reaction temperature and performance attenuation of different regions to be close to each other under the conditions of low-rate charging and high-power discharging, thereby effectively improving the cycle performance and service life of the battery cell 5.

[0095] In some embodiments, the ionic conductivity of the first region 5211 is 0.3 mS / cm to 0.9 mS / cm, and / or the ionic conductivity of the second region 5212 is 0.4 mS / cm to 0.95 mS / cm.

The multilayer structure is further stretched at a high temperature to peel off the crystal surface to form a porous structure, thereby obtaining a polyolefin porous structure base film.

[0206] The base film is supported by a supporting roller, and a coating sprayer is used to spray a special aluminum oxide slurry on one side of the base film.

The coating is compacted by a pressure roller to obtain an isolation film.

[0207] S4. Preparation of electrolyte

[0208] In an argon atmosphere glove box (H2O<0.1ppm, O2<0.1ppm), organic solvents ethylene carbonate (EC) and ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) were mixed evenly in a volume ratio of 3:7, 1 mol / L LiPF6 lithium salt was added and dissolved in the organic solvent, and stirred evenly to obtain an electrolyte.

[0209] S5. Assembly

[0212] Among them, the test method is as follows:

[0213] The battery cell is connected to a charger and discharger and is continuously cycled at a current of 1C charging and 0.5C discharging. At the same time, temperature sensors are attached to the aluminum shells at the upper, middle and lower parts of the battery cell to sense and record temperature changes. The highest temperature is used as the standard for calculating the consistency of the battery cell (generally the temperature is highest at the end of charging). The energy that can be released by the battery cell in each cycle is taken as the capacity of the battery cell at this time, so as to calculate the capacity retention rate of the battery cell after 200cls of cycling.
