In at least a portion of the first pole piece located in the first bent section and / or the second bent section, a first solid electrolyte layer is provided in at least a portion of the surface of the first active material layer away from the first current collector.
[0070] In the above-mentioned battery cell, the first solid electrolyte layer can provide physical support for the first bending section and / or the second bending section, thereby improving the structural stability of the corners of the battery cell. The first solid electrolyte layer can also promote the desolvation of lithium ions through dielectric action, thereby providing ion channels at the corners of the battery cell, reducing the risk of interface problems such as lithium deposition or electrolyte infiltration and bridge breaking due to insufficient electrolyte at the corners of the battery cell, thereby improving the cycle performance of the battery cell.
[0071] The embodiments of the present application are further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0072] See also Figure 1 , an embodiment of the present application provides a battery cell 100. The battery cell 100 includes an electrode assembly 10, a first pole tab 20, and a second pole tab 30. The electrode assembly 10 is used to convert chemical energy into electrical energy. The polarity of the first pole tab 20 is opposite to the polarity of the second pole tab 30.

One end of the second pole tab 30 is connected to the electrode assembly 10, and the other end of the second pole tab 30 is configured to be electrically connected to an external circuit.
[0073] The thickness direction of the electrode assembly 10 is the first direction X, the width direction of the electrode assembly 10 is the second direction Y, and the length direction of the electrode assembly 10 is the third direction Z. The first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.
[0074] The electrode assembly 10 includes a first electrode sheet 11 , a separator 12 , and a second electrode sheet 13 which are stacked and wound. The first electrode tab 20 is connected to the first electrode sheet 11 , and the second electrode tab 30 is connected to the second electrode sheet 13 .
[0075] The electrode assembly 10 includes a first straight section 10A, a first bent section 10B, a second straight section 10C, and a second bent section 10D connected in sequence.

The first bent section 10B and the second bent section 10D are arranged opposite to each other along the second direction Y. The first bent section 10B and the second bent section 10D are located at the corners of the battery cell 100.
[0076] It should be noted that the test reference standard used for the specific position of the boundary between the straight section and the bent section is: ISO15708:2002 "Non-destructive testing-Radiation methods-Computed tomography". The specific test method is: place the battery cell on the stage of an X-ray computed tomography scanner after discharging, and measure the angle of the outer contour of the electrode assembly every 1 mm near the junction of the straight section and the bent section of the battery cell, along the direction from the straight section to the bent section, using an X-ray computed tomography scanner. When the angle deviation between the outer contour of the electrode assembly and the width direction of the electrode assembly is equal to 1°, it is defined as the boundary between the straight section and the bent section; the extension line passing through the boundary between the straight section and the bent section and extending along the length direction of the electrode assembly is defined as the boundary between the straight section and the bent section.

Along the thickness direction of the first current collector 111, the first active material layer 112 is disposed on at least one side surface of the first current collector 111. In at least a portion of the first pole piece 11 located in the first bending section 10B and / or the second bending section 10D, at least a portion of the surface of the first active material layer 112 away from the first current collector 111 is provided with the first solid electrolyte layer 113.
[0078] The first solid electrolyte layer 113 can provide physical support for the first bending segment 10B and / or the second bending segment 10D, thereby improving the structural stability of the corners of the battery cell 100. The first solid electrolyte layer 113 can also promote the desolvation of lithium ions through dielectric action, thereby providing ion channels at the corners of the battery cell 100, reducing the risk of interface problems such as lithium deposition or electrolyte infiltration and bridge breakage at the corners of the battery cell 100 due to insufficient electrolyte, thereby improving the cycle performance of the battery cell 100.

When A 1 When the value is too small (less than 60%), it is easy for other regions of the first active material layer 112 to produce lithium deposition or electrolyte infiltration and bridge breakage due to insufficient electrolyte, resulting in reduced cycle performance of the battery cell 100. 1When the value is too large (less than 100%), the first solid electrolyte layer 113 may easily protrude from the first active material layer 112, resulting in space waste, which may reduce the energy density of the battery cell 100. 1 ≤100%, so as to reduce the risk of interface problems such as lithium deposition or electrolyte infiltration and bridge breaking due to insufficient electrolyte at the corners of the battery cell 100, improve the cycle performance of the battery cell 100, and help reduce the space waste caused by the first solid electrolyte layer 113 protruding from the first active material layer 112, thereby improving the energy density of the battery cell 100.

[0081] The length of the first solid electrolyte layer 113 and the length of the first active material layer 112 are obtained by disassembling the electrode assembly 10, taking out the first pole piece 11, flattening the first pole piece 11, and then measuring with a ruler.

[0083] Specifically, along the third direction Z, when the infiltration difficulty of the electrolyte at the top of the corner of the battery cell 100 is higher than the infiltration difficulty of the electrolyte at the bottom of the corner of the battery cell 100 (such as when the top of the battery cell 100 faces upward and the bottom of the battery cell 100 faces downward), D 1 <D 2 , so as to reduce the risk of interface problems such as lithium deposition or electrolyte infiltration and bridge breakage due to insufficient electrolyte at the top of the corner of the battery cell 100, and improve the cycle performance of the battery cell 100. Along the third direction Z, when the infiltration difficulty of the electrolyte at the bottom of the corner of the battery cell 100 is higher than the infiltration difficulty of the electrolyte at the top of the corner of the battery cell 100 (such as when the bottom of the battery cell 100 faces upward and the top of the battery cell 100 faces downward), D 1 >D2 , so as to reduce the risk of interface problems such as lithium deposition or electrolyte infiltration and bridge breakage due to insufficient electrolyte at the bottom of the corner of the battery cell 100, and improve the cycle performance of the battery cell 100.

[0128] The specific implementation of the battery cell 100 in the embodiment and the comparative example is described below.
[0129] Battery cycle test:
[0130] At a test temperature of 25°C, the secondary battery 200 was left standing for 30 minutes, and step-charged according to the following charging steps: (a) 2.0C constant current charging to 4.23V, constant voltage charging to 1.8C; (b) 1.8C constant current charging to 4.3V, constant voltage charging to 1.4C; (c) 1.4C constant current charging to 4.4V, constant voltage charging to 1.0C; (d) 1.0C constant current charging to 4.5V, constant voltage charging to 0.05C; After standing for 10 minutes, discharge according to the following steps: 1C DC discharge to 3V. The above charging and discharging process is one cycle, which is repeated 1000 cycles. 20 cells were tested in each group of comparative examples and embodiments.
[0131] (1) Using a PPG thickness tester, the initial cell thickness and the cell thickness after 1000 cycles of each cell were tested and the thickness expansion rate was calculated;
[0132] Thickness expansion rate of each battery cell = [(battery cell thickness after 1000 cycles - initial battery cell thickness) / initial battery cell thickness] × 100%;
[0133] The thickness expansion rate in each group of comparative examples or embodiments is the average thickness expansion rate of 20 battery cells in each group.
[0134] (2) Calculate the capacity retention rate of the battery cell;
[0135] The capacity retention rate of each battery cell = discharge capacity after 1000 cycles / initial discharge capacity × 100%.
[0136] The capacity retention rate in each group of comparative examples or embodiments is the average value of the capacity retention rates of 20 cells in each group.
[0137] (3) Disassemble the battery cell and observe whether there is grayish white lithium deposition on the electrode piece at the corner of the battery cell. Record the number of lithium deposition on the corner of the negative electrode piece in each group of 20 battery cells of the comparative example or the embodiment as X. 1 , then the lithium deposition rate of the negative electrode corner in each comparative example or embodiment = X 1 / 20.
[0138] (4) Calculate the volume energy density of the battery cell = platform voltage × first cycle discharge capacity / (initial length of the battery cell × initial width of the battery cell × initial thickness of the battery cell).
[0139] (5) Perform a high voltage insulation test (Hipot test) on the battery cell and calculate the test pass rate. The Hipot test (High Potential test) refers to an insulation resistance test. The test method is to detect the leakage current generated by the electrode assembly 10 under the test voltage output by the high voltage machine, and then calculate the resistance value = test voltage / leakage current. The calculated resistance value is compared with the set judgment resistance. If the detected resistance value is greater than or equal to the preset value, the product under test is judged to have passed the test (OK); if the detected resistance value is less than the preset value, the test voltage is instantly cut off and the product under test is judged to have failed the test (NG). The preset value of the judgment resistance in this test is 5mΩ. When the resistance value is lower than 5mΩ, it means that it can be turned on but the resistance value is too small, there is a short circuit point, and it is judged to be NG; when the resistance value is greater than or equal to 5mΩ, it is judged to be OK. 20 battery cells are taken for testing in each group of embodiments, and the number of battery cells that pass the test is X. 2 The test pass rate is X 2 / 100.

When preparing a double-sided coated negative electrode sheet, repeat the above steps on the other surface of the negative electrode sheet to obtain a negative electrode sheet with a negative electrode active material layer coated on both sides. The coated electrode sheet is then subjected to a cold pressing process. The thickness of the single-sided negative electrode active material layer of the straight section after cold pressing is 105 μm. A portion of the negative electrode active material layer is etched away by laser to expose the negative electrode current collector below the negative electrode active material layer. The negative electrode tab is welded on the exposed negative electrode current collector. The negative electrode tab is made of copper. (2) Preparation of the positive electrode sheet (corresponding to the second electrode sheet): Provide an aluminum foil with a thickness of 8 μm as the positive electrode current collector; paste foam glue at the position where the positive electrode tab needs to be welded on the positive electrode current collector;2 ), conductive carbon black (Super P), and polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) are mixed in a weight ratio of 97.5:1.0:1.5, and N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) is added as a solvent to prepare a slurry with a solid content of 75wt%, and stirred evenly. The slurry is evenly coated on one surface of the aluminum foil, and then dried at 90°C to obtain a positive electrode sheet coated with a positive electrode active material on one side. When preparing a double-sided coated positive electrode sheet, repeat the above coating steps on the other surface of the aluminum foil. The coated electrode sheet is then subjected to a cold pressing process. The thickness of the single-sided positive electrode active material layer after cold pressing is 95μm. The foam glue is heated to fall off to reveal the positive electrode collector covered with the foam glue, and the positive electrode ear is welded on the exposed positive electrode collector. The material of the positive electrode ear is aluminum.
[0143] (3) Preparation of electrolyte: In a dry argon atmosphere, ethylene carbonate (EC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC) and diethyl carbonate (DEC) were first mixed at a mass ratio of EC:EMC:DEC = 30:50:20 to form a basic organic solvent. Then, lithium salt lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF4) was added to the basic organic solvent. 6 ) are dissolved and mixed evenly to obtain an electrolyte with a lithium salt concentration of 1.15 mol / L.

After the winding, the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet in the electrode assembly are 24 layers each, of which the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet located in the first bending section and the second bending section are 12 layers each. The first solid electrolyte layer is arranged on the surface of the negative electrode active material layer located in the first bending section away from the negative electrode current collector and the number of layers of the negative electrode sheet covered by the first solid electrolyte layer is 1.
[0146] (6) Electrode assembly: Place the aluminum-plastic film with holes punched and formed in an assembly fixture, with the holes facing upward, place the electrode assembly in the holes, and apply external force to press it. Then, cover the electrode assembly with another aluminum-plastic film with holes punched and formed, with the holes facing downward, and heat-seal the four sides of the two aluminum-plastic films by hot pressing to obtain an assembled electrode assembly.
[0147] (7) Liquid injection packaging: The assembled electrode assembly is injected with electrolyte, and the battery cell is obtained through processes such as vacuum packaging, static standing, hot pressing, and shaping.

[0149] Examples 2 to 20: Except for the parameters mentioned in Table 1, all other parameters are the same as those in Example 1, wherein the coating method of the fourth solid electrolyte layer in the second electrode piece is similar to the coating method of the first solid electrolyte layer in the first electrode piece.
[0150] Examples 21 to 32: Except for the parameters mentioned in Table 2, all other parameters are the same as those in Example 20.
[0151] Example 33 to Example 50: Except for the parameters involved in Table 3, all other parameters are the same as those in Example 20.

[0154]
[0155]
[0156] It can be seen from Comparative Example 1 and Examples 1 to 10 that, in at least a portion of the first pole piece located in the first bending section and / or the second bending section, a first solid electrolyte layer is provided in at least a portion of the surface of the first active material layer away from the first current collector, which can improve the cycle performance of the battery cell, and as the number of layers of the first solid electrolyte layer increases, the improvement effect becomes better.
[0157] It can be seen from Comparative Example 1 and Examples 11 to 15 that in at least part of the second pole piece located in the first bending section and / or the second bending section, at least part of the surface of the second active material layer away from the second current collector is provided with a fourth solid electrolyte layer, which can further improve the cycle performance of the battery cell, and as the number of layers of the fourth solid electrolyte layer increases, the improvement effect is better. It can be seen from Examples 1 to 5 and Examples 11 to 15 that the improvement effect of directly setting the first solid electrolyte layer on the negative pole piece is better than the improvement effect of setting the first solid electrolyte layer on the positive pole piece.
[0158] It can be seen from Examples 16 to 20 that the improvement effect is better when solid electrolyte layers are provided on both the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, and the improvement effect is better as the number of solid electrolyte layers increases.

[0160]
[0161] It can be seen from Examples 20 to 23 that by limiting 60%≤A 1≤100%, can improve the cycle performance of the battery. It should be noted that when A 1 When the A is greater than 100%, the first solid electrolyte layer is likely to protrude from the first active material layer, resulting in space waste and a reduction in the energy density of the battery cell. Therefore, A is not provided. 1 >100% embodiment.
[0162] It can be seen from Examples 20, 24 to 26 that by limiting 50%≤B 1 ≤100%, can improve the cycle performance of the battery. It should be noted that when B 1 When the ratio is greater than 100%, the first solid electrolyte layer is likely to protrude from the first active material layer, resulting in space waste and a decrease in the energy density of the battery cell. Therefore, B is not provided. 1 >100% embodiment.
[0163] It can be seen from Examples 20, 27 to 32 that by limiting the concentration of 0.5 mg / cm 2 ≤W 1 ≤5mg / cm 2 , can improve the cycle performance of the battery. 1 Less than 0.5mg / cm 2 When W 1 More than 5mg / cm 2 When the coating weight of the first solid electrolyte layer is large and the thickness of the first solid electrolyte layer is large, the volume energy density loss of the battery cell is large. At the same time, the transmission distance of lithium ions is increased due to the large thickness of the first solid electrolyte layer, which increases the lithium deposition rate at the corner of the negative electrode. Therefore, in order to take into account the improvement of the cycle performance of the battery cell, reduce the loss of the volume energy density of the battery cell and reduce the lithium deposition rate at the corner of the negative electrode, W 1 Set to 0.5mg / cm 2 ≤W 1 ≤5mg / cm 2 On this basis, 1 mg / cm 2 ≤W 1 ≤3mg / cm 2 .
[0164] Table 3
[0165]
[0166] It can be seen from Example 20 and Example 33 to Example 38 that when L 1When L is less than 0.5 mm, the effect on the cycle capacity retention rate is small, and because the winding radius of the inner circle is small, the first solid electrolyte layer located in the inner circle is easier to fall off. 1 When L is too small, the probability of internal short circuit of the electrode assembly increases due to the powder loss of the first solid electrolyte layer, and the pass rate of the high-voltage insulation test is low. 1 When L is greater than 2 mm, the cycle capacity retention rate and high-voltage insulation test pass rate are higher; however, the thickness of the overlapping area between the second solid electrolyte layer and the first active material layer will increase. 1 When the L is larger, the volume energy density of the battery cell will decrease. Therefore, in order to take into account a higher cycle capacity retention rate, a high voltage insulation test pass rate and a higher volume energy density, the limit is 0.5mm≤L 1 ≤2mm, further, preferably 1mm≤L 1 ≤1.5mm. It can be seen from Examples 20 and 39 to 44 that when L 2 When L is less than 0.5 mm, the effect on the cycle capacity retention rate is small, and because the winding radius of the inner circle is small, the first solid electrolyte layer located in the inner circle is easier to fall off. 2 When L is too small, the probability of internal short circuit of the electrode assembly increases due to the powder loss of the first solid electrolyte layer, and the pass rate of the high-voltage insulation test is low. 2 When L is greater than 2 mm, the cycle capacity retention rate and the high-voltage insulation test pass rate are higher; however, the thickness of the overlapping area between the third solid electrolyte layer and the first active material layer will increase. 2 When the L is larger, the volume energy density of the battery cell will decrease. Therefore, in order to take into account a higher cycle capacity retention rate, a high voltage insulation test pass rate and a higher volume energy density, the limit is 0.5mm≤L 2 ≤2mm, further, preferably 1mm≤L 2 ≤1.5mm. It can be seen from Examples 45 to 50 that when L 1 and L 2 When the diameters of L and L are both within the range of 0.5 mm to 2 mm, a higher cycle capacity retention rate, a high voltage insulation test pass rate and a higher volume energy density can be obtained. 1 and L 2 Between 1mm and 1.5mm.

This is because at the corner of the battery cell, the positive electrode sheet covers the negative electrode sheet. On the side of the positive electrode sheet facing the winding center, the winding radius of the positive electrode sheet is larger than that of the negative electrode sheet. The corresponding CB value (the ratio of the negative electrode capacity of the battery cell to the positive electrode capacity) of the negative electrode sheet and the positive electrode sheet is insufficient, resulting in a greater risk of interface problems such as lithium deposition. By limiting C 1 >C 2 and / or C 1 ′>C 2 ', so that the fourth solid electrolyte layer can provide the negative electrode plate with sufficient ion channels for receiving lithium ions on the side facing the winding center of the electrode assembly, thereby reducing the risk of interface problems such as lithium plating and improving the cycle performance of the battery cell.

This is because at the corner of the battery cell, the positive electrode sheet covers the negative electrode sheet. On the side of the positive electrode sheet facing the winding center, the winding radius of the positive electrode sheet is larger than that of the negative electrode sheet. The corresponding CB value (the ratio of the negative electrode capacity of the battery cell to the positive electrode capacity) of the negative electrode sheet and the positive electrode sheet is insufficient, resulting in a greater risk of interface problems such as lithium deposition.

[0174] It can be seen from Example 20 and Example 66 to Example 70 that in the same layer of negative electrode sheets located in the first bending section, when W 6 >W 5 Compared with W 5 =W 6 and W 6 <W 5 In the case of W, the improvement of cycle capacity retention is more significant; in the same layer of negative electrode sheet located in the second bending section, when W 6 ′>W 5 ′, compared with W 5 ′=W 6 ′ and W 6 ′<W 5', the improvement in cycle capacity retention is more significant.
