Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of energy storage technology, and in particular to a secondary battery and electrical equipment. Background Art

[0002] With the development of various electronic devices, secondary batteries have become an indispensable part of daily life. For example, commonly used mobile phones, tablets, laptops and digital cameras all require secondary batteries to provide power for normal operation. However, secondary batteries are inevitably dropped or vibrated during daily use, and the risk of secondary battery failure is high. Summary of the invention

[0003] For the secondary battery in the prior art, the inventor found that part of the reason for the failure of the secondary battery is that the electrode assembly is generally fixed in the receiving cavity by an adhesive, and the drop energy or vibration energy will be transmitted to the electrode assembly through the adhesive. In this way, when the secondary battery is dropped or vibrated with a large intensity, the electrode assembly is easily torn under the action of the drop energy or vibration energy, thereby causing the secondary battery to fail.

[0004] In view of the above situation, it is necessary to provide a secondary battery that can reduce the possibility of tearing of the electrode assembly, thereby facilitating the improvement of the service life of the secondary battery.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present application provides a secondary battery, comprising a housing, an electrode assembly and an adhesive. The housing has a receiving cavity, and the electrode assembly is arranged in the receiving cavity. Along a first direction, the adhesive is arranged between the housing and the electrode assembly, and the first direction is the thickness direction of the electrode assembly. The adhesive comprises a first adhesive layer bonded to the housing, a second adhesive layer bonded to the electrode assembly, and a base layer arranged between the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer. Along a direction perpendicular to the first direction, the tear strength of the electrode assembly is τ 1 The interface with the smallest peel strength among the first adhesive layer and the housing, the second adhesive layer and the electrode assembly, the first adhesive layer and the base layer, and the second adhesive layer and the base layer is the first interface, and the peel strength of the first interface is τ 2 , 1N / cm 2 <τ 2 ≤τ 1 .

[0006] Set 1N / cm 2 <τ 2 The electrode assembly and the housing can be bonded and fixed by an adhesive, which is helpful to reduce the possibility of the electrode assembly impacting the housing when the secondary battery falls or vibrates. In addition, τ 2 ≤τ 1When the drop intensity or vibration intensity is large, the adhesive can be peeled off from the outer shell or the electrode assembly before the electrode assembly is torn, or the first adhesive layer or the second adhesive layer can be peeled off from the base layer first, thereby reducing the risk of the drop energy or vibration energy being transmitted to the electrode assembly through the adhesive and causing the electrode assembly to be torn, which is beneficial to increasing the service life of the secondary battery.

[0007] In one or more of the above embodiments, the bonding area between the second bonding layer and the electrode assembly is greater than or equal to the bonding area of ​​the first interface; or, the bonding areas between the first bonding layer and the outer shell, the first bonding layer and the base layer, the second bonding layer and the base layer, and the second bonding layer and the electrode assembly are all equal.

[0008] In one or more of the above embodiments, the adhesive is bonded to the outermost electrode of the electrode assembly.

Set 0.35≤S 2 / S 1 ≤1, which can ensure that the bonding area between the adhesive and the housing and the electrode assembly is not too small, which is beneficial to improve τ 2 value, thereby further reducing the possibility of the electrode assembly impacting the outer casing when the secondary battery is dropped or vibrated.

[0009] In one or more of the above embodiments, the adhesive is bonded to the outermost electrode sheet of the electrode assembly. Along the direction perpendicular to the first direction, the minimum distance between the edge of the adhesive and the edge of the outermost electrode sheet is d, 10 mm ≤ d. Setting 10 mm ≤ d can make the edge of the adhesive farther away from the edge of the outermost electrode sheet and the outer shell, so that the adhesive is not easy to be peeled off from the outermost electrode sheet and the outer shell, which is conducive to further reducing the possibility of the electrode assembly impacting the outer shell.

[0010] In one or more of the above embodiments, the adhesive is bonded to the outermost electrode sheet of the electrode assembly. Along the first direction, the center of the circumscribed circle of the adhesive projection coincides with the center of the circumscribed circle of the outermost electrode sheet projection. In this case, along different directions perpendicular to the first direction, the distance between the edge of the adhesive and the edge of the outermost electrode sheet and the outer shell is relatively uniform, which can improve the peel strength of the adhesive and the outermost electrode sheet and the outer shell along different directions perpendicular to the first direction, which is conducive to improving τ 2 value, thereby helping to further reduce the possibility of the electrode assembly impacting the casing.

[0011] In one or more of the above embodiments, the materials of the first adhesive layer and / or the second adhesive layer independently include a base resin, a tackifying resin and a polyether polyol. Based on the total mass of the first adhesive layer and / or the second adhesive layer, the mass percentage of the base resin is 50% to 80%, the mass percentage of the tackifying resin is 20% to 45%, and the mass percentage of the polyether polyol is 0% to 6%. The materials of the first adhesive layer and / or the second adhesive layer include the above materials, and the mass percentage of the above materials in the first adhesive layer and / or the second adhesive layer is regulated within the above range, so that the peel strength between the first adhesive layer and the shell and the base layer, and / or the second adhesive layer and the electrode assembly and the base layer can be adjusted, so as to make it easier to make 1N / cm 2 <τ 2 ≤τ 1 .

[0012] In one or more of the above embodiments, along the first direction, the thickness of the first adhesive layer is D 1 , 3μm≤D 1 ≤10μm; and / or, the thickness of the second adhesive layer is D 2 , 3μm≤D 2 ≤10μm. Set 3μm≤D 1 and / or 3μm≤D 2 , which can make the first adhesive layer and / or the second adhesive layer not too thin, which is beneficial to improve τ 2 The value of D is helpful to reduce the possibility of the electrode assembly impacting the shell. 1 ≤10μm and / or D 2 ≤10 μm, so that the first adhesive layer and / or the second adhesive layer will not be too thick, which is beneficial to improving the energy density of the secondary battery.

[0013] In one or more of the above embodiments, τ 1 -τ 2 ≤3N / cm 2 . Set τ 1 -τ 2 ≤3N / cm 2 , under the premise that the adhesive is torn before the electrode assembly and peeled off from the housing or electrode assembly, τ 2 It is not too small, which helps to reduce the possibility of the electrode assembly impacting the shell.

[0014] In one or more of the above embodiments, the minimum value of the peel strength between the first adhesive layer and the shell, the first adhesive layer and the base layer, and the second adhesive layer and the base layer is less than the peel strength between the second adhesive layer and the electrode assembly. In this case, when the drop strength or vibration strength is large, the adhesive can be peeled off from the shell first, or the first adhesive layer or the second adhesive layer can be peeled off from the base layer first, which is beneficial to reduce the wear of the adhesive on the electrode assembly after peeling, thereby further improving the service life of the secondary battery.

[0015] In one or more of the above embodiments, 4N / cm 2 <τ 2 . Set to 4N / cm 2 <τ 2 , when the secondary battery is dropped or vibrated, it is helpful to further reduce the possibility of the electrode assembly impacting the outer casing.

In this case, when the drop intensity or vibration intensity is large, the adhesive can be peeled off from the housing or the electrode assembly first, and the internal structure of the adhesive can maintain good integrity, which is conducive to reducing the possibility of the adhesive being easily damaged and failing during the process of exerting adhesive friction.

[0017] In one or more of the above embodiments, the electrode assembly includes a negative electrode sheet, a positive electrode sheet and a separator, the separator separates the negative electrode sheet from the positive electrode sheet; the negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material layer, and the negative electrode active material layer is arranged on two opposite sides of the negative electrode current collector along the thickness direction. The positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode active material layer, and the positive electrode active material layer is arranged on two opposite sides of the positive electrode current collector along the thickness direction.

[0043] See also Figure 3The electrode assembly 20 is disposed in the receiving cavity 101. The electrode assembly 20 includes a negative electrode sheet 21, a positive electrode sheet 22 and a separator 23, and the separator 23 separates the negative electrode sheet 21 from the positive electrode sheet 22.

[0044] In some embodiments, the negative electrode sheet 21 and the positive electrode sheet 22 are respectively bonded to the separator 23 .

[0045] In some embodiments, see Figure 3 The electrode assembly 20 is a stacked structure, wherein a plurality of negative electrode sheets 21 and a plurality of positive electrode sheets 22 are alternately stacked, and a separator 23 is disposed between any adjacent negative electrode sheets 21 and positive electrode sheets 22 .

[0046] In some other embodiments, the electrode assembly 20 is a winding structure, in which a single negative electrode sheet 21 and a single positive electrode sheet 22 are stacked and wound, and the separator 23 is disposed between the negative electrode sheet 21 and the positive electrode sheet 22 .

[0047] In some embodiments, the negative electrode plate 21 includes a negative electrode current collector 211 and a negative electrode active material layer 212, and the negative electrode active material layer 212 is disposed on two opposite sides of the negative electrode current collector 211 along the thickness direction. The positive electrode plate 22 includes a positive electrode current collector 221 and a positive electrode active material layer 222, and the positive electrode active material layer 222 is disposed on two opposite sides of the positive electrode current collector 221 along the thickness direction.

[0048] In some embodiments, when the electrode assembly 20 is a stacked structure, if the negative electrode sheet 21 or the positive electrode sheet 22 is the outermost sheet of the electrode assembly 20 , the side of the current collector facing away from the interior of the electrode assembly 20 may not be provided with an active material layer.

[0049] In some embodiments, the negative electrode current collector 211 is made of copper foil, and the positive electrode current collector 221 is made of aluminum foil.

[0051] In some embodiments, the diaphragm 23 is an insulating film material such as a polyethylene film, a polypropylene film, a polyester film, or a polyimide film.

[0052] See also Figure 3, along the first direction X, the adhesive 30 is arranged between the housing 10 and the electrode assembly 20. The adhesive 30 includes a base layer 31, a first adhesive layer 32 and a second adhesive layer 33, and the base layer 31 is arranged between the first adhesive layer 32 and the second adhesive layer 33. Among them, the first adhesive layer 32 is bonded to the housing 10, and the second adhesive layer 33 is bonded to the electrode assembly 20. In some embodiments, the adhesive 30 is bonded to the second housing 12 and the outermost electrode sheet of the electrode assembly 20. Among them, the first adhesive layer 32 is bonded to the second housing 12, and the second adhesive layer 33 is bonded to the outermost electrode sheet of the electrode assembly 20. It should be understood that when the electrode assembly 20 is a stacked structure, the so-called outermost electrode sheet is the electrode sheet closest to the adhesive 30 among the several electrode sheets of the electrode assembly 20 along the thickness direction of the electrode assembly 20. When the electrode assembly 20 is a wound structure, the outermost electrode sheet is a flat area of ​​the electrode sheet of the outermost winding that is located between the bending areas and close to the adhesive 30 .

[0053] In the direction perpendicular to the first direction X, the tear strength of the electrode assembly 20 is τ 1 The interface with the smallest peeling strength among the first adhesive layer 32 and the housing 10, the second adhesive layer 33 and the electrode assembly 20, the first adhesive layer 32 and the base layer 31, and the second adhesive layer 33 and the base layer 31 is the first interface, and the peeling strength of the first interface is τ 2 , 1N / cm 2 <τ 2 ≤τ 1 The direction perpendicular to the first direction X includes a second direction Y and a third direction Z, and the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other. In some embodiments, the second direction Y may be the width direction of the electrode assembly 20, and the third direction Z may be the length direction of the electrode assembly 20.

[0054] The so-called τ 1 It refers to the shear stress required to completely tear the electrode assembly 20 under the action of a load perpendicular to the first direction X. The tearing of the electrode assembly 20 includes, but is not limited to, the peeling of the negative electrode active material layer 212 and the separator 23, the peeling of the negative electrode active material layer 212 and the negative electrode current collector 211, the peeling of the positive electrode active material layer 222 and the separator 23, the peeling of the positive electrode active material layer 222 and the positive electrode current collector 221, the tearing of the separator 23 itself, the tearing of the negative electrode active material layer 212 or the negative electrode current collector 211 itself, and the tearing of the positive electrode active material layer 222 or the positive electrode current collector 221 itself.

[0055] The so-called τ 2It refers to the shear stress required to completely peel off the first adhesive layer 32 and the housing 10, the second adhesive layer 33 and the electrode assembly 20, the first adhesive layer 32 and the base layer 31, or the second adhesive layer 33 and the base layer 31 under the load perpendicular to the first direction X. The load perpendicular to the first direction X may be caused by the secondary battery 100 falling or vibrating.

[0056] The above setting is 1N / cm 2 <τ 2 The electrode assembly 20 and the housing 10 can be bonded and fixed by the adhesive 30, which is helpful to reduce the possibility of the electrode assembly 20 impacting the housing 10 when the secondary battery 100 falls or vibrates. 2 ≤τ 1 When the drop strength or vibration strength is large, the adhesive 30 can be peeled off from the housing 10 or the electrode assembly 20 before the electrode assembly 20 is torn, or the first adhesive layer 32 or the second adhesive layer 33 can be peeled off from the base layer 31 first, thereby reducing the risk of the electrode assembly 20 being torn due to the drop energy or vibration energy being transmitted to the electrode assembly 20 through the adhesive 30, thereby facilitating the improvement of the service life of the secondary battery 100. It should be understood that by reducing the possibility of the electrode assembly 20 impacting the housing 10, when the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 are separately arranged and connected, it is conducive to reducing the risk of the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 being separated and causing the secondary battery 100 to fail due to leakage.

[0057] It should be understood that when the drop intensity or vibration intensity is large, after the adhesive 30 is peeled off from the housing 10 or the electrode assembly 20, the adhesive 30 can reduce the drop energy or vibration energy through adhesive friction.

[0058] In some embodiments, the interface with the smallest bonding area among the first bonding layer 32 and the housing 10, the second bonding layer 33 and the electrode assembly 20, the first bonding layer 32 and the base layer 31, and the second bonding layer 33 and the base layer 31 is the first interface as described above. That is, the peel strength and bonding area of ​​the first interface are both the smallest.

[0059] In some embodiments, the bonding area between the second bonding layer 33 and the electrode assembly 20 is greater than the bonding area of ​​the first interface.

[0060] In some embodiments, the bonding area between the second bonding layer 33 and the electrode assembly 20 is equal to the bonding area of ​​the first interface. Without affecting the purpose of the invention of the present application, taking into account the reasons such as the precision in production and processing, when there is a 5% error between the bonding area between the second bonding layer 33 and the electrode assembly 20 and the bonding area of ​​the first interface, it can also be considered that the bonding area between the second bonding layer 33 and the electrode assembly 20 is equal to the bonding area of ​​the first interface.

[0061] In some embodiments, the bonding areas between the first adhesive layer 32 and the housing 10, the first adhesive layer 32 and the base layer 31, the second adhesive layer 33 and the base layer 31, and the second adhesive layer 33 and the electrode assembly 20 are all equal. Without affecting the purpose of the invention of the present application, taking into account the precision in production and processing, when there is a 10% error between the minimum and maximum values ​​of the bonding areas between the first adhesive layer 32 and the housing 10, the first adhesive layer 32 and the base layer 31, the second adhesive layer 33 and the base layer 31, and the second adhesive layer 33 and the electrode assembly 20, it can also be considered that the bonding areas between the first adhesive layer 32 and the housing 10, the first adhesive layer 32 and the base layer 31, the second adhesive layer 33 and the base layer 31, and the second adhesive layer 33 and the electrode assembly 20 are all equal.

[0062] In some embodiments, along the thickness direction of the adhesive member 30, the projections of the base layer 31, the first adhesive layer 32, and the second adhesive layer 33 all overlap. The overlap referred to herein means that among the projections of the base layer 31, the first adhesive layer 32, and the second adhesive layer 33, the projection of the larger one is allowed to have a 10% portion that does not overlap with the projection of the smallest one. The thickness direction of the adhesive member 30 may be parallel to the first direction X.

[0063] In some embodiments, 4N / cm 2 <τ 2 . Set to 4N / cm 2 <τ 2 This helps to further reduce the possibility of the electrode assembly 20 impacting the outer shell 10 when the secondary battery 100 falls or vibrates.

[0064] In some embodiments, τ 1 -τ 2 ≤3N / cm 2 . Set τ 1 -τ 2 ≤3N / cm 2 , under the premise that the adhesive 30 is torn before the electrode assembly 20 and is peeled off from the housing 10 or the electrode assembly 20, τ 2 It is not too small, which helps to reduce the possibility of the electrode assembly 20 impacting the housing 10.

[0065] In some embodiments, the minimum value of the peel strength between the first adhesive layer 32 and the housing 10, the first adhesive layer 32 and the base layer 31, and the second adhesive layer 33 and the base layer 31 is less than the peel strength between the second adhesive layer 33 and the electrode assembly 20. In this case, when the drop strength or vibration strength is large, the adhesive 30 can be peeled off from the housing 10 first, or the first adhesive layer 32 or the second adhesive layer 33 can be peeled off from the base layer 31 first, which is beneficial to reduce the wear of the adhesive 30 on the electrode assembly 20 after peeling, thereby further improving the service life of the secondary battery 100.

[0066] In some embodiments, the maximum value of the peel strength between the first adhesive layer 32 and the housing 10, and the second adhesive layer 33 and the electrode assembly 20 is less than the minimum value of the peel strength between the first adhesive layer 32 and the base layer 31, and the second adhesive layer 33 and the base layer 31. In this case, when the drop strength or vibration strength is large, the adhesive 30 can be peeled off from the housing 10 or the electrode assembly 20 first, and the internal structure of the adhesive 30 can maintain good integrity, which is conducive to reducing the possibility of the adhesive 30 being vulnerable to damage and failure during the process of exerting the adhesive friction effect. In some embodiments, the bonding area between the second adhesive layer 33 and the electrode assembly 20 is larger than the bonding area between the first adhesive layer 32 and the housing 10, which can facilitate the peel strength between the second adhesive layer 33 and the electrode assembly 20 to be large, so that when the drop strength or vibration strength is large, it is conducive to the adhesive 30 to be peeled off from the housing 10 first.

[0067] In some embodiments, the thickness of the adhesive member 30 is 11 μm to 30 μm. For example, the thickness of the adhesive member 30 is 11 μm, 13 μm, 17 μm, 20 μm, 25 μm, 30 μm, or any value between the listed endpoints.

[0068] In some embodiments, the thickness of the base layer 31 is 5 μm to 10 μm along the first direction X. For example, the thickness of the base layer 31 is 5 μm, 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm, 10 μm, or any value between the listed endpoints.

[0069] In some embodiments, along the first direction X, the thickness of the first adhesive layer 32 is D 1 , 3μm≤D 1 ≤10μm. For example, D 1 3μm, 4μm, 5μm, 7μm, 10μm or any value between the listed endpoints. Set 3μm≤D 1 , which can make the first adhesive layer 32 not too thin, which is beneficial to improve τ 2 The value of D is thus helpful to reduce the possibility of the electrode assembly 20 impacting the housing 10. 1≤10 μm, so that the first adhesive layer 32 is not too thick, which is beneficial to improving the energy density of the secondary battery 100 .

[0070] In some embodiments, along the first direction X, the thickness of the second adhesive layer 33 is D 2 , 3μm≤D 2 ≤10μm.

[0071] In some embodiments, the material of the first adhesive layer 32 includes a base resin, a tackifying resin and a polyether polyol. Based on the total mass of the first adhesive layer 32, the mass percentage of the base resin is 50% to 80%, the mass percentage of the tackifying resin is 20% to 45%, and the mass percentage of the polyether polyol is 0% to 6%. The material of the first adhesive layer 32 includes the above materials, and the mass percentage of the above materials in the first adhesive layer 32 is regulated within the above range, so that the peel strength between the first adhesive layer 32 and the housing 10 and the base layer 31 can be adjusted, so that it is easier to make 1N / cm 2 <τ 2 ≤τ 1 .

[0072] In some embodiments, the material of the second adhesive layer 33 includes a base resin, a tackifying resin and a polyether polyol. Based on the total mass of the second adhesive layer 33, the mass percentage of the base resin is 50% to 80%, the mass percentage of the tackifying resin is 20% to 45%, and the mass percentage of the polyether polyol is 0% to 6%.

[0073] In some embodiments, the base resin includes a SIS block copolymer (i.e., a triblock copolymer composed of polystyrene-polyisoprene-polystyrene), wherein the block ratio of polystyrene and polyisoprene can be appropriately adjusted according to the required rigidity and mechanical strength of the first adhesive layer 32 and the second adhesive layer 33. For example, the block ratio of polystyrene can be increased, thereby improving the rigidity and mechanical strength of the first adhesive layer 32 and the second adhesive layer 33. The tackifying resin includes hydrogenated resins, which can increase the mass percentage of the tackifying resin, thereby improving the peel strength between the first adhesive layer 32 and the base layer 31 and the housing 10, and the second adhesive layer 33 and the base layer 31 and the electrode assembly 20. The polyether polyol is prepared by a polyaddition reaction of an initiator (i.e., a compound containing an active hydrogen group) with ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, butylene oxide, etc. under catalysis.

[0074] In some embodiments, the material of the negative electrode active material layer 212 includes styrene-butadiene rubber and carboxymethyl cellulose, the mass percentage of styrene-butadiene rubber is 1% to 2%, and the mass percentage of carboxymethyl cellulose is 1% to 2%. The material of the negative electrode active material layer 212 includes the above materials, and the mass percentage of the above materials in the negative electrode active material layer 212 is controlled within the above range, so that the peel strength between the negative electrode active material layer 212 and the separator 23 and the negative electrode current collector 211 can be adjusted, so that τ 2 ≤τ 1 .

[0075] In some embodiments, the material of the positive electrode active material layer 222 includes polyvinylidene fluoride, and the mass percentage of polyvinylidene fluoride is 1% to 2%. The material of the positive electrode active material layer 222 includes the above materials, and the mass percentage of the above materials in the positive electrode active material layer 222 is controlled within the above range, which can adjust the peel strength between the positive electrode active material layer 222 and the separator 23 and the positive electrode current collector 221, thereby making it easier to make τ 2 ≤τ 1 .

[0076] In some embodiments, along the first direction X, the projections of the first adhesive layer 32, the second adhesive layer 33 and the base layer 31 overlap, the projection of the outermost electrode piece covers the projection of the adhesive 30, and the projection area of ​​the outermost electrode piece is S 1 , the projection area of ​​the adhesive 30 is S 2 , 0.35≤S 2 / S 1 ≤1. For example, S 2 / S 1 The values ​​of can be 0.35, 0.5, 0.6, 0.75, and 1. Set 0.35≤S 2 / S 1≤1, so that the bonding area between the adhesive 30 and the housing 10 and the electrode assembly 20 is not too small, which is beneficial to improve τ 2 value, so that when the secondary battery 100 is dropped or vibrated, the possibility of the electrode assembly 20 impacting the outer shell 10 is further reduced.

[0077] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 , along the direction perpendicular to the first direction X, the minimum distance between the edge of the adhesive 30 and the edge of the outermost electrode sheet of the electrode assembly 20 is d, 10 mm ≤ d. For example, the value of d can be 10 mm, 11 mm, 13 mm and 15 mm. Setting 10 mm ≤ d can make the edge of the adhesive 30 farther away from the edge of the outermost electrode sheet and the outer shell 10, so that the adhesive 30 is not easily peeled off from the outermost electrode sheet and the outer shell 10, which is conducive to further reducing the possibility of the electrode assembly 20 impacting the outer shell 10.

[0078] It should be understood that the distances between the edge of the adhesive 30 and the edge of the outermost electrode sheet of the electrode assembly 20 may be equal or different along different directions perpendicular to the first direction X, but all satisfy 10 mm ≤ d. In addition, since space for setting the adhesive 30 needs to be reserved, the value of d is not too large.

[0079] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 , along the first direction X, the center of the circumscribed circle of the projection of the adhesive 30 coincides with the center of the circumscribed circle of the projection of the outermost pole piece. The coincidence referred to here means that the distance between the center of the circumscribed circle of the projection of the adhesive 30 and the center of the circumscribed circle of the projection of the outermost pole piece is 0mm to 1mm. In this case, along different directions perpendicular to the first direction X, the distance between the edge of the adhesive 30 and the edges of the outermost pole piece and the housing 10 is relatively uniform, which can improve the peel strength of the adhesive 30 and the outermost pole piece and the housing 10 along different directions perpendicular to the first direction X, which is conducive to improving τ 2 value, thereby helping to further reduce the possibility of the electrode assembly 20 impacting the housing 10.

The positive electrode tab bundle 70 is bent in a direction opposite to the stacking direction of the plurality of positive electrode tabs 50 and then insulated and connected to the housing 10.

[0087] In some embodiments, see Figure 6 The secondary battery 100 includes a pole 80 , which is insulated and fixed to the housing 10 , and the positive electrode tab bundle 70 is electrically connected to the pole 80 .

[0088] In some embodiments, the positive electrode tab bundle 70 is connected to the pole 80 through an adapter (not shown), and the material of the adapter is one or more conductive materials such as copper, aluminum, nickel, and nickel alloy.

[0089] In some embodiments, the pole 80 is insulated and fixed to the first housing 11. Figure 6 The secondary battery 100 includes an insulating member 90 , which is disposed on the first housing 11 . Along the first direction X and the third direction Z, the pole 80 is spaced apart from the first housing 11 by at least a portion of the insulating member 90 .

[0090] See also Figure 7 One embodiment of the present application provides an electric device 1000, comprising the secondary battery 100 as described above. The secondary battery 100 has a relatively high service life, which is beneficial to prolonging the service life of the electric device 1000. The electric device 1000 includes but is not limited to electronic devices such as mobile phones, tablet computers, and laptop computers.

[0091] To verify this application 1 and τ 2In order to investigate the influence of the relationship between and on the secondary battery 100, the inventors of the present application conducted the following experiment, which includes 8 groups of comparative examples and 9 groups of embodiments, each of which includes 20 secondary batteries 100. The shell 10 of the secondary battery 100 used in the comparative examples and embodiments is made of steel, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are welded, and the first shell 11 is the shell body of the shell 10, and the second shell 12 is the shell cover of the shell 10. The electrode assembly 20 in the secondary battery 100 is a stacked structure, and the outermost electrode sheet of the electrode assembly 20 is a single-sided negative electrode sheet 21. The adhesive member 30 in the secondary battery 100 is arranged centrally relative to the outermost electrode sheet of the electrode assembly 20, the first adhesive layer 32 is bonded to the shell cover (i.e., the second shell 12) of the shell 10, and the second adhesive layer 33 is bonded to the outermost electrode sheet of the electrode assembly 20. Along the thickness direction of the adhesive member 30, the projections of the base layer 31, the first adhesive layer 32, and the second adhesive layer 33 are all overlapped, and the projection area S of the adhesive member 30 is 2 The projected area S of the outermost pole piece 1 Equal (S 1 With S 2 A 10% error is allowed between the two).

[0092] In the present application, the τ required for the experiment can be obtained by changing the mass percentage of each material in the first adhesive layer 32 and the second adhesive layer 33. 2 The τ required for the experiment can be obtained by changing the mass percentage of each material in the negative electrode sheet 21, the positive electrode sheet 22 and the separator 23. 1 Among them, the determination of τ 1 and τ 2 The method is as follows: 1) Sample preparation: According to the τ to be measured 1 and τ 2 , take out the samples to be peeled off in which the adhesive 30 remains bonded to the second shell 12 and the outermost electrode sheet of the electrode assembly 20, and the samples to be torn off in which the diaphragm 23 remains bonded to the negative electrode sheet 21 and the positive electrode sheet 22 from the finished secondary battery 100, and use a blade to cut out peeling test samples and tearing test samples with a test area of ​​1 cm×1 cm from the different samples taken out.

[0093] 2) Test: Fix the peel test specimen and the tear test specimen to the test fixture of the high-speed rail tensile testing machine in turn, so that the thickness direction of the peel test specimen and the tear test specimen is perpendicular to the force direction of the high-speed rail tensile testing machine. Select the shear mode, set the shear angle to 0 degrees, and set the shear speed to 25±2mm / min until the shear interface of the peel test specimen is completely peeled off or the shear interface of the tear test specimen is completely torn.

[0094] 3) Value: The ratio of the maximum tensile force to the test area when the shear interface of the peel test specimen is completely peeled off is τ2 The ratio of the maximum tensile force to the test area when the shear interface of the tear test specimen is completely torn is taken as τ 1 The value of .

[0095] In the present application, the drop pass rate of the secondary battery 100 and the tearing rate of the electrode assembly 20 can be used to reflect the τ 1 and τ 2 The relationship between the drop test and the electrode assembly 20 has an impact on the secondary battery 100. The drop pass rate refers to the proportion of secondary batteries 100 that have no leakage or fire after the drop test, and the tearing rate refers to the proportion of secondary batteries 100 that have tearing in the electrode assembly 20 after the drop test. The drop test method is as follows: 1) 20 secondary batteries 100 of each comparative example and embodiment are grouped as one, and the 20 secondary batteries 100 are sequentially placed in a special fixture and freely dropped from a height of 1.5 meters onto a marble surface; each secondary battery 100 is dropped three times in total, and the position sequence of the secondary battery 100 facing the marble surface during each drop is: upper shell cover - lower bottom wall - upper right corner - lower right corner - upper left corner - lower left corner; 2) After each round of dropping, check the appearance of the secondary battery 100. If the secondary battery 100 in the round leaks or catches fire, stop dropping immediately.

[0096] 3) After all 20 secondary batteries 100 in each group have been dropped, the secondary batteries 100 are disassembled, and the number of secondary batteries 100 that have not leaked or caught fire is counted as N, and the number of secondary batteries 100 whose electrode assemblies 20 have been torn is counted as F. The drop pass rate of the secondary batteries 100 in this group is N / 20, and the tearing rate of the electrode assemblies 20 is F / 20.

[0097] After the test, the experimental results are recorded in Table 1: Table 1 In Table 1, the drop pass rate and tearing rate of Comparative Examples 1 to 3 are all 0%, which is due to τ 2 <1N / cm 2 , τ 2 When the drop test is performed, the adhesive 30 is easily separated from the housing 10 or the electrode assembly 20, so that the electrode assembly 20 impacts the housing 10 and causes leakage. 2 ≤τ 1 Or τ 2 >τ 1 , the falling energy cannot be transferred to the electrode assembly 20 through the adhesive 30, so that the electrode assembly 20 is not torn.

[0098] In Table 1, the drop pass rates of Comparative Examples 4 to 6 are all close to 0%, which is due to τ 2 =1N / cm 2 When the drop test is performed, the adhesive 30 is still easy to peel off from the housing 10 or the electrode assembly 20, so that the electrode assembly 20 impacts the housing 10 and causes leakage. The tearing rate of comparative example 4 is equivalent to the drop pass rate. This is because τ 2 >τ 1 In the portion of the secondary battery 100 that passed the drop test, the drop energy is transferred to the electrode assembly 20 through the adhesive 30, so that the electrode assembly 20 is torn. The tearing incidence rates of Comparative Examples 5 and 6 are lower than that of Comparative Example 4 because τ 2 ≤τ 1 In the portion of the secondary batteries 100 that pass the drop test, the possibility that the drop energy is transmitted to the electrode assembly 20 through the adhesive 30 is low, and thus the possibility that the electrode assembly 20 is torn is low.

[0099] In Table 1, the drop pass rates of Comparative Examples 7 and 8 are significantly greater than those of Comparative Examples 1 to 6. This is because τ 2 >1N / cm 2 When the drop test is performed, the adhesive 30 is not easily peeled off from the housing 10 or the electrode assembly 20, which can reduce the possibility of leakage caused by the electrode assembly 20 impacting the housing 10. The tearing rate of Comparative Examples 7 and 8 is equivalent to the drop pass rate. This is because τ 2 >τ 1 In the portion of the secondary batteries 100 that pass the drop test, the drop energy is transferred to the electrode assembly 20 through the adhesive 30 , so that the electrode assembly 20 is torn.

[0100] In Table 1, the drop pass rates of Examples 1 to 9 are significantly greater than those of Comparative Examples 1 to 6, and the drop pass rates of Examples 7 to 9 are significantly greater than those of Examples 1 to 6. That is, the present application sets τ 2 >1N / cm 2 , which can reduce the possibility of leakage caused by the electrode assembly 20 impacting the housing 10. Further, by setting τ 2 >4N / cm 2 , which can further reduce the possibility of leakage caused by the electrode assembly 20 impacting the housing 10.

[0101] In Table 1, the tearing incidence rates of Example 3 and Example 4 are significantly lower than that of Comparative Example 7, and the tearing incidence rates of Example 7 and Example 8 are significantly lower than that of Comparative Example 8. That is, the present application sets τ 2 ≤τ1 , which helps to reduce the risk of the electrode assembly 20 being torn.

[0102] In Table 1, the drop pass rates of Example 4, Example 6, Example 8 and Example 9 are all significantly greater than the drop pass rate of Example 2, that is, the present application achieves a higher drop pass rate by setting τ 1 -τ 2 ≤3N / cm 2 , which helps to reduce the possibility of the electrode assembly 20 impacting the shell 10.

[0103] In addition, those skilled in the art should recognize that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present application, and are not intended to limit the present application. As long as they are within the essential scope of the present application, appropriate changes and modifications to the above embodiments are within the scope disclosed in the present application.
