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 prone to tearing under the action of the drop energy or vibration energy. In particular, as the number of cycles of the secondary battery increases, the expansion force generated by the secondary battery gradually increases, the deformation degree of the electrode assembly is aggravated, and it is more likely to tear, 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, the electrode assembly is arranged in the receiving cavity, and the adhesive is a single-layer structure and includes a first surface and a second surface arranged opposite to each other along a first direction. The first surface is bonded to one of the housing and the electrode assembly. In a direction perpendicular to the first direction, the second surface and the other of the housing and the electrode assembly can move relative to each other and can generate friction during relative movement. The first direction is the thickness direction of the adhesive. In the direction perpendicular to the first direction, the tear strength of the electrode assembly is τ 1 , the anti-slip strength between the second surface and the shell or the second surface and the electrode assembly is τ 2 , 1N / cm 2 <τ 2 ≤τ 1 .

[0006] By setting the adhesive to be bonded to one of the housing and the electrode assembly, and being able to move relative to the other of the housing and the electrode assembly, friction and a buffering effect can be generated when the adhesive and the housing or the adhesive and the electrode assembly move relative to each other. 2 <τ 2, the anti-slip strength between the second surface and the shell or the second surface and the electrode assembly is not too small, and when the secondary battery falls or vibrates, the friction buffering effect between the second surface and the shell or the second surface and the electrode assembly can reduce the falling energy or vibration energy, which is beneficial to reduce the possibility of the electrode assembly impacting the shell. By setting τ 2 ≤τ 1 The anti-slip strength between the second surface and the outer shell or the second surface and the electrode assembly is not too large. When the drop intensity or vibration intensity is large, the second surface can slide relative to the outer shell or the electrode assembly before the electrode assembly is torn, which is beneficial to reduce the risk of the electrode assembly being torn, thereby helping to increase the service life of the secondary battery.

[0007] In one or more of the above embodiments, 1N / cm 2 ≤τ 1 -τ 2 ≤3N / cm 2 .

By setting G≤1000MPa, the rigidity of the adhesive can be made not too strong, which can facilitate elastic deformation of the adhesive, which is conducive to reducing the possibility of the electrode assembly impacting the shell.

[0011] In one or more of the above embodiments, along the first direction, the thickness of the adhesive is D, 9μm≤D≤25μm. By setting 9μm≤D, the adhesive can be made not too thin, which is conducive to reducing the possibility of fatigue damage of the adhesive under continuous friction, thereby facilitating the adhesive to maintain the friction buffering effect. By setting D≤25μm, the adhesive is not too thick, which is conducive to improving the energy density of the secondary battery.

[0012] In one or more of the above embodiments, along the first direction, the surface where the minimum projection area of ​​the adhesive component is located includes the second surface.

[0013] In one or more of the above embodiments, the first surface is bonded to the electrode assembly. The second surface and the housing can move relative to each other in a direction perpendicular to the first direction. Compared with the case where the first surface is bonded to the housing and the second surface and the electrode assembly move relative to each other and generate friction, the wear on the electrode assembly can be reduced, which is beneficial to improving the service life of the secondary battery. In addition, it is convenient to process the surface of the housing that rubs against the second surface, so as to conveniently adjust the friction coefficient between the second surface and the housing.

[0014] In one or more of the above embodiments, along the direction perpendicular to the first direction, the peel strength between the first surface and the electrode assembly is τ 3 , τ 3 ≥τ 2 . Relative to setting τ 3 <τ 2 , set τ 3 ≥τ 2 The possibility of the first surface being separated from the electrode assembly in advance can be reduced, which is conducive to maintaining the friction buffering effect between the second surface and the shell.

[0015] In one or more of the above embodiments, the first surface has protrusions and depressions arranged in a staggered manner, and at least part of the protrusions and depressions are bonded to the electrode assembly. By making the first surface have protrusions and depressions, it is beneficial to increase τ 3 , which makes it easier to make τ 3 ≥τ 2 .

[0036] Some embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0037] See also Figures 1 to 3The embodiment of the present application provides a secondary battery 100, including a housing 10, an electrode assembly 20 and an adhesive member 30, wherein the electrode assembly 20 is accommodated in the housing 10. The adhesive member 30 is bonded to one of the housing 10 and the electrode assembly 20, and can move relative to the other of the housing 10 and the electrode assembly 20, and can generate friction during the relative movement.

[0038] See also Figure 3 The housing 10 is provided with a receiving chamber 101, and the receiving chamber 101 is filled with an electrolyte, and the electrolyte includes an electrolyte salt. In some embodiments, the electrolyte salt includes at least one of an organic lithium salt or an inorganic lithium salt.

[0039] In some embodiments, the material of the housing 10 includes but is not limited to aluminum-plastic film or steel.

[0040] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The housing 10 includes a first shell 11 and a second shell 12, and the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are connected to form a receiving cavity 101. In some embodiments, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are connected along the thickness direction of the electrode assembly 20.

[0041] In some embodiments, when the material of the housing 10 is an aluminum-plastic film, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 can be connected by melting. When the material of the housing 10 is steel, the first housing 11 and the second housing 12 can be connected by welding.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first housing 11 is the body of the housing 10, and the second housing 12 is the cover of the housing 10. Figure 3 The first housing 11 includes a bottom wall 111 and a side wall 112. The side wall 112 is disposed around the periphery of the bottom wall 111 and forms a recess with the bottom wall 111. The side wall 112 is connected to the second housing 12. In some other embodiments, the second housing 12 may also be formed with a recess.

[0043] See also Figure 3 The 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.

[0050] In some embodiments, the negative electrode active material layer 212 may be formed by coating the negative electrode active material on the negative electrode current collector 211, and the negative electrode active material layer 212 is bonded to the negative electrode current collector 211. The positive electrode active material layer 222 may be formed by coating the positive electrode active material on the positive electrode current collector 221, and the positive electrode active material layer 222 is bonded to the positive electrode current collector 221.

[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, the adhesive member 30 is a single-layer structure, and includes a first surface 31 and a second surface 32 arranged oppositely along a first direction X, and the first direction X is the thickness direction of the adhesive member 30. The first surface 31 is bonded to one of the housing 10 and the electrode assembly 20, and the second surface 32 can move relative to the other of the housing 10 and the electrode assembly 20 along a direction perpendicular to the first direction X, and can generate friction during relative movement. For example, the first surface 31 is bonded to the housing 10, and the second surface 32 and the electrode assembly 20 can move relative to each other; or, the first surface 31 is bonded to the electrode assembly 20, and the second surface 32 and the housing 10 can move relative to each other. The second surface 32 and the housing 10 or the electrode assembly 20 can be in contact in advance, which can facilitate friction and buffering during relative movement. Alternatively, the second surface 32 and the housing 10 or the electrode assembly 20 can be in contact after the secondary battery 100 has undergone cyclic expansion. When the electrode assembly 20 and the housing 10 have a tendency to move relative to each other or relative movement occurs, a buffering effect can be generated between the second surface 32 and the housing 10 or the electrode assembly 20. For example, the second surface 32 is in contact with the housing 10 or the electrode assembly 20 in advance, so that friction is generated when the second surface 32 and the housing 10 or the second surface 32 and the electrode assembly 20 move relative to each other, thereby generating a buffering effect.

[0053] In the direction perpendicular to the first direction X, the tear strength of the electrode assembly 20 is τ 1 , the anti-slip strength between the second surface 32 and the housing 10 or between the second surface 32 and the electrode assembly 20 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 enable relative slip between the second surface 32 and the housing 10 or between the second surface 32 and the electrode assembly 20 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 is achieved by setting 1N / cm 2 <τ 2 , the anti-slip strength between the second surface 32 and the housing 10 or the second surface 32 and the electrode assembly 20 is not too small, and when the secondary battery 100 falls or vibrates, the friction buffering effect between the second surface 32 and the housing 10 or the electrode assembly 20 can reduce the falling energy or vibration energy, which is beneficial to reduce the possibility of the electrode assembly 20 impacting the housing 10. By setting τ 2 ≤τ 1 , the anti-slip strength between the second surface 32 and the housing 10 or the second surface 32 and the electrode assembly 20 is not too large. When the drop strength or vibration strength is large, the second surface 32 can slide relatively with the housing 10 or the electrode assembly 20 before the electrode assembly 20 is torn, which is conducive to reducing the risk of the electrode assembly 20 being torn, thereby facilitating 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, resulting in leakage failure of the secondary battery 100.

[0057] In some embodiments, 1N / cm 2 ≤τ 1 -τ 2 ≤3N / cm 2 . Considering that as the number of cycles of the secondary battery increases, τ 1 By setting 1N / cm 2 ≤τ 1 -τ 2 , which can reduce the secondary battery 100 after cycling τ 1 Reduced to less than τ 2 The possibility of the electrode assembly 20 being torn when the secondary battery 100 is dropped or vibrated after cycling is reduced. By setting τ 1 -τ 2 ≤3N / cm 2 , when satisfying τ 2 ≤τ 1 Under the premise of 2 It is not too small, which is helpful to reduce the possibility of the electrode assembly 20 impacting the housing 10.

[0058] In some embodiments, along the first direction X, the surface where the minimum projection area of ​​the adhesive 30 is located includes the second surface 32 .

[0059] In some embodiments, the friction coefficient between the second surface 32 and the housing 10 or the electrode assembly 20 is f, 0.5≤f≤3. For example, the value of f is 0.5, 0.8, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, or any value between the listed endpoint values. By setting 0.5≤f, τ 2 It is not too small, which is helpful to reduce the possibility of the electrode assembly 20 impacting the housing 10. By setting f≤3, τ 2 It is not too large, which helps to reduce the risk of the electrode assembly 20 being torn.

[0060] In some embodiments, 0.8≤f≤2. By setting 0.8≤f, the possibility of the electrode assembly 20 impacting the housing 10 is further reduced. By setting f≤2, the risk of the electrode assembly 20 being torn is further reduced.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first surface 31 is bonded to the electrode assembly 20, and the second surface 32 and the housing 10 can move relative to each other in a direction perpendicular to the first direction X. Compared with the bonding of the first surface 31 to the housing 10 and the relative movement and friction between the second surface 32 and the electrode assembly 20, the wear of the electrode assembly 20 can be reduced, which is conducive to improving the service life of the secondary battery 100. In addition, it is convenient to process the surface of the housing 10 that rubs against the second surface 32, so as to conveniently adjust the friction coefficient between the second surface 32 and the housing 10. For example, by laser roughening the surface of the housing 10 that rubs against the second surface 32 to increase the surface roughness of the housing 10, the friction coefficient between the second surface 32 and the housing 10 is increased. In some embodiments, the second surface 32 and the second shell 12 can move relative to each other.

[0062] In some embodiments, the peel strength between the first surface 31 and the electrode assembly 20 along the direction perpendicular to the first direction X is τ 3 , τ 3 ≥τ 2 The so-called τ 3 It refers to the shear stress required to completely separate the first surface 31 from the electrode assembly 20 under the action of a load perpendicular to the first direction X. 3 <τ 2 , set τ 3 ≥τ 2 The possibility of the first surface 31 being separated from the electrode assembly 20 in advance can be reduced, which is conducive to maintaining the friction buffering effect between the second surface 32 and the shell 10.

[0063] In some embodiments, τ 3 -τ2 ≤10N / cm 2 . When satisfying τ 3 ≥τ 2 Under the premise of 3 It is not too large, which is beneficial to improving the convenience of preparing the adhesive member 30.

[0064] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The first surface 31 has protrusions 311 and depressions 312 arranged alternately, and at least part of the protrusions 311 and depressions 312 are bonded to the electrode assembly 20. By making the first surface 31 have protrusions 311 and depressions 312, it is beneficial to increase τ 3 , which makes it easier to make τ 3 ≥τ 2 In some other embodiments, the second surface 32 has protrusions 311 and recesses 312 arranged alternately to increase the friction coefficient between the second surface 32 and the housing 10 .

[0065] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 , along the first direction X, the thickness of the adhesive 30 is D, 9μm≤D≤25μm. For example, the thickness of the adhesive 30 is 9μm, 12μm, 15μm, 20μm, 25μm or any value between the listed endpoint values. By setting 9μm≤D, the adhesive 30 can be made not too thin, which is conducive to reducing the possibility of fatigue damage of the adhesive 30 under continuous friction, thereby helping the adhesive 30 to maintain the friction buffering effect. By setting D≤25μm, the adhesive 30 is not too thick, which is conducive to improving the energy density of the secondary battery 100.

[0066] In some embodiments, the shear modulus of the adhesive 30 is G, 200MPa≤G≤1000MPa. For example, the value of G is 200MPa, 300MPa, 400MPa, 500MPa, 750MPa, 1000MPa or any value between the listed endpoint values. By setting 200MPa≤G, the rigidity of the adhesive 30 can be made not too weak, which is conducive to reducing the possibility of fatigue damage of the adhesive 30 under continuous friction, thereby helping to keep the adhesive 30 to produce a friction buffering effect. By setting G≤1000MPa, the rigidity of the adhesive 30 can be made not too strong, which can facilitate elastic deformation of the adhesive 30, which is conducive to reducing the possibility of the electrode assembly 20 impacting the housing 10.

[0067] In some embodiments, the material of the adhesive 30 includes polyacrylate and a curing agent, the mass percentage of the polyacrylate is 95% to 99%, and the mass percentage of the curing agent is 1% to 4%. The curing agent includes but is not limited to epoxy resin and polyamide. The material of the adhesive 30 includes the above materials and the mass percentage of the above materials in the adhesive 30 is controlled within the above range, which can facilitate 1N / cm 2 <τ 2 ≤τ 1 .

[0068] In some embodiments, the first surface 31 is bonded to the outermost electrode sheet of the electrode assembly 20. Along the first direction X, the projection area of ​​the outermost electrode sheet is S 1 , the friction area of ​​the second surface 32 is S 2 , 0.5≤S 2 / S 1 ≤1. For example, S 2 / S 1 The value of is 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1, or any value between the listed endpoints. Set 0.5≤S 2 / S 1 ≤1, which can ensure that the friction area between the second surface 32 and the housing 10 is not too small, which is beneficial to improve τ 2 The value of is beneficial to further reduce the possibility of the electrode assembly 20 impacting the shell 10.

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.

[0081] In order to verify the effect of the solution provided in the present application on the secondary battery 100, the inventor of the present application conducted the following experiment, which includes 8 groups of comparative examples and 20 groups of exemplary embodiments, and each group of comparative examples and exemplary embodiments includes 20 secondary batteries 100. The material of the outer shell 10 of the secondary battery 100 used in the comparative examples and exemplary embodiments is steel, the first shell 11 and the second shell 12 are welded and connected, and the first shell 11 is the shell body of the outer shell 10, and the second shell 12 is the shell cover of the outer 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 first surface 31 of the adhesive 30 is bonded to the outermost electrode sheet of the electrode assembly 20, and the second surface 32 of the adhesive 30 is in contact with the shell cover (i.e., the second shell 12) of the outer shell 10, and the friction area S of the second surface 32 is 0. 2 The projected area S of the outermost pole piece 1 Equal (S 1 and S 2 A 10% error is allowed between the two).

[0082] In the present application, the mass percentage of each material in the negative electrode sheet 21, the positive electrode sheet 22 and the separator 23 can be changed to obtain the τ required for the experiment. 1 Among them, the determination of τ 1 The method is as follows: 1) Sample preparation: The separator 23, the negative electrode sheet 21 and the positive electrode sheet 22 which are still bonded are taken out from the finished secondary battery 100 as a sample to be torn, and a tear test sample with a test area of ​​1 cm×1 cm is cut out from the taken sample to be torn with a blade.

[0083] 2) Test: Fix the tear test specimen to the test fixture of the high-speed rail tensile testing machine. When fixing, make the thickness direction of the tear test specimen 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 the shear speed to 25±2mm / min. Start the test until the shear interface of the tear test specimen is completely torn.

[0084] 3) Value: 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 .

[0085] In the present application, the mass percentage of each material in the adhesive 30 can be changed to obtain the τ required for the experiment. 2 Among them, the determination of τ 2 The method is as follows: 1) placing the finished secondary battery 100 in an environment of 25±1°C; 2) charging with a constant current of 3C and discharging with a constant current of 1C so that the secondary battery 100 is cycled for 800 times, and then the expansion force generated by the secondary battery 100 is measured by an expansion force tester; 3) Take out the adhesive member 30 and the outermost electrode sheet that remain bonded from the secondary battery 100 as the sliding sample, and take out the shell cover of the housing 10 as the sliding sample, and use a blade to cut out a sliding test sample with a test area of ​​3 cm×3 cm from the taken out sliding sample; 4) Fix the sliding test sample to the test slider of the friction coefficient tester, wherein the outermost pole piece is located between the adhesive 30 and the test slider, and the adhesive 30 is located at the outermost side away from the test slider. Fix the sliding sample on the horizontal test bench to ensure that the sliding test sample is parallel to the sliding sample on the horizontal test bench. Set the slider speed to 60±2mm / min. Start the test so that the sliding test sample starts to move on the sliding sample. After stopping, the reading of the friction coefficient tester is the friction coefficient between the test samples. 5) Repeat step 4 for 5 times and take the average value; 6) Calculate the product of the expansion force generated by the secondary battery 100 and the friction coefficient, and divide it by the friction area S of the second surface 32 2 , the resulting ratio is τ 2 The value of .

[0086] 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.

[0087] 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.

[0088] After the test, the experimental results are recorded in Tables 1 to 3: Table 1 Table 2 Table 3 In Tables 1 to 3, the shear modulus G of Comparative Examples 1 to 8, Examples 1 to 9, and Examples 16 to 20 are all 1100 MPa, τ 1 and τ 2 Different. τ in Examples 10 to 15 1 and τ 2 Compared with τ in Example 2 1 and τ 2 The same, the shear modulus G in Examples 10 to 15 is different from the shear modulus G in Example 2. Compared with Comparative Examples 1 to 8 and Examples 1 to 15, Examples 16 to 20 are first cycled 800 times before the drop test.

[0089] In Table 1, the drop pass rates of Comparative Examples 1 to 6 are all close to 0%, which is due to τ 2 ≤1N / cm 2 When the drop test is performed, the second surface 32 is prone to relative slippage with the housing 10, so that the electrode assembly 20 impacts the housing 10 and causes leakage. The tearing rate of Comparative Examples 1 and 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 transmitted to the electrode assembly 20 through the adhesive 30, so that the electrode assembly 20 is torn. The tearing incidence rates of Comparative Examples 2 and 3 are lower than that of Comparative Example 1, and the tearing incidence rates of Comparative Examples 5 and 6 are lower than that of Comparative Example 4. This is because τ 2 ≤τ 1 In the portion of the secondary batteries 100 that passed 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.

[0090] 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 2When the drop test is performed, the second surface 32 and the housing 10 are not prone to relative slippage, 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.

[0091] In Table 1, the drop pass rates of Examples 1 to 9 are significantly greater than the drop pass rates of Comparative 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.

[0092] 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 ≤τ 1 , which helps to reduce the risk of the electrode assembly 20 being torn.

[0093] 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.

[0094] In Table 2, the drop pass rates of Example 10 and Example 11 are equivalent, but the shear modulus of Example 11 is greater than the shear modulus of Example 10. According to Example 11 to Example 15 and Example 2, the drop pass rates of Example 15 and Example 2 are equivalent, but the shear modulus of Example 2 is greater than the shear modulus of Example 15; when G≤1000MPa, as the shear modulus G gradually decreases, the drop pass rate of the secondary battery 100 gradually increases. In other words, the present application is conducive to reducing the possibility of fatigue damage to the adhesive 30 under continuous friction by setting 200MPa≤G, thereby helping the adhesive 30 to maintain a friction buffering effect. By setting G≤1000MPa, it is helpful to reduce the possibility of leakage caused by the electrode assembly 20 impacting the outer shell 10.

[0095] In Table 3, the tearing rate of the secondary battery in Example 16 after 100 cycles and 800 times is significantly greater than the tearing rate of the secondary battery in Examples 17 to 20 after 100 cycles and 800 times, and the tearing rate of the secondary battery in Example 19 after 100 cycles and 800 times is equivalent to the tearing rate of the secondary battery in Example 20 after 100 cycles and 800 times, that is, the present application sets 1N / cm 2 ≤τ 1 -τ 2 ≤3N / cm 2 This helps to reduce the risk of the electrode assembly 20 being torn when the secondary battery 100 is dropped or vibrated after cycling.

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.
