Combined with a multi-stage vacuum liquid injection system and stepped temperature rise control, efficient and uniform distribution of the electrolyte is achieved through the synergistic effect of the staggered connection of the multi-layer tab group and the guide grooves.
It significantly shortens the electrolyte infiltration time, reduces the bubble residual rate, and improves the battery's energy density and cycle life. It is suitable for power batteries and energy storage batteries.
Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of lithium-ion battery manufacturing, and in particular relates to a directional flow-guiding and liquid-injecting process for multi-layer tabs of a full-tab battery. Background Art
[0002] Full-tab batteries, with their exceptional low internal resistance and high-rate performance, have been widely used in the new energy vehicle industry. However, traditional electrolyte injection processes face challenges such as uneven electrolyte distribution, long soaking times, and residual bubbles, which severely impact the overall performance and stability of the battery.
[0003] The current technology generally uses a single tab structure coupled with conventional vacuum injection. However, when multiple tabs are stacked, the electrolyte often has difficulty effectively penetrating the center of the battery, affecting the electrochemical performance in this area. Furthermore, areas with dense tabs are prone to liquid resistance, further complicating the challenge of achieving uniform electrolyte distribution. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a directional flow-guiding and liquid-injection process for multi-layer tabs of full-tab batteries, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] The present invention processes a multi-layer tab group on the electrode and provides flow guide grooves and flow guide holes to form an electrolyte transmission network. Combining a low-speed, medium-speed, and low-speed injection strategy, the capillary action of the flow guide grooves matches the vacuum adsorption force. Periodic vacuum negative pressure and gradient temperature increase are used to promote deep penetration of the electrolyte into the electrode. This shortens the electrolyte infiltration time by 30%-50% and reduces the bubble residue rate to below 1%. The electrolyte distribution uniformity between the electrode pieces is improved to over 95%, resulting in a 20% increase in battery cycle life and a 5%-8% increase in energy density. By designing a multi-layer tab structure on the electrode surface of a full-tab battery, combined with directional flow guide grooves and flow guide holes, the electrolyte infiltration path is optimized. The spatial distribution of the multi-layer tabs and the synergistic effect of the flow guide grooves achieve efficient and uniform electrolyte distribution, significantly shortening the injection time, reducing bubble residue, and improving battery energy density and cycle life. The multi-layer tab flow guide design and dynamic vacuum injection parameter control are suitable for the manufacture of high-capacity batteries such as power batteries and energy storage batteries.
