Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of batteries and relates to a battery core structure and a manufacturing method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] As a new generation of high energy density energy storage devices, all-solid-state batteries have received widespread attention in recent years. Its core structure is usually composed of a positive electrode layer, a solid electrolyte layer and a negative electrode layer stacked in sequence. The functional layers form a complete electrochemical system through physical contact and interface bonding. In this type of battery, since the solid electrolyte does not have the fluidity and self-wetting properties of the liquid electrolyte, the interface contact quality between the functional layers has a decisive influence on the overall performance of the battery. In order to ensure good ion transmission channels and low interface impedance, a pressurization treatment process is usually required in the preparation process to increase the tightness between the materials and improve the interface bonding state.
[0003] In the current mainstream all-solid-state battery manufacturing process, electrode sheet size is typically designed so that the negative electrode sheet is larger than the positive electrode sheet. This strategy is primarily intended to avoid the risk of internal short circuits caused by exposed positive electrode edges during subsequent assembly. However, while this structural design improves battery safety to a certain extent, it also introduces new challenges during the subsequent pressurization and molding process.
[0004] Specifically, after the electrode stack assembly and packaging are completed, isostatic pressing technology is usually required to apply uniform pressure to the entire battery cell assembly to improve the density of the electrode and electrolyte layers and promote the formation of more stable mechanical and electrochemical contact between the layers. Isostatic pressing treatment places the battery to be treated in a closed container filled with liquid, and uses an external hydraulic system to apply uniform pressure so that the sample is subjected to the same stress in all directions, thereby achieving material densification and interface optimization. However, when there is a difference in the size of the positive and negative electrode sheets, a significant thickness difference will be formed in the edge area of the battery cell, resulting in inconsistent stress states in different areas, which in turn generates shear stress, causing the solid electrolyte membrane to rupture here, forming microcracks or even penetrating defects, thereby destroying the integrity of the electrode / electrolyte interface and increasing the risk of local short circuits.
[0005] Secondly, isostatic pressing equipment essentially belongs to high-pressure containers, and its operation conditions are strict and complicated. It not only needs to be equipped with a high-strength pressure-resistant shell and a sealing device, but also needs to have precise pressure control and safety guarantee mechanisms. This makes the investment cost of the equipment high, and also accompanied by high energy consumption and maintenance costs in the daily operation process. In addition, since the isostatic pressing process must be carried out in a closed environment, the entire process is relatively closed, and it is difficult to realize real-time monitoring and online control. For example, during the pressurization process, if local stress concentration or material deformation anomaly occurs inside the battery cell, the operator cannot discover and take intervention measures in time, which may cause product defects or even safety accidents.
[0006] Therefore, it is still necessary to explore a more efficient and controllable related manufacturing and forming technology to solve the process problems of the current all-solid-state battery under the condition that the sizes of the pole pieces are inconsistent, and to promote its large-scale industrial application. SUMMARY
[0007] In view of the problems in the prior art, the present application provides a battery cell structure and a manufacturing method and use thereof. The manufacturing method comprises forming a plurality of positive electrode insulation partitions spaced apart on the to-be-coated surface of the positive electrode current collector, forming a positive electrode active layer in the region between every two adjacent positive electrode insulation partitions, to obtain a positive electrode roll; then unwinding the positive electrode roll, a negative electrode roll and a solid-state electrolyte membrane roll, and performing roll pressing and compounding to obtain a composite electrode roll; and then cutting the positive electrode insulation partitions to obtain the battery cell structure. The positive electrode insulation partitions not only insulate the surrounding of the smaller area positive electrode active layer, but also compensate for the size difference between the positive and negative electrodes, providing support for the negative electrode in the subsequent roll pressing and compounding process, so that the size of the positive and negative pole pieces is consistent, and the short circuit problem caused by the edge shear stress during pressing is eliminated. On this basis, the roll pressing and compounding can effectively improve the densification and improve the electrolyte interface contact. The manufacturing method is simple, convenient, economical and efficient, and is suitable for mass production.
[0008] To achieve this purpose, the present application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0011] providing a negative electrode roll and a solid-state electrolyte membrane roll, unwinding the positive electrode roll, the negative electrode roll and the solid-state electrolyte membrane roll, and performing roll pressing and compounding according to the layer structure of negative electrode pole piece / solid-state electrolyte membrane / positive electrode pole piece, to obtain a composite electrode roll;
[0012] The composite electrode roll is cut, and the cutting position of the piece is located in the positive electrode insulation partition, to obtain a battery structure.
[0013] The present application can insulate the smaller area of the positive active layer around, compensate for the difference between the positive and negative electrodes, and provide support for the negative electrode during the subsequent roll compounding. On this basis, the roll compounding process is used to replace the existing isostatic pressing process, which can effectively improve the densification and improve the electrolyte interface contact, and make the positive and negative electrode sheet size consistent to avoid or eliminate the short circuit caused by the edge shear stress during pressing. Compared with the prior art of manufacturing cut positive and negative electrode sheets and electrolyte films, and then stacking, hot pressing and isostatic pressing, the present application does not need to be cut first, but by preparing a positive electrode roll, a negative electrode roll and a solid electrolyte film roll, and then roll compounding to obtain a composite electrode roll, and then cutting the composite electrode roll by setting the positive electrode insulation partition, the process is relatively simplified, the manufacturing method is simple and convenient, economic and efficient, and the manufacturing efficiency and yield are further improved, which is suitable for continuous mass production.

[0064] The technical solution of the present invention is further illustrated below through specific implementation methods.
[0065] It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the embodiments are only intended to help understand the present invention and should not be considered as specific limitations of the present invention.
[0066] In some specific embodiments, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a battery core structure, the manufacturing method comprising:
[0067] Along the unwinding direction, a plurality of positive electrode insulating partitions are formed on the surface to be coated of the positive electrode current collector at intervals, and a positive electrode active layer is formed in the area between every two adjacent positive electrode insulating partitions to obtain a positive electrode roll;
[0068] Providing a negative electrode coil and a solid electrolyte membrane coil, unwinding the positive electrode coil, the negative electrode coil and the solid electrolyte membrane coil, and rolling and compounding them according to the layer structure of negative electrode sheet / solid electrolyte membrane / positive electrode sheet to obtain a composite electrode coil;
[0069] The composite electrode coil is cut, and the cutting position is located in the positive electrode insulating partition to obtain a battery core structure.
[0070] In one embodiment, the method for preparing the negative electrode roll includes: continuously and uninterruptedly coating a negative electrode active layer on an unwound negative electrode current collector to obtain a negative electrode roll.
[0071] In the present invention, the positive electrode insulating partition is provided on the positive electrode current collector, and a positive electrode active layer is formed between the partitions, so that the continuously coated positive electrode active layer is adjusted to an intermittent coating, so that the area of each positive electrode active layer is reduced compared with the continuously coated negative electrode active layer, meeting the requirement that the negative electrode sheet is larger than the positive electrode sheet in size; at this time, there are positive electrode insulating partitions on both sides (referring to the left and right sides) of each positive electrode active layer along the unwinding direction, so relative to each positive electrode active layer, the excess part of the negative electrode active layer can be carried on the surface of the positive electrode insulating partition on both sides, and then generate force interaction with the positive electrode insulating partition in the subsequent composite process. The positive electrode insulating partition makes up for the size difference between the positive and negative electrode sheets, provides support for the composite of the edges of the negative electrode sheet, thereby avoiding a series of process problems caused by the shear stress generated by the composite, and can ensure the insulation between the edges of the positive electrode active layer and the negative electrode active layer, further effectively avoiding the occurrence of short circuit.
[0072] It is understandable that the provision of the positive electrode insulating partition on the positive electrode current collector is based on the fact that the industry generally makes the size of the negative electrode active layer larger than the size of the positive electrode active layer, that is, the edge of the negative electrode active layer extends beyond the edge of the positive electrode active layer. If the positive electrode insulating partition is not provided on the positive electrode current collector, and it is continuously coated and the size is kept the same as the continuously coated negative electrode active layer, although there is no thickness difference and naturally no shear stress, it is very easy to cause subsequent lithium deposition and short circuit at the edge of the negative electrode; therefore, the provision of the positive electrode insulating partition on the positive electrode current collector is very beneficial to the electrode composite process and the manufacturing quality and performance level of the resulting battery cell structure.
[0073] On the basis of setting up the positive electrode insulation partition, since it provides an improvement and support effect on the composite process, the present invention further uses a roller composite process to realize the composite of the layer structure, which can not only achieve densification, but also improve production efficiency as a continuous preparation. Of course, the positive electrode coil with a positive electrode insulation partition can also be cut and stacked with the cut negative electrode sheet and solid electrolyte membrane and then subjected to conventional composite processes such as isostatic pressing, which can also avoid destructive shear stress. However, such an operation process is cumbersome and inefficient, and has strict requirements on the composite equipment, which is not conducive to continuous production. In these aspects, it is not as good as the roller composite processing process described in the present invention.
[0074] In one embodiment, along the unwinding direction, a plurality of negative electrode insulating partitions are formed on the surface to be coated of the negative electrode current collector, which are arranged at intervals and correspond one-to-one to the positive electrode insulating partitions, and a negative electrode active layer is formed in the area between every two adjacent negative electrode insulating partitions and corresponds one-to-one to the positive electrode active layer to obtain a negative electrode roll; and the size of the negative electrode insulating partition in the unwinding direction is smaller than the corresponding positive electrode insulating partition, and the size of the negative electrode active layer in the unwinding direction is larger than the corresponding positive electrode active layer.
[0075] It is understandable that in addition to the continuous coating of the negative electrode sheet, a corresponding negative electrode insulating partition can also be set in the negative electrode, so that the negative electrode active layer is also adjusted to the corresponding intermittent coating state. At this time, it should be ensured that the size of each negative electrode active layer is larger than the size of the corresponding positive electrode active layer. This difference in size especially refers to the coating length of each active layer along the unwinding direction and the length of the formed active layer. Therefore, at this time, the size (i.e., width) of the negative electrode insulating partition in the unwinding direction should also be smaller than the size of the positive electrode insulating partition in the unwinding direction, so as to ensure that the middle part of each positive electrode insulating partition takes over the negative electrode insulating partition, and the two side parts take over the edges of the two negative electrode active layers respectively.
[0076] In one embodiment, the size of the negative electrode active layer in the unwinding direction is 2 to 6 mm larger than that of the corresponding positive electrode active layer, for example, it can be 2 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.8 mm, 3 mm, 3.3 mm, 3.5 mm, 3.8 mm, 4 mm, 4.2 mm, 4.4 mm, 4.6 mm, 4.8 mm, 5 mm, 5.2 mm, 5.4 mm, 5.6 mm, 5.8 mm or 6 mm, etc.
[0077] In one embodiment, the size of the positive electrode insulating partition in the unwinding direction is 1 to 20 mm, for example, it can be 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm, 13 mm, 14 mm, 15 mm, 16 mm, 17 mm, 18 mm, 19 mm or 20 mm, etc.; the thickness is 30 to 300 μm, for example, it can be 30 μm, 50 μm, 80 μm, 100 μm, 130 μm, 150 μm, 180 μm, 200 μm, 230 μm, 250 μm, 280 μm or 300 μm, etc.
[0078] In one embodiment, the size of the negative electrode insulating partition in the unwinding direction is 2 to 6 mm smaller than the corresponding positive electrode insulating partition, for example, it can be 2 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.8 mm, 3 mm, 3.3 mm, 3.5 mm, 3.8 mm, 4 mm, 4.2 mm, 4.4 mm, 4.6 mm, 4.8 mm, 5 mm, 5.2 mm, 5.4 mm, 5.6 mm, 5.8 mm or 6 mm, etc.; the thickness is 30 to 300 μm, for example, it can be 30 μm, 50 μm, 80 μm, 100 μm, 130 μm, 150 μm, 180 μm, 200 μm, 230 μm, 250 μm, 280 μm or 300 μm, etc.
[0079] In one embodiment, the thickness of the positive electrode insulating partition is equal to the thickness of the positive electrode active layer.
[0080] In one embodiment, the thickness of the negative electrode insulating partition is equal to the thickness of the negative electrode active layer.
[0081] In one embodiment, during the roll-pressing composite, the composite position of the negative electrode sheet and the positive electrode sheet is controlled so that the edge of the negative electrode active layer along the unwinding direction exceeds the edge of the corresponding positive electrode active layer and falls into the positive electrode insulating partition, and the edge of the negative electrode insulating partition along the unwinding direction does not exceed the edge of the corresponding positive electrode insulating partition.
[0082] In one embodiment, the cut slices are located in the positive electrode insulation partition and the negative electrode insulation partition.
[0083] It should be noted that when the battery cell structure contains both the positive electrode insulating partition and the negative electrode insulating partition, in order to avoid cutting the slices into the positive electrode active layer and the negative electrode active layer, the most suitable slicing position should be determined in the overlapping area of the positive electrode insulating partition and the negative electrode insulating partition's positive projection onto the solid electrolyte membrane.
[0084] In one embodiment, after cutting, the remaining width of the positive electrode insulation partition or the negative electrode insulation partition in the battery cell structure is 0.5 to 5 mm, for example, it can be 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.8 mm, 2 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.8 mm, 3 mm, 3.3 mm, 3.5 mm, 3.8 mm, 4 mm, 4.2 mm, 4.5 mm, 4.8 mm or 5 mm, etc.
[0085] In one embodiment, in a direction perpendicular to the unwinding direction, both ends of all positive electrode insulating partitions are respectively connected to corresponding positive electrode insulating edges, and the positive electrode insulating edges and the positive electrode insulating partitions constitute a positive electrode insulating frame.
[0086] In one embodiment, in a direction perpendicular to the unwinding direction, both ends of all negative electrode insulating partitions are respectively connected to corresponding negative electrode insulating edges, and the negative electrode insulating edges and the negative electrode insulating partitions constitute a negative electrode insulating frame; the size of the negative electrode insulating edge in the direction perpendicular to the unwinding direction is smaller than that of the corresponding positive electrode insulating edge, and at the same time, the size of the negative electrode active layer in the direction perpendicular to the unwinding direction is larger than that of the corresponding positive electrode active layer.
[0087] Taking into account that the size of the positive electrode active layer and the negative electrode active layer are usually kept the same in the coating width (referring to the size perpendicular to the unwinding direction), the basic concept of the present invention is to set an insulating partition in the coating length direction. Furthermore, of course, it is also possible to make the size of each negative electrode active layer larger than the corresponding size of each positive electrode active layer in the coating width direction as needed. In this case, it is necessary to set a corresponding insulating part, that is, the insulating edge. The insulating edge is provided on both sides of each active layer perpendicular to the unwinding direction (i.e., the upper side and the lower side), and the upper and lower insulating edges connect the two ends of the insulating partition on the left and right sides of each active layer to form a frame with an outer contour shape feature (such as a rectangle), and multiple frames are arranged end to end along the unwinding direction, which is equivalent to forming a network (grid) of insulating frames on the current collector, and the active layer fills the blank parts of the grid (coating area) one by one. It can be understood that, similar to the relationship between the positive electrode insulation partition and the negative electrode insulation partition, the size of the negative electrode insulation edge in the direction perpendicular to the unwinding direction should be smaller than the corresponding positive electrode insulation edge to ensure that the positive electrode insulation edge can receive the edge of the negative electrode active layer in the direction perpendicular to the unwinding direction.
[0088] After understanding the purpose of the above-mentioned insulating partitions and insulating frames, further, the widths of the positive insulating partitions on the left and right sides of each positive active layer may not be equal, but they must still meet the appropriate dimensional relationship with the widths of the negative insulating partitions on the left and right sides of the corresponding negative active layer. Similarly, the widths of the positive insulating edges on the upper and lower sides of each positive active layer may be different, but they must still meet the appropriate dimensional relationship with the widths of the negative insulating edges on the upper and lower sides of the corresponding negative active layer. Furthermore, the frame shape of each positive insulating frame and the corresponding negative insulating frame can not only be rectangular, but can also be adjusted to square, parallelogram, or even triangular and elliptical frames according to design and needs.
[0089] In one embodiment, the size of the negative electrode active layer in the direction perpendicular to the unwinding direction is 2 to 6 mm larger than the corresponding positive electrode active layer, for example, it can be 2 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.8 mm, 3 mm, 3.3 mm, 3.5 mm, 3.8 mm, 4 mm, 4.2 mm, 4.4 mm, 4.6 mm, 4.8 mm, 5 mm, 5.2 mm, 5.4 mm, 5.6 mm, 5.8 mm or 6 mm, etc.
[0090] In one embodiment, the positive electrode insulation edge has a dimension in a direction perpendicular to the unwinding direction of 1-20 mm, for example 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm, 10 mm, 11 mm, 12 mm, 13 mm, 14 mm, 15 mm, 16 mm, 17 mm, 18 mm, 19 mm, or 20 mm, etc.; and a thickness of 30-300 μm, for example 30 μm, 50 μm, 80 μm, 100 μm, 130 μm, 150 μm, 180 μm, 200 μm, 230 μm, 250 μm, 280 μm, or 300 μm, etc.
[0091] In one embodiment, the negative electrode insulation edge has a dimension in the unwinding direction of 2-6 mm less than the corresponding positive electrode insulation partition, for example 2 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.8 mm, 3 mm, 3.3 mm, 3.5 mm, 3.8 mm, 4 mm, 4.2 mm, 4.4 mm, 4.6 mm, 4.8 mm, 5 mm, 5.2 mm, 5.4 mm, 5.6 mm, 5.8 mm, or 6 mm, etc.; and a thickness of 30-300 μm, for example 30 μm, 50 μm, 80 μm, 100 μm, 130 μm, 150 μm, 180 μm, 200 μm, 230 μm, 250 μm, 280 μm, or 300 μm, etc.
[0092] In one embodiment, the thickness of the positive electrode insulation edge is equal to the thickness of the positive electrode insulation partition.
[0093] In one embodiment, the thickness of the negative electrode insulation edge is equal to the thickness of the negative electrode insulation partition.
[0094] In one embodiment, in the roll-to-roll compounding, the compounding position is controlled so that the edge of the negative electrode active layer in a direction perpendicular to the unwinding direction exceeds the edge of the corresponding positive electrode active layer and falls into the positive electrode insulation edge, and the edge of the negative electrode insulation edge in a direction perpendicular to the unwinding direction does not exceed the edge of the corresponding positive electrode insulation edge.
[0095] In one embodiment, the cutting further comprises trimming the positive electrode insulation edge and / or the negative electrode insulation edge, and after the cutting, the remaining dimension of the positive electrode insulation edge and / or the negative electrode insulation edge in a direction perpendicular to the unwinding direction is 0.5-5 mm, for example 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.8 mm, 2 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.8 mm, 3 mm, 3.3 mm, 3.5 mm, 3.8 mm, 4 mm, 4.2 mm, 4.5 mm, 4.8 mm, or 5 mm, etc.
[0096] In one embodiment, the cutting equipment includes a metal die-cutting machine or a laser die-cutting machine, and the dimensional accuracy of the cutting is controlled to not exceed ±0.1 mm.
[0097] In one embodiment, when forming the negative electrode active layer, the edges of the negative electrode active layer that are insulated from the negative electrodes on both sides are controlled to retain a negative electrode buffer gap.
[0098] In one embodiment, the size of the negative electrode buffer gap is ≤0.3 mm, for example, it can be 0.05 mm, 0.1 mm, 0.13 mm, 0.15 mm, 0.18 mm, 0.2 mm, 0.22 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.28 mm or 0.3 mm.

[0101] It should be noted that, considering that the porosity of the positive electrode active coating and the negative electrode active coating is greater than that of the insulating partition, the insulating edge and the insulating frame, the compression ratio is greater, and the thickness of the active layer during coating can even be greater than the thickness of the insulating partition, so as to facilitate the subsequent full compression of the active layer to form an active layer that meets the compaction density requirements. In order to facilitate the extension and compression of the active layer and avoid the active layer overlapping with the insulating frame after extension during subsequent roller pressing and compounding, the present invention reserves sufficient extension space by setting a buffer gap. It should be noted that even if the positive electrode buffer gap is set, it should be ensured that the edge of the negative electrode active layer in the unwinding direction can fall onto the positive electrode insulating partition, rather than falling into the positive electrode buffer gap; similarly, when the negative electrode buffer gap is set, the edge of the adjacent negative electrode insulating partition in the unwinding direction should also be kept within the edge of the corresponding positive electrode insulating partition, so as to ensure that the positive electrode insulating partition has sufficient effective position (area) to receive the negative electrode active layers on both sides.

[0107] In one embodiment, the solvent comprises N-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP) and / or pure water.
[0108] In one embodiment, the insulation material accounts for 50% to 95% and the binder accounts for 5% to 50%, for example, the insulation material can be 50%, 52%, 55%, 58%, 60%, 63%, 65%, 68%, 70%, 73%, 75%, 78%, 80%, 83%, 85%, 88%, 90%, 92% or 95%, etc., and the binder can be 5%, 8%, 10%, 12%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 25%, 28%, 30%, 33%, 35%, 38%, 40%, 42%, 45%, 48% or 50%, etc., based on the total mass of the insulation material and the binder being 100%.

[0110] In one embodiment, the coating method comprises gravure coating.
[0111] The present application does not specifically limit the selection of the positive electrode current collector and the negative electrode current collector, and exemplary, the current collector comprises at least one of aluminum foil, copper foil, stainless steel foil or composite foil (such as carbon-coated aluminum foil, carbon-coated copper foil), which should be reasonably selected according to actual design and needs.
[0112] The present invention does not specifically limit the composition and formation method (coating method) of the positive electrode active layer and the negative electrode active layer. Usually, the active layer includes an active material, a conductive agent and a binder, and may also include a solid electrolyte or an additive for pre-lithiation; the method for forming the positive electrode active layer and the negative electrode active layer includes coating (such as extrusion coating) and drying the positive electrode slurry or the negative electrode slurry; the positive electrode slurry and the negative electrode slurry should also include solvents and other necessary components of the slurry. Furthermore, when coating, the slurry coating can be accurately controlled to fall into the coating area within the insulating frame through CCD detection (Charge-Coupled Device), coating gasket size design and control of the opening and closing time of the coating valve / reflux valve.
[0113] In one embodiment, the roller-combining equipment includes a roller press, the temperature of which can be adjusted in the range of room temperature (15-35°C) to 150°C, the pressure can be adjusted in the range of 0-100T, the roller diameter is 300-1000mm, the effective roller width is ≤1000mm, the roller gap working range is 0-5mm, and the operating speed is ≤50m / min; further, it is equipped with three sets of unwinding tension and correction control devices, one set of winding tension and correction control devices.

[0115] It is understandable that the manufacturing method of the battery cell structure of the present invention can realize a continuous unwinding and winding manufacturing process before the cutting and slicing is performed, that is, by unwinding the positive electrode current collector to form a positive electrode insulating partition (or further a positive electrode insulating frame) and forming a positive electrode active layer, it can be selected to be wound up to obtain a positive electrode coil, and then the positive electrode coil is unwound for subsequent roll-pressing and compounding; similarly, the negative electrode current collector can be continuously coated after unwinding to form a continuous negative electrode active layer, or after forming a negative electrode insulating partition (or further a negative electrode insulating frame) and a negative electrode active layer, it can be selected to be wound up to obtain a negative electrode coil, and then the negative electrode coil is unwound for subsequent roll-pressing and compounding. When the positive electrode coil and the negative electrode coil are unwound, the solid electrolyte membrane coil also needs to be unwound at the same time. After rolling and compounding, a layer structure of negative electrode sheet / solid electrolyte membrane / positive electrode sheet is formed. It can be selected to be wound up to obtain a composite electrode coil, and then unwound and cut to obtain individual battery cell structures.
[0116] It is understood that in the present invention, relative to each positive electrode active layer and the corresponding negative electrode active layer, the size of each corresponding solid electrolyte membrane should be greater than or equal to the positive electrode active layer and less than or equal to the negative electrode active layer.

[0118]
[0119] The units of H0, H1, W, and D are mm, the unit of F is T, and the unit of P is Pa.
[0120] In one embodiment, the P≤3 GPa, for example, it can be 3 GPa, 2.9 GPa, 2.8 GPa, 2.7 GPa, 2.6 GPa, 2.5 GPa, 2.4 GPa, 2.3 GPa, 2.2 GPa, 2.1 GPa, 2 GPa, 1.9 GPa, 1.8 GPa, 1.7 GPa, 1.6 GPa, 1.5 GPa, 1.3 GPa, 1 GPa, 0.8 GPa, 0.5 GPa, 0.3 GPa or 0.1 GPa, etc.
[0121] It should be noted that the effective rolling width W must at least cover (greater than or equal to) the sum of the width of the positive electrode active layer in the positive electrode roll and the width of the positive electrode insulating frame (especially the positive electrode insulating edge), and / or the effective rolling width W must at least cover (greater than or equal to) the sum of the width of the negative electrode active layer in the negative electrode roll and the width of the negative electrode insulating frame (especially the negative electrode insulating edge), and / or the effective rolling width W must at least cover (greater than or equal to) the width of the solid electrolyte membrane (roll).
[0122] The present invention uses roll-to-roll lamination instead of conventional isostatic pressing technology, so that the layer structure in the roll-to-roll lamination can be subjected to a pressure of up to 3 GPa, which is much greater than the working pressure of isostatic pressing (≤0.8 GPa), and can fully achieve densification.
