[0003] Currently, the design of high-power cylindrical lithium ion batteries usually adopts a full-tab design, that is, the positive and negative tabs are extended from opposite directions, and a full-tab flattening or rubbing technology is used for preparation. However, the full-tab rubbing structure can cause tab infiltration problems, especially poor middle tab infiltration, which can cause lithium precipitation at the beginning or during the later cycle, thereby affecting the kinetic performance of the lithium ion battery. SUMMARY

The center region is provided with a plurality of grooves, and a plurality of stripes are respectively arranged at intervals around the outer edge of each groove and are respectively communicated with the grooves, and the plurality of stripes extend in a direction away from the outer edge; along the thickness direction of the tab, the first projection area of a single groove is S1 mm 2 , along the extension direction of a single stripe, the single stripe has a second projection, and the sum of the second projection areas of the plurality of stripes is S2 mm 2 , 3≤S1 / S2≤12, and optionally, 6≤S1 / S2≤8; 1.5×10 -5S2≤0.45, optionally, 0.0007≤S2≤0.15.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by a person skilled in the art based on the present application belong to the scope of protection of the present application.
[0025] It should be noted that in the specific embodiments of the present application, the present application is explained by taking a lithium ion battery as an example of a cylindrical secondary battery, but the cylindrical secondary battery of the present application is not limited to a lithium ion battery. The specific technical solutions are as follows:
[0026] A first aspect of the present application provides a cylindrical secondary battery, comprising a pole piece, the pole piece comprising a current collector and a material layer located on at least one surface of the current collector, along the width direction of the pole piece after being developed, the material layer comprises a first edge region, a center region and a second edge region in sequence; based on the width of the material layer, the width ratio L1 of the first edge region is 10% to 30%, the width ratio L2 of the center region is 40% to 80%, and the width ratio L3 of the second edge region is 10% to 30%, for example, the width ratio L1 of the first edge region can be 10%, 12%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 22%, 25%, 28%, 30%, or a range composed of any two of the above values, the width ratio L2 of the center region can be 40%, 42%, 45%, 48%, 50%, 52%, 55%, 58%, 60%, 62%, 65%, 68%, 70%, 72%, 75%, 78%, 80%, or a range composed of any two of the above values, and the width ratio L3 of the second edge region can be 10%, 12%, 15%, 18%, 20%, 22%, 25%, 28%, 30%, or a range composed of any two of the above values. The center region is provided with a plurality of grooves, a plurality of stripes are respectively and separately arranged around the outer edges of each groove, and the plurality of stripes respectively communicate with the grooves and extend in a direction away from the outer edges. Along the thickness direction of the pole piece, the first projection area of a single groove is S1 mm 2 , along the extension direction of the single stripe, the single stripe has a second projection, the sum of the second projection areas of the plurality of stripes is S2 mm 2 , 3≤S1 / S2≤12, optionally, 6≤S1 / S2≤8; for example, the value of S1 / S2 can be 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 or a range composed of any two of them. 1.5x10 -5 ≤S2≤0.45, optionally, 0.0007≤S2≤0.15; for example, the value of S2 can be 1.5x10 -5 , 1.8x10 -5 , 2x10 -5 , 5x10 -5 , 8x10 -5 , 1x10 -4 , 3x10 -4 , 5x10 -4 , 7x10 -4 , 8x10 -4 , 0.001, 0.003, 0.005, 0.008, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.08, 0.1, 0.12, 0.15, 0.18, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.42, 0.45 or a range composed of any two of them.
[0027] In this application, for the convenience of understanding, it is defined that, in the unfolded state of the pole piece, the length direction of the pole piece itself is the X direction, the width direction of the pole piece itself is the Y direction, and the thickness direction of the pole piece itself is the Z direction. A three-dimensional coordinate system is established along the X direction, the Y direction and the Z direction. As shown in FIGS. Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the pole piece profile in Figure 1 is cut along Q-Q to obtain Figure 3 . The pole piece 001 comprises a current collector 10 and a material layer 20 located on one surface of the current collector. Along the width direction Y of the unfolded pole piece 001, the material layer 20 comprises a first edge region 21, a center region 22 and a second edge region 23 in sequence. The center region 22 is provided with grooves 221, and the outer edges surrounding each groove 221 are respectively provided with a stripe 222 which is in communication with the groove 221, and the stripe 222 extends in a direction away from the outer edge. Along the thickness direction Z of the pole piece 001, the groove 221 has a first projection, and along the extension direction of the stripe 222, the stripe 222 has a second projection.
[0028] When the value of S1 / S2 is too small, for example, less than the lower limit of this application, the storage space of the electrolyte on the electrode is insufficient, resulting in poor wetting effect of the electrolyte on the electrode, easy lithium plating on the electrode, and decreased cycle performance of the secondary battery. When the value of S1 / S2 is too large, for example, greater than the upper limit of this application, excessive local accumulation of electrolyte on the electrode can easily lead to side reactions, increase impedance, cause lithium plating at the negative electrode interface, reduce the thermal stability of the secondary battery, and cause side reactions between the electrolyte and the active material in the material layer, resulting in loss of active lithium, thereby reducing the cycle stability of the secondary battery. At the same time, excessive loss of active material content in the material layer leads to a decrease in the energy density of the secondary battery. This application creates grooves in the central region of the electrode and stripes along the outer edge of each groove, allowing the stripes to communicate with the grooves. The grooves provide more space for electrolyte to accumulate on the electrode, storing more electrolyte and effectively reducing the risk of insufficient electrolyte wetting in the center of the electrode. The stripes facilitate rapid electrolyte diffusion on the electrode, improving electrolyte flow and enhancing the wetting effect, especially in the center. The combination of grooves and stripes works synergistically to better achieve electrolyte conduction and / or micro-area storage, effectively improving the electrolyte wetting efficiency and performance on the electrode, thus reducing the risk of lithium plating during cycling and improving the lithium plating performance and cycle performance of the cylindrical secondary battery. In this application, those skilled in the art will understand that "multiple stripes communicating with grooves" means that the stripes spaced around the outer edge of each groove are connected to the grooves they surround.
[0029] In one or more embodiments, along the width direction after the electrode is unfolded, at least one stripe penetrates the first end face of the first edge region away from the central region or the second end face of the second edge region away from the central region. For example... Figure 2 As shown, along the width direction Y of the unfolded electrode 001, there is a stripe 222 that penetrates the first end face 211 of the first edge region 21 away from the central region 22, and another stripe 222 that penetrates the second end face 231 of the second edge region 23 away from the central region 22. This arrangement facilitates the introduction of electrolyte into the center of the electrode, allowing the electrolyte to flow more effectively into the grooves through the stripes. The combination of grooves and stripes enhances electrolyte conduction and / or micro-area storage, effectively improving the wetting efficiency and performance of the electrolyte on the electrode. This significantly reduces the risk of lithium plating due to insufficient wetting of the negative electrode during cycling, thus improving the lithium plating performance and cycle performance of the cylindrical secondary battery.
[0030] In one or more embodiments, there is one stripe that extends through the first end surface of the first edge region away from the center region. In one or more embodiments, there is one stripe that extends through the second end surface of the second edge region away from the center region. In one or more embodiments, there is one stripe that extends through the first end surface of the first edge region away from the center region, and there is another stripe that extends through the second end surface of the second edge region away from the center region. In one or more embodiments, there are two or more stripes that extend through the first end surface of the first edge region away from the center region. In one or more embodiments, there are two or more stripes that extend through the second end surface of the second edge region away from the center region. In one or more embodiments, there are two or more stripes that extend through the first end surface of the first edge region away from the center region, and there are two or more stripes that extend through the second end surface of the second edge region away from the center region. With the above arrangement, the electrolyte can be introduced into the middle of the pole piece, and the electrolyte can flow into the groove through the stripe better. The groove and the stripe are arranged in combination, which better realizes the electrolyte flow guiding and / or micro-zone storage effect, and can effectively improve the wetting efficiency and performance of the electrolyte on the pole piece, thereby effectively reducing the risk of lithium precipitation of the pole piece due to insufficient wetting of the negative pole piece during the cycle process, and improving the lithium precipitation performance and cycle performance of the cylindrical secondary battery.
[0031] In the thickness direction of the pole piece, the single groove has a first projection, and the shape of the first projection is not particularly limited in the present application as long as the purpose of the present application can be achieved. For example, the shape of the first projection can be at least one of a triangle, an arc (an area smaller than a semicircle with the same radius), a semicircle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, a square, or a pentagon and above polygon. In the extension direction of the single stripe, the single stripe has a second projection, which refers to a plane formed by the width direction and the depth direction of the stripe itself in the present application. The shape of the second projection is not particularly limited in the present application as long as the purpose of the present application can be achieved. For example, the shape of the second projection can be a triangle, an arc (an area smaller than a semicircle with the same radius), a semicircle, a rectangle, a trapezoid, or a square.
[0032] In one or more embodiments, as Figure 3As shown, along the thickness direction Z of the pole piece 001, the maximum depth of the single groove 221 is D1 μm, the maximum depth of the single stripe 222 is D2 μm, 0.5≤D2 / D1≤0.9, optionally, 0.6≤D2 / D1≤0.8, for example, the value of D2 / D1 can be 0.5, 0.53, 0.55, 0.58, 0.6, 0.62, 0.65, 0.68, 0.7, 0.72, 0.75, 0.78, 0.8, 0.83, 0.85, 0.88, 0.9 or a range formed by any two of them; 3≤D1≤60, optionally, 10≤D1≤45, for example, the value of D1 can be 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, 20, 22, 25, 28, 30, 32, 35, 38, 40, 42, 45, 48, 50, 52, 55, 58, 60 or a range formed by any two of them. By adjusting the value of D2 / D1 and the value of D1 within the above range, it is beneficial to reduce the risk of excessive electrolyte accumulation in the local part of the pole piece and insufficient storage space of the electrolyte on the pole piece, while reducing the side reaction between the electrolyte and the active material in the material layer, and the electrolyte can flow quickly on the pole piece through the stripe. The groove and the stripe are arranged in combination, which is beneficial to improve the infiltration efficiency and performance of the electrolyte to the pole piece, improve the infiltration effect of the electrolyte to the pole piece, thereby reducing the risk of lithium precipitation of the pole piece in the cycle process, and improving the lithium precipitation performance and cycle performance of the secondary battery.
[0033] In one or more embodiments, as Figure 3 As shown, the thickness of the material layer (not labeled) is T μm, 0.5≤D1 / T≤0.9, for example, the value of D1 / T can be 0.5, 0.52, 0.55, 0.58, 0.6, 0.62, 0.65, 0.68, 0.7, 0.72, 0.75, 0.78, 0.8, 0.82, 0.85, 0.88, 0.9 or a range formed by any two of them. By adjusting the value of D1 / T within the above range, it is beneficial to improve the infiltration efficiency and performance of the electrolyte to the pole piece, improve the infiltration effect of the electrolyte to the pole piece, while it is also beneficial to reduce the risk of the material layer being punched by the groove when the groove and the stripe are arranged, improve the cycle performance and lithium precipitation performance of the secondary battery while considering the safety performance of the secondary battery. In the present application, the thickness T of the material layer can be adjusted by means known to those skilled in the art, for example, when the slurry is coated on the surface of the current collector, under the condition that the solid content of the slurry is constant, the thickness T of the material layer can be increased by increasing the coating weight or decreased by reducing the coating weight; the thickness T of the material layer can also be reduced by increasing the cold pressing pressure or increased by reducing the cold pressing pressure when the pole piece is cold pressed.
[0034] In one or more embodiments, as Figure 1As shown, along the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the single stripe 222, the width of the second projection is W2 μm, 10≤W2≤400, optionally, 50≤W2≤200, for example, the value of W2 can be 10, 30, 50, 80, 100, 120, 150, 180, 200, 220, 250, 280, 300, 320, 350, 380, 400 or a range formed by any two of them. By adjusting the value of W2 within the above range, it is beneficial to the uniform distribution of the stripes on the surface of the pole piece, the electrolyte flows through the stripes on the pole piece, improves the wetting effect of the electrolyte on the pole piece, especially the middle part of the pole piece, effectively improves the wetting efficiency and wetting performance of the electrolyte on the pole piece, while reducing the processing difficulty in the actual production process, and reducing the risk of more loss of active material, thereby reducing the risk of lithium precipitation of the pole piece in the cycle process, improving the lithium precipitation performance and cycle performance of the secondary battery.
[0035] In one or more embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, along the thickness direction Z direction of the pole piece 001, the diameter of the maximum circumscribed circle of the first projection is W1 μm, 1.5≤W1 / W2≤8, optionally, 2≤W1 / W2≤5, for example, the value of W1 / W2 can be 1.5, 1.8, 2, 2.2, 2.5, 2.8, 3, 3.2, 3.5, 3.8, 4, 4.2, 4.5, 4.8, 5, 5.2, 5.5, 5.8, 6, 6.2, 6.5, 6.8, 7, 7.2, 7.5, 7.8, 8 or a range formed by any two of them. By adjusting the value of W1 / W2 within the above range, it is beneficial to reduce the risk of electrolyte gathering too much in the local part of the pole piece, resulting in uneven distribution of electrolyte on the whole pole piece, and the risk of excessive side reactions between electrolyte and active material in the material layer, leading to the decline of the cycle performance of the secondary battery, while reducing the risk of insufficient storage space of electrolyte on the pole piece. The groove and the stripe are arranged in combination, which is beneficial to improve the wetting efficiency and wetting performance of the electrolyte on the pole piece, improve the wetting effect of the electrolyte on the pole piece, thereby reducing the risk of lithium precipitation of the pole piece in the cycle process, improving the lithium precipitation performance and cycle performance of the secondary battery.
[0036] In one or more embodiments, a plurality of stripes are distributed equiangularly around the outer edge of each groove, as Figure 1As shown, the included angle formed by the extension lines of the center lines of two adjacent stripes 222 is A°, and 20≤A≤180, and optionally, 60≤A≤120. For example, the value of A can be 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, or a range formed by any two of them. By adjusting the value of A within the above range, the number of stripes is moderate, which is conducive to the uniform distribution of the stripes on the pole piece, the flow of the electrolyte through the stripes on the pole piece, the improvement of the electrolyte infiltration efficiency and performance of the pole piece, and the reduction of the risk of excessive side reactions between the electrolyte enriched in the groove and the active material in the material layer, which leads to the decline of the cycle performance of the secondary battery. In addition, it reduces the processing difficulty in the actual production process and improves the manufacturability of the pole piece, so that the secondary battery has good lithium precipitation performance and cycle performance.
[0037] In one or more embodiments, as shown, Figure 3 As shown, the distance between two adjacent grooves 221 along the length direction X of the unfolded pole piece 001 is R mm, and 3≤R≤12, and optionally, 5≤R≤9. For example, the value of R can be 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, or a range formed by any two of them. By adjusting the value of R within the above range, the distance between two adjacent grooves is moderate, which is conducive to reducing the risk of insufficient electrolyte infiltration of the pole piece, and reducing the risk of local collapse of the material layer in the processing process, improving the electrolyte infiltration efficiency and performance of the pole piece, and improving the electrolyte infiltration effect of the pole piece. Thus, the lithium precipitation performance and cycle performance of the secondary battery are improved. In this application, the distance between two adjacent grooves refers to the distance between the geometric centers of two adjacent grooves along the length direction of the unfolded pole piece.
[0038] The length of the stripe is not particularly limited in this application, and those skilled in the art can set it according to the actual specifications of the pole piece and the distance between two adjacent grooves, as long as the purpose of this application can be achieved. In an embodiment of the present application, the stripe arranged at intervals around the outer edge of each groove can also communicate with the adjacent groove along its extension direction.
[0039] In one or more embodiments, the pole piece is a positive pole piece; and / or, a negative pole piece. By arranging grooves and stripes on the central region of the positive pole piece and / or the central region of the negative pole piece, the electrolyte infiltration efficiency and performance of the positive pole piece and / or the negative pole piece, especially the central region, can be improved, the electrolyte infiltration effect of the positive pole piece and / or the negative pole piece can be improved, and the lithium precipitation performance and cycle performance of the secondary battery can be improved. When grooves and stripes are arranged on the central region of the negative pole piece, the lithium precipitation performance and cycle performance of the secondary battery can be further improved.
[0040] In one or more embodiments, the grooves arranged in the central region of the material layer are arranged in a matrix. In another embodiment of the present application, a plurality of rows of grooves are arranged in the central region of the material layer along the width direction of the developed electrode plate, and the spacing between adjacent rows is equal. The present application does not particularly limit the number of rows of grooves, and a person skilled in the art can set the number of rows of grooves according to the actual specifications of the electrode plate, as long as the purpose of the present application can be achieved. For example, the number of rows of grooves can be 1 to 6.
[0041] In the present application, when the electrode plate is a positive electrode plate, “the electrode plate comprises a current collector and a material layer on at least one surface of the current collector” means that the positive electrode plate comprises a positive current collector and a positive material layer on at least one surface of the positive current collector. The above-mentioned “a positive material layer on at least one surface of the positive current collector” means that the positive material layer can be arranged on one surface of the positive current collector along the thickness direction of the positive current collector, or can be arranged on both surfaces of the positive current collector along the thickness direction of the positive current collector. It should be noted that the “surface” here can be the entire region of the surface of the positive current collector, or can be part of the surface of the positive current collector, and the present application does not particularly limit it, as long as the purpose of the present application can be achieved. The present application does not particularly limit the positive current collector, as long as the purpose of the present application can be achieved. For example, the positive current collector can comprise an aluminum foil, an aluminum alloy foil, or a composite current collector (such as an aluminum-carbon composite current collector), etc. The positive material layer of the present application comprises a positive active material, and the present application does not particularly limit the type of positive active material, as long as the purpose of the present application can be achieved. For example, the positive active material can comprise lithium nickel cobalt manganese oxide (LiNi 0.90 Co 0.05 Mn 0.05at least one of O2 (NCM955), NCM811, NCM622, NCM523, NCM111), lithium nickel cobalt aluminate, lithium iron phosphate, lithium-rich manganese-based material, lithium cobaltate (LiCoO2), lithium manganate, lithium manganese iron phosphate, or lithium titanate, etc. In the present application, the positive active material can also include a non-metal element, for example, the non-metal element includes at least one of fluorine, phosphorus, boron, chlorine, silicon, or sulfur. In the present application, the thickness of the positive current collector is not particularly limited as long as the purpose of the present application can be achieved.
