[0002] At present, in the manufacturing process of electrochemical devices, the battery quality is greatly affected by the cell packaging, especially the top edge heat sealing of soft package cells, i.e. top sealing, which needs to seal the outer tab (with tab adhesive) with the packaging bag by heat sealing to isolate the inside of the cell from the outside, preventing external air and moisture from entering the cell; at the same time, preventing electrolyte from leaking to the outside of the cell.

[0036] The content of the present application is further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0037] As Figure 1As shown, in the first aspect of the present application, an electrochemical device 100 is provided. The electrochemical device 100 includes an electrode assembly 10, a packaging bag 20, tab 30, and tab glue 40. The electrode assembly 10 includes a positive electrode plate, a separator, and a negative electrode plate, which are formed by stacking or winding; the electrode assembly 10 is accommodated in the packaging bag 20 for storing or releasing electrical energy. The packaging bag 20 includes a sealing portion 21. The tab 30 is connected to the electrode assembly 10 and extends out from the sealing portion 21. The portion of the tab 30 extending out of the sealing portion 21 is used to connect to a circuit board assembly or an external electrical device.
[0038] Optionally, the battery 100 includes two tabs 30. The two tabs 30 are arranged at intervals and are respectively connected to the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate in the electrode assembly 10, so that the polarities of the two tabs 30 are opposite.
[0039] As Figure 2 shown, the tab glue 40 is arranged on the side wall of the tab 30 along the circumferential direction. The tab glue 40 is of a closed type. The tab glue 40 includes a first glue layer 41, a second glue layer 42, and a third glue layer 43 that are connected in sequence from the inside to the outside. The inner side of the first glue layer 41 is connected to the tab 30, and the outer side of the third glue layer 43 is connected to the inner side of the sealing portion 21.
[0040] The relationship among the melting point T1 of the first glue layer, the melting point T2 of the second glue layer, and the melting point T3 of the third glue layer satisfies: T1 < T2 < T3; where, 130°C ≤ T1 ≤ 150°C, 160°C ≤ T2 ≤ 180°C, 190°C ≤ T3 ≤ 200°C. During the heat sealing process of the tab glue, the third glue layer 43 is first heated and melted. The melting point of the third glue layer 43 is the highest, which is beneficial to reducing the risk of short circuit between the packaging bag 20 and the tab 30 caused by over-melting of the third glue layer 43 during heating, improving the sealing effect, and reducing the risk of liquid leakage; the second glue layer 42 plays a role in heat conduction and support, transferring heat to the first glue layer 41, making the inner side of the first glue layer 41 connected to the tab 30, and improving the adhesion between the first glue layer 41 and the tab 30; at the same time, reducing the risk of glue overflow caused by the deformation rate of the first glue layer 41 due to pressure and high temperature, and further reducing the risk of corrosion of the electrode assembly 10 and liquid leakage at the tab 30 due to poor encapsulation; thereby improving the safety performance of the electrochemical device.
[0041] When the temperature of the electrode assembly 10 rises abnormally, the temperature of the tab 30 also rises accordingly. When reaching the melting point range of the first glue layer 41, the first glue layer 41 will melt to reduce the encapsulation strength of the connection area between the first glue layer 41 and the packaging bag 20, and further reduce the encapsulation strength between the tab glue 40 and the packaging bag 20, so as to facilitate the gas generated at high temperature to rush out of the connection area between the tab glue 40 and the packaging bag 20, reduce the heat accumulation and deformation degree inside the electrode assembly, and improve the safety of the electrochemical device.
[0042] By setting the lower limit of the melting point of the first adhesive layer 41 to 130℃, the risk of melting of the first adhesive layer 41 when the electrode assembly 10 normally heats up is reduced; by setting the upper limit of the melting point of the first adhesive layer 41 to 150℃, the first adhesive layer 41 melts within the melting point range of 130℃ to 150℃, reducing the risk of further increasing the electrode assembly temperature after increasing to 150℃, which poses a safety hazard.
[0043] Optionally, T1 can be one or a range value consisting of any two of 130℃, 132℃, 134℃, 136℃, 138℃, 140℃, 142℃, 144℃, 146℃, 148℃, 150℃.
[0044] Optionally, T2 can be one or a range value consisting of any two of 160℃, 162℃, 164℃, 166℃, 168℃, 170℃, 172℃, 174℃, 176℃, 178℃, 180℃.
[0045] Optionally, T3 can be one or a range value consisting of any two of 190℃, 191℃, 192℃, 193℃, 194℃, 195℃, 196℃, 197℃, 198℃, 199℃, 200℃.
[0046] In some embodiments, the sum of the thicknesses of the first adhesive layer, the second adhesive layer and the third adhesive layer along the thickness direction of the tab is 110-210μm. While limiting the packaging volume occupied by the tab adhesive, the melting points of the first adhesive layer, the second adhesive layer and the third adhesive layer are adapted to the heat sealing temperature of the electrochemical device 100, improving the sealing effect of the tab adhesive and thus improving the safety performance of the electrochemical device.
[0047] Optionally, the sum of the thicknesses of the first adhesive layer, the second adhesive layer and the third adhesive layer along the thickness direction of the tab can be one or a range value consisting of any two of 110μm, 115μm, 120μm, 125μm, 130μm, 135μm, 140μm, 145μm, 150μm, 155μm, 160μm, 165μm, 170μm, 175μm, 180μm, 185μm, 190μm, 195μm, 200μm, 205μm, 210μm; preferably 135-185μm.
[0048] In some embodiments, along the thickness direction of the tab, the thickness percentage of the first adhesive layer is 20-30%, the thickness percentage of the second adhesive layer is 40-60%, and the thickness percentage of the third adhesive layer is 20-30%, based on the sum of the thicknesses of the first adhesive layer, the second adhesive layer, and the third adhesive layer; during packaging, the packaging bag 20 and the tab adhesive 40 can be completely fused without obvious interface, thereby improving the packaging strength between the tab adhesive 40 and the packaging bag 20, improving the sealing effect, and reducing the risk of liquid leakage. The thickness of the second adhesive layer 42 is higher than the thicknesses of the first adhesive layer 41 and the third adhesive layer 43, which can ensure that the second adhesive layer 42 is not over-fused or not fused enough when heated during packaging, so that the second adhesive layer 42 and the first adhesive layer 41 and the third adhesive layer 43 do not have an interface or delamination, which reduces the packaging strength.
[0049] Optionally, the thickness percentage of the first adhesive layer 41 is one or a range value consisting of any two of 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, and 30%.
[0050] Optionally, the thickness percentage of the second adhesive layer 42 is one or a range value consisting of any two of 40%, 41%, 42%, 43%, 44%, 45%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, and 60%.
[0051] Optionally, the thickness percentage of the third adhesive layer 43 can be one or a range value consisting of any two of 20%, 21%, 22%, 23%, 24%, 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, and 30%.
[0052] It should be noted that during the packaging process, the first adhesive layer 41 is in contact with the tab 30, and the thickness of the first adhesive layer 41 at the position corresponding to the tab 30 will decrease under the extrusion of the tab 30. In this application, the thickness of the first adhesive layer 41 is the initial thickness of the first adhesive layer 41 before being extruded by the tab 30, i.e. Figure 2 In this application, the thickness of the first adhesive layer 41 at the position corresponding to the tab 30 is the initial thickness of the first adhesive layer 41 before being extruded by the tab 30.
[0053] Further, the thickness percentage of the second adhesive layer 42 is 44-50% to further improve the stability of the second adhesive layer 42 in supporting between the tab 30 and the sealing portion 21, thereby improving the safety performance of the electrochemical device 100.
[0054] It is understood that, in some embodiments, provided that the thickness of the second adhesive layer 42 is greater than the thickness of the third adhesive layer 43, the thickness of the first adhesive layer 41 of the third adhesive layer is greater than the thickness of the third adhesive layer 43, or the thickness of the first adhesive layer 41 is less than the thickness of the third adhesive layer 43, can enable the second adhesive layer 42 to have higher structural strength than the first adhesive layer 41 and the third adhesive layer 43, so that the second adhesive layer 42 has sufficient structural strength to play a supporting role in the tab 30 and the first encapsulation edge 21.
[0055] In some embodiments, along the width direction of the tab, the tab adhesive includes a first side portion 46 and a second side portion 47, the first side portion 46 and the second side portion 47 being connected between the top 44 and the bottom 45, and being disposed on both sides of the tab 30 along the width direction Y of the tab 30.
[0056] Along the width direction Y of the tab, the distance between the first side portion 46 and the second side portion 47 is 4.0-8.0 mm to increase the extension length of the bottom within the packaging bag 20, thereby increasing the sealing strength of the tab.
[0057] In some embodiments, along the width direction Y of the tab, the distance between the side of the tab 30 facing the first side 46 and the first side 46 is 0.8-1.5mm, and the distance between the side of the tab 30 facing the second side 47 and the second side 47 is 0.8-1.5mm, so that the tab adhesive 40 protrudes from both sides of the tab 30 in the width direction Y of the tab 30, thereby improving the sealing effect of the tab adhesive 40.
[0058] In some embodiments, along the width direction Y of the tab 30, the tab 30 is centrally disposed between the first side portion 46 and the second side portion 47, that is, the distance between the side of the tab 30 facing the first side portion 46 and the first side portion 46 is equal to the distance between the side of the tab 30 facing the second side portion 47 and the second side portion 47, so that the force on both sides of the tab 30 is uniform.
[0059] In some implementations, such as Figure 3 As shown, along the width direction Y of the tab, the first side portion 46 and the second side portion 47 include a fourth adhesive layer 51 and a fifth adhesive layer 52 stacked sequentially; along the thickness direction Z of the tab, the two ends of the fourth adhesive layer 51 are in contact with the first adhesive layer 41 and at least a portion of the second adhesive layer 42; the two ends of the fifth adhesive layer 52 are in contact with at least a portion of the second adhesive layer 42 and the third adhesive layer 43; the first adhesive layer 41, the second adhesive layer 42, the third adhesive layer 43, the fourth adhesive layer 51 and the fifth adhesive layer 52 together form a ring structure; the relationship between the melting point T4 of the fourth adhesive layer 51 and the melting point T5 of the fifth adhesive layer 52 satisfies: T4>T5, where 180℃≤T4≤200℃, 160℃≤T5<180℃.
[0060] In this application, the first side portion and the second side portion include the fourth adhesive layer and the fifth adhesive layer of the above structure, which can further improve the high temperature resistance and sealing performance of the tab adhesive.
[0061] In some embodiments, the thickness percentage of the fourth adhesive layer is 40-50% and the thickness percentage of the fifth adhesive layer is 50-60%, based on the sum of the thicknesses of the fourth and fifth adhesive layers.
[0062] In this application, the thickness percentages of the fourth and fifth adhesive layers are within the aforementioned range, which helps to ensure the layering melting and interfacial bonding strength during the heat sealing process, and optimizes the structural rigidity and sealing integrity in the tab width direction.
[0063] Specifically, based on the sum of the thicknesses of the fourth adhesive layer and the fifth adhesive layer, the thickness percentage of the fourth adhesive layer can be a range of one or any two of the following: 40%, 41%, 42%, 43%, 44%, 45%, 46%, 47%, 48%, 49%, and 50%.
[0064] Specifically, based on the sum of the thicknesses of the fourth and fifth adhesive layers, the thickness percentage of the fifth adhesive layer can be a range of one or any two of the following: 50%, 51%, 52%, 53%, 54%, 55%, 56%, 57%, 58%, 59%, and 60%.
[0065] In some implementations, such as Figure 4 As shown, along the width direction Y of the tab, the first side portion 46 and the second side portion 47 include a fourth adhesive layer 51, a fifth adhesive layer 52 and a sixth adhesive layer 53 stacked sequentially. Along the thickness direction Z of the tab, the two ends of the fourth adhesive layer 51 are in contact with the first adhesive layer 41; the two ends of the fifth adhesive layer 52 are in contact with the second adhesive layer 42; and the two ends of the sixth adhesive layer 53 are in contact with the third adhesive layer 43. The first adhesive layer 41, the second adhesive layer 42, the third adhesive layer 43, the fourth adhesive layer 51, the fifth adhesive layer 52 and the sixth adhesive layer 53 together form a ring structure. The relationship between the melting point T4 of the fourth adhesive layer 51, the melting point T5 of the fifth adhesive layer and the melting point T6 of the sixth adhesive layer satisfies: T4>T5>T6, where 180℃≤T4≤200℃, 160℃≤T5<180℃, and 130℃≤T6≤150℃.
[0066] In this application, the first side and the second side include the fourth adhesive layer, the fifth adhesive layer and the sixth adhesive layer of the above structure, which can prevent the edge temperature of the first side and the second side from being too low, resulting in sealing failure.
[0067] It is understandable that both ends of the fourth adhesive layer 51 can be in contact with at least a portion of the second adhesive layer 42.
[0068] It can be understood that the two ends of the fifth adhesive layer 52 can be in contact with at least one of at least part of the first adhesive layer 41 and at least part of the third adhesive layer 43.

[0070] Specifically, T4 can be one or a range value formed by any two of 180℃, 182℃, 184℃, 186℃, 188℃, 190℃, 192℃, 194℃, 196℃, 198℃, 200℃.
[0071] Specifically, T5 can be one or a range value formed by any two of 160℃, 162℃, 164℃, 166℃, 168℃, 170℃, 172℃, 174℃, 175℃, 177℃, 179℃.
[0072] Specifically, T6 can be one or a range value formed by any two of 130℃, 132℃, 134℃, 136℃, 138℃, 140℃, 142℃, 144℃, 146℃, 148℃, 150℃.
[0073] In some embodiments, based on the sum of the thicknesses of the fourth adhesive layer, the fifth adhesive layer and the sixth adhesive layer, the thickness percentage of the fourth adhesive layer is 25-35%, the thickness percentage of the fifth adhesive layer is 30-40%, and the thickness percentage of the sixth adhesive layer is 25-35%.
[0074] In this application, based on the sum of the thicknesses of the fourth adhesive layer, the fifth adhesive layer and the sixth adhesive layer, the thickness percentages of the fourth adhesive layer, the fifth adhesive layer and the sixth adhesive layer are within the above range, which is beneficial to improve the sealing reliability of heat sealing, strengthen the structural stability of the side structure, and also optimize the balanced stability of pressure relief.
[0075] If the thickness percentage of the fourth adhesive layer is too high, the first adhesive layer is not fully melted during heat sealing, and is not tightly bonded with the first adhesive layer, which is easy to cause interlayer gaps; at the same time, it will also inhibit the decrease of the packaging strength during pressure relief, leading to poor gas discharge, increasing the risk of high internal pressure in the battery; if the thickness percentage of the fourth adhesive layer is too low, it will lead to insufficient structural support of the tab adhesive, and the tab adhesive will be dissolved and cracked during heat sealing or pressure relief, which will damage the closed structure of the tab adhesive, and the high temperature resistance of the tab adhesive will be weakened, and the tab adhesive will be easy to stick or fail to seal at high temperature.
[0076] If the thickness percentage of the fifth adhesive layer is too high, the tab adhesive melts excessively during the heat sealing process, which is prone to overflow and increases the risk of liquid leakage. At the same time, the rigidity of the side tab adhesive is insufficient to resist internal pressure fluctuations. If the thickness percentage of the fifth adhesive layer is too low, the fourth and sixth adhesive layers cannot be effectively connected to the first, second, and third adhesive layers, and interface gaps may occur between the layers, resulting in insufficient tightness and increased liquid leakage channels, which increases the heat box test liquid leakage rate.
[0077] If the thickness percentage of the sixth adhesive layer is too high, it melts excessively at the beginning of heat sealing, which is prone to excessive adhesion with the aluminum plastic film. When the pressure is released, it softens too quickly, causing a sudden drop in packaging strength, which leads to excessive leakage of electrolyte. If the thickness percentage of the sixth adhesive layer is too low, the sealing and filling are insufficient, and it cannot completely cover the small gaps on the inside of the sealing part. Air and moisture can easily enter the battery interior. The anti-adhesion performance is weakened, and the incidence of adhesion with the inner wall of the packaging bag increases at high temperatures.
[0078] Specifically, based on the sum of the thicknesses of the fourth, fifth, and sixth adhesive layers, the thickness percentage of the fourth adhesive layer can be in the range of one or any two of 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, and 35%.
[0079] Specifically, based on the sum of the thicknesses of the fourth, fifth, and sixth adhesive layers, the thickness percentage of the fifth adhesive layer can be in the range of one or any two of 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, 35%, 36%, 37%, 38%, 39%, and 40%.
[0080] Specifically, based on the sum of the thicknesses of the fourth, fifth, and sixth adhesive layers, the thickness percentage of the fifth adhesive layer can be in the range of one or any two of 25%, 26%, 27%, 28%, 29%, 30%, 31%, 32%, 33%, 34%, and 35%.
[0081] In some embodiments, the fourth adhesive layer includes polyethylene and silicon dioxide, and the mass percentage of the silicon dioxide in the fourth adhesive layer is 3-6% based on the mass of the fourth adhesive layer. In this application, the addition of silicon dioxide in the fourth adhesive layer helps to improve the mechanical strength and heat resistance of the fourth adhesive layer, while optimizing the melt flowability of the fourth adhesive layer.
[0082] Specifically, the mass percentage of the silicon dioxide can be in the range of one or any two of 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, and 6% based on the mass of the fourth adhesive layer.
[0083] In some embodiments, the particle size Dv50 of the silica is 40-80 nm, for example, can be one or a range value consisting of any two of 40 nm, 45 nm, 50 nm, 55 nm, 60 nm, 65 nm, 70 nm, 75 nm, 80 nm.
[0084] The particle size Dv50 of the silica within the above range is beneficial to improve the dispersibility of the silica in the polyethylene. When the particle size Dv50 of the silica is <40 nm, the silica is prone to agglomeration, resulting in the formation of defects in the fourth adhesive layer, reducing the sealing effect and mechanical properties. When the particle size Dv50 of the silica is >80 nm, the interfacial bonding area of the silica and the polyethylene is reduced, making it difficult to fully play the reinforcing role, and the continuity of the fourth adhesive layer may be damaged during heat sealing.
[0085] In some embodiments, the fifth adhesive layer comprises polypropylene and glass beads, and the mass percentage of the glass beads in the fifth adhesive layer is 8-12% based on the mass of the fifth adhesive layer. In this application, the addition of glass beads in the fifth adhesive layer is beneficial to reduce the density of the fifth adhesive layer, while improving the structural rigidity, cushioning performance and high-temperature deformation resistance of the fifth adhesive layer.
[0086] Specifically, the mass percentage of the glass beads in the fifth adhesive layer can be one or a range value consisting of any two of 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, 10%, 10.5%, 11%, 11.5%, 12% based on the mass of the fifth adhesive layer.
[0087] In some embodiments, the Dv50 of the glass beads is 60-100 nm, for example, can be one or a range value consisting of any two of 60 nm, 65 nm, 70 nm, 75 nm, 80 nm, 85 nm, 90 nm, 95 nm, 100 nm. The particle size Dv50 of the glass beads within the above range can simultaneously consider the compactness and processing fluidity of the fifth adhesive layer. When the particle size Dv50 of the glass beads is <60 nm, the hollow structure of the glass beads is prone to be damaged during processing, and cannot fully play the role of lightweight and support. When the particle size Dv50 of the glass beads is >100 nm, the glass beads are difficult to disperse uniformly in the fifth adhesive layer, which may result in the existence of pores in the fifth adhesive layer, reducing the sealing effect and mechanical strength of the fifth adhesive layer.
[0088] In some embodiments, the sixth adhesive layer comprises polyethylene and talc, and the mass percentage of the talc in the sixth adhesive layer is 4-7% based on the mass of the sixth adhesive layer. In the sixth adhesive layer, the addition of talc is beneficial to improve the heat resistance and anti-blocking performance of the sixth adhesive layer, while improving the interfacial bonding stability of the sixth adhesive layer and the sealing part.
[0089] Specifically, based on the mass of the sixth adhesive layer, the mass percentage of the talcum powder can be in the range of one or any two of 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%.
[0090] In some embodiments, the particle size Dv50 of the talcum powder is 50-90 nm, for example, can be in the range of one or any two of 50 nm, 55 nm, 60 nm, 65 nm, 70 nm, 75 nm, 80 nm, 85 nm, 90 nm. The particle size Dv50 of the talcum powder in the above range is beneficial to achieve a balance between the processing performance and sealing performance of the sixth adhesive layer. When the particle size Dv50 of the talcum powder is less than 50 nm, the layered structure of the talcum powder is prone to stacking and agglomeration, resulting in stress concentration in the sixth adhesive layer, affecting the flexibility and interfacial bonding force of the sixth adhesive layer. When the particle size Dv50 of the talcum powder is greater than 90 nm, the compatibility of the talcum powder with polyethylene decreases, which may form a small gap in the sixth adhesive layer, reducing the density of the sixth adhesive layer.
[0091] In some embodiments, the tab adhesive includes a bottom 45 and a top 44, the top 44 and the bottom 45 are oppositely arranged in the extension direction (X direction) of the tab, the top 44 is located outside the sealing portion 21, and the bottom 45 is located inside the packaging bag 20; the length of the top 44 protruding out of the sealing portion 21 is 1.5-3 mm, and the length of the bottom 45 protruding out of the sealing portion 21 is 0.8-2 mm; to reduce the risk of the tab 30 leaking and contacting the metal material in the packaging belt 20 to cause short circuit, thereby improving the safety performance of the electrochemical device 100.
[0092] Specifically, the length of the top portion protruding out of the sealing portion can be in the range of one or any two of 1.5 mm, 1.8 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.2 mm, 2.5 mm, 2.8 mm, 3.0 mm; preferably 2.0-2.5 mm.
[0093] Specifically, the length of the bottom portion protruding out of the sealing portion can be in the range of one or any two of 0.8 mm, 1 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.8 mm, 2.0 mm; preferably 1.2-1.5 mm.
[0094] In some embodiments, the third adhesive layer includes polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, and phase change microcapsules, based on the mass of the third adhesive layer, the mass percentage of polytetrafluoroethylene is 15-20%, and the mass percentage of phase change microcapsules is 5-8%.
[0095] In this application, the third adhesive layer adds polytetrafluoroethylene, which can improve the flexibility and impact resistance of the third adhesive layer 43, thereby improving the packaging strength between the tab adhesive 40 and the packaging bag 20.
[0096] It can be understood that the phase change microcapsule includes a core material and a wall material, the core material includes a paraffin wax with a melting point of 195-205℃, and the wall material is a melamine formaldehyde resin. When the heat sealing temperature exceeds 200℃, the phase change microcapsule is broken, the core material is released, heat is absorbed to form a heat insulation layer, local overheating and melting of the tab adhesive are avoided, and the risk of tab adhesive overflow is reduced.
[0097] Specifically, the mass percentage content of polytetrafluoroethylene based on the mass of the third adhesive layer can be in a range value composed of one or any two of 15%, 15.5%, 16%, 16.5%, 17%, 17.5%, 18%, 18.5%, 19%, 19.5%, and 20%.
[0098] Specifically, the mass percentage content of the phase change microcapsule based on the mass of the third adhesive layer can be in a range value composed of one or any two of 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, and 7.5%.
[0099] In some embodiments, the second adhesive layer includes polypropylene, polyethylene, and graphene, and the mass percentage content of polyethylene based on the mass of the second adhesive layer is 20-40%, and the mass percentage content of graphene is 3-5%.
[0100] It can be understood that, by the high thermal conductivity of graphene in the second adhesive layer, the heat of the first adhesive layer can be quickly conducted to the third adhesive layer, the temperature difference of adjacent areas is reduced, the melting point transition between the first adhesive layer to the third adhesive layer is smooth, and the interlayer stress is reduced.
[0101] Specifically, the mass percentage content of polyethylene based on the mass of the second adhesive layer can be in a range value composed of one or any two of 20%, 23%, 25%, 28%, 30%, 32%, 35%, 37%, and 40%.
[0102] Specifically, the mass percentage content of graphene based on the mass of the second adhesive layer can be in a range value composed of one or any two of 3%, 3.2%, 3.4%, 3.6%, 3.8%, 4%, 4.2%, 4.4%, 4.6%, 4.8%, and 5%.
[0103] In some embodiments, the thickness of the graphene is 5-10 nm, and the flake diameter is 1-5 μm.
[0104] Specifically, the thickness of the graphene can be in a range value composed of one or any two of 5 nm, 6 nm, 7 nm, 8 nm, 9 nm, and 10 nm.
[0105] Specifically, the flake diameter of the graphene can be in a range value composed of one or any two of 1 μm, 2 μm, 3 μm, 4 μm, and 5 μm.
[0106] In some embodiments, the first adhesive layer comprises polyethylene and calcium carbonate, and the mass percentage of calcium carbonate is 2-4% based on the mass of the first adhesive layer.
[0107] It can be understood that the calcium carbonate can improve the mechanical properties of the third adhesive layer, and can reduce the problem of over-melting and glue overflow of the sealing area during heat sealing due to poor packaging parallelism, excessive packaging pressure or excessive packaging temperature, thereby reducing the problems of battery corrosion, electrolyte leakage at the tab, etc. caused by the contact between the tab and the packaging bag.
[0108] Specifically, the mass percentage of calcium carbonate can be 2%, 2.2%, 2.4%, 2.6%, 2.8%, 3%, 3.2%, 3.4%, 3.6%, 3.8%, 4% or a range value consisting of any two of them based on the mass of the first adhesive layer.
[0109] In some embodiments, the particle size D50 of the calcium carbonate is 50-100 nm, for example, it can be 50 nm, 55 nm, 60 nm, 65 nm, 70 nm, 75 nm, 80 nm, 85 nm, 90 nm, 95 nm, 100 nm or a range value consisting of any two of them.
