Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electrochemical energy storage technology, and more specifically, to an aluminum-plastic film and an electrochemical device and an electronic device comprising the same. Background Technology
[0002] Electrochemical devices (especially lithium-ion batteries) have become core power sources in many fields, including new energy vehicles, 3C products, and energy storage systems, due to their significant advantages such as high energy density, long cycle life, and no memory effect. Lithium-ion batteries are typically packaged in aluminum-plastic film. In the event of a safety hazard, the film usually bulges or cracks at the seal to release energy, reducing the risk of explosion and effectively improving the safety of the electrochemical device. As a key packaging material for soft-pack lithium-ion batteries, the aluminum-plastic film typically consists of three layers: an outer nylon layer, a middle aluminum layer, and an inner PP layer. Its main purpose is to provide insulation, protection, and encapsulation.
[0003] In the production and use of lithium-ion batteries, the presence of the OH region (overhang region, referring to the area where the negative electrode extends beyond the positive electrode in both length and width) creates a height gradient at the winding and stacking of cell electrodes. During lithium-ion battery formation or cycling, the edges of the single-sided positive electrode foil or single-sided empty foil area frequently rub against the inner layer of the aluminum-plastic film, causing damage to the inner layer. The single-sided aluminum foil may fold, and in severe cases, the Al layer may be exposed. The electrolyte comes into contact with the Al layer and undergoes a chemical reaction, resulting in leakage. Leakage affects the performance, capacity, and lifespan of lithium-ion batteries, pollutes the environment, and can also cause bulging, or even short circuits and fires.
[0004] Currently, most aluminum-plastic films have a single-layer or simple composite inner layer, focusing only on resistance to electrolyte corrosion. Their wear resistance design is not optimized for electrode gradient differences, making them prone to scratches and damage under frequent friction. Once scratched or damaged, the inner layer of the aluminum-plastic film cannot repair itself, and the damage accumulates until the Al layer is exposed. Even with some modified aluminum-plastic films that improve mechanical strength, it is still difficult to completely avoid the progressive damage caused by long-term friction at the electrode edges. Furthermore, the inner layer of the aluminum-plastic film suffers from layered crystallization due to the coating process, further weakening its mechanical strength and wear resistance.
[0005] Therefore, solving the problem of damage to the inner layer of aluminum-plastic film caused by electrode step differences in electrochemical devices is of great significance for improving the safety performance and stability of electrochemical devices. Summary of the Invention

[0037] General definition The term "binder" refers to a substance used to bond inorganic fillers to or to each other in a porous substrate material.

[0039] I. Aluminum-plastic film This application provides an aluminum-plastic film, comprising a nylon layer, an aluminum layer and a PP composite layer arranged in sequence. The PP composite layer comprises an adhesive support PP layer, a self-healing PP layer and a wear-resistant PP layer arranged in sequence. The thicknesses of the adhesive support PP layer, the self-healing PP layer and the wear-resistant PP layer are t1, t2 and t3, respectively, and t1, t2 and t3 satisfy: t1:t2:t3=(1~2):(1~2):(2~3).
[0040] The inventors of this application have discovered that the safety and stability of the electrochemical device, as well as the damage to the inner layer of the aluminum-plastic film caused by electrode step differences, are significantly correlated with the thickness ratio of the bonding support PP layer, the self-healing PP layer, and the wear-resistant PP layer in the aluminum-plastic film. This application controls the thickness ratio of the bonding support PP layer, the self-healing PP layer, and the wear-resistant PP layer to (1~2):(1~2):(2~3). The synergistic effect of each layer in the aluminum-plastic film forms a complete protective system of "support-self-healing-wear resistance": the bonding support PP layer provides the aluminum-plastic film with a strong bond to the current collector and stable structural support; the self-healing PP layer can quickly function to repair the damage when the wear-resistant PP layer is scratched; the wear-resistant PP layer directly resists the wear of the electrode foil edge, effectively protecting the wear-resistant PP layer, effectively improving the wear resistance of the aluminum-plastic film, and giving it excellent scratch self-healing ability. This fundamentally solves the problem of damage to the inner layer of the aluminum-plastic film caused by electrode step differences in the electrochemical device, thereby improving the safety and stability of the electrochemical device.
[0041] The structure of the aluminum-plastic film described in this application is highly compatible with existing aluminum-plastic film composite processes. In actual production, there is no need for large-scale modifications to existing production lines, which greatly reduces production costs and technical barriers, and facilitates rapid promotion and application.
[0042] In some embodiments, the total thickness of the PP composite layer is T, and T, t1, t2, and t3 satisfy: T = t1 + t2 + t3, 40 μm ≤ T ≤ 80 μm, for example, it can be 40 μm, 45 μm, 50 μm, 55 μm, 60 μm, 65 μm, 70 μm, 75 μm, 80 μm or any two of these values.
[0043] In some implementations, t1 satisfies: 5μm≤t1≤25μm, for example, it can be 5μm, 6μm, 10μm, 12μm, 14μm, 16μm, 18μm, 20μm, 22μm, 25μm or any two of these values. If the thickness of the adhesive support PP layer is too small, the effective contact area of the maleic anhydride modified polypropylene in the adhesive support PP layer is reduced, the peel strength between it and the current collector layer is reduced, and it is easy to delaminate after immersion in electrolyte; at the same time, insufficient polyolefin elastomer content leads to a decrease in impact resistance, wrinkling defects are prone to occur during three-layer co-extrusion, and cracking is prone to occur with deformation of the current collector after heat sealing; excessive etching is prone to occur during plasma treatment, and the increased surface roughness actually reduces the adhesion. If the thickness of the adhesive support PP layer is too large, the material cost increases, and the bonding strength becomes ineffectively redundant; at the same time, it will also squeeze the space of the self-healing PP layer.
[0044] In some implementations, t2 satisfies: 5μm ≤ t2 ≤ 25μm, for example, it can be a range of 5μm, 6μm, 10μm, 12μm, 14μm, 16μm, 18μm, 20μm, 22μm, 25μm, or any two of these values. If the thickness of the self-healing PP layer is too small, the self-healing microcapsules will not have sufficient load-bearing capacity, resulting in a decreased healing rate; the interfacial bonding area, which acts as a bridge between layers, will decrease, leading to an increased interfacial peeling rate after thermal cycling; furthermore, the high concentration of self-healing microcapsules makes them prone to agglomeration, forming particle protrusions after extrusion, increasing friction and wear. If the thickness of the self-healing PP layer is too large, the extruded wear-resistant PP layer will become thinner, increasing the wear depth after friction and causing a loss of wear resistance.
[0045] In some implementations, t3 satisfies: 10μm≤t3≤50μm, for example, it can be 10μm, 15μm, 20μm, 25μm, 30μm, 35μm, 40μm, 45μm, 50μm or any two of these values. If the wear-resistant PP layer thickness is too small, the carbon nitride / graphene three-dimensional network structure is incomplete, and the wear depth increases after repeated friction, directly penetrating to the self-healing PP layer; this reduces the surface pencil hardness, making the electrode prone to rigid scratches, exceeding the self-healing range; at the same time, the thickness of the lubricating agent film is insufficient, and the friction coefficient increases after cycling, increasing wear. If the wear-resistant PP layer thickness is too large, the inorganic filler ratio is too high, leading to an increase in Shore hardness D, and the extrusion bonding support PP layer is too small, causing the aluminum-plastic film to delaminate after vibration testing; during three-layer co-extrusion, the melt flow is mismatched, resulting in interlayer flow marks, and the surface flatness decreases, increasing the risk of local wear.
[0046] In some embodiments, the adhesive support PP layer comprises the following components by weight percentage: 65-80% random copolymer polypropylene, 10-15% maleic anhydride modified polypropylene, and 10-15% polyolefin elastomer.

The test standard for melt flow rate is GB / T 3682.1-2018.
[0048] In some embodiments, the grafting rate of the maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene is 0.8% to 1.2%, for example, it can be a range of 0.8%, 0.9%, 1.0%, 1.1%, 1.2%, or any two of these values. The grafting rate is determined using conventional chemical titration.
[0049] In some embodiments, the maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene has a melt flow rate of 3.0~5.0 g / 10min under test conditions of 230°C and 2.16 kg, for example, it can be 3.0 g / 10min, 3.2 g / 10min, 3.4 g / 10min, 3.6 g / 10min, 3.8 g / 10min, 4.0 g / 10min, 4.2 g / 10min, 4.4 g / 10min, 4.6 g / 10min, 4.8 g / 10min, 5.0 g / 10min or any two of these values.
[0050] In some embodiments, the Shore hardness D of the polyolefin elastomer is 55 to 65, for example, it can be a range of 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65 or any two of these values. The hardness testing standard is GB / T2411-2008.
[0051] In some embodiments, the polyolefin elastomer has a melt flow rate of 1.5 to 3.0 g / 10 min under test conditions of 230°C and 2.16 kg, for example, it can be 1.5 g / 10 min, 1.8 g / 10 min, 2.0 g / 10 min, 2.2 g / 10 min, 2.4 g / 10 min, 2.6 g / 10 min, 2.8 g / 10 min, 3.0 g / 10 min, or any two of these values.
[0052] In some embodiments, the self-healing PP layer comprises the following components by weight percentage: 60-70% block copolymer polypropylene, 15-20% polyolefin elastomer, 10-15% self-healing microcapsules, and 1-3% dispersant.
[0053] In some embodiments, the core material of the self-healing microcapsule is an isocyanate prepolymer, and the wall material is a urea-formaldehyde resin-gelatin composite wall material.
[0054] In some embodiments, the method for preparing the self-healing microcapsules includes the following steps: (1) Preparation of aqueous phase: Dissolve gelatin (wall material component 1) in deionized water, heat to 50-55℃, add emulsifier, stir until dissolved, adjust pH to 4-5 to obtain aqueous phase; (2) Preparation of oil phase: The isocyanate prepolymer (core material) is mixed with toluene and ultrasonically dispersed to obtain the oil phase; (3) Emulsification: The oil phase is slowly dripped into the aqueous phase and stirred at 800-1000 r / min at 50-60℃ for 20-30 min to form a W / O type emulsion with an emulsion particle size of 5-10 μm; (4) Wall material polymerization: Add urea-formaldehyde resin prepolymer (wall material component 2) dropwise to the emulsion, heat to 55-60℃, keep warm and stir for 1-2 h, and the urea-formaldehyde resin and gelatin crosslink to form a composite wall material; (5) Post-processing: Cool to room temperature, centrifuge at 2000-3000 r / min for 8-10 min, wash with deionized water 2-3 times, and vacuum dry at 60-65℃ for 3-4 h to obtain self-healing microcapsules.
[0055] In some embodiments, the average particle size of the self-healing microcapsules is 5 to 10 μm, for example, it can be a range of 5 μm, 6 μm, 7 μm, 8 μm, 9 μm, 10 μm or any two of these values.
[0056] In some embodiments, the wall thickness of the self-healing microcapsule is 1~2 μm.
[0057] In some embodiments, the dispersant includes at least one of stearamide dispersants, palmitamide dispersants, and erucamide dispersants.
[0058] In some embodiments, the wear-resistant PP layer comprises the following components by weight percentage: 70-75% random copolymer polypropylene, 5-8% carbon nitride / graphene foam composite powder, 5-10% organic modified nano-silica, and 2-5% slip agent.

The suspension was then transferred to a hydrothermal reactor and reacted at 180-200℃ for 8-10 h. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was cooled to room temperature, and the product was separated by centrifugation. The product was then washed 3-4 times with deionized water and ethanol, and vacuum dried at 115-120℃ for 5-6 h.

[0103] The following uses a lithium-ion battery as an example and combines specific embodiments to illustrate the preparation of a lithium-ion battery. Those skilled in the art will understand that the preparation method described in this application is only an example, and any other suitable preparation method is within the scope of this application.
[0104] Example 1 The method for preparing a lithium-ion battery includes the following steps: 1. Preparation of the negative electrode sheet: The negative electrode active material silicon-carbon (60% by mass of silicon), conductive agent Super P, and binder PAA are thoroughly mixed in a deionized water solvent system at a weight ratio of 97.6:1.1:1.3 to obtain a negative electrode active material slurry (30% solid content).

The slurry was uniformly coated on both sides of an aluminum current collector (thickness 8μm), and then cold-pressed and slit to obtain the positive electrode sheet.
[0106] 3. Preparation of the diaphragm: The diaphragm is a porous PE membrane (4.5 μm thick, 50% porosity).
[0107] 4. Preparation of electrolyte: At room temperature, in an argon-filled glove box (H2O < 1 ppm, O2 < 1 ppm), ethylene carbonate (EC), propylene carbonate (PC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), and propyl propionate (PP) were mixed in a volume ratio of 30:10:40:20 to prepare a mixed organic solvent. Then, fully dried lithium salt LiPF6 was dissolved in the mixed organic solvent at a ratio of 1 mol / L to prepare an electrolyte.
[0108] 5. Preparation of lithium-ion secondary batteries Cell fabrication: The above-mentioned cathode electrode, separator, and anode electrode are wound or stacked to produce a bare cell.
[0109] Packaging: Bare cells are packaged using aluminum-plastic film with different PP composite layers, depending on the application scenario.
[0110] The aluminum-plastic film comprises a nylon layer (25 μm thick), an aluminum layer (40 μm thick), and a PP composite layer arranged sequentially. The PP composite layer comprises an adhesive support PP layer, a self-healing PP layer, and a wear-resistant PP layer arranged sequentially. The thicknesses of the adhesive support PP layer, the self-healing PP layer, and the wear-resistant PP layer are t1, t2, and t3, respectively, satisfying t1:t2:t3=1:1:2. The total thickness of the PP composite layer is T=40 μm, and t1=10 μm, t2=10 μm, and t3=20 μm are calculated. When the height difference of the OH region of the single-sided aluminum foil electrode sheet, i.e., the distance H between the positive electrode current collector and the negative electrode active layer, is 39 μm, T>H.
[0111] The adhesive support PP layer comprises the following components by weight percentage: The composition comprises 70% random copolymer polypropylene, 15% maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene, and 15% polyolefin elastomer. The melt flow rate of the random copolymer polypropylene is 3.0 g / 10 min; the grafting rate of the maleic anhydride-modified polypropylene is 1%; and the Shore hardness of the polyolefin elastomer is 60.
[0112] The self-healing PP layer comprises the following components by weight percentage: The composition includes 65% block copolymer polypropylene, 20% polyolefin elastomer, 12% self-healing microcapsules, and 3% dispersant. The dispersant is a stearamide-based dispersant.
[0113] The method for preparing the self-healing microcapsules includes the following steps: (1) Preparation of aqueous phase: Dissolve 5g of gelatin in 100mL of deionized water, heat to 50℃, add 0.3g of sodium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (emulsifier), stir until dissolved, adjust pH to 4.5, and obtain aqueous phase.
[0114] (2) Preparation of oil phase: 20g of isocyanate prepolymer (core material) was mixed with 5mL of toluene and ultrasonically dispersed for 5min to obtain the oil phase.
[0115] (3) Emulsification: The oil phase is slowly dripped into the aqueous phase and stirred at 1000 r / min for 30 min at 50℃ to form a W / O type emulsion (the emulsion particle size is 5-10 μm).
[0116] (4) Wall material polymerization: Add 8g of urea-formaldehyde resin prepolymer to the emulsion, heat to 60℃, keep warm and stir for 2h, and the urea-formaldehyde resin and gelatin crosslink to form a composite wall material.
[0117] (5) Post-processing: Cool to room temperature, centrifuge (3000r / min, 10min), wash 3 times with deionized water, and vacuum dry at 60℃ for 4h to obtain self-healing microcapsules.
[0118] The wear-resistant PP layer comprises the following components by weight percentage: The composition includes 83% random copolymer polypropylene, 6% carbon nitride / graphene foam composite powder, 8% organically modified nano-silica, and 3% slip agent. The slip agent is a high-temperature resistant silicone slip agent with a molecular weight of 5000-8000 and a thermal decomposition temperature ≥300℃.
[0119] The preparation method of the carbon nitride / graphene foam composite powder includes the following steps: Urea and graphene powder were mixed at a mass ratio of 95:5, and deionized water was added and ultrasonically dispersed for 30 min to form a uniform suspension. The suspension was transferred to a hydrothermal reactor and reacted at 200℃ for 8 h. After the reaction was completed, the mixture was cooled to room temperature, and the product was separated by centrifugation. The product was washed three times with deionized water and ethanol, dried under vacuum at 120℃ for 6 h, and then calcined at 550℃ for 2 h under a nitrogen atmosphere. After grinding, the product was sieved to obtain carbon nitride / graphene foam composite powder with an average particle size of 1-3 μm.
[0120] The method for preparing the organically modified nano-silica includes the following steps: Nano-silica with an average particle size of 60-80 nm was modified by adding γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (KH-550) at a mass ratio of 100:3 to obtain organically modified nano-silica with an average particle size of 70-90 nm and a modification rate of ≥95%.
[0121] The method for preparing the aluminum-plastic film includes: (I) Preparation of PP composite layer: 1. Refining of PP Composite Layer Raw Materials: Prepare the raw materials for the bonding and supporting PP layer, self-healing PP layer, and wear-resistant PP layer according to the formula ratio. In addition to ensuring the purity of basic raw materials such as random copolymer polypropylene and maleic anhydride modified polypropylene, the self-healing microcapsules in the self-healing PP layer need to be pretreated by high-speed shearing (15000r / min) and ultrasonic-assisted dispersion (400W) to break up the agglomerated particles in advance. The carbon nitride / graphene foam composite powder in the wear-resistant PP layer needs to be premixed with the dispersant to ensure uniform distribution in the PP matrix.
[0122] 2. Co-extrusion molding Pre-treated raw materials for bonding and support PP layer, self-healing PP layer and wear-resistant PP layer are respectively added to three dedicated single screw extruders, with screw length-to-diameter ratio set to 25:1 and compression ratio to 3:1 to ensure uniform melt plasticization; Control the extrusion temperature of each layer: the barrel temperature of the bonding and support PP layer and the wear-resistant PP layer is 180-190℃, and the die head temperature is 185℃; the barrel temperature of the self-healing PP layer is 175-185℃ to prevent high temperature from damaging the microcapsules of the urea-formaldehyde resin-gelatin composite wall material. After the three-layer melt is combined through a co-extrusion die, it is quickly shaped by a 30°C cooling roller to obtain a PP composite layer. Finally, the bonding support PP layer side of the PP composite layer is subjected to plasma treatment to further activate the surface polar groups.
[0123] (ii) The nylon layer, aluminum layer and PP composite layer are laminated by a dry lamination process at a lamination temperature of 80℃ and a lamination pressure of 0.4MPa to obtain the finished aluminum-plastic film.
[0124] Examples 2-5, Comparative Examples 6-8 Examples 2-5 and Comparative Examples 6-8 differ from Example 1 in that the values of H, T, t1, t2, and t3 are changed.
[0125] Examples 6-9 The difference between Examples 6-9 and Example 1 is that the weight percentages of random copolymer polypropylene, maleic anhydride modified polypropylene, and polyolefin elastomer in the adhesive support PP layer are changed.
[0126] Examples 10-13 The difference between Examples 10-13 and Example 1 is that the weight percentages of block copolymer polypropylene, polyolefin elastomer, self-healing microcapsules, and dispersant in the self-healing PP layer are changed.
[0127] Examples 14-17 Examples 14-17 differ from Example 1 in that the weight percentages of random copolymer polypropylene, carbon nitride / graphene foam composite powder, organic modified nano silica, and slip agent in the wear-resistant PP layer are changed.
[0128] Comparative Example 1: The difference between Comparative Example 1 and Example 1 is that the aluminum-plastic film uses a single-layer structure (bonding support PP layer) with a thickness of 40μm, and does not have a wear-resistant PP layer and a self-healing PP layer.
[0129] Comparative Example 2: The difference between Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 is that the aluminum-plastic film uses a double-layer structure with a thickness of 40μm (20μm wear-resistant PP layer + 20μm adhesive support PP layer), and no self-healing PP layer is provided.
[0130] Comparative Example 3: The difference between Comparative Example 3 and Example 1 is that the aluminum-plastic film uses a double-layer structure with a thickness of 40μm (5μm self-healing PP layer + 35μm wear-resistant PP layer), and no adhesive support PP layer is provided.
[0131] Comparative Examples 4-5: The difference between Comparative Examples 4-5 and Example 1 is that the values of t1, t2, and t3 are changed.
[0132] The parameters involved in the embodiments and comparative examples are shown in Table 1.
[0133] Table 1 The ingredients and formulations involved in the examples and comparative examples are shown in Table 2.
[0134] Table 2 Test methods 1. Energy density: Charge the finished battery cell to 4.53V with constant current and constant voltage at 0.5C, and cut off at 0.02C; then discharge it to 3.0V with constant current at 0.2C, and record the capacity C0 and energy W0; the plateau voltage V0 = W0 / C0.
[0135] The thickness of the battery in its half-charge state was tested using a 600PPG tester, and the length and width of the battery were measured using a thickness gauge.
[0136] Energy density ED = C0 * V0 / (length * width * thickness) * 1000, unit: Wh / L.
[0137] 2. Fast charging cycle test: Cyclic tests were conducted under normal temperature conditions. Charging modes: 3C CC to 4.25V, 2.5CCC to 4.35V, 2C CC to 4.4V, 1.5C CC to 4.5V, CV to 1.2C, 1.2C CC to 4.55V, CV to 0.26C; Discharging mode: 0.7C DC to 3.0V.
[0138] 1000-week Fading = Discharge capacity in week 1000 / Discharge capacity in week 1 * 100%; 3. Abrasion resistance: The wear depth of the PP composite layer surface after 500 rubs was measured using a Martindale abrasion tester, with the unit being μm.
[0139] 4. The calculation method for self-healing efficiency is as follows: 1) Sample preparation and scratch creation: (1) Cut a 10mm×10mm sample from the finished PP composite layer, ensuring that the wear-resistant PP layer is facing upwards and that there are no initial defects on the surface.
[0140] (2) Using a blade scratch tester, standard scratches were prepared on the sample surface: the applied force was 0.5N, the scratch length was 5mm, and the depth was controlled to be 3-5μm (simulating the actual wear depth of the edge of the empty foil of the electrode). The initial shape of the scratches was recorded.
[0141] (3) Self-healing condition setting The sample with standard scratches was placed in a constant temperature chamber simulating the internal environment of a battery: temperature 40-80℃ (normal operating temperature range of the battery), pressure 0.1-0.3MPa (internal pressure during cell cycling), and samples were taken for testing at two time points, 2h and 4h.
[0142] (4) Image acquisition and parameter measurement High-resolution images of the scratched area were captured using a microscope (magnification ≥200x), and images of the initial scratch and the scratch after self-healing were collected respectively.
[0143] (5) Measure and record key parameters using image analysis software (ImageJ).
[0144] 2) Formula for calculating self-healing rate The volume self-healing rate is used as the core criterion, and the formula is as follows: y=[1-Wt*Dt / (W0*D0)]*100%; y is the self-healing rate of the scratch volume (%). W0 is the initial average width of the scratch (μm); D0 is the initial average scratch depth (μm). Wt represents the average width (μm) of the residual scratch after self-healing time t. Dt represents the average depth (μm) of the residual scratch after self-healing time t.
[0145] (5) The wear degree of the aluminum-plastic film PP composite layer in the cycled battery cell is determined by disassembling the 1000cls cycled battery cell and testing the thickness of the aluminum-plastic film PP composite layer using a 3D microscope, a 3D profilometer, and a CP tester. The difference in thickness of the aluminum-plastic film PP composite layer before and after cycling is used to determine the risk of battery cell leakage and the strength of aluminum-plastic film encapsulation.
[0146] The test results are shown in Table 3.
[0147] Table 3: Test Data As shown in Table 3, this application enables lithium-ion batteries to have excellent cycle stability and safety by controlling the thickness ratio of the bonding support PP layer, the self-healing PP layer, and the wear-resistant PP layer in the aluminum-plastic film.
[0148] Comparing Comparative Examples 1-3 with Example 1, it can be seen that Comparative Example 1, lacking both a wear-resistant and self-healing PP layers, suffered aluminum leakage due to repeated friction, resulting in serious cracking and safety risks. In contrast, the aluminum-plastic film used in Example 1, while maintaining the same energy density, effectively suppressed the risk of wear and cracking of the inner layer caused by the step height difference in the OH region. Comparative Example 2, lacking a self-healing PP layer, resulted in repeated expansion of the wear-resistant layer over long cycles without timely repair, leading to aluminum leakage and even liquid leakage risks, and a decrease in cycle retention rate. Comparative Example 3, lacking an adhesive support PP layer, suffered from weak interlayer bonding due to non-integrated nature, resulting in low peel strength between the coating layer and the inner layer of the aluminum-plastic film, making it prone to detachment and losing its self-healing function, leading to an extremely high risk of leakage. Therefore, by sequentially setting an adhesive support PP layer, a self-healing PP layer, and a wear-resistant PP layer, this application can effectively improve the wear resistance and scratch self-healing ability of the aluminum-plastic film, which is beneficial to solving the problem of damage to the inner layer of the aluminum-plastic film caused by the electrode step difference in electrochemical devices, thereby improving the safety of electrochemical devices.
[0149] Comparing Comparative Examples 4 and 5 with Example 1, it can be seen that the thickness ratios of the adhesive support PP layer, self-healing PP layer, and wear-resistant PP layer in Comparative Examples 4 and 5 are not within the range defined in this application, and the wear resistance and scratch self-healing ability of the aluminum-plastic film are affected to a certain extent. Therefore, by controlling the thickness ratio of the adhesive support PP layer, self-healing PP layer, and wear-resistant PP layer, this application can improve the wear resistance and scratch self-healing ability of the aluminum-plastic film, thereby improving the safety and stability of the electrochemical device.
[0150] Comparing Example 4 with Comparative Example 6, it can be seen that the thickness of the PP composite layer in Comparative Example 6 does not meet the requirement of T>H. After encapsulation, the wear-resistant PP layer cannot completely cover the electrode step difference area. The edge of the empty electrode foil directly squeezes the aluminum-plastic film. In the later stage of the cycle, the aluminum-plastic film is highly ruptured, and the risk of leakage of the electrochemical device is high.
[0151] A comparison of Example 2 and Comparative Example 7 shows that in Comparative Example 7, when the thickness of the wear-resistant PP layer does not meet the condition [0.4 + (H - 39) / 130] × T ≤ t3 ≤ 0.6T, the thickness of the wear-resistant PP layer is insufficient and cannot resist the wear of the electrode edge. In the later stages of cycling, penetrating scratches appear on the wear-resistant PP layer, leading to a high risk of leakage in the electrochemical device and severe capacity decay. Therefore, this application improves the safety and stability of the electrochemical device by controlling T, H, and t3 to satisfy [0.4 + (H - 39) / 130] × T ≤ t3 ≤ 0.6T.
[0152] As can be seen from the comparison between Example 3 and Comparative Example 8, although increasing the thickness of H and T seems to significantly improve safety, the energy density is severely lost due to the increased thickness, and it is difficult to fit the electrode step difference area during packaging, resulting in local wrinkles. In the later stages of cycling, there is still a risk of rupture and leakage at the wrinkled areas.
[0153] In summary, this application significantly improves the protective performance, structural stability, and production compatibility of aluminum-plastic film through the synergistic effect of height difference matching design, three-layer integrated full-function structure, and compliant thickness control. It solves key problems of existing aluminum-plastic film such as "wear penetration, interface separation, performance degradation, and process incompatibility", and has practical application value and promotion advantages.
[0154] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this application without departing from the substance and scope of the technical solutions of this application.
