Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to a linear three-electrode secondary battery.

[0002] This application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2024-0115029, filed on August 27, 2024, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Background Technology

[0003] In an effort to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and consequently carbon emissions, there is a growing focus on rechargeable and reusable batteries. These batteries are used in a variety of fields, including vehicles, portable electronic devices, energy storage systems (ESS), and wearable and flexible devices.

[0004] Secondary batteries are typically classified by shape as cylindrical, prismatic, or pouch-shaped. However, secondary batteries with these shapes may not be suitable for wearable and flexible devices. Therefore, flexible linear secondary batteries can be used in wearable and flexible devices.

[0005] Simultaneously, to confirm the performance of the secondary battery, its electrode potential should be measured. Electrode potential measurement requires a three-electrode system comprising a reference electrode, a working electrode, and a counter electrode (or auxiliary electrode). The performance of linear secondary batteries can also be confirmed using a three-electrode system. In the case of linear secondary batteries, it is necessary to confirm performance under conditions of physical movement. Conventionally, three-electrode measurements are performed using a reference electrode placed outside the linear secondary battery; however, the problem with this method is that three-electrode measurements are performed unstablely when physical movement exists within the linear secondary battery.

[0006] Therefore, a technique is needed that can achieve stable three-electrode measurements even when there is physical movement in an online secondary battery. Summary of the Invention

[0052] Reference Figures 1 to 6 and Figure 9 According to some embodiments, a linear three-electrode secondary battery 1000 may include a support 1200, a reference electrode 1100, an electrode assembly 1300, a second separator 1400, and a package 1500.

[0053] refer to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the support 1200 has a hollow tubular structure and may include a plurality of holes 1200H2 on its surface. The support 1200 may include an internal space 1200H1 into which the reference electrode 1100 may be inserted.

[0054] Since the support 1200 provides the internal space 1200H1, the reference electrode 1100 can be included as a single unit in the linear three-electrode secondary cell 1000 together with the electrode assembly 1300. Therefore, the linear three-electrode secondary cell 1000 can stably perform three-electrode measurements even when there is physical movement. Thus, when the linear three-electrode secondary cell 1000 is applied to wearable devices and flexible devices, it can be advantageous for predicting and analyzing the electrochemical behavior of the positive and negative electrodes.

[0055] Since the support 1200 includes multiple holes 1200H2 on its surface, the electrolyte injected into the internal space 1200H1 of the support 1200 during the manufacturing stage of the linear three-electrode secondary battery 1000 can freely enter and exit through the multiple holes 1200H2.

[0056] The support 1200 can serve as the basis for the linear shape of the linear three-electrode secondary battery 1000. Even when physical movement occurs within the linear three-electrode secondary battery 1000, the support 1200 can prevent deformation, collapse, or damage to the linear three-electrode secondary battery 1000. The support 1200 can provide flexibility and / or flexibility to the linear three-electrode secondary battery 1000. The higher the flexibility and / or flexibility of the support 1200, the more preferred it is. The support 1200 can be non-conductive.

[0057] In some embodiments, the material of the support 1200 may be one or more of polyethylene, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyacrylonitrile, polyimide, polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide-imide, polyesterimide, polyethersulfone, and polysulfone.

[0058] refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the reference electrode 1100 may be inserted inside the support 1200. (See reference...) Figure 5 In some embodiments, the reference electrode 1100 may include a reference electrode active material layer 1110 and a metal wire 1120.

[0059] The reference electrode active material layer 1110 may surround one side of the metal line 1120. In some embodiments, the reference electrode active material layer 1110 may include one or more of lithium metal and lithium titanium oxide.

[0060] although Figure 5 The diagram shows one metal wire 1120, but this is merely illustrative; the number of metal wires 1120 can also be multiple. As a non-limiting example, the number of metal wires 1120 can be two, and the two metal wires 1120 can be twisted together. The material of the metal wires 1120 can be a metal with excellent electrical conductivity. As a non-limiting example, the material of the metal wires 1120 can be copper or copper coated with nickel.

[0061] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, a portion of the reference electrode 1100 may be located inside the support 1200, while the remainder may be located outside the support 1200. In some embodiments, an insulating layer may surround the portion of the reference electrode 1100 located inside the support 1200. The reference electrode active material layer 1110 may be located inside the support 1200. A portion of the metal wire 1120 may be located inside the support 1200, while the remainder may be located outside the support 1200. The portion of the metal wire 1120 located outside the support 1200 may serve as a reference electrode tab, through which an electrical connection to the reference electrode 1200 is achieved during three-electrode measurements.

[0062] refer to Figure 2 In some embodiments, the electrode assembly 1300 may be wound around the support 1200. In some embodiments, the electrode assembly 1300 may be sheet-like. (See reference...) Figure 2 and Figure 3, in some embodiments, the electrode assembly 1300 may include a first electrode 1310, a first separator 1330, and a second electrode 1320. The first electrode 1310, the first separator 1330, and the second electrode 1320 may be sequentially stacked based on the support 1200. The electrode polarities of the first electrode 1310 and the second electrode 1320 may be opposite to each other.

The first electrode active material layer 1310AML may be sheet-shaped.

[0065] If the first electrode 1310 is a positive electrode, the first electrode active material layer 1310AML may include a positive electrode active material. As a non-limiting example, the positive electrode active material may include one or more of the following: lithium-iron-based oxides (e.g., LiFePO4, etc.), lithium-manganese-based oxides (e.g., LiMnO2, LiMn2O4, etc.), lithium-cobalt-based oxides (e.g., LiCoO2, etc.), lithium-nickel-based oxides (e.g., LiNiO2, etc.), lithium-nickel-manganese-based oxides (e.g., LiNi 1-y1 Mn y1 O2 (where 0 < y1 < 1) and LiMn 2-z1 Ni z1 O4 (where 0 < z1 < 2), etc.), lithium-nickel-cobalt-based oxides (e.g., LiNi 1-y2 Co y2 O2 (where 0 < y2 < 2), etc.), lithium-manganese-cobalt-based oxides (e.g., LiCo 1-y3 Mny3 O2 (where 0 < y3 < 1) and LiMn 2-z2 Co z2 O4 (where 0 < z2 < 2), etc., lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt-based oxides (e.g., Li(Ni P1 Co q1 Mn r1 )O2 (where 0 < pl < 1, 0 < ql < 1, 0 < rl < 1, p1 + q1 + r1 = 1), Li(Ni p2 Co q2 Mn r2 )O4 (where 0 < p2 < 2, 0 < q2 < 2, 0 < r2 < 2, p2 + q2 + r2 = 2), etc., lithium-nickel-cobalt-manganese-metal (M) oxides (e.g., Li(Ni P3 Co q3 Mn r3 M s1 )O2 (where M is selected from Al, Cu, Fe, V, Cr, Ti, Zr, Zn, Ta, Nb, Mg, B, W, and Mo, 0 < p3 < 1, 0 < q3 < 1, 0 < r3 < 1, 0 < s1 < 1, p3 + q3 + r3 + s1 = 1), etc.).

[0069] The first separator 1330 may be located between the first electrode active material layer 1310 AML and the second electrode active material layer 1320 AML. The first separator 1330 may be in sheet form. As non-limiting examples, the first separator 13,30 may be: a porous polymer substrate made of a polyolefin-based polymer selected from ethylene homopolymers, propylene homopolymers, ethylene-butene copolymers, ethylene-hexene copolymers, and ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymers; a porous polymer substrate made of a polymer selected from polyesters, polyacetals, polyamides, polycarbonates, polyimides, polyether ether ketones, polyether sulfones, polyphenylene ethers, polyphenylene sulfides, and polyethylene naphthalate; a porous polymer substrate having a porous coating formed from a mixture of inorganic particles and a binder polymer on at least one surface of the porous polymer substrate; or a porous substrate formed from a mixture of inorganic particles and a binder polymer.

[0070] The second electrode 1320 may include a second electrode active material layer 1320AML. The second electrode 1320 may be a positive or negative electrode. If the first electrode 1310 is a positive electrode, then the second electrode 1320 may be a negative electrode; conversely, if the first electrode 1310 is a negative electrode, then the second electrode 1320 may be a positive electrode. The second electrode active material layer 1320AML may be located on the first separator 1330. The second electrode active material layer 1320AML may include an electrode active material, a binder, and a conductive material. The electrode active material, binder, and conductive material included in the second electrode active material layer 1320AML may be the same as those described above with respect to the first electrode active material layer 1310AML. The second electrode active material layer 1320AML may be sheet-like.

[0071] The second electrode 1320 may include a second electrode current collector 1320CC. The second electrode current collector 1320CC may be located on the second electrode active material layer 1320AML. The materials included in the second electrode current collector 1320CC and the structure of the second electrode current collector 1320CC may be the same as those described above for the first electrode current collector 1310CC.

[0072] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 9 The first electrode contact 1310T and the second electrode contact 1320T can protrude from both ends of the linear three-electrode secondary cell 1000. One of the first electrode contact 1310T and the second electrode contact 1320T can be located on the same side as the reference electrode contact. However, alternatively, the first electrode contact 1310T and the second electrode contact 1320T can protrude from one end of the linear three-electrode secondary cell 1000. Furthermore, both the first electrode contact 1310T and the second electrode contact 1320T can be located on the same side as the reference electrode contact.

[0073] The first electrode contact 1310T can be connected to the first electrode current collector 1310CC via welding or the like. The second electrode contact 1320T can be connected to the second electrode current collector 1320CC via welding or the like. During three-electrode measurement, electrical connection to the first electrode 1310 can be achieved via the first electrode contact 1310T. During three-electrode measurement, electrical connection to the second electrode 1320 can be achieved via the second electrode contact 1320T.

[0074] refer to Figure 6The electrode assembly 1300 can be helically wound onto the support 1200 without overlapping. Typically, the electrode assembly 1300 can have lower flexibility and / or flexurality than the support 1200. Therefore, by helically winding the electrode assembly 1300 onto the support 1200 without overlapping, the flexibility and / or flexurality of the linear three-electrode secondary battery 1000 can be increased. The spacing between the helically wound non-overlapping electrode assemblies 1300 can be in the range of twice the width W of the electrode assembly 1300. When the spacing is too large, the performance of the linear three-electrode secondary battery 1000, such as its capacity, may deteriorate.

[0075] refer to Figure 9 In some embodiments, the second diaphragm 1400 may cover the electrode assembly 1300. The second diaphragm 1400 may not cover the support 1200. In this specification, "A covers B" means that A is in direct contact with B and blocks B so that B is not visible from the outside. The second diaphragm 1400 may be spirally wound around the support 1200 along the electrode assembly 1300 without overlapping.

[0076] As a non-limiting example, in the manufacturing process of the linear three-electrode secondary battery 1000, after the electrode assembly 1300 is wound onto the support 1200, the second separator 1400 can be wound along the electrode assembly 1300 onto the support 1200.

[0077] As a non-limiting example, the second separator 1400 may be part of the electrode assembly 1300. That is, the electrode assembly 1300 may be a laminate in which the first electrode 1310, the first separator 1330, the second electrode 1320, and the second separator 1400 are sequentially stacked. In this case, during the manufacturing process of the linear three-electrode secondary battery 1000, when the electrode assembly 1300 is wound onto the support 1200, the second separator 1400 may be wound onto the support 1200. The second separator 1400 may be located on the second electrode current collector 1320CC.

[0078] The material and structure of the second diaphragm 1400 are the same as those described above for the first diaphragm 1330.

[0079] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 Packaging 1500 can cover the second diaphragm 1400. Packaging 1500 can protect all components except the first electrode contact 1310T, the second electrode contact 1320T and the reference electrode contact from the external environment.

[0080] In some embodiments, packaging 1500 may include a bag made of polymeric material. As a non-limiting example, the bag made of polymeric material may include one or more of PET, PVC, HDPE, and epoxy resin.

[0081] In some embodiments, packaging 1500 may additionally include a moisture-proof layer, an insulating layer, a heat-sealing layer, etc. As a non-limiting example, the moisture-proof layer may include a metal such as aluminum. As a non-limiting example, the insulating layer may include polyester or polyamide. As a non-limiting example, the heat-sealing layer may include polypropylene, polycarbonate, polyethylene, etc.

[0082] [Second Implementation]

[0083] Regarding the second embodiment, only the differences from the first embodiment will be described.

[0084] Figure 7 An electrode assembly wound on a support is shown schematically in another embodiment.

[0085] Figure 8 The diagram schematically illustrates a portion of an electrode assembly wound and overlapping on a support in another embodiment.

[0086] refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 The electrode assembly 1300 can be spirally wound around the support 1200 to overlap. However, as mentioned above, since the electrode assembly 1300 can typically have lower flexibility and / or flexurality than the support 1200, the flexibility and / or flexurality of the linear three-electrode secondary battery 1000 may be significantly reduced if the electrode assemblies 1300 overlap too much. In some embodiments, the electrode assemblies 1300 can overlap in the range of 0.1 to 0.5 times the width W of the electrode assembly 1300. (See reference...) Figure 8 The length of the overlap width OL can be in the range of 0.1 to 0.5 times the width W of the electrode assembly 1300.

[0087] The second embodiment may have lower flexibility and / or flexurality than the first embodiment, but may have higher performance, such as capacity, than the first embodiment.

[0088] [Third Implementation Method]

[0089] Regarding the third embodiment, only the differences from the first embodiment will be described.

[0090] Figure 10 A second diaphragm covering the electrode assembly is schematically shown in another embodiment.

[0091] Reference Figure 10In some embodiments, the second diaphragm 1400 may cover not only the electrode assembly 1300, but also the support 1200.

[0092] The third implementation may have better security than the first implementation.
