Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of batteries, in particular to a battery. Background Art
[0002] Lithium-ion batteries are widely used in portable electronic devices such as mobile phones and laptops due to their high energy density and long cycle life, and their application in electric vehicles is also increasing. With the increase in energy density and charge and discharge rate, as well as the diversification of application scenarios, higher requirements are placed on the safety performance of lithium-ion batteries.
[0003] When lithium-ion batteries encounter mechanical abuse such as heavy impact, extrusion, and needle puncture, they are prone to trigger internal short circuits in the battery, causing fires, combustion, explosions, and other situations. When mechanical abuse occurs, many complex internal short-circuit sites will be generated inside the lithium-ion battery. Among various short-circuit methods, the contact between the positive electrode collector and the negative electrode sheet is the most dangerous, which can easily cause the battery to catch fire. In order to avoid this most dangerous short-circuit method, a common solution is to set a high-impedance safety primer layer in the positive electrode sheet to reduce the short-circuit current. However, the introduction of a high-impedance safety primer layer will increase the resistance of the positive electrode sheet, resulting in a decrease in the battery rate performance, and the presence of the safety primer layer will reduce the energy density of the battery.
[0004] Therefore, on the basis of ensuring the safety performance of the battery, it is particularly important to reduce the impact of the safety primer layer on the battery rate performance and energy density. Utility Model Content

[0043] After research, it was found that when the ratio of the average thickness of the first safety coating to the average thickness of the second safety coating is within a specific range, the rate performance and energy density can be improved without affecting the overall puncture safety and heavy object impact safety of the battery. The ratio of the average thickness of the first safety coating to the average thickness of the second safety coating can be 1: (1-10), for example, 1: 1, 1: 2, 1: 3, 1: 4, 1: 5, 1: 6, 1: 7, 1: 8, 1: 9 or 1: 10.
[0044] In one example, a ratio of an average thickness of the first safety coating layer to an average thickness of the second safety coating layer is 1:(2-5).
[0045] The specific testing method for the average thickness of the first safety coating and the average thickness of the second safety coating is as follows: take a first positive electrode sheet, take 30 measuring points at equal distances in a first direction, measure the thickness of the first safety coating and the thickness of the second safety coating at each measuring point respectively, and take the average value.
[0046] In one example, in the first positive electrode sheet, at least a portion of the second surface of the positive electrode collector is provided with the first safety coating.
[0047] In one example, in the first positive electrode sheet, at least a portion of the second surface of the positive current collector is provided with the first safety coating, and at least a portion of the surface of the first safety coating away from the positive current collector is provided with the second safety coating.

[0049] In one example, in the first positive electrode sheet, the second surface of the positive current collector has a first safety coating layer and the active coating layer is located on a side of the first safety coating layer away from the first positive current collector.
[0050] In one example, in the first positive electrode sheet, the second surface of the positive electrode collector has a first safety coating, a second safety coating located on a side of the first safety coating away from the first positive electrode collector, and an active coating located on an outer surface of the first positive electrode sheet.
[0051] like Figure 5 The structure diagram of the first positive electrode sheet in an example of the utility model is shown in FIG. Figure 5 In (a), the second surface of the positive electrode current collector 1 has a first safety coating 2 and an active coating 4 located on the side of the first safety coating 2 away from the positive electrode current collector 1; Figure 5 In (b), the second surface of the positive current collector 1 has a first safety coating 2, a second safety coating 3 located on the side of the first safety coating 2 away from the positive current collector 1, and an active coating 4 located on the outer surface of the first positive electrode sheet.
[0052] In one example, the average thickness of the first safety coating can be 0.1μm-15μm, for example, 0.1μm, 0.2μm, 0.3μm, 0.4μm, 0.5μm, 0.6μm, 0.7μm, 0.8μm, 0.9μm, 1μm, 2μm, 3μm, 4μm, 5μm, 6μm, 7μm, 8μm, 9μm, 10μm, 11μm, 12μm, 13μm, 14μm or 15μm.
[0053] In one example, the average thickness of the first security coating layer is 0.2 μm-0.5 μm.
[0054] In one example, the average thickness of the second safety coating can be 0.1μm-15μm, for example, 0.1μm, 0.2μm, 0.3μm, 0.4μm, 0.5μm, 0.6μm, 0.7μm, 0.8μm, 0.9μm, 1μm, 2μm, 3μm, 4μm, 5μm, 6μm, 7μm, 8μm, 9μm, 10μm, 11μm, 12μm, 13μm, 14μm or 15μm.
[0055] In one example, the average thickness of the second security coating is 0.5 μm-2 μm.
[0056] In the present invention, there is no special limitation on the shapes of the first safety coating and the second safety coating in the cross section of the first positive electrode sheet along the thickness direction. The shape of the first safety coating in the cross section of the first positive electrode sheet along the thickness direction can be a rectangle or a triangle. The shape of the second safety coating in the cross section of the first positive electrode sheet along the thickness direction can be a rectangle or a triangle. Figure 6 The schematic diagram of the shape of the first safety coating and the second safety coating in the cross section of the first positive electrode sheet along the thickness direction in one example of the utility model is shown. Figure 6 In (a)-6(d), the shape of the first safety coating is a rectangle, and the shape of the second safety coating is a triangle; Figure 6 In (e), the shape of the first safety coating is a triangle, and the shape of the second safety coating is a triangle.
[0057] After research, it was found that when the ratio of the average thickness of the first safety coating to the average thickness of the active coating is too small (for example, less than 1:500), the average thickness of the first safety coating is thinner, and when mechanical damage occurs, the short-circuit impedance is too low to provide effective protection; and when the ratio of the average thickness of the first safety coating to the average thickness of the active coating is too large (for example, greater than 1:4), the average thickness of the first safety coating is thicker, which will not only cause a greater loss of energy density of the battery, but also reduce the transmission speed of electrons, thereby affecting the rate performance of the battery.
[0058] In one example, the ratio of the average thickness of the first safety coating to the average thickness of the active coating can be 1:(4-500), for example, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, 1:7, 1:8, 1:9, 1:10, 1:20, 1:30, 1:40, 1:50, 1:60, 1:70, 1:80, 1:90, 1:100, 1:200, 1:300, 1:400 or 1:500.
[0059] In one example, the ratio of the average thickness of the first safety coating layer to the average thickness of the active coating layer is 1:(80-200).
[0060] After research, it was found that when the ratio of the average thickness of the first safety coating to the average thickness of the second safety coating is within a specific range, when the ratio of the average thickness of the second safety coating to the average thickness of the active coating is too small (for example, less than 1:500), the average thickness of the second safety coating is thinner, and when mechanical damage occurs, the short-circuit impedance is too low and cannot play an effective protective role; and when the ratio of the average thickness of the second safety coating to the average thickness of the active coating is too large (for example, greater than 1:4), the average thickness of the second safety coating is thicker, which will not only cause a large loss of energy density of the battery, but also reduce the transmission speed of electrons, thereby affecting the rate performance of the battery.
[0061] In one example, the ratio of the average thickness of the second safety coating to the average thickness of the active coating can be 1:(4-500), for example, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, 1:7, 1:8, 1:9, 1:10, 1:20, 1:30, 1:40, 1:50, 1:60, 1:70, 1:80, 1:90, 1:100, 1:200, 1:300, 1:400 or 1:500.
[0062] In one example, the ratio of the average thickness of the second safety coating to the average thickness of the active coating is 1:(20-80).
[0063] In one example, the active coating layer may have an average thickness of 20 μm-100 μm, for example, 20 μm, 30 μm, 40 μm, 50 μm, 60 μm, 70 μm, 80 μm, 90 μm or 100 μm.
[0064] In one example, the active coating has an average thickness of 30 μm to 50 μm.
[0065] The test method for the average thickness of the active coating is as follows: take a first positive electrode sheet, take 30 measurement points at equal distances in a first direction, measure the thickness of the active coating at each measurement point, and take the average value.
[0066] In the present invention, the first safety coating can be distributed continuously in the first direction, or can be distributed at intervals in the first direction. The second safety coating can be distributed continuously in the first direction, or can be distributed at intervals in the first direction. Figure 7 The diagram shows the distribution of the first safety coating and the second safety coating in the first direction in an example of the present invention. Figure 7 In (a), the first safety coating is continuously distributed in the first direction, and the second safety coating is distributed at intervals in the first direction; Figure 7 (b), the first safety coating is continuously distributed in the first direction, and the second safety coating is continuously distributed in the first direction; Figure 7 (c), the first safety coating is distributed at intervals in the first direction, and the second safety coating is distributed continuously in the first direction; Figure 7 In (d), the first safety coatings are distributed at intervals in the first direction, and the second safety coatings are distributed at intervals in the first direction.

[0083] In one example, the first safety coating may include a groove exposing the positive electrode current collector, and the positive electrode tab may be located in the groove. Figure 8 The figure shows a schematic top view of the first positive electrode sheet in an example of the utility model. It can be seen from the figure that the first positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode collector 1, a first safety coating 2 and a second safety coating 3 which are stacked in sequence; the first safety coating 2 includes a groove 5 exposing the positive electrode collector 1, and the first positive electrode sheet also includes a positive electrode ear 4, and the positive electrode ear 4 is located in the groove 5.

[0085] After research, it was found that setting the second safety coating at least in the area prone to short circuit can improve the energy density and rate performance of the battery while minimizing the adverse effects on needle puncture safety and heavy object impact safety.
[0086] In one example, along the winding direction of the first positive electrode sheet, starting from the winding start end, the orthographic projection area of the second safety coating located in the front half of the first positive electrode sheet on the positive electrode collector accounts for a larger proportion than the orthographic projection area of the second safety coating located in the rear half of the first positive electrode sheet on the positive electrode collector.

Fig. 9The figure shows a schematic diagram of a winding core in an example of the utility model. It can be seen from the figure that the winding core may include a straight area 7 and a bending area 6. The parts framed by dotted lines in the figure are the first straight area and the second straight area, and the first bending area and the second bending area are connected to the first straight area and the second straight area.

[0090] In one example, the first positive electrode sheet located in the first bending region and / or the second bending region includes the first safety coating and / or the second safety coating.
[0091] In one example, a side of the first positive electrode sheet close to the center of the winding core includes the first safety coating, and a side of the first positive electrode sheet away from the center of the winding core includes the first safety coating and the second safety coating.

[0094] In one example, the first positive electrode sheet is wound from the head end to the tail end, and in the first direction, the size of the first safety coating layer continuously distributed from the tail end of the first positive electrode sheet accounts for 1%-100% of the size of the positive electrode collector, for example, 1%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% or 100%. Fig.10 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the size of the first safety coating layer continuously distributed at the tail end of the first positive electrode sheet in an example of the present invention. It can be seen from the figure that in the first direction, the size of the first safety coating layer 2 continuously distributed from the tail end of the first positive electrode sheet is L1, and the size of the positive electrode current collector 1 is L.
[0095] In one example, in the first direction, the size of the first safety coating layer continuously distributed from the tail end of the first positive electrode sheet accounts for 50%-100% of the size of the positive electrode current collector.
[0096] After research, it was found that when the percentage of the size of the first safety coating continuously distributed from the tail end of the first positive electrode sheet in the first direction to the size of the positive electrode collector is within a specific range, the battery's needle puncture safety and heavy object impact safety can be significantly improved.
[0097] In one example, the thickness of the first safety coating layer near the tail end of the first positive electrode sheet is greater than or equal to the thickness of the first safety coating layer far from the tail end of the first positive electrode sheet. Figure 6 As shown in (a), the thickness of the first safety coating 2 near the tail end of the first positive electrode sheet is equal to the thickness of the first safety coating 2 away from the tail end of the first positive electrode sheet; Figure 6 As shown in (e), the thickness of the first safety coating 2 near the tail end of the first positive electrode sheet is greater than the thickness of the first safety coating 2 away from the tail end of the first positive electrode sheet.

Fig.11 The figure shows a schematic diagram of the size of the second safety coating layer continuously distributed at the tail end of the first positive electrode sheet in an example of the present invention. It can be seen from the figure that in the first direction, the size of the second safety coating layer 3 continuously distributed from the tail end of the first positive electrode sheet is L2, and the size of the positive electrode current collector 1 is L.
[0099] In one example, in the first direction, the size of the second safety coating layer continuously distributed from the tail end of the first positive electrode sheet accounts for 25%-50% of the size of the positive electrode current collector.
[0100] In one example, the thickness of the second safety coating layer near the tail end of the first positive electrode sheet is greater than or equal to the thickness of the second safety coating layer far from the tail end of the first positive electrode sheet.

[0101] After research, it was found that when the size of the second safety coating continuously distributed from the tail end of the first positive electrode sheet in the first direction accounts for a percentage of the positive electrode collector size within a specific range, the battery's needle puncture safety and heavy object impact safety can be significantly improved.
[0102] In one example, in the winding direction, the size of the first straight region is equal to the size of the first safety coating. The size of the first straight region is equal to the size of the second safety coating.
[0103] In one example, in the winding direction, the size of the second straight area is equal to the size of the first safety coating. The size of the second straight area is equal to the size of the second safety coating.

[0106] In one example, the first positive electrode sheet may include a positive electrode tab extending outward from a surface of one side of the positive electrode current collector. The positive electrode tab is disposed in contact with the first safety coating. Fig.12 The figure shows a top view of the first positive electrode sheet in an example of the utility model. It can be seen from the figure that the first positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode collector 1, a first safety coating 2 and a second safety coating 3 which are stacked in sequence. The first positive electrode sheet also includes a positive electrode ear 4 extending outward from one side surface of the positive electrode collector 1, and the positive electrode ear 4 is arranged in contact with the first safety coating 2.
[0107] After research, it was found that when the positive electrode tab is placed in contact with the first safety coating, the rate performance of the battery can be further improved.
