Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of battery manufacturing, in particular to a structure of a positive electrode sheet of a lithium-ion battery and a battery. Background Art
[0002] A lithium-ion battery is an energy storage device. Since its birth in the 1990s, its applications have extended to all corners of our lives. With the progress of technology and the rapid development and application of smart phones, tablet computers, notebooks, two-wheel vehicles, and portable energy storage, new requirements have been put forward for the performance of lithium-ion batteries, requiring higher capacity and better cycle performance under the same volume conditions, and meeting fast charging and discharging (charging performance 1-5C, discharging performance 1-10C). In the existing design structure of the electrode sheet, usually the tab is welded on the empty foil area at both ends of the current collector aluminum foil or copper foil. This design makes it necessary for electrons to travel a long distance during charge and discharge when the electrode sheet exceeds 1m to reach the tab end from the electrode sheet end or reach the electrode sheet end from the tab end, resulting in a reduction in the battery discharge efficiency and the battery capacity not being fully utilized, and the discharge capacity at currents above 0.5C being affected. Therefore, it is indeed necessary to develop a new design solution to solve the deficiencies in the existing technology. Summary of the Utility Model
[0003] In view of this, the utility model provides a structure of a positive electrode sheet of a lithium-ion battery and a battery, which can improve the internal resistance and discharge efficiency of the battery cell, effectively increase the battery discharge rate capacity by 10%-30% and improve the battery capacity attenuation rate by 5%-10%.
[0004] The technical solution is: a structure of a positive electrode sheet of a lithium-ion battery and a battery, which consists of a positive electrode sheet and a tab. The electrode sheet includes a current collector and an active material layer coated on the surface of the current collector. And a certain size range of empty foil areas are left vacant on two surfaces of the relative middle part of the current collector by means of extrusion coating, and strict size range control is carried out. The positive electrode tab is welded to the empty foil area. The alloy at the lower root of the CPP is connected to the current collector by spot welding, laser welding, or ultrasonic welding. The alloy at the upper root of the CPP is connected to an external protection circuit (protection board, wire, etc.). The negative electrode sheet adopts a traditional process.
[0005] Further, the current collector of the positive electrode sheet is aluminum alloy or coated aluminum alloy.
[0006] Further, the current collector of the negative electrode sheet is copper alloy, coated copper alloy, or composite current collector.
[0007] Further, the active material layer is a positive electrode active material layer or a negative electrode active material layer.
[0008] Furthermore, the tab metal alloy positive electrode is made of aluminum alloy, and the negative electrode is a combination of nickel or nickel-plated copper alloy and CPP insulating glue, which are collectively referred to as tabs.
[0009] The beneficial effects are as follows: In the present utility model, by means of extrusion coating, active material layers of specific sizes are coated on two surfaces of the current collector, and by changing the existing coating method, a fixed empty foil area is left at a relatively middle position of the entire electrode sheet. At the same time, the welding position of the tab is adjusted to this empty foil area. The negative electrode sheet adopts the original process of welding the tab at the head. The positive and negative electrode sheets and the separator are stacked and wound in sequence to form a battery, which can effectively increase the battery discharge rate capacity by 10%-30% and reduce the battery capacity attenuation rate by 5-10%.
