[0009] The solid-state battery cell is provided with a first composite groove at the positive electrode tab portion for the positive electrode tab to bend inward, and a second composite groove at the negative electrode tab portion for the negative electrode tab to bend inward. At this time, an active expansion region is provided in a region that is at the same height as the first composite groove and the second composite groove and is located outside the first composite groove and the second composite groove in the width direction of the solid-state battery cell; that is, in the width direction of the solid-state battery cell, an active expansion region with the same height as the first composite groove and the second composite groove is provided in the space region outside the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab of the solid-state battery cell, enabling the solid-state battery cell to better utilize the space at the tab, thereby greatly increasing the space volume occupied by the electrode portion in the solid-state battery cell and significantly improving the volume energy density of the solid-state battery cell and the solid-state battery. The two composite grooves can also provide a protective effect on the tab portion and reduce the risk of tab breakage.
[0010] In some embodiments, in the solid-state battery cell, an active region that is at the same height as the first composite groove and the second composite groove in the Y direction and is located outside the first composite groove and the second composite groove in the X direction is denoted as the active expansion region;
[0011] The height of the positive electrode body at the active expansion region is higher than the height of the positive electrode body at the first composite groove, and the height of the negative electrode body at the active expansion region is higher than the height of the negative electrode body at the second composite groove;

[0013] In the above-mentioned solid-state battery cell structure, the height of the positive electrode body at the active expansion region is higher than the height of the positive electrode body at the first composite groove, and the height of the negative electrode body at the active expansion region is higher than the height of the negative electrode body at the second composite groove, enabling the solid-state battery cell to better utilize the space at the tab, thereby greatly increasing the space volume occupied by the electrode portion in the solid-state battery cell and significantly improving the volume energy density of the solid-state battery cell and the solid-state battery.
[0014] In some embodiments, H NIt is equal to H0. At this time, the space at the tab can be utilized to the greatest extent to set the electrode active material layer, thereby maximizing the volumetric energy density of the solid-state battery cell and the solid-state battery.
[0015] In some embodiments, the utilization rate ψ of the active expansion region in the Y direction Y = H Δ / H0×100%;
[0016] The solid-state battery cell satisfies one or more of the following characteristics:
[0017] H Δ ≥0.05 mm;
[0018] ψ Y ≥0.05%.
[0019] In some embodiments, the solid-state battery cell satisfies one or more of the following characteristics:
[0020] 0.05 mm ≤ H Δ ≤1 mm;
[0021] 0.1% ≤ ψ Y ≤2%.
[0022] By regulating one or both of the height parameter h of the active expansion region Δ and the utilization rate parameter ψ Y within the aforementioned range, it is beneficial to better utilize the space in the height direction at the tab position.
[0023] In some embodiments, the width of the solid-state battery cell in the X direction is denoted as W0, and the width of the active expansion region in the X direction is denoted as W Δ , and the utilization rate ψ of the active expansion region in the X direction X = W Δ / W0×100%;

[0028] 50 mm ≤ W Δ ≤1000 mm;
[0029] 60% ≤ ψ X≤95%.
[0030] By regulating one or both of the width parameter w of the active expansion region Δ and the utilization rate parameter ψ X within the aforementioned range, it is beneficial to better utilize the space in the width direction at the tab position.
[0031] In some embodiments, the projected area of the solid-state battery cell along the Z direction is denoted as A0, and the projected area of the active expansion region along the Z direction is denoted as A Δ , and the two-dimensional utilization rate ψ of the active expansion region A = A Δ / A0 × 100%;
[0032] The solid-state battery cell satisfies: ψ A ≥0.04%.

[0034] By regulating the two-dimensional utilization rate ψ of the active expansion region A within the aforementioned range, it is beneficial to better comprehensively utilize the idle space at the tab.
[0035] In some embodiments, the stretching height of the positive tab in the Y direction when in the stretched state is greater than the height of the first composite groove in the Y direction;
[0036] The stretching height of the negative tab in the Y direction when in the stretched state is greater than the height of the second composite groove in the Y direction.
[0037] By reserving a certain stretching height for the positive tab or the negative tab, it is convenient to use it as a flexible tab to connect to a rigid tab in subsequent processes.
[0038] In some embodiments, the positive tab includes a positive tab bending portion located within the first composite groove; the negative tab includes a negative tab bending portion located within the second composite groove.
[0039] At least a part of each of the positive tab and / or the negative tab in the solid-state battery cell can be bent inward into the corresponding composite groove. When sufficient height of the positive and negative tabs is reserved, it is beneficial to further increase the volume occupancy rate of the electrode portion in the solid-state battery cell, and can greatly improve the volume energy density of the solid-state battery cell and the solid-state battery.
[0040] In some embodiments, the width of the positive tab in the X direction is less than the width of the first composite groove in the X direction;
[0041] The width of the negative electrode tab in the X direction is less than the width of the second composite groove in the X direction.
[0042] In some embodiments, in the X direction, there are gaps between the positive electrode tab and the two side edges of the first composite groove, and there are gaps between the negative electrode tab and the two side edges of the second composite groove.
[0043] By leaving a certain gap for the two side edges of the corresponding electrode tabs at the composite groove, a suitable moving space can be reserved for the positive and negative electrode tabs, and it also allows the positive and negative electrode tabs to be bent into the composite groove more conveniently.
[0044] In some embodiments, the solid-state battery cell has a laminated structure.
[0045] In some embodiments, the positive electrode body includes at least one layer of positive electrode layer, and each positive electrode layer is provided with grooves corresponding to the first composite groove and the second composite groove respectively. A positive electrode tab is provided at the groove corresponding to the first composite groove in at least one layer of the positive electrode layer;
[0046] The negative electrode body includes at least one layer of negative electrode layer, and each negative electrode layer is provided with grooves corresponding to the second composite groove and the first composite groove respectively. A negative electrode tab is provided at the groove corresponding to the second composite groove in at least one layer of the negative electrode layer;
[0047] The solid electrolyte part includes at least one layer of solid electrolyte layer, and any adjacent positive electrode layer and negative electrode layer are isolated by the solid electrolyte layer; each solid electrolyte layer is provided with empty grooves corresponding to the first composite groove and the second composite groove respectively.
[0048] In some of these embodiments, the positive electrode body includes at least one layer of positive electrode layer, and each positive electrode layer independently includes a positive electrode current collector layer and a positive electrode active material layer located on at least one side of the positive electrode current collector layer. Each positive electrode layer is provided with a positive electrode tab groove, and all the positive electrode tab grooves in the positive electrode body together form a part of the first composite groove. The positive electrode current collector layer in at least one layer of the positive electrode layer is connected with a positive electrode tab at the corresponding positive electrode tab groove, and all the positive electrode tabs connected by the positive electrode body together form at least a part of the positive electrode tab;
[0049] The negative electrode body includes at least one layer of negative electrode layers. Each negative electrode layer independently includes a negative electrode current collector layer and a negative electrode active material layer located on at least one side of the negative electrode current collector layer. All the negative electrode layers are provided with negative electrode tab grooves. All the negative electrode tab grooves in the negative electrode body together form a part of the first composite groove. The negative electrode current collector layer in at least one layer of the negative electrode layers is connected with a negative electrode tab at the corresponding negative electrode tab groove. All the negative electrode tabs connected to the negative electrode body together form at least a part of the negative electrode tab portion.
[0050] When the solid-state battery cell adopts the aforementioned stacked structure, at the first composite groove, the concave space for the positive electrode tab to bend inward can be formed by combining the positive electrode tab groove on the positive electrode layer, the empty groove on the negative electrode layer, and the empty groove on the solid electrolyte layer; at the second composite groove, the concave space for the negative electrode tab to bend inward can be formed by combining the negative electrode tab groove on the negative electrode layer, the empty groove on the positive electrode layer, and the empty groove on the solid electrolyte layer.
[0051] In some embodiments, the number of layers of the positive electrode layers in the positive electrode body is multiple; the number of layers of the negative electrode layers in the negative electrode body matches the number of layers of the positive electrode layers in the positive electrode body.
[0052] When the number of layers of the positive electrode layers in the positive electrode body is multiple and the number of layers of the negative electrode layers in the negative electrode body is multiple and matching, the stacked structure corresponds to a multi-layer stacked structure. At this time, using the aforementioned active expansion region structure design is beneficial to gain more volumetric energy density at the tab space.
[0053] In some embodiments, multiple positive electrode layers in the positive electrode body are connected with the positive electrode tab; multiple negative electrode layers in the negative electrode body are connected with the negative electrode tab.
[0054] When multiple positive electrode layers in the positive electrode body are all connected with the positive electrode tab and multiple negative electrode layers in the negative electrode body are all connected with the negative electrode tab, it is more beneficial to save the waste of the internal space of the shell caused by the stacking of multiple tabs.

[0094] The improvement effects described in this application are not intended to be limited to any theory unless otherwise specified.
[0095] In traditional solid-state batteries, the die-cut soft tab is located outside the electrode active material layer. After assembling into a battery cell, the soft tab hangs outside the active area of the electrode sheet. In order to be able to transfer to a hard tab after fitting multiple soft tabs together after putting them into the shell, a certain space inside the shell needs to be reserved for the soft tab. After encapsulating the electrode assembly into the shell, since the soft tab occupies a certain height space, there is always a certain gap between the top of the electrode sheet and the bottom of the shell. The area outside the tab corresponding to this gap is usually vacant, resulting in a fixed loss of the space inside the shell. In addition, the side of the soft tab is easily stressed and cracked, increasing the impedance of the battery cell and affecting the performance of the battery cell.
[0096] In the present application, the "soft tab" can be obtained by die-cutting the current collector in the electrode sheet, and at the same time, a current collector layer that matches the position of the electrode active material layer is obtained. That is to say, the soft tab and the current collector layer in the electrode sheet can be integrated. However, it is not limited thereto. Non-restrictively, the material of the soft tab can be the same as that of the corresponding current collector layer. In some non-restrictive embodiments, the soft tab and the current collector layer can be from the same film material. At least a part of the film material forms the current collector layer, and at least another part forms the soft tab. At this time, the soft tab and the current collector layer in the electrode sheet can be integrated.
[0097] In the present application, unless otherwise specified, the "hard tab" refers to the tab segment located outside the battery case, which is a metal conductor used to lead out the positive and negative electrodes from the battery cell. Non-restrictively, aluminum can be used as the metal part of the positive hard tab, and nickel can be used as the metal part of the negative hard tab.
[0098] Based on this, the present application provides a solid-state battery cell, a solid-state battery monomer, a solid-state battery, and an electrical device. The solid-state battery cell can be used to improve the energy density of the battery.
[0099] In some embodiments, the solid-state battery cell includes a stacked positive electrode portion, a solid electrolyte portion, and a negative electrode portion.

[0141] In some of these embodiments, H P >(H0 - H Δ ) and H N >(H0 - H Δ ).
[0142] In the present application, unless otherwise specified, the "height of the positive electrode body in the Y - direction" refers to the maximum height of the positive electrode body in the Y - direction. In some embodiments, the height of the positive electrode body in the Y - direction is equal to the sum of the height of the positive electrode body at the first composite groove and the height of the first composite groove.

[0144] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the "height of the solid-state battery cell in the Y direction" refers to the maximum height of the electrode body in the Y direction. Unless otherwise specified, the "height of the solid-state battery cell in the Y direction" does not cover the height of the tab portion.
[0145] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the "maximum height of the active expansion region in the Y direction" is consistent with the maximum depth of the first composite groove and the second composite groove in the Y direction.
[0146] The solid-state battery cell has a certain extension length in the X direction and a certain extension height in the Y direction. The two top edges of the solid-state battery cells with a certain spacing in the Y direction can be denoted as "the two side edges of the solid-state battery cell extending in the X direction" or "the two side edges of the solid-state battery in the Y direction".

[0148] In this application, "at least one side edge extending in the X direction, the solid-state battery cell is provided with two composite grooves" means that the solid-state battery cell is provided with two composite grooves, and these two composite grooves are located on the same side edge of the solid-state battery cell extending in the X direction, or are respectively located on different side edges of the solid-state battery cell extending in the X direction. That is, these two composite grooves can be located on the same side of the solid-state battery cell in the Y direction, or can be located on different sides of the solid-state battery cell in the Y direction. Figure 1 In the non-limiting embodiments shown, the first composite groove and the second composite groove are located on the same side edge of the solid-state battery cell extending in the X direction.
[0149] When these two composite grooves are located on different sides of the solid-state battery cell in the Y direction, correspondingly, the positive tab and the negative tab are located on different sides of the solid-state battery cell.

[0166] By adjusting the width parameter w of the active expansion region Δand the utilization rate parameter ψ X When one or both of the regulations in X are within the foregoing ranges, it is beneficial to better utilize the space in the width direction at the tab position.

[0168] In this application, unless otherwise specified, the "projected area of the solid-state battery cell in the Z direction" refers to the projected area of the electrode body part in the Z direction, excluding the projected area of the tab part in the Z direction.
[0169] In some embodiments, the solid-state battery cell satisfies: ψ A ≥0.04%.
[0170] In some embodiments, the solid-state battery cell satisfies: ψ A ≥0.05%.

[0173] By regulating the two-dimensional utilization rate ψ of the active expansion region A within the foregoing ranges, it is beneficial to better comprehensively utilize the idle space at the tab. It can be understood that, compared with the solid-state battery cell without an active expansion region, the percentage increase in the volume energy density of the solid-state battery cell with an active expansion region is usually higher than ψ A .

At least a part of each of the positive electrode tab and / or the negative electrode tab in the solid-state battery cell can be bent inward into the corresponding composite groove. With sufficient height reserved for the positive and negative electrode tabs, it is beneficial to further increase the volume occupancy rate of the electrode portion in the solid-state battery cell, and can significantly improve the volume energy density of the solid-state battery cell and the solid-state battery.

[0189] In some embodiments, in the X direction, there is a gap between the positive electrode tab portion and the two side edges of the first composite groove, and there is a gap between the negative electrode tab portion and the two side edges of the second composite groove.

[0257] Those skilled in the art can understand that in the methods of each embodiment or example, the writing order of each step does not mean a strict execution order that constitutes any limitation to the implementation process, and the detailed execution order of each step should be determined by its function and possible internal logic. If there is no special instruction, all steps of this application can be carried out in sequence or randomly, and preferably in sequence. For example, method M includes steps (a) and (b), indicating that this method can include steps (a) and (b) carried out in sequence, or can also include steps (b) and (a) carried out in sequence. For example, method M may further include step (c), indicating that step (c) can be added to method M in any order. For example, method M can include steps (a), (b), and (c), or can also include steps (a), (c), and (b), or can also include steps (c), (a), and (b), etc.
[0258] The positive electrode tab grooves in the positive electrode plates, the negative electrode tab grooves in the negative electrode plates, the third empty grooves and the fourth empty grooves in the solid electrolyte membrane plates can all be prepared by laser cutting technology.
[0259] Taking the preparation of the positive electrode plate by the wet method as an example, a method including the following steps can be used to prepare a positive electrode plate provided with a positive electrode tab groove and a first empty groove:
[0260] S12: Coat the positive electrode paste on a preset area on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector film, leave concave blank areas at preset positions of the positive electrode tab groove and the first empty groove, and after drying, form a positive electrode active material layer with an inner concave blank area, obtaining a positive electrode multilayer body including a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode active material layer with an inner concave blank area;
[0261] S14: Use laser cutting technology to die-cut the positive electrode current collector film to obtain a positive electrode current collector layer matching the shape of the positive electrode active material layer, form a positive electrode tab connected to the positive electrode current collector layer at a preset position of the positive electrode tab groove, and form a first empty groove at a preset position of the first empty groove. Further, the positive electrode tab groove corresponds to a first composite groove in the solid-state battery cell that provides space for the positive electrode tab part, and the first empty groove corresponds to a second composite groove in the solid-state battery cell that accommodates at least a part of the negative electrode tab.
[0262] It can be understood that in step S12, the positive electrode paste is composed of the constituent raw materials and solvent of the positive electrode active material layer. After drying, the solvent is removed, and the remaining components form the corresponding positive electrode active material layer.
[0263] In step S12, the concave blank areas are not coated with the positive electrode paste. After drying, the formed positive electrode active area correspondingly has inner concave blank areas, and the inner concave contour of the inner concave blank areas can guide the die-cutting trajectory in the subsequent die-cutting step.
[0264] The positive electrode tab formed in step S14 generally belongs to the category of "soft tab".
[0265] In step S14, when die-cutting, the positive electrode current collector film at the positive electrode tab retains a part matching the width of the positive electrode tab groove, so that the positive electrode tab remains connected to the positive electrode current collector layer. That is, at this time, the positive electrode tab and the positive electrode current collector are integrated; in the width direction, both sides of the positive electrode tab are separated from the edge of the positive electrode current collector layer, enabling the positive electrode tab to be bent in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the positive electrode current collector film. Further, there is a gap between both sides of the positive electrode tab and the edge of the positive electrode current collector layer.
[0266] In step S14, when die-cutting, the positive electrode current collector film at the first empty groove is cut and removed. When assembling the solid-state battery cell subsequently, this first empty groove can correspond to the position of the negative electrode tab groove, enabling the negative electrode tab to be bent in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the negative electrode sheet. In addition, in a solid-state battery cell where the number of negative electrode layers of the negative electrode body is greater than 1 and the number of negative electrode tabs is greater than 1, there is no residue of the positive electrode current collector film between multiple negative electrode tabs in the negative electrode tab part.
[0267] Taking the preparation of the negative electrode sheet by the wet method as an example, a method including the following steps can be used to prepare a negative electrode sheet provided with a negative electrode tab groove and a second empty groove:
[0268] S22: Coating the negative electrode paste on a preset area on at least one surface of the negative electrode current collector film material, forming concave blank areas at preset positions of the negative electrode tab groove and the second empty groove, and drying to form a negative electrode active material layer with an inner concave blank area, obtaining a negative electrode multilayer body including a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material layer with an inner concave blank area;
[0269] S24: Using laser cutting technology to die-cut the negative electrode current collector film material, obtaining a negative electrode current collector layer matching the shape of the negative electrode active material layer, forming a negative electrode tab connected to the negative electrode current collector layer at a preset position of the negative electrode tab groove, and forming a second empty groove at a preset position of the second empty groove. Further, the negative electrode tab groove corresponds to at least a part of the second composite groove in the solid-state battery cell for accommodating the negative electrode tab, and the second empty groove corresponds to at least a part of the first composite groove in the solid-state battery cell for accommodating the positive electrode tab.
[0270] It can be understood that in step S22, the negative electrode paste is composed of the constituent raw materials and solvents of the negative electrode active material layer. After drying, the solvents are removed, and the remaining components form the corresponding negative electrode active material layer.
[0271] In step S22, the concave blank area is not coated with the negative electrode paste. After drying, the formed negative electrode active area correspondingly has an inner concave blank area, and the inner concave contour of the inner concave blank area can guide the die-cutting trajectory in the subsequent die-cutting step.
[0272] The negative electrode tab formed in step S24 generally belongs to the category of "soft tab".
[0273] In step S24, when die-cutting, the negative electrode current collector film material at the negative electrode tab retains a part matching the width of the negative electrode tab groove, so that the negative electrode tab is connected to the negative electrode current collector layer; in the width direction, both sides of the negative electrode tab are separated from the edge of the negative electrode current collector layer, enabling the negative electrode tab to be bent in a direction perpendicular to the surface of the negative electrode current collector film material. Further, there is a gap between both sides of the negative electrode tab and the edge of the negative electrode current collector layer.
[0274] In step S24, when die-cutting, the negative electrode current collector film material at the second empty groove is cut and removed.

[0334] Comparative Examples 1 - 17: Traditional process, without an active expansion area.
[0335] Comparative Examples 1-17 did not have an active expansion area based on Examples 1-17 respectively; when applying the positive electrode paste in step S12 of preparing the positive electrode sheet, the positive electrode paste was not applied to the height area corresponding to the positive electrode tab groove, that is, the area corresponding to the active expansion area of Examples 1-17 was not coated with the positive electrode paste.

When die-cutting in step S24, the height of the negative electrode tab was kept unchanged, and the area of the negative electrode current collector film material not coated with the negative electrode paste was cut off.
[0336] Analysis method:
[0337] I. Volume utilization improvement rate contributed by the active expansion area to the solid-state battery.
[0338] Volume utilization improvement rate: It can be estimated according to the percentage of the area of the active expansion area relative to the active area of the electrode sheet without the active expansion area.
[0339] According to the parameters in Table 1, it can be calculated by the following formula:
[0340] Volume utilization improvement rate = (W Δ ×H Δ ) / (W0×(H 0- H Δ )) × 100%.
[0341] The analysis results can be referred to Table 1.
[0342] II. Utilization rate parameters of the active expansion area
[0343] 1. The utilization rate of the active expansion area in the Y direction (the height direction of the solid-state battery cell) can be estimated by the following formula: ψ Y = H Δ / H0×100%.
[0344] 2. The utilization rate of the active expansion area in the X direction (the width direction of the solid-state battery cell) can be estimated by the following formula: ψ X = W Δ / W0×100%.
[0345] 3. The two-dimensional utilization rate of the active expansion area can be estimated by the following formula: ψ A = A Δ / A0×100%, where the projected area of the solid-state battery cell along the Z direction (the thickness direction of the solid-state battery cell) is denoted as A0, and the projected area of the active expansion area along the Z direction is denoted as A Δ , A0 = W0×H0, AΔ = H Δ × (W0 - W Δ ).
[0346] Analysis result:
[0347] Compared with Comparative Examples 1 - 17 without an active expansion region, the structural designs of Examples 1 - 17 can significantly improve the volume utilization rate of the solid-state battery, and thus can improve the volume energy density of the battery.
[0348] In Examples 1 - 16, taking the number of stacked layers of the positive electrode sheet = the number of positive electrode layers in the positive electrode body = 5 as an example, it can be understood that those skilled in the art can replace it with other required numbers of positive electrode layers according to the battery thickness, and the same or substantially the same effect of improving the volume energy density of the battery can be achieved, such as Example 17.
