[0034] In the related art, internal short circuit of lithium-ion batteries is one of the main factors causing thermal runaway. When a short circuit occurs, the current increases instantly, and a large amount of heat is generated inside the battery. However, the soft-pack battery cell structure is limited and the heat cannot be directly discharged to the outside. As a result, the battery temperature rises rapidly, causing a violent reaction between the active material and the electrolyte, leading to thermal runaway. To address the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a coil and a lithium-ion battery that can block the heat transfer of the negative electrode ear, thereby reducing the risk of thermal runaway.

[0035] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the structure of the winding core shown in the embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 It is a partially enlarged schematic diagram of the winding core shown in the embodiment of the present application.

[0037] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present application provides a winding core 100, comprising a positive electrode sheet 101, a negative electrode sheet 102, and a separator 103 located between the positive electrode sheet 101 and the negative electrode sheet 102 ( Figure 1 and Figure 2 The positive electrode sheet 101 is connected to the positive electrode tab 111, and the negative electrode sheet 102 is connected to the negative electrode tab 112; wherein, the negative electrode sheet 102 is affixed with a first heat-blocking adhesive tape 122 on both sides of the surface where the negative electrode tab 112 is connected, and the second heat-blocking adhesive tape is affixed to the empty foil area on both sides of the connection between the negative electrode sheet 102 and the negative electrode tab 112.

[0038] The winding core provided in the present application has a first heat barrier layer provided on both side surfaces of the negative electrode tab, and a second heat barrier layer is provided on the empty foil area opposite to the two sides of the negative electrode tab after the negative electrode sheet is wound. The first heat barrier layer and the second heat barrier layer can not only reduce the risk of short-circuit contact between the positive and negative electrodes, but also can block the heat transfer in the negative electrode tab, thereby reducing the risk of thermal runaway of the battery.

[0039] In some embodiments, the negative electrode tab 112 is connected to a region of the negative electrode sheet 102 in the winding core 100 near an end 1021 of the negative electrode sheet 102 , and the first heat-blocking tape 122 is attached to both sides of the negative electrode sheet 102 near the end 1021 .

[0040] In some embodiments, the first heat barrier layer 122 and the second heat barrier layer 132 are adhesive tapes with heat barrier properties. Alternatively, in other embodiments, the first heat barrier layer 122 and the second heat barrier layer 132 are coated colloids with heat barrier properties to block heat transfer from the negative electrode tab.

[0041] Furthermore, the first heat barrier layer 122 and the second heat barrier layer 132 are made of high-temperature resistant adhesive tape. High-temperature resistant adhesive tape maintains its adhesion at high temperatures, resists peeling and deformation, and improves battery performance stability. The high-temperature resistant temperature range is 150-500°C, but is not limited thereto and can also be above 500°C. In some embodiments, the high-temperature resistant adhesive tape can be polyimide (PI) tape, silicone tape, or PET tape.

[0042] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first thermal barrier layer 122 and / or the second thermal barrier layer 132 is greater than or equal to 16 μm.

[0043] In some embodiments, the negative electrode tab 112 includes a tab substrate connected to the negative electrode sheet, with a nickel-plated layer provided on the surface of the tab substrate. The tab substrate can be a metal with good electrical conductivity, such as copper. In some embodiments, the negative electrode tab substrate can also be made of nickel. Using nickel or copper-plated nickel for the negative electrode tab can provide a good electron transmission path, improve electrical conductivity, enhance heat dissipation, and ensure efficient operation of the battery.

[0044] In some embodiments, the separator 103 comprises a composite base film composed of multiple different or identical materials, characterized by a high melting point and a low pore-closing temperature. The low pore-closing temperature means that when the battery experiences an abnormal condition (such as overcharging or a short circuit) that causes the internal temperature to rise, the separator 103 can automatically close its pores at a relatively low temperature, preventing further electrolyte flow and thus effectively preventing thermal runaway and explosion. The high melting point ensures that the separator maintains its structural integrity and stability even in high-temperature environments, preventing melting and causing internal short circuits in the battery. The separator 103 of this application exhibits low pore-closing and high rupture temperatures, effectively increasing the difference between the pore-closing and rupture temperatures, thereby enhancing battery safety. When a large amount of heat is generated within the battery and the temperature approaches the melting point of the polymer material (110-130°C), the separator's pores close, creating a thermal shutdown. This blocks further ion transmission, creating a short circuit and protecting the battery. This also improves the ductility and tensile strength of the composite separator 103, thereby enhancing its puncture resistance.

[0045] In some embodiments, the diaphragm 103 is made of at least one of PP, PE, and PP materials, but is not limited thereto and may also be other materials having similar properties to the above materials.

[0046] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the structure of the lithium-ion battery shown in the embodiment of the present application.

[0047] See also Figure 1 and Figure 3 The present application provides a lithium-ion battery, which includes a battery body 200, wherein the battery body includes a winding core 100 as described in any one of the above embodiments, wherein the positive electrode sheet 101 of the winding core 100 is led out with a positive electrode tab 111, and the negative electrode sheet 102 is led out with a negative electrode tab 112; wherein the winding core 100 is encapsulated by an aluminum-plastic film 201, and the aluminum-plastic film 201 is a synthetic film whose encapsulation strength decreases at a preset temperature.

[0048] In some embodiments, the aluminum-plastic film 201 is made by a thermal process, or the aluminum-plastic film 201 is made by compounding aluminum foil and CPP with polyethylene (MPP). The polyethylene (MPP) is modified to bond the aluminum foil and CPP. Thermal synthesis is performed at a certain temperature. The inner layer CPP has a low melting point and is not affected at normal temperatures. When used at ultra-high temperatures, the packaging strength will be reduced, and flatulence can be easily discharged when it occurs, preventing explosion, thereby improving the safety of battery use.

[0049] In this embodiment, the positive electrode tab 111 and / or the negative electrode tab 112 are encapsulated with a low-melting-point composite tab glue and an aluminum-plastic film 201, wherein the failure temperature of the inner side of the low-melting-point tab glue is ≤130°C. In this way, encapsulation with the aluminum-plastic film 201 can be achieved at a lower temperature, which helps to reduce energy consumption during the packaging process and reduce the potential impact of high temperature on battery performance.

[0050] In related technologies, when a lithium battery experiences a safety risk short circuit, the current instantly increases, generating a large amount of heat inside the battery. However, due to the structural limitations of the soft-pack battery cell, the heat cannot be directly discharged to the outside, causing the battery temperature to rise rapidly, triggering a violent reaction between the active material and the electrolyte, leading to thermal runaway. The lithium-ion battery of this application can not only reduce the probability of short-circuit contact between the positive and negative electrodes inside the lithium-ion battery, but also block the transfer of heat to the negative electrode tab. In addition, the aluminum-plastic film is a synthetic film whose packaging strength decreases at a preset temperature. Therefore, when a short circuit occurs, the heat can be discharged in time, preventing the occurrence of combustion or explosion, thereby improving the safety of battery use.

[0051] The present application also provides an electrical device, wherein the device body is equipped with a lithium-ion battery as described in the above embodiment. The electrical device of the present application can be an electronic device such as a mobile power bank, a smartphone, a tablet computer, or a laptop computer. Because the electrical device of the present application includes the lithium-ion battery of the above embodiment, thermal runaway of the lithium-ion battery can be prevented, thereby improving the safety and service life of the electrical device.

[0052] The embodiments of the present application have been described above. The above description is illustrative and not exhaustive, and is not limited to the disclosed embodiments. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the described embodiments. The terminology used herein is selected to best explain the principles of the embodiments, their practical applications, or improvements to the technology in the market, or to enable other persons skilled in the art to understand the embodiments disclosed herein.
