Description

[0002] Lithium ion battery has become the main power source for consumer electronics and electric vehicles due to its many advantages. With the increasing demand of people, lithium ion battery gradually develops towards fast charging, long life, high energy density and high safety.

[0003] With the wide application of lithium ion battery, higher requirements are put forward for its performance, which has gradually promoted the development of lithium ion battery towards high energy density and high rate. The laminated battery cell is widely used in the field of fast charging and high energy density battery due to its small internal resistance, high energy density and long cycle life.

[0004] When the thickness of the battery cell is constant, the thinner the thickness of the foil, the more the active material content can be increased. Therefore, using high-strength thin foil can effectively improve the energy density of the battery cell, but the active material at the edge of the pole piece is easy to fall off during the cutting of the pole piece. If the active material falls on the separator and is hot pressed, it will cause the separator to be damaged, causing the positive and negative electrodes to be directly connected, forming an internal short circuit, which will further increase the voltage decay, and ultimately lead to an increase in the K value of the battery cell and poor performance.

[0039] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of the present application.

[0040] The embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 8

[0041] According to the embodiments of the present application, in one aspect, an electric core is provided, comprising: a first electrode 1, a diaphragm 102 and a plurality of second electrodes 2, wherein the diaphragm 102 comprises sub-diaphragms located on opposite sides of the first electrode 1, the sub-diaphragms comprise extension parts beyond the first electrode 1 along the width direction of the first electrode 1, and the extension parts are bonded to each other; the first electrode 1 and the diaphragm 102 form a composite diaphragm electrode sheet, the composite diaphragm electrode sheet has a plurality of flat areas 103 and circular arc areas 104, the circular arc areas 104 are connected to adjacent flat areas 103, and the circular arc areas 104 have inner arc top ends; the plurality of second electrodes 2 are cross-stacked with the flat areas 103, and the end parts of the second electrodes 2 and the circular arc areas 104 are oppositely arranged along the width direction; the second electrode 2 has a first side surface 201 facing the circular arc area 104, and the distance between the first side surface 201 and the inner arc top end is A, wherein A≥0.1mm.

[0042] When the electric core of the present embodiment is manufactured, the first electrode 1 and the diaphragm 102 are compounded together to form a composite diaphragm electrode sheet, and then the continuous composite diaphragm electrode sheet is Z-stacked with the plurality of second electrodes 2. The edge of the continuous first electrode 1 does not have burrs, and the edge of the discontinuous second electrode 2 inevitably has burrs when cut. The burr of the second electrode 2 directly faces the circular arc area 104 of the continuous electrode, which is easy to pierce the diaphragm 102 and contact the continuous first electrode 1, thereby causing short circuit. In order to avoid short circuit, the distance between the first side surface 201 of the second electrode 2 and the inner arc top end of the circular arc area 104 is greater than or equal to 0.1mm. This distance can prevent the edge transverse burr of the second electrode 2 from piercing the diaphragm 102 of the circular arc area 104 and the first electrode 1 to form short circuit, thereby avoiding thermal runaway caused by battery short circuit and improving the safety performance of the battery.

[0043] It should be noted that the first electrode 1 is a continuous electrode sheet strip, and the second electrode 2 is a single electrode sheet after cutting.

[0044] In one embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 ​As shown, the first electrode 1 at the circular arc region 104 and the inner side of the sub-septum are provided with a first insulating layer 3. The inner side of the first electrode 1 at the circular arc region 104 is provided with the first insulating layer 3, which can effectively improve the insulation performance of the circular arc region and prevent the second electrode 2 from piercing the septum 102 and the first electrode 1 to cause short circuit.

[0045] Further, the surface resistance of the first insulating layer 3 is greater than the surface resistance of the septum 102. The greater the surface resistance of the first insulating layer 3, the stronger the ability to prevent leakage, thereby improving the overall insulation effect. The first insulating layer 3 is made of an insulating material, and the surface resistance of the insulating material is ≥100Ω / cm 2 .

[0046] Specifically, the first insulating layer 3 includes at least one of an inert substance coating, an organic high polymer insulating coating, and an insulating adhesive paper. The inert substance coating has the advantages of high temperature resistance, good electrical insulation performance, and high mechanical strength. The organic high polymer insulating coating has the advantages of good flexibility and ductility, easy processing, light weight, and the like. The insulating adhesive paper has the advantages of strong usability and easy removal.

[0047] Further, the material of the inert substance coating includes a binder and an inert substance, the binder includes at least one of polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, polyacrylate, polyimide, polyamide, polyamide-imide, styrene-butadiene rubber, sodium alginate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylonitrile, polyacrylate, polyacrylic acid, sodium polyacrylate, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl ether, polymethyl methacrylate, or polyhexafluoropropylene; and the inert substance includes at least one of silicon dioxide, aluminum fluoride, aluminum oxide, silicon monoxide, magnesium oxide, titanium oxide, hafnium dioxide, tin oxide, cerium dioxide, nickel oxide, zinc oxide, calcium oxide, zirconium oxide, yttrium oxide, silicon carbide, boehmite, aluminum hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, or barium sulfate.

[0048] Further, the organic high polymer insulating coating includes at least one of polyimide, silicone resin, epoxy resin, polyurethane, acrylic resin, silicone mastic, polytetrafluoroethylene, polystyrene, polyethylene, and polypropylene.

[0049] Further, the insulating adhesive paper includes one of polyimide, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) adhesive paper, barley paper, aramid paper, glass fiber adhesive tape, and polypropylene adhesive paper.

[0050] In one embodiment, as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the first side surface 201 is provided with the second insulating layer 4, and the second insulating layer 4 covers the current collector 1011 of the second electrode 2. The second insulating layer 4 covers the edge of the current collector 1011 of the second electrode 2, which can effectively improve the insulation performance of the edge of the second electrode 2 and prevent the edge of the current collector 1011 of the second electrode 2 from piercing the diaphragm 102 to cause short circuit.

[0051] Further, the surface resistance of the second insulating layer 4 is greater than the surface resistance of the diaphragm 102. The greater the surface resistance of the second insulating layer 4, the stronger the ability to prevent leakage, thereby improving the overall insulation effect. The second insulating layer 4 is made of an insulating material, and the surface resistance of the insulating material is ≥100Ω / cm2.

[0052] Specifically, the second insulating layer 4 includes at least one of an inert substance coating, an organic polymer insulating coating, and an insulating adhesive paper. The materials of the first insulating layer 3 and the second insulating layer 4 are the same, and will not be described in detail here.

[0053] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 The second electrode 2 has two opposite surfaces, and the second insulating layer 4 covers the portions of the two surfaces close to the circular arc region 104 and the first side surface 201. The second insulating layer 4 is in a U shape, and the second insulating layer 4 covers the first side surface 201 of the second electrode 2 and the edge portions of the two surfaces. The edge of the second electrode 2 has better insulation performance, which effectively prevents the edge of the second electrode 2 from piercing the diaphragm 102 of the first electrode 1, thereby improving the safety and reliability of the battery.

[0054] In one embodiment, the thickness B of the second insulating layer 4 is 4μm-20μm, and the width C of the second insulating layer 4 along the extension direction of the flat region 103 is 10μm-20μm. The thickness B of the second insulating layer 4 is greater than the height of the longitudinal burr of the first electrode 1, which can effectively prevent the burr of the second electrode 2 from piercing the diaphragm 102 to cause short circuit. The width C of the second insulating layer 4 is greater than the edge powder width of the first electrode 1, which can effectively prevent the edge powder from causing the battery to fail the pressure test after hot pressing and the dust from falling into the battery to cause the battery to fail the K value.

[0055] It should be noted that the longitudinal direction of the first electrode 1 refers to the direction perpendicular to the surface of the first electrode 1, i.e., the Z stacking direction of the battery cell. The K value refers to the voltage drop of the battery per unit time.

[0056] In one embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 After the battery cell is unfolded, the distance D between the first side surface 201 and the side of the first insulating layer 3 close to the first side surface 201 is 0.2mm-10mm. The distance D ensures that the first insulating layer 3 does not enter the opposite region of the first electrode 1 and the second electrode 2, thereby ensuring the consistency of the battery thickness and reducing the battery internal resistance.

[0057] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the thickness E of the first insulating layer 3 is 5μm-20μm, and the width F of the first insulating layer 3 along the unfolding direction of the cell is 1mm-10mm. The thickness E of the first insulating layer 3 is greater than the height of the longitudinal burr of the first electrode 1, and the width of the first insulating layer 3 can effectively cover the arc area 104, effectively preventing the burr of the second electrode 2 from piercing the separator 102 and causing a short circuit, thus ensuring the insulation performance of the battery.

[0058] In one embodiment, the thickness E of the first insulating layer 3 is 5 μm-20 μm, and the first electrode 1 includes a current collector 1011 and active material layers 1012 located on both sides of the current collector 1011. At least a portion of the active material layer 1012 on the inner side of the arc region 104 has a thinning region 10121, the thickness G of the thinning region 10121 is 10 μm-100 μm, and the thickness H of the active material layer 1012 in the straight region 103, wherein E+G≤H. This structure reduces the thickness of the arc region 104, ensuring that the two sides are not excessively thick, preventing the formation of bubbles when the separator 102 and the first electrode 1 are combined, and reducing the risk of lithium plating in the arc region of the battery.

[0059] Furthermore, the two ends of the arc region 104 are thinning areas 10121, or the entire arc region 104 is a thinning area 10121.

[0060] Specifically, the middle portion of the inner side of the current collector 1011 in the arc region 104 is not coated with the active material layer 1012, while the two ends of the inner side of the current collector 1011 in the arc region 104 are coated with the active material layer 1012. The first insulating layer 3 has a middle portion 301 disposed on the current collector 1011 without the active material layer 1012 and an overlapping portion 302 overlapping the active material layer 1012. The current collector 1011 without the active material layer 1012 can also be referred to as the empty foil region.

[0061] It should be noted that, Figure 6 and Figure 7 The rectangular dashed box in the figure refers to the active material layer 1012 that was removed.

[0062] In one embodiment, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the first electrode 1 includes a current collector 1011 and active material layers 1012 located on both sides of the current collector 1011. At least a portion of the active material layer 1012 on the inner side of the arc region 104 has a thinning region 10121. The width F of the first insulating layer 3 along the unfolding direction of the cell and the width K of the thinning region 10121 along the unfolding direction of the cell satisfy: 30% ≤ F / K < 100%. This structure reduces the thickness of the arc region 104, ensuring that the two sides are not excessively thick, preventing the formation of bubbles when the separator 102 and the first electrode 1 are combined, and reducing the risk of lithium plating in the arc region of the battery.

[0063] Furthermore, F is 1mm-15mm, and K is 1mm-30mm.

[0064] It should be noted that the units for the thickness H of the active material layer 1012 in the flat region 103, the width F of the first insulating layer 3, and the width K of the thinning region 10121 are all mm.

[0065] In one embodiment, such as Figure 8 As shown, the first electrode 1 is the positive electrode, and the second electrode 2 is the negative electrode. The first electrode 1 in the flat region 103 includes a current collector 1011 and an active material layer 1012 disposed on the current collector 1011. The second electrode 2 also has a second side 202 disposed opposite to the first side 201. The active material layer 1012 has a third side 10122 and a fourth side 10123 disposed at intervals along the winding direction of the battery cell. The third side 10122 is disposed close to the first side 201, and the fourth side 10123 is disposed close to the second side 202. The distance J between the first side 201 and the third side 10122 and the distance J between the second side 202 and the fourth side 10123 are 0.1mm-3mm. This distance reduces the energy density loss of the battery and ensures that the negative electrode covers the positive electrode, reducing the risk of lithium plating in the battery.

[0066] It is understood that in another embodiment, the first electrode 1 is the negative electrode and the second electrode 2 is the positive electrode.

[0067] It should be noted that, Figures 1 to 5 The black area refers to the active material layer of the second electrode 2. Figure 8 The black area in the figure refers to the active material layer of the first electrode 1.

[0068] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in another aspect, a secondary battery is also provided, comprising: the aforementioned battery cell.

[0069] Furthermore, the first electrode 1 and the diaphragm 102 are combined into a continuous composite diaphragm electrode sheet. The arc region 104 of the first electrode 1 is provided with a first insulating layer 3. The first insulating layer 3 is provided in the thinning area 10121 or empty foil area at the arc region 104 of the continuous first electrode 1. The edge of the discontinuous second electrode 2 is provided with a second insulating layer 4.

[0070] During cell manufacturing, the first electrode 1 with multiple tabs is thermally bonded to the separator 102 to form a continuous composite separator electrode sheet. Then, it is Z-stacked with several second electrodes 2. This effectively prevents the active material on the first electrode 1 from falling onto the separator 102 during cutting, which would affect the cell's K-value. This also prevents damage to the separator 102 from causing micro-short circuits inside the cell, effectively reducing the cell's K-value. At the same time, in the width direction, one electrode sheet of the cell is always covered by the arc area 104 of another electrode sheet, leaving no allowance. This simplifies the process and significantly improves process efficiency. It can reduce the short circuit rate of the continuous electrode arc area of ​​the thermally bonded Z-stacked battery, with a battery insulation resistance ≥0.1 megohms; reduce micro-short circuits in the thermally bonded Z-stacked battery, with a K-value less than 0.1 mV / h; and ensure the thickness consistency of the thermally bonded Z-stacked battery, with a battery flatness ≤0.1 mm.

[0071] In one embodiment, the secondary battery further includes a casing, the casing having a receiving cavity, and the battery cell being disposed within the receiving cavity of the casing. The casing protects the battery cell from physical damage and chemical corrosion. Secondary batteries offer advantages such as high energy density, long cycle life, no memory effect, and low self-discharge rate.

[0072] Although embodiments of the invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
