[0042] In the description of the present application, the description of the terms "one embodiment", "some embodiments", "exemplary embodiment", "example", "specific example", or "some examples" means that the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described in combination with the embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present application. In the present specification, the exemplary description of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described can be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0043] The embodiments of the present application are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification:

[0044] Reference Figures 1 to 4According to the electrode core, the electrode core is in a winding structure, and the electrode core comprises an anode sheet 100, a cathode sheet 200, a first diaphragm 300, and a second diaphragm 400. The anode sheet 100 comprises an anode first flat section 110, and the anode first flat section 110 comprises a winding starting end of the anode sheet 100. The cathode sheet 200 comprises a cathode first flat section 210, and the cathode first flat section 210 comprises a winding starting end of the cathode sheet 200. The first diaphragm 300 comprises a first flat section 310 and a second flat section 320. The first flat section 310 comprises a winding starting end of the first diaphragm 300. The first flat section 310 and the second flat section 320 are arranged in sequence and spaced apart along a winding direction of the electrode core. The second diaphragm 400 comprises a third flat section 410, and the third flat section 410 comprises a winding starting end of the second diaphragm 400. The first diaphragm 300, the anode sheet 100, the second diaphragm 400, and the cathode sheet 200 are arranged in a stack along a first direction, and the first direction is understood as a thickness direction of the electrode core.

[0045] The first flat section 310, the second flat section 320, and the third flat section 410 are arranged in a stack along the first direction to define a first stacking area 510. The first stacking area 510 is located between the anode first flat section 110 and the cathode first flat section 210. The side of the cathode first flat section 210 close to the first stacking area 510 comprises a first empty foil area. The projection of the first empty foil area along the first direction is located within the range of the cathode first flat section 210, so that the part covered by the projection of the first empty foil area in the first stacking area 510 can avoid hindering the transmission of lithium ions, that is, the part covered by the projection of the first empty foil area in the first stacking area 510 can avoid the lithium ion transmission path and avoid the transmission and migration of lithium ions through the three diaphragms. This is beneficial to guarantee the charge and discharge performance of the electrode core and prolong the service life of the electrode core.

[0046] In addition, compared with the scheme in which the opposite sides of the cathode first flat section 210 are coated with active substances, the first empty foil area is arranged in the present application. On the one hand, the cathode first flat section 210 is thinner, and the space occupation of the electrode core is reduced, which is beneficial to improve the energy density of the electrode core. On the other hand, the arrangement of the first empty foil area can also balance the increased thickness of the first flat section 310, the second flat section 320, and the third flat section 410 arranged in a stack, so that the thickness of the electrode core is more uniform, and the flatness of the electrode core is improved.

[0047] Reference Figures 1 to 4In some embodiments, along the first direction, the side of the anode first flat section 110 close to the first layering area 510 comprises a second empty foil area, the projection of the second empty foil area in the first direction is located in the first empty foil area, that is, the projection of the first empty foil area and the second empty foil area in the first direction has an overlapping area. Therefore, by blocking the first empty foil area and the second empty foil area through the three-layer separator, not only can the short circuit caused by the direct contact between the anode sheet 100 and the cathode sheet 200 be avoided, but also the migration path of lithium ions can be avoided, and the lithium ion migration between the anode active material and the cathode active material through the three-layer separator can be avoided, thereby ensuring the cycle performance of the battery cell.

[0048] It should be understood that, on the basis of the first empty foil area, the second empty foil area is arranged, which can reduce the thickness of the anode first flat section 110, so that the volume of the battery cell is further reduced, which is beneficial to improve the volume energy density of the battery cell.

[0049] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In other embodiments, along the first direction, the first empty foil area and the second empty foil area are both projected in the first layering area 510, the projection edge of the first empty foil area coincides with the edge of the first layering area 510, and the projection edge of the second empty foil area coincides with the edge of the first layering area 510, so that the projection size and shape of the first empty foil area, the second empty foil area and the first layering area 510 in the first direction are the same, and then, on the basis of avoiding the migration of lithium ions through the three-layer separator, the energy density of the battery cell can also be ensured.

[0050] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the winding starting end of the first separator is a first winding starting end, the winding starting end of the cathode sheet is a second winding starting end, along the first direction, the anode first flat section 110, the second flat section 320 and the cathode first flat section 210 are layered to define a second layering area 520, along the second direction, the second layering area 520 is arranged adjacent to the first layering area 510, the second layering area 520 is located between the first winding starting end and the second winding starting end, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. In the second layering area 520, the side of the anode first flat section 110 and the cathode first flat section 210 close to the second flat section 320 is coated with active material, on the one hand, the coated active material can balance the thickness difference caused by the layering of the first flat section 310, the second flat section 320 and the third flat section 410, so that the thickness of the battery cell is more uniform, on the other hand, in the second layering area 520, the active material on the side of the anode first flat section 110 and the cathode first flat section 210 facing each other further improves the energy density of the battery cell.

[0051] Specifically, the first flat section 310 and the third flat section 410 are located in the first stacking area 510, a part of the second flat section 320 is located in the first stacking area 510, another part of the second flat section 320 is located in the second stacking area 520, and the part of the second flat section 320 located in the second stacking area 520 is used to block the anode first flat section 110 and the cathode first flat section 210, that is, in the second stacking area 520, the anode sheet 100 and the cathode sheet 200 are only separated by a single layer of the separator. In the first stacking area 510, one side of the cathode first flat section 210 facing the second flat section 320 is a first empty foil area, and one side of the anode first flat section 110 facing the second flat section 320 is a second empty foil area. In the second stacking area 520, one side of the anode first flat section 110 facing the second flat section 320 is coated with an active material, and one side of the cathode first flat section 210 facing the second flat section 320 is coated with an active material. Therefore, without changing the stacking structure of the first flat section 310, the second flat section 320, and the third flat section 410, the energy density of the battery cell can be improved.

[0052] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, in the second stacking area 520, one side of the anode first flat section 110 facing the cathode first flat section 210 is coated with a first active material layer 111, and one side of the cathode first flat section 210 facing the anode first flat section 110 is coated with a second active material layer 231. In the first direction, the first active material layer 111 and the second active material layer 231 are separated by the second flat section 320, which is used to prevent direct contact between the first active material layer 111 and the second active material layer 231 to avoid short circuit of the battery cell. In the first direction, the first active material layer 111 projects on the cathode first flat section 210 and covers the second active material layer 231. Therefore, the first active material layer 111 can provide more reaction sites, which is beneficial to improve the lithium precipitation phenomenon of the battery cell, ensure the charge and discharge performance of the battery cell, and prolong the service life of the battery cell.

[0053] It should be understood that the first active material layer 111 and the second active material layer 231 are separated only by the second flat section 320. Specifically, the anode sheet 100 further includes an anode second flat section 120, which is arranged in sequence with the anode first flat section 110 along the winding direction of the battery cell, and the cathode first flat section 210 is located between the anode first flat section 110 and the anode second flat section 120 in the first direction.

[0054] Reference Figures 1 to 4In some embodiments, the first active material layer 111 has a thickness greater than that of the second active material layer 231, thereby providing more reaction sites for the second active material layer 231 to further improve the lithium precipitation phenomenon of the battery cell and further prolong the service life of the battery.

[0055] With reference to Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments, based on the projection of the first active material layer 111 along the first direction covering the second active material layer 231, the first active material layer 111 covers the winding start end of at least one of the first separator 300 and the second separator 400 along the first direction, and the projections of the first separator 300 and the second separator 400 along the first direction are both located outside the range of the second active material layer 231, so that at least one of the first separator 300 and the second separator 400 can be arranged closer to the second active material layer 231 along the second direction (perpendicular to the first direction), so that the structure of the battery cell is more compact, which is beneficial to improve the energy density of the battery cell.

[0056] For example, the projection of the first active material layer 111 along the first direction includes a first part covering the second active material layer 231, and a second part extending beyond the edge of the second active material layer 231 along the second direction, the first separator 300 includes a winding start end, the second part covers at least a part of the winding start end of the first separator 300 along the first direction, and the winding start end of the first separator 300 is located outside the range of the first part, so that the winding start end of the first separator 300 can be arranged closer to the second active material layer 231, so that the structure of the battery cell is more compact, and the transmission of lithium ions between the first active material layer 111 and the second active material layer 231 can be avoided.

[0057] Alternatively, the second separator 400 includes a winding start end, the second part covers at least a part of the winding start end of the second separator 400 along the first direction, and the second separator 400 is located outside the range of the first part, so that the winding start end of the second separator 400 can be arranged closer to the second active material layer 231, so that the structure of the battery cell is more compact, and the transmission of lithium ions between the first active material layer 111 and the second active material layer 231 can be avoided.

[0058] Alternatively, the first and second separators 300 and 400 each include a winding start end, the second portion covers at least a part of the winding start ends of the first and second separators 300 and 400 in the first direction, and the first and second separators 300 and 400 are each located outside the range of the first portion, so that the first and second separators 300 and 400 can be arranged closer to the second active material layer 231, which is beneficial to improve the utilization rate of the inner ring area space of the battery cell and improve the energy density of the battery cell. In addition, the first and second separators 300 and 400 are each located outside the range of the first portion, which is used to avoid hindering the transmission of lithium ions between the first and second active material layers 111 and 231.

[0059] It should be noted that the first flat section 210 includes the winding start end of the first separator 300, and the third flat section 410 includes the winding start end of the second separator 400, so that the second portion covers the winding start end of the first separator 300 and / or the winding start end of the second separator 400. It should be understood that the second portion covers a part of the first flat section 210 and / or the third flat section 410.

[0060] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the cathode sheet 200 further includes a first corner section 220, which is connected to the cathode first flat section 210 at a first connection. In the first direction, the anode first flat section 110 projects on the cathode sheet 200, and in the second direction, the projection of the anode first flat section 110 is 0-5 mm away from the first connection, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction. For example, the distance between the two can be any value of 0, 1 mm, 2 mm, 3 mm, 4 mm and 5 mm, so that the anode first flat section 110 is closer to the first corner section 220. On the one hand, it ensures that the anode first flat section 110 covers the first layer stack area 510 in the first direction, so that the battery cell is more compact. On the other hand, the side of the anode first flat section 110 away from the first layer stack area 510 can also be opposite to the active material on the surface of the cathode sheet 200, which is beneficial to improve the energy density of the battery cell.

[0061] It should be noted that the winding start end of the first diaphragm 300 is a first winding start end, and the first stacking area 510 is located between the first winding start end and the first connection in the second direction, so that the projection of the anode first flat section 110 in the first direction covers at least part of the first stacking area 510, the part of the first stacking area 510 covered by the projection of the anode first flat section 110 in the first direction has a thickness which is the sum of the thicknesses of the anode first flat section 110 and the first stacking area 510. The part of the first stacking area 510 not covered by the projection of the anode first flat section 110 in the first direction has a thickness which is the thickness of the first stacking area 510, so that the anode first flat section 110 is closer to the first corner section 220 in the second direction, facilitating the projection of the anode first flat section 110 in the first direction to more thoroughly cover the first stacking area 510, so that the thicknesses of different parts of the battery cell tend to be more uniform.

[0062] Reference Figures 1 to 4 In some embodiments, the cathode sheet 200 further comprises a first corner section 220 and a cathode second flat section 230, and the anode sheet 100 further comprises an anode second flat section 120, which are arranged in sequence in the winding direction of the battery cell, and in the first direction, one end of the first corner section 220 is connected to the cathode first flat section 210, the other end of the first corner section 220 is connected to the cathode second flat section 230, the anode first flat section 110 is located between the cathode first flat section 210 and the cathode second flat section 230, the anode second flat section 120 is located on the side of the cathode first flat section 210 away from the anode first flat section 110, the side of the anode first flat section 110 facing the cathode second flat section 230 is coated with a third active material layer 112, and the side of the cathode second flat section 230 facing the anode first flat section 110 is coated with a fourth active material layer 232.
