[0029] Specifically, the structure of the battery negative plate inside the battery improves the wettability with the electrolyte, effectively improving the performance of the battery.
[0030] The battery is a lithium battery.
[0031] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the battery negative plate includes a current collector 10 and an active layer 20, the active layer 20 is coated on at least one side of the surface of the current collector 10, the active layer 20 has a plurality of groove structures 30 arranged in sequence and spaced apart along the length direction of the current collector 10, the groove structure 30 is arranged along the width direction of the current collector 10, and the plurality of groove structures 30 along the length direction of the current collector 10 separates the active layer 20 into a plurality of regions 210, and each region 210 has a plurality of hole structures 40.
[0032] The groove structure 30 extends along the width direction of the current collector 10, and the groove structure 30 is provided in plurality, the plurality of groove structures 30 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the current collector 10 to form a setting region 210 of the hole structure 40 between the adjacent two groove structures 30, and the plurality of hole structures 40 are arranged inside the region 210.
[0033] In this embodiment, the current collector 10 is a copper foil or a carbon-coated copper foil, and the active layer 20 is arranged on the surface of the current collector 10. The active layer 20 not only has the effect of forming a gap in the active layer 20 for the flow of electrolyte, but also has the effect of improving the strength of the current collector 10 by arranging the active layer 20 on the side surface of the current collector 10.
[0034] When it is a carbon-coated copper foil, the thickness of the copper foil is 3-12μm, and the thickness of the carbon-coated layer of the carbon-coated copper foil is 0.2-2μm.
[0035] It should be noted that the active layer 20 of the present application is a coating layer containing active substances, which can be directly coated on the copper foil or on the copper foil with a carbon-coated layer.
[0036] In this embodiment, the length direction of the current collector 10 is the X direction as shown in Figure 1 , and the width direction of the current collector 10 is the Y direction as shown in Figure 1 . It can be understood that the length and width of the current collector 10 in the present application are not limited by the position of placement.
[0037] In this embodiment, the groove structure 30 and the hole structure 40 are processed by laser, that is, the groove is engraved by laser, and the hole is made by laser. The application of laser processing technology not only realizes the high-precision manufacturing of the groove structure 30 and the hole structure 40, but also can be flexibly adjusted according to different battery design requirements, improves the flexibility and efficiency of battery manufacturing, and reduces the production cost.
[0038] Specifically, the negative electrode sheet of the battery in this application adopts a hole structure 40 and a groove structure 30 arranged alternately along the length direction of the current collector 10, which shortens the electrolyte injection time of the battery, increases the electrolyte retention capacity, improves the wettability of the electrode, and is conducive to extending the cycle life, thereby improving the battery's service life and performance stability.
[0039] This application processes the active layer 20 to form corresponding groove structures 30 and pore structures 40, which facilitates the surface treatment of the active layer 20. The groove structure 30 has the function of retaining and guiding the liquid, and the pore structure 40 has the function of retaining the liquid. The groove structure 30 and pore structure 40 effectively improve the liquid retention performance and wettability of the electrode. In particular, the alternating arrangement of the groove structure 30 and pore structure 40 further improves the uniformity of electrolyte penetration, which is conducive to ensuring the stability of battery performance.
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, multiple groove structures 30 are arranged at equal intervals and in parallel along the length direction of the current collector 10.
[0041] The multiple slot structures 30 are arranged at equal intervals, which helps to achieve consistency in liquid retention in area 210. At the same time, the multiple slot structures 30 are arranged in parallel, which helps to assist in the later winding to form the battery cell, facilitates bending, and helps to improve winding efficiency, thereby improving the production efficiency of the battery cell.

[0043] In this embodiment, the groove depth H of the groove structure 30 is 10%-70% of the thickness of the active layer 20. If the groove depth of the groove structure 30 is too large, it will affect the strength of the electrode sheet. If the groove depth of the groove structure 30 is too small, it will affect the liquid retention effect and wettability.
[0044] In this application, the groove depth H of the groove structure 30 satisfies 3μm≤H≤30μm.
[0045] In this embodiment, along the length direction of the current collector 10, the distance W between the two opposing inner walls of the groove structure 30 satisfies 20μm≤W≤120μm. The two opposing inner walls of the groove form the groove width. If the groove width is too wide, it will affect the strength of the electrode. If the groove width of the groove structure 30 is too small, it will affect the liquid retention effect and wettability.

If the distance between the two groove structures 30 is too large, the liquid retention effect and the wettability are not good, and if the distance between the two groove structures 30 is too small, the strength of the pole piece is affected.

[0051] In the embodiment, a plurality of hole structures 40 are arranged in each region 210, and the plurality of hole structures 40 are arranged at equal intervals along the length and width directions of the current collector 10. The equal interval arrangement of the hole structure 40 is beneficial to improve the uniformity of the permeability, and at the same time, the plurality of interval arranged hole structures 40 have the liquid retention effect, and the arrangement of the hole structure 40 does not affect the strength of the pole piece.
[0052] In the embodiment, the hole depth h of the hole structure 40 satisfies 5μm≤h≤50μm, the diameter D of the hole structure 40 satisfies 10μm≤D≤100μm, and the distance L between the two adjacent hole structures 40 satisfies 50μm≤L≤300μm.
[0053] In the embodiment, the hole depth, diameter and hole distance of the hole structure 40 can be adaptively arranged according to the size of the current collector 10. If the hole depth and diameter are too large, the strength of the pole piece is affected, if the hole depth and diameter are too small, the liquid retention capacity and wettability are affected, if the hole distance is too large, the liquid retention capacity is affected, and if the hole distance is too small, the strength of the pole piece is affected.
[0054] In the embodiment, the opening of the hole structure 40 is circular or elliptical, and the specific shape of the hole structure 40 can be adaptively set as required.

[0057] In the embodiment, the number of rows formed by the hole structure 40 is adaptively set according to the setting of the hole distance and the groove distance.
[0058] In the embodiment, when the current collector 10 is a carbon-coated copper foil, the thickness of the copper foil is 3-12 μm, and the thickness of the carbon-coated layer of the carbon-coated copper foil is 0.2-2 μm.

[0062] In the embodiment, the surface laser groove scribing and laser hole forming of the battery negative electrode sheet are performed after the battery negative electrode is coated or after the negative electrode is rolled.
[0063] In the embodiment, the current collector 10 is formed with the active layer 20 on both sides in the thickness direction.
[0064] Specifically, by arranging the active layer 20 on both sides of the current collector 10, the wettability and liquid retention effect of the electrolyte can be further improved, and better protection effect can be achieved.
[0065] In one specific embodiment of the present embodiment, the groove structures 30 on both sides of the current collector 10 are symmetrically arranged along the thickness direction of the current collector 10.
[0066] The symmetrically arranged groove structures 30 are beneficial to improve the flow efficiency of the electrolyte, thereby accelerating the realization of the infiltration efficiency of the electrolyte and improving the liquid retention effect.
[0067] In the present embodiment, the groove structures 30 and the hole structures 40 on both sides of the current collector 10 are symmetrically arranged.
