[0145] At present, from the development of market situation, the application of battery is more and more widely. The battery is not only applied to the energy storage power supply system of hydropower, thermal power, wind power and solar power station, but also widely used in electric bicycles, electric motorcycles, electric vehicles and other electric vehicles, military equipment, aerospace and other fields. With the continuous expansion of the application field of battery, the demand of its market is also increasing.
[0146] The development of battery technology needs to consider many design factors, such as energy density, cycle life, discharge capacity, charge-discharge rate and other performance parameters. In addition, the yield of the battery also needs to be considered. However, the yield of the battery needs to be further improved at present.
[0147] The solid-state battery has the characteristics of high energy density, and using the solid-state battery in new energy vehicles will significantly improve the endurance of new energy vehicles. In the manufacturing process of the solid-state battery, the positive electrode sheet, the solid-state electrolyte layer and the negative electrode sheet need to be subjected to isostatic pressing treatment to compact them. During the isostatic pressing treatment, the packaging bag packaging the positive electrode sheet, the solid-state electrolyte layer and the negative electrode sheet arranged in layers is placed in the hydraulic oil, and the hydraulic oil is then pressurized to realize the isostatic pressing treatment. However, during the isostatic pressing process, the packaging bag is easily pierced by the electrode sheet, so that the electrode sheet is damaged under the action of hydraulic pressure, resulting in short circuit and lapping of the electrode assembly. Therefore, the yield of the battery needs to be further improved.
[0148] In view of this, the battery monomer provided by the embodiments of the present application includes a shell and an electrode assembly, and the electrode assembly is arranged in the shell. The electrode assembly includes a solid-state electrolyte layer and a plurality of electrode sheets. In the first direction, the solid-state electrolyte layer is arranged between two adjacent electrode sheets, and the active material layer of the electrode sheet facing the solid-state electrolyte layer between the two adjacent electrode sheets has opposite polarity. In the first direction, the four corners of the two electrode sheets farthest apart are provided with chamfered structures.
[0149] The plurality of pole pieces and the solid electrolyte layer are arranged in a stacked manner along the first direction, that is, the electrode assembly is a stacked electrode assembly. For the stacked electrode assembly, during the isostatic pressing process, the pole pieces located at the two ends of the electrode assembly are most likely to pierce the packaging bag along the first direction. In the embodiments of the present application, the two pole pieces farthest apart are the pole pieces located at the two ends of the electrode assembly. By providing the four corners of the two pole pieces farthest apart with chamfered structures, it is beneficial to reduce the risk of the four corners of the two pole pieces farthest apart piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process, and it is beneficial to improve the yield of the battery monomer. In addition, by providing the four corners of the two pole pieces farthest apart with chamfered structures, it is also beneficial to reduce the risk of scratching between the pole pieces and the shell, reduce the risk of damage between the pole pieces and the shell, and improve the reliability of the battery monomer.

[0171] The "polarity of the active material layer of one of the two adjacent electrode sheets 221 facing the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 between the two adjacent electrode sheets 221 is opposite to that of the other electrode sheet 221" means that the polarity of the active material layer of one of the two adjacent electrode sheets 221 facing the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 between the two adjacent electrode sheets 221 is opposite to that of the other electrode sheet 221, in other words, the active material layer of one of the two adjacent electrode sheets 221 facing the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 between the two adjacent electrode sheets 221 is a positive active material layer, and the active material layer of the other electrode sheet 221 facing the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 between the two adjacent electrode sheets 221 is a negative active material layer.

In the embodiment of the present application, the two pole pieces 221 farthest apart are the pole pieces 221 located at the two ends of the electrode assembly 22. By providing the four corners of the two pole pieces 221 farthest apart with chamfer structures 23, it is beneficial to reduce the risk of the four corners of the two pole pieces 221 farthest apart piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process, and it is beneficial to improve the yield of the battery monomer 20.

Please refer to Figure 7 In the embodiment shown in the figure, the chamfer structure 23 of the four corners of the second tab 2212 is the same.

[0205] When the chamfer structure 23 is a round corner 231, the transition is smoother, and it is not easy to produce a new sharp corner.

Moreover, by providing the four corners of each second pole piece 2212 with a round corner 231, it is also more conducive to reducing the risk of the four corners of the plurality of second pole pieces 2212 scratching the shell 21, and it is more conducive to reducing the risk of damage to the plurality of second pole pieces 2212 and the shell 21, and it is conducive to improving the reliability of the battery monomer 20.
[0206] Please refer to Figure 8 In some embodiments, the first pole piece 2211 is a negative pole piece, and the second pole piece 2212 is a positive pole piece.

[0209] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 The structural schematic diagram of the electrode assembly 22 provided by some embodiments of the present application is shown. Figure 10A side view schematic diagram of an electrode assembly 22 is provided for some embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the first electrode tab 2211 is a negative electrode tab, and the second electrode tab 2212 is a positive electrode tab. The length of the first electrode tab 2211 is greater than the length of the second electrode tab 2212, and the width of the first electrode tab 2211 is greater than the width of the second electrode tab 2212. The thickness direction of the first electrode tab 2211 is parallel to the first direction.
[0210] The length of the first electrode tab 2211 is greater than the length of the second electrode tab 2212, and along the length direction of the first electrode tab 2211, both ends of the first electrode tab 2211 exceed the second electrode tab 2212. The width of the first electrode tab 2211 is greater than the width of the second electrode tab 2212, and along the width direction of the first electrode tab 2211, both ends of the first electrode tab 2211 exceed the second electrode tab 2212.
[0211] When the first electrode tab 2211 is a negative electrode tab and the second electrode tab 2212 is a positive electrode tab, by making the length of the first electrode tab 2211 greater than the length of the second electrode tab 2212 and the width of the first electrode tab 2211 greater than the width of the second electrode tab 2212, it is beneficial to reduce the assembly difficulty and realize the overhang design, which is beneficial to reduce the risk of metal ion precipitation.
[0212] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the number of first electrode tabs 2211 is odd, and the number of second electrode tabs 2212 is even. The radius of the fillet 231 of the first electrode tab 2211 in the middle gradually increases to the radius of the fillet 231 of the first electrode tab 2211 at both ends.
[0213] The number of first electrode tabs 2211 is odd, and the number of second electrode tabs 2212 is even. The number of first electrode tabs 2211 is one more than the number of second electrode tabs 2212. For example, when the number of first electrode tabs 2211 is 7, the number of second electrode tabs 2212 can be 6.
[0214] Along the first direction, the radius of the fillet 231 of the first electrode tab 2211 in the middle is the smallest, and the radius of the fillet 231 of the first electrode tab 2211 at both ends is the largest. The radius of the fillet 231 of the first electrode tab 2211 gradually increases from the middle to both ends, in other words, the radius of the fillet 231 of the first electrode tab 2211 close to the middle is smaller than the radius of the fillet 231 of the first electrode tab 2211 away from the middle.
[0215] In order to realize the overhang design, the first pole piece 2211 protrudes out of the second pole piece 2212 in the length direction and the width direction, so that the first pole piece 2211 is more likely to pierce the packaging bag than the second pole piece 2212 during the isostatic pressing process. When the number of the first pole pieces 2211 is odd and the number of the second pole pieces 2212 is even, the radius of the fillet 231 of the middle first pole piece 2211 gradually increases to the radius of the fillet 231 of the first pole piece 2211 at both ends, so that the adjacent two corners of the electrode assembly 22 in the first direction form a spherical transition, thereby further reducing the risk of the plurality of first pole pieces 2211 piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process, and improving the yield of the battery monomer 20.
[0216] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, along the first direction, the first pole piece 2211 located in the middle position is a first intermediate pole piece 22111, and a plurality of second pole pieces 2212 are arranged on both sides of the first intermediate pole piece 22111. In the plurality of second pole pieces 2212 located on the same side of the first intermediate pole piece 22111, the radius of the fillet 231 of the second pole piece 2212 closest to the first intermediate pole piece 22111 gradually increases to the radius of the fillet 231 of the second pole piece 2212 farthest from the first intermediate pole piece 22111.
[0217] When the number of the first pole pieces 2211 is odd, the first pole piece 2211 located in the middle position along the first direction is a first intermediate pole piece 22111. Along the first direction, a plurality of second pole pieces 2212 are arranged on both sides of the first intermediate pole piece 22111.
[0218] In the plurality of second pole pieces 2212 located on the same side of the first intermediate pole piece 22111, the farther the second pole piece 2212 is from the first intermediate pole piece 22111, the larger the radius of the fillet 231 of the second pole piece 2212. Along the first direction, the radius of the fillet 231 of the second pole piece 2212 closest to the first intermediate pole piece 22111 is the smallest, and the radius of the fillet 231 of the second pole piece 2212 farthest from the first intermediate pole piece 22111 is the largest.
[0219] By gradually increasing the radius of the fillet 231 of the second pole piece 2212 closest to the first intermediate pole piece 22111 to the radius of the fillet 231 of the second pole piece 2212 farthest from the first intermediate pole piece 22111 in the plurality of second pole pieces 2212 located on the same side of the first intermediate pole piece 22111, the trend of the radius of the fillet 231 of the plurality of first pole pieces 2211 is adapted, the overhang design is realized, and the area of the second pole piece 2212 is larger, which is beneficial to improve the energy density and reliability of the battery monomer 20.
[0220] Please refer toFigure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the second tab 2212 is equal to the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the first tab 2211 adjacent to the second tab 2212 and on the side of the second tab 2212 away from the first intermediate tab 22111.
[0221] The radius of the rounded corner 231 of the second tab 2212 is a first radius, and the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the first tab 2211 adjacent to the second tab 2212 and on the side of the second tab 2212 away from the first intermediate tab 22111 is a second radius, the first radius is equal to the second radius.
[0222] Please refer to Figure 10 In the first direction, the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the first tab 2211 on the outermost side of the electrode assembly 22 is equal to the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the second tab 2212 adjacent thereto. The radius of the rounded corner 231 of the second tab 2212 adjacent to the first intermediate tab 22111 is equal to the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the first tab 2211 adjacent to the first intermediate tab 22111.
[0223] By making the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the second tab 2212 equal to the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the first tab 2211 adjacent to the second tab 2212 and on the side of the second tab 2212 away from the first intermediate tab 22111, it is beneficial to achieve the overhang design while making the area of the second tab 2212 larger, which is beneficial to improve the energy density and reliability of the battery monomer 20.
[0224] Please refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the first tabs 2211 on both sides of the first intermediate tab 22111 are symmetrically arranged about the first intermediate tab 22111. And / or the second tabs 2212 on both sides of the first intermediate tab 22111 are symmetrically arranged about the first intermediate tab 22111.
[0225] In the first direction, a plurality of first tabs 2211 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first intermediate tab 22111, and a plurality of second tabs 2212 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the first intermediate tab 22111.
[0226] It should be noted that "symmetrically" here means approximately symmetrically, not completely symmetrically.
[0227] By symmetrically arranging the first pole pieces 2211 on both sides of the first intermediate pole piece 22111 about the first intermediate pole piece 22111, the radii of the rounded corners 231 of the two symmetrically arranged first pole pieces 2211 are equal, and in the manufacture of the rounded corners 231, the two symmetrically arranged first pole pieces 2211 can be cut together to facilitate the manufacturing process and reduce the manufacturing cost of the battery monomer 20. By symmetrically arranging the second pole pieces 2212 on both sides of the first intermediate pole piece 22111 about the first intermediate pole piece 22111, the radii of the rounded corners 231 of the two symmetrically arranged second pole pieces 2212 are equal, and in the manufacture of the rounded corners 231, the two symmetrically arranged second pole pieces 2212 can be cut together to facilitate the manufacturing process and reduce the manufacturing cost of the battery monomer 20.
[0228] Please refer to Figure 11 , Figure 11 A side view schematic diagram of the electrode assembly 22 provided by some embodiments of the present application is shown. In some embodiments, the number of first pole pieces 2211 is even, and the number of second pole pieces 2212 is odd. Along the first direction, the second pole piece 2212 located in the middle position is the second intermediate pole piece 22121, and a plurality of first pole pieces 2211 are arranged on both sides of the second intermediate pole piece 22121. Among the plurality of first pole pieces 2211 located on the same side of the second intermediate pole piece 22121, the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the first pole piece 2211 closest to the second intermediate pole piece 22121 gradually increases to the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the first pole piece 2211 farthest from the second intermediate pole piece 22121.
[0229] The number of first pole pieces 2211 is even, the number of second pole pieces 2212 is odd, and the number of first pole pieces 2211 is one more than the number of second pole pieces 2212. For example, when the number of first pole pieces 2211 is 6, the number of second pole pieces 2212 can be 5.
[0230] When the number of second pole pieces 2212 is odd, the second pole piece 2212 located in the middle position along the first direction is the second intermediate pole piece 22121. Along the first direction, a plurality of first pole pieces 2211 are arranged on both sides of the second intermediate pole piece 22121.
[0231] Among the plurality of first pole pieces 2211 located on the same side of the second intermediate pole piece 22121, the farther the first pole piece 2211 is from the second intermediate pole piece 22121, the larger the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the first pole piece 2211. Along the first direction, the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the first pole piece 2211 closest to the second intermediate pole piece 22121 is the smallest, and the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the first pole piece 2211 farthest from the second intermediate pole piece 22121 is the largest.
[0232] To realize the overhang design, the first tab 2211 protrudes out of the second tab 2212 in both length and width directions, so the first tab 2211 is more likely to scratch the shell 21 than the second tab 2212. When the number of the first tabs 2211 is even and the number of the second tabs 2212 is odd, among the first tabs 2211 on the same side of the second middle tab 22121, the radius of the fillet 231 of the first tab 2211 closest to the second middle tab 22121 gradually increases to the radius of the fillet 231 of the first tab 2211 farthest from the second middle tab 22121, so that the two adjacent corners of the electrode assembly 22 in the first direction form a spherical transition, thereby further reducing the risk of the first tabs 2211 piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process, and improving the yield of the battery monomer 20.
[0233] Please refer to Figure 11 In some embodiments, the radius of the fillet 231 of the middle second tab 2212 gradually increases to the radius of the fillet 231 of the second tab 2212 at both ends.
[0234] In the first direction, the radius of the fillet 231 of the middle second tab 2212 is the smallest, that is, the radius of the fillet 231 of the second middle tab 22121 is the smallest among the radii of the fillets 231 of the plurality of second tabs 2212, and the radius of the fillet 231 of the second tab 2212 at both ends is the largest. The radius of the fillet 231 of the second tab 2212 gradually increases from the middle to both ends. In other words, the radius of the fillet 231 of the second tab 2212 close to the second middle tab 22121 is smaller than the radius of the fillet 231 of the second tab 2212 far from the second middle tab 22121.
[0235] By gradually increasing the radius of the fillet 231 of the middle second tab 2212 to the radius of the fillet 231 of the second tab 2212 at both ends, the trend of the radius of the fillet 231 of the plurality of first tabs 2211 is adapted, the overhang design is realized, and the area of the second tab 2212 is large, which is beneficial to improve the energy density and reliability of the battery monomer 20.
[0236] Please refer to Figure 11 In some embodiments, the radius of the fillet 231 of the second tab 2212 is equal to the radius of the fillet 231 of the first tab 2211 adjacent to the second tab 2212 and located on the side of the second tab 2212 away from the second middle tab 22121.
[0237] The radius of the rounded corner 231 of the second tab 2212 is a first radius, and the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the first tab 2211 adjacent to the second tab 2212 and located on a side of the second tab 2212 away from the first intermediate tab 22111 is a second radius, and the first radius is equal to the second radius.
[0238] Please refer to Figure 11 In the first direction, the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the first tab 2211 located at the outermost side of the electrode assembly 22 is equal to the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the second tab 2212 adjacent thereto. The radius of the rounded corner 231 of the first tab 2211 adjacent to the second intermediate tab 22121 is equal to the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the second intermediate tab 22121.
[0239] By equalizing the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the second tab 2212 to the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the first tab 2211 adjacent to the second tab 2212 and located on a side of the second tab 2212 away from the second intermediate tab 22121, it is beneficial to achieve the overhang design while making the area of the second tab 2212 larger, which is beneficial to improve the energy density and reliability of the battery monomer 20.
[0240] Please refer to Figure 11 In some embodiments, the first tabs 2211 located on both sides of the second intermediate tab 22121 are symmetrically arranged about the second intermediate tab 22121. And / or the second tabs 2212 located on both sides of the second intermediate tab 22121 are symmetrically arranged about the second intermediate tab 22121.
[0241] When the number of second tabs 2212 is odd, in the first direction, a plurality of first tabs 2211 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second intermediate tab 22121, and a plurality of second tabs 2212 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the second intermediate tab 22121.
[0242] It should be noted that here "symmetric" means approximately symmetric, not completely symmetric.
[0243] By symmetrically arranging the first pole piece 2211 located on both sides of the first intermediate pole piece 22111 about the second intermediate pole piece 22121, the radii of the rounded corners 231 of the two symmetrically arranged first pole pieces 2211 are equal. When manufacturing the rounded corners 231, the two symmetrically arranged first pole pieces 2211 can be cut together to form the rounded corners 231, which is beneficial to simplify the manufacturing process and reduce the manufacturing cost of the battery monomer 20. By symmetrically arranging the second pole piece 2212 located on both sides of the second intermediate pole piece 22121 about the second intermediate pole piece 22121, the radii of the rounded corners 231 of the two symmetrically arranged second pole pieces 2212 are equal. When manufacturing the rounded corners 231, the two symmetrically arranged second pole pieces 2212 can be cut together to form the rounded corners 231, which is beneficial to simplify the manufacturing process and reduce the manufacturing cost of the battery monomer 20.
[0244] Please refer to Figure 11 In some embodiments, the four corners of the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 are provided with chamfer structures 23.
[0245] The chamfer structures 23 of the four corners of the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 can be the same or different, for example, some of the chamfer structures 23 are rounded corners 231, and some of the chamfer structures 23 are bevels. Please refer to Figure 11 In the embodiments shown in the drawings, the chamfer structures 23 of the four corners of the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 are the same.
[0246] By providing the four corners of the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 with chamfer structures 23, it is beneficial to reduce the risk of the four corners of the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process, and to improve the yield of the battery monomer 20. In addition, by providing the four corners of the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 with chamfer structures 23, it is beneficial to reduce the risk of scratching between the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 and the shell 21, and to reduce the risk of damage to the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 and the shell 21, thereby improving the reliability of the battery monomer 20.
[0247] Please refer to Figure 11 In some embodiments, the chamfer structure 23 is a rounded corner 231, the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 is connected to the first pole piece 2211, and the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 is equal to the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the first pole piece 2211 corresponding thereto.
[0248] The first pole piece 2211 includes a first current collector and a first active material layer 2214, and the first active material layer 2214 is arranged on at least one side of the first current collector in the first direction. The solid-state electrolyte layer 223 can be arranged on the side of the first active material layer 2214 away from the first current collector.
[0249] In some embodiments, the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 is coated on the side of the first active material layer 2214 facing away from the first current collector.
[0250] The radius of the rounded corner 231 of the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 is equal to the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the first pole piece 2211 corresponding thereto. During manufacturing, since the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 is connected to the first pole piece 2211, the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 and the first pole piece 2211 can be chamfered together.
[0251] By connecting the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 to the first pole piece 2211, it is more simple and convenient to stack the first pole piece 2211, the solid-state electrolyte layer 223, and the second pole piece 2212 in the first direction. Moreover, connecting the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 to the first pole piece 2211 enables the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 to stably separate the first pole piece 2211 and the second pole piece 2212 and facilitate ion transmission, which is conducive to reducing the internal resistance of the battery monomer 20. By making the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 equal to the radius of the rounded corner 231 of the first pole piece 2211 corresponding thereto, the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 covers the first pole piece 2211 as much as possible, reducing the risk of short circuit caused by the contact between the first pole piece 2211 and the second pole piece 2212, and facilitating the improvement of the reliability of the battery monomer 20.
[0252] Please refer to Figure 12 , Figure 12 A side view schematic diagram of the electrode assembly 22 provided for another embodiment of the present application is shown. In some embodiments, the pole piece 221 includes a current collector 2213, a first active material layer 2214, and a second active material layer 2215, the polarities of the first active material layer 2214 and the second active material layer 2215 are opposite, and the first active material layer 2214 and the second active material layer 2215 are respectively arranged on both sides of the current collector 2213. In the first direction, the four corners of at least one of the current collector 2213, the first active material layer 2214, and the second active material layer 2215 of the two pole pieces 221 farthest apart are each provided with a chamfer structure 23.
[0253] The pole piece 221 is a bipolar pole piece, and the first active material layer 2214 and the second active material layer 2215 are respectively arranged on both sides of the current collector 2213, one of the first active material layer 2214 and the second active material layer 2215 is a positive active material layer, and the other of the first active material layer 2214 and the second active material layer 2215 is a negative active material layer.
[0254] The four corners of at least one of the current collectors 2213, the first active material layers 2214, and the second active material layers 2215 of the two most distant pole pieces 221 can be provided with chamfer structures 23. The four corners of the current collectors 2213 of the two most distant pole pieces 221 can be provided with chamfer structures 23. The four corners of the first active material layers 2214 of the two most distant pole pieces 221 can be provided with chamfer structures 23. The four corners of the second active material layers 2215 of the two most distant pole pieces 221 can be provided with chamfer structures 23. The four corners of the first active material layers 2214 and the current collectors 2213 of the two most distant pole pieces 221 can be provided with chamfer structures 23. The four corners of the second active material layers 2215 and the current collectors 2213 of the two most distant pole pieces 221 can be provided with chamfer structures 23. The four corners of the current collectors 2213, the first active material layers 2214, and the second active material layers 2215 of the two most distant pole pieces 221 can be provided with chamfer structures 23.
[0255] By including the current collectors 2213, the first active material layers 2214, and the second active material layers 2215 in the pole pieces 221, and by having opposite polarities of the first active material layers 2214 and the second active material layers 2215, the battery monomer 20 has a higher energy density. By providing the four corners of at least one of the current collectors 2213, the first active material layers 2214, and the second active material layers 2215 of the two most distant pole pieces 221 with chamfer structures 23, the risk of piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process is reduced, and the yield of the battery monomer 20 is improved. In addition, by providing the four corners of at least one of the current collectors 2213, the first active material layers 2214, and the second active material layers 2215 of the two most distant pole pieces 221 with chamfer structures 23, the risk of scratching the pole pieces 221 against the shell 21 is reduced, the risk of damage to the pole pieces 221 is reduced, and the reliability of the battery monomer 20 is improved.
[0256] Please refer to Figure 12 In some embodiments, the chamfer structures 23 are round corners 231, and each of the four corners of each pole piece 221 is provided with a round corner 231.
[0257] When the chamfer structure 23 is a round corner 231, the transition is smoother, and new sharp corners are less likely to occur. By providing each of the four corners of each pole piece 221 with a round corner 231, the risk of the four corners of the plurality of pole pieces 221 puncturing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process is reduced, and the yield of the battery monomer 20 is improved. Furthermore, by providing each of the four corners of each pole piece 221 with a round corner 231, the risk of the four corners of the plurality of pole pieces 221 scratching the shell 21 is reduced, the risk of damage to the plurality of pole pieces 221 and the shell 21 is reduced, and the reliability of the battery monomer 20 is improved.
[0258] Please refer to Figure 12 In some embodiments, the number of pole pieces 221 is odd, and the radius of the round corner 231 of the middle pole piece 221 gradually increases to the radius of the round corner 231 of the pole piece 221 at both ends.
[0259] Along the first direction, the radius of the round corner 231 of the middle pole piece 221 is the smallest, and the radius of the round corner 231 of the pole piece 221 at both ends is the largest. The radius of the round corner 231 of the pole piece 221 gradually increases from the middle to the both ends. In other words, the radius of the round corner 231 of the pole piece 221 close to the middle is smaller than the radius of the round corner 231 of the pole piece 221 away from the middle.
[0260] When the number of pole pieces 221 is odd, by gradually increasing the radius of the round corner 231 of the middle pole piece 221 to the radius of the round corner 231 of the pole piece 221 at both ends, the adjacent two corners of the electrode assembly 22 along the first direction form a spherical transition, thereby further reducing the risk of the plurality of pole pieces 221 puncturing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process, and improving the yield of the battery monomer 20.
[0261] Please refer to Figure 13 , Figure 13 A side view schematic diagram of the electrode assembly 22 provided by some embodiments of the present application is provided. In some embodiments, the number of pole pieces 221 is even. Along the first direction, the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 at the middle position is the middle layer 2231, and the middle layer 2231 is provided with a plurality of pole pieces 221 on both sides. Among the plurality of pole pieces 221 on the same side of the middle layer 2231, the radius of the round corner 231 of the pole piece 221 closest to the middle layer 2231 gradually increases to the radius of the round corner 231 of the pole piece 221 farthest from the middle layer 2231.
[0262] When the number of pole pieces 221 is even, the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 at the middle position along the first direction is the middle layer 2231. Along the first direction, the middle layer 2231 is provided with a plurality of pole pieces 221 on both sides.
[0263] In the plurality of pole pieces 221 on the same side of the intermediate layer 2231, the farther the pole piece 221 is from the intermediate layer 2231, the greater the radius of the fillet 231 of the pole piece 221. In the first direction, the radius of the fillet 231 of the pole piece 221 closest to the intermediate layer 2231 is the smallest, and the radius of the fillet 231 of the pole piece 221 farthest from the intermediate layer 2231 is the largest.
[0264] When the number of pole pieces 221 is even, in the plurality of pole pieces 221 on the same side of the intermediate layer 2231, the radius of the fillet 231 of the pole piece 221 closest to the intermediate layer 2231 gradually increases to the radius of the fillet 231 of the pole piece 221 farthest from the intermediate layer 2231, so that the two adjacent corners of the electrode assembly 22 in the first direction form a spherical transition, thereby further reducing the risk of the plurality of pole pieces 221 piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process, and improving the yield of the battery monomer 20.
[0265] In some embodiments, the chamfer structure 23 is a fillet 231.
[0266] When the chamfer structure 23 is a fillet 231, the transition is smoother and new sharp corners are less likely to occur, which is more conducive to reducing the risk of the four corners of the two pole pieces 221 farthest apart piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process, and improving the yield of the battery monomer 20.
[0267] Please refer again to Figure 4 In some embodiments, the radius of the fillet 231 is R, which satisfies: 1mm≤R≤10mm.
[0268] R represents the radius of the fillet 231. The radius of the fillet 231 can be: R=1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 7mm, 8mm, 9mm, 10mm, etc.
[0269] When R≥1mm, the radius of the fillet 231 is large, the transition is smooth, the transition effect is good, which is conducive to reducing the risk of the first pole piece 2211 piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process, and improving the yield of the battery monomer 20. When R≤10mm, the radius of the fillet 231 is not too large, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the electrode assembly 22 and improving the energy density of the battery monomer 20. Therefore, when 1mm≤R≤10mm, the yield and energy density of the battery monomer 20 can be considered.
[0270] Optionally, 1mm≤R≤5mm.
[0271] The radius of the fillet 231 can be: R=1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, 4.5mm, 5mm, etc.
[0272] When R≥1mm, the radius of the rounded corner 231 is large, the transition is smooth, the transition effect is good, which is conducive to reducing the risk of the first electrode tab 2211 piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process, and is conducive to improving the yield of the battery monomer 20. When R≤5mm, the radius of the rounded corner 231 is not too large, which is more conducive to reducing the volume of the electrode assembly 22, and is more conducive to improving the energy density of the battery monomer 20. Therefore, when 1mm≤R≤5mm, the yield and energy density of the battery monomer 20 can be considered at the same time.
[0273] In some embodiments, the shell 21 is a soft shell.
[0274] The shell 21 is a soft shell, that is, the material for manufacturing the shell 21 is relatively soft. For example, the shell 21 can be an aluminum plastic film, and the shell 21 can also be a heat-shrinkable film.
[0275] When the shell 21 is a soft shell, by providing the chamfer structure 23 on the four corners of the first electrode tab 2211 and / or the second electrode tab 2212, it is conducive to reducing the risk of the first electrode tab 2211 and / or the second electrode tab 2212 piercing the shell 21, and is conducive to improving the reliability of the battery monomer 20.
[0276] In some embodiments, the soft shell is an aluminum plastic film.
[0277] Using an aluminum plastic film to manufacture the shell 21 is simple and convenient, and has low cost.
[0278] Please refer to Figures 4 to 13 The present application also provides an electrode assembly 22, which comprises a solid electrolyte layer 223 and a plurality of electrode tabs 221. In the first direction, the solid electrolyte layer 223 is arranged between two adjacent electrode tabs 221. The electrode tab 221 comprises an active material layer. In the two adjacent electrode tabs 221, the polarity of the active material layer facing the solid electrolyte layer 223 between the two adjacent electrode tabs 221 is opposite. In the first direction, the four corners of the two electrode tabs 221 farthest apart are provided with chamfer structures 23.
[0279] In some embodiments, the plurality of pole pieces 221 includes a first pole piece 2211 and a second pole piece 2212, the first pole piece 2211 and the second pole piece 2212 are opposite in polarity. In the first direction, the first pole piece 2211, the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 and the second pole piece 2212 are stacked, and the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 is arranged between the first pole piece 2211 and the second pole piece 2212. Among them, the first pole piece 2211 is multiple, and the two first pole pieces 2211 farthest apart in the first direction are the pole pieces 221 located at the two ends of the electrode assembly 22, and the four corners of the two first pole pieces 2211 farthest apart are provided with chamfer structures 23. The electrode assembly 22 includes the first pole piece 2211, the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 and the second pole piece 2212 stacked, so that the electrode assembly 22 is simple and convenient to manufacture, and the cost is low. By providing the four corners of the two first pole pieces 2211 farthest apart with chamfer structures 23, it is beneficial to reduce the risk of the four corners of the two first pole pieces 2211 farthest apart piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process, and it is beneficial to improve the yield of the battery monomer 20. In addition, by providing the four corners of the two first pole pieces 2211 farthest apart with chamfer structures 23, it is also beneficial to reduce the risk of the first pole piece 2211 scratching the shell 21, beneficial to reduce the risk of damage to the first pole piece 2211 and the shell 21, and beneficial to improve the reliability of the battery monomer 20.
[0280] In some embodiments, the chamfer structure 23 is a round corner 231. The first pole piece 2211 and the second pole piece 2212 are multiple, each first pole piece 2211 has four corners provided with a round corner 231, and each second pole piece 2212 has four corners provided with a round corner 231. When the chamfer structure 23 is a round corner 231, the transition is smoother and new sharp corners are less likely to occur. By providing each first pole piece 2211 with a round corner 231 at its four corners, it is more beneficial to reduce the risk of the four corners of the plurality of first pole pieces 2211 piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process, and it is beneficial to improve the yield of the battery monomer 20. And, by providing each first pole piece 2211 with a round corner 231 at its four corners, it is also more beneficial to reduce the risk of the four corners of the plurality of first pole pieces 2211 scratching the shell 21, more beneficial to reduce the risk of damage to the plurality of first pole pieces 2211 and the shell 21, and beneficial to improve the reliability of the battery monomer 20. Similarly, by providing each second pole piece 2212 with a round corner 231 at its four corners, it is more beneficial to reduce the risk of the four corners of the plurality of second pole pieces 2212 piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process, and it is beneficial to improve the yield of the battery monomer 20. And, by providing each second pole piece 2212 with a round corner 231 at its four corners, it is also more beneficial to reduce the risk of the four corners of the plurality of second pole pieces 2212 scratching the shell 21, more beneficial to reduce the risk of damage to the plurality of second pole pieces 2212 and the shell 21, and beneficial to improve the reliability of the battery monomer 20.
[0281] In some embodiments, the first tab 2211 is a negative electrode tab, the second tab 2212 is a positive electrode tab, the length of the first tab 2211 is greater than the length of the second tab 2212, and the width of the first tab 2211 is greater than the width of the second tab 2212. The thickness direction of the first tab 2211 is parallel to the first direction. When the first tab 2211 is a negative electrode tab and the second tab 2212 is a positive electrode tab, by making the length of the first tab 2211 greater than the length of the second tab 2212 and the width of the first tab 2211 greater than the width of the second tab 2212, it is beneficial to reduce the assembly difficulty and achieve overhang design, and it is beneficial to reduce the risk of metal ion precipitation.
[0282] In some embodiments, the number of the first tabs 2211 is odd, the number of the second tabs 2212 is even, and the radius of the fillet 231 of the middle first tab 2211 gradually increases to the radius of the fillet 231 of the first tab 2211 at both ends. In order to achieve overhang design, the first tab 2211 will exceed the second tab 2212 in the length direction and the width direction, so that the first tab 2211 is more likely to pierce the packaging bag relative to the second tab 2212 during isostatic pressing. When the number of the first tabs 2211 is odd and the number of the second tabs 2212 is even, by making the radius of the fillet 231 of the middle first tab 2211 gradually increase to the radius of the fillet 231 of the first tab 2211 at both ends, the adjacent two corners of the electrode assembly 22 along the first direction form a spherical transition, thereby further reducing the risk of multiple first tabs 2211 piercing the packaging bag during isostatic pressing, and it is beneficial to improve the yield of the battery monomer 20.
[0283] In some embodiments, the number of the first pole pieces 2211 is odd, and the number of the second pole pieces 2212 is even. In this case, the second pole piece 2212 located at the middle position in the first direction is a second middle pole piece 22121, and a plurality of first pole pieces 2211 are arranged on both sides of the second middle pole piece 22121. In the plurality of first pole pieces 2211 located on the same side of the second middle pole piece 22121, the radius of the fillet 231 of the first pole piece 2211 closest to the second middle pole piece 22121 gradually increases to the radius of the fillet 231 of the first pole piece 2211 farthest from the second middle pole piece 22121. In order to realize the overhang design, the first pole piece 2211 will protrude out of the second pole piece 2212 in the length direction and the width direction of the first pole piece 2211, so the first pole piece 2211 is more likely to scratch the shell 21 than the second pole piece 2212. When the number of the first pole pieces 2211 is odd and the number of the second pole pieces 2212 is even, the radius of the fillet 231 of the first pole piece 2211 closest to the second middle pole piece 22121 gradually increases to the radius of the fillet 231 of the first pole piece 2211 farthest from the second middle pole piece 22121 in the plurality of first pole pieces 2211 located on the same side of the second middle pole piece 22121, so that the two adjacent corners of the electrode assembly 22 in the first direction form a spherical transition, thereby further reducing the risk of the plurality of first pole pieces 2211 piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process, and improving the yield of the battery monomer 20.
[0284] In some embodiments, the pole piece 221 comprises a current collector 2213, a first active material layer 2214 and a second active material layer 2215, the first active material layer 2214 and the second active material layer 2215 are opposite in polarity, and the first active material layer 2214 and the second active material layer 2215 are arranged on both sides of the current collector 2213.

By making the pole piece 221 comprise the current collector 2213, the first active material layer 2214 and the second active material layer 2215, and the first active material layer 2214 and the second active material layer 2215 are opposite in polarity, it is beneficial to make the battery monomer 20 have higher energy density. By making the four corners of at least one of the current collector 2213, the first active material layer 2214 and the second active material layer 2215 of the two pole pieces 221 farthest apart be provided with a chamfer structure 23, it is beneficial to reduce the risk of piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process, and to improve the yield of the battery monomer 20. In addition, by making the four corners of at least one of the current collector 2213, the first active material layer 2214 and the second active material layer 2215 of the two pole pieces 221 farthest apart be provided with a chamfer structure 23, it is also beneficial to reduce the risk of scratching the pole piece 221 and the shell 21, reduce the risk of damage to the pole piece 221 and the shell 21, and improve the reliability of the battery monomer 20.
[0285] In some embodiments, the chamfer structure 23 is a round corner 231, and each of the four corners of each pole piece 221 is provided with a round corner 231. When the chamfer structure 23 is a round corner 231, the transition is smoother and new sharp corners are less likely to occur. By making each of the four corners of each pole piece 221 provided with a round corner 231, it is more beneficial to reduce the risk of the four corners of the plurality of pole pieces 221 piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process, and to improve the yield of the battery monomer 20. Furthermore, by making each of the four corners of each pole piece 221 provided with a round corner 231, it is also more beneficial to reduce the risk of the four corners of the plurality of pole pieces 221 scratching the shell 21, more beneficial to reduce the risk of damage to the plurality of pole pieces 221 and the shell 21, and beneficial to improve the reliability of the battery monomer 20.
[0286] In some embodiments, the number of pole pieces 221 is odd, and the radius of the round corner 231 of the middle pole piece 221 gradually increases to the radius of the round corner 231 of the pole piece 221 at both ends. When the number of pole pieces 221 is odd, by making the radius of the round corner 231 of the middle pole piece 221 gradually increase to the radius of the round corner 231 of the pole piece 221 at both ends, the adjacent two corners of the electrode assembly 22 in the first direction form a spherical transition, thereby further reducing the risk of the plurality of pole pieces 221 piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process, and improving the yield of the battery monomer 20.
[0287] In some embodiments, the number of the plurality of pole pieces 221 is even. Along the first direction, the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 located in the middle position is the middle layer 2231, and a plurality of pole pieces 221 are arranged on both sides of the middle layer 2231. Among the plurality of pole pieces 221 located on the same side of the middle layer 2231, the radius of the fillet 231 of the pole piece 221 closest to the middle layer 2231 gradually increases to the radius of the fillet 231 of the pole piece 221 farthest from the middle layer 2231. When the number of the plurality of pole pieces 221 is even, among the plurality of pole pieces 221 located on the same side of the middle layer 2231, the radius of the fillet 231 of the pole piece 221 closest to the middle layer 2231 gradually increases to the radius of the fillet 231 of the pole piece 221 farthest from the middle layer 2231, so that the adjacent two corners of the electrode assembly 22 along the first direction form a spherical transition, thereby further reducing the risk of the plurality of pole pieces 221 piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process, and facilitating the improvement of the yield of the battery monomer 20.

[0295] In step S400, when the plurality of pole pieces 221 and the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 are stacked along the first direction, in addition to the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 being arranged between two adjacent pole pieces 221 along the first direction, the two pole pieces 221 farthest apart are the pole pieces 221 at the two ends of the electrode assembly blank, and the four corners of the two pole pieces 221 farthest apart are each provided with a chamfer structure 23.
[0296] In step S500, the packaging bag has an open end of the accommodating cavity, and the electrode assembly blank can be loaded into the packaging bag from the open end of the packaging bag. The packaging bag can be an aluminum plastic film, a heat-shrinkable film, etc.
[0297] The isostatic pressing working principle is Pascal's law: "The pressure of a medium (liquid or gas) in a closed container can be transmitted equally in all directions". Through isostatic pressing, the densification of the electrode assembly 22 is facilitated, and the reliability and energy density of the battery cell 20 are improved.
[0298] In step S600, the packaging bag containing the electrode assembly blank can be placed in the hydraulic oil, and the hydraulic oil can be pressurized to achieve isostatic pressing.
[0299] Please refer to Figure 15 , Figure 15 A schematic block diagram of an electrode assembly manufacturing method 30 provided for other embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, the plurality of pole pieces 221 includes a first pole piece 2211 and a second pole piece 2212, and the polarities of the first pole piece 2211 and the second pole piece 2212 are opposite. The plurality of pole pieces 221 is provided by:
[0300] The first pole piece 2211 is provided.
[0301] Step S200: providing a second pole piece 2212.
[0302] The first pole piece 2211 is provided by:
[0303] Step S110: providing a plurality of first pole piece blanks;
[0304] Step S120: chamfering the four corners of at least two first pole piece blanks to form a chamfer structure 23.
[0305] In the electrode assembly blank, along the first direction, the first pole piece 2211, the solid-state electrolyte layer 223, and the second pole piece 2212 are stacked, and the solid-state electrolyte layer 223 is arranged between the first pole piece 2211 and the second pole piece 2212. Along the first direction, the two first pole pieces 2211 farthest apart are the pole pieces 221 at the two ends of the electrode assembly 22, and the four corners of the two first pole pieces 2211 farthest apart are each provided with a chamfer structure 23.
[0306] The first tab blank is a tab structure after the first current collector is coated with the first active material layer 2214 and the slitting and die cutting are completed. For the first tab 2211 with the chamfer structure 23 at the four corners, the four corners of the first tab blank are chamfered to obtain the first tab 2211. For the first tab 2211 without the chamfer structure 23 at the four corners, the first tab blank is the first tab 2211.
[0307] By chamfering the four corners of the first tab blank, the four corners of the first tab 2211 are provided with the chamfer structure 23.
[0308] Please refer to Figure 16 , Figure 16 A schematic block diagram of the electrode assembly manufacturing method 30 provided for some embodiments of the present application. In some embodiments, chamfering the four corners of the at least two first tab blanks comprises:
[0309] Step S121: chamfering the four corners of each first tab blank;
[0310] In the electrode assembly blank, the four corners of each first tab 2211 are provided with the fillet 231.
[0311] By chamfering the four corners of each first tab blank, the four corners of each first tab 2211 are provided with the fillet 231. When the chamfer structure 23 is the fillet 231, the transition is smoother, and new sharp corners are less likely to occur, which is more conducive to reducing the risk of the four corners of the first tab 2211 piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process, and is conducive to improving the yield of the battery monomer 20.
[0312] In some embodiments, in the step of chamfering the four corners of each first tab blank, the radii of the fillets 231 of the plurality of first tab blanks are different. In the electrode assembly blank, when the number of first tabs 2211 is odd and the number of second tabs 2212 is even, the radius of the fillet 231 of the first tab 2211 in the middle gradually increases to the radius of the fillet 231 of the first tab 2211 at both ends. When the number of first tabs 2211 is even and the number of second tabs 2212 is odd, along the first direction, the second tab 2212 located in the middle position is a second middle tab 22121, and a plurality of first tabs 2211 are arranged on both sides of the second middle tab 22121. Among the plurality of first tabs 2211 on the same side of the second middle tab 22121, the radius of the fillet 231 of the first tab 2211 closest to the second middle tab 22121 gradually increases to the radius of the fillet 231 of the first tab 2211 farthest from the second middle tab 22121.
[0313] To realize the overhang design, the first tab 2211 protrudes out of the second tab 2212 in both the length direction and the width direction, so that the first tab 2211 is more likely to pierce the pouch during the isostatic pressing process. When the number of the first tabs 2211 is odd and the number of the second tabs 2212 is even, the radius of the fillet 231 of the middle first tab 2211 gradually increases to the radius of the fillet 231 of the first tab 2211 at both ends, so that the adjacent two corners of the electrode assembly 22 in the first direction form a spherical transition, thereby further reducing the risk of the multiple first tabs 2211 piercing the pouch during the isostatic pressing process, and improving the yield of the battery cell 20. When the number of the first tabs 2211 is even and the number of the second tabs 2212 is odd, the radius of the fillet 231 of the first tab 2211 closest to the second middle tab 22121 gradually increases to the radius of the fillet 231 of the first tab 2211 farthest from the second middle tab 22121 among the multiple first tabs 2211 on the same side of the second middle tab 22121, so that the adjacent two corners of the electrode assembly 22 in the first direction form a spherical transition, thereby further reducing the risk of the multiple first tabs 2211 piercing the pouch during the isostatic pressing process, and improving the yield of the battery cell 20.

[0317] In the electrode assembly blank, the four corners of the two second tabs 2212 farthest apart are provided with the chamfer structure 23 in the first direction.
[0318] The second tab 2212 comprises a second current collector and a second active material layer 2215, and the second active material layer 2215 is arranged on at least one side of the second current collector in the first direction.
[0319] The second tab blank is a tab structure after the second active material layer 2215 is coated on the second current collector, and the slitting and die cutting are completed. For the second tab 2212 with the chamfer structure 23 at the four corners, the four corners of the second tab blank are chamfered to obtain the second tab 2212. For the second tab 2212 without the chamfer structure 23 at the four corners, the second tab blank is the second tab 2212.
[0320] By chamfering the four corners of the second tab blank, the four corners of the second tab 2212 are provided with the chamfer structure 23. In the first direction, the two second tabs 2212 farthest apart are closer to the two ends of the electrode assembly 22, and in the isostatic pressing process, the four corners of the two second tabs 2212 farthest apart are relatively easy to pierce the packaging bag. In the embodiment of the present application, by providing the four corners of the two second tabs 2212 farthest apart with the chamfer structure 23, the risk of the four corners of the two second tabs 2212 farthest apart piercing the packaging bag is reduced, and the yield of the battery monomer 20 is improved. In addition, by providing the four corners of the two second tabs 2212 farthest apart with the chamfer structure 23, the risk of the four corners of the two second tabs 2212 farthest apart scratching the shell 21 is reduced, the risk of damage to the second tab 2212 and the shell 21 is reduced, and the reliability of the battery monomer 20 is improved.

Wherein the first pole piece 2211 is multiple, along the first direction, the two first pole pieces 2211 farthest apart are pole pieces 221 located at both ends of the electrode assembly 22, and the four corners of the two first pole pieces 2211 farthest apart are each provided with a chamfer structure 23. The first pole piece 2211, the solid electrolyte layer 223 and the second pole piece 2212 are stacked along the first direction, that is, the electrode assembly 22 is a laminated electrode assembly. For the laminated electrode assembly, during the isostatic pressing process, along the first direction, the pole pieces 221 located at both ends of the electrode assembly 22 are most likely to pierce the packaging bag, in the embodiment of the application, the two first pole pieces 2211 farthest apart are pole pieces 221 located at both ends of the electrode assembly 22, by making the four corners of the two first pole pieces 2211 farthest apart be provided with the chamfer structure 23, the risk of the four corners of the two first pole pieces 2211 farthest apart piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process is reduced, and the yield of the battery monomer 20 is improved. In addition, by making the four corners of the two first pole pieces 2211 farthest apart be provided with the chamfer structure 23, the risk of the first pole piece 2211 scratching the shell 21 is reduced, the risk of the first pole piece 2211 damaging the shell 21 is reduced, and the reliability of the battery monomer 20 is improved.

By providing each of the four corners of the first pole piece 2211 with a round corner 231, it is more conducive to reducing the risk of the four corners of the multiple first pole pieces 2211 piercing the packaging bag during the isostatic pressing process, and is conducive to improving the yield of the battery monomer 20.
