[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the composite current collector includes a current collector body 10. The current collector body 10 includes a substrate layer 11 and a metal layer 12 disposed on at least one side of the substrate layer 11, wherein the ratio a of the thickness of the substrate layer 11 to the thickness of the current collector body 10 and the elongation b of the current collector body 10 satisfy the following condition: 1.2 ≤ a × b ≤ 2.4.
[0022] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the current collector body 10 includes a substrate layer 11 and a metal layer 12 disposed on the substrate layer 11. The ratio 'a' of the thickness of the substrate layer 11 to the thickness of the current collector body 10 and the elongation 'b' of the current collector body 10 satisfy the following condition: 1.2 ≤ a × b ≤ 2.4. By setting the above ratio, warping of areas not coated with active material can be avoided, thereby improving the quality of the composite current collector. Therefore, the technical solution of this embodiment effectively solves the problem of warping easily occurring in areas not coated with active material in related technologies.
[0023] Specifically, by precisely controlling the ratio 'a' of the thickness of the substrate layer 11 to the thickness of the current collector body 10 and the elongation 'b' of the current collector body 10, the problem of warping easily occurring in the uncoated area of the composite current collector after the active material layer is coated can be solved. That is, by adjusting this ratio, the deformation recovery characteristics of the composite current collector under stress can be optimized. Even under large elongation deformation, the composite current collector can maintain good shape stability, thereby avoiding tab warping and edge curling / breakage. This significantly improves the processing performance of the composite current collector in battery manufacturing, reduces production defects caused by warping, and improves the overall quality and production yield of the battery.
[0024] It should be noted that if a×b≤1.2, the composite current collector is prone to band breakage during use. If a×b>2.4, it will lead to more severe warping.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the ratio a is between 0.4 and 0.8, and the elongation b is between 1.5% and 5%. By setting specific ranges for the ratio a and the elongation b, the elongation performance of the composite current collector can be controlled more precisely, ensuring its processing stability and reliability during battery manufacturing. That is, specific ranges for the ratio and elongation can balance the elongation and shape stability of the composite current collector, avoiding warping caused by excessive elongation or breakage caused by insufficient elongation.
[0026] Specifically, the ratio 'a' mentioned above can be 0.45, 0.5, 0.55, 0.6, 0.65, 0.7, 0.75, or other values, and the elongation 'b' can be 1.6%, 1.7%, 1.8%, 1.9%, 2%, 2.1%, 2.2%, 2.3%, 2.4%, 2.5%, 2.6%, 2.7%, 2.8%, 2.9%, 3%, 3.1%, 3.2%, 3.3%, 3.4%, 3.5%, 3.6%, 3.7%, 3.8%, 3.9%, 4%, 4.1%, 4.2%, 4.3%, 4.4%, 4.5%, 4.6%, 4.7%, 4.8%, 4.9%, or other values.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the metal layer 12 is made of copper or aluminum. Copper or aluminum has good electrical conductivity and appropriate ductility, which can meet the application requirements of composite current collectors in batteries. Furthermore, the high conductivity of copper and aluminum helps to reduce the internal resistance of the battery and improve the charging and discharging efficiency of the battery.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the substrate layer 11 is made of any one of polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, or polyimide. Polyethylene terephthalate, polypropylene, or polyimide all possess good insulation properties and high mechanical strength, effectively supporting the metal layer 12 while exhibiting good durability in a battery environment.
[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a reinforcing structure 13 is provided on the metal layer 12. The reinforcing structure enhances the mechanical strength and stability of the metal layer.
[0030] It should be noted that the aforementioned reinforcing structure 13 can be at least one of a raised structure, a recessed structure, or a reinforcing rib. Specifically, the reinforcing structure 13 can be dot-shaped, strip-shaped, wavy, serrated, etc.
[0031] Specifically, Figure 2 The reinforcing structure 13 is shown to be a protruding structure. Figure 3 The reinforcing structure 13 is shown to be a recessed structure.
[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the thickness of the substrate layer 11 is between 2 μm and 12 μm. Setting the thickness of the substrate layer 11 within a specific range effectively balances the mechanical and electrical properties of the composite current collector, ensuring its stability and reliability in a battery environment. Specifically, the appropriate selection of the thickness of the substrate layer 11 can affect the elongation and elastic modulus of the composite current collector, thereby affecting its deformation recovery ability during processing and its stability under battery operating conditions.
[0033] Specifically, the thickness of the substrate layer 11 can be 2.5μm, 3μm, 3.5μm, 4μm, 4.5μm, 5μm, 5.5μm, 6μm, 6.5μm, 7μm, 7.5μm, 8μm, 8.5μm, 9μm, 9.5μm, 10μm, 10.5μm, 11μm, 11.5μm or other values.
[0034] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, the thickness of the metal layer 12 is between 1 μm and 3 μm. Setting the thickness of the metal layer 12 within a specific range effectively balances the conductivity and mechanical stability of the composite current collector, ensuring its efficient current transmission and resistance to processing stress in a battery environment. Specifically, the appropriate selection of the thickness of the metal layer 12 directly affects the resistivity and ductility of the composite current collector. Too thin a layer may lead to increased resistance, affecting the battery's charge and discharge efficiency; too thick a layer may reduce ductility, increasing processing difficulty and cost.
[0035] Specifically, the thickness of the aforementioned metal layer 12 can be 1.1μm, 1.2μm, 1.3μm, 1.4μm, 1.5μm, 1.6μm, 1.7μm, 1.8μm, 1.9μm, 2μm, 2.1μm, 2.2μm, 2.3μm, 2.4μm, 2.5μm, 2.6μm, 2.7μm, 2.8μm, 2.9μm, or other values.
[0036] According to another aspect of this application, a battery cell is provided, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the battery cell of this embodiment includes: a composite current collector; an active material layer 20 disposed on the metal layer 12 of the composite current collector, with the composite current collector and the active material layer 20 forming an electrode; and a blank area 30 disposed on the composite current collector and located on the side of the active material layer 20, forming an electrode tab. The thickness of the composite current collector corresponding to the blank area 30 gradually decreases in the direction away from the active material layer 20. The composite current collector is the composite current collector described above. By using the composite current collector in the battery cell, the problem of warping easily occurring in the uncoated area after the composite current collector is coated with the active material layer can be effectively solved. Furthermore, by gradually decreasing the thickness of the composite current collector on the blank area 30 along the side away from the active material layer 20, the rebound of the blank area 30 can be reduced, warping can be avoided, thereby improving the manufacturing yield and efficiency of the battery.
[0037] According to another aspect of this application, a battery cell is provided, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the battery cell of this embodiment includes: a composite current collector; an active material layer 20 disposed on the metal layer 12 of the composite current collector, with the composite current collector and the active material layer 20 forming an electrode; a blank area 30 disposed on the composite current collector and located on the side of the active material layer 20, the blank area 30 forming a tab, and the thickness of the composite current collector corresponding to the blank area 30 gradually decreasing in the direction away from the active material layer 20; wherein, the ratio of the area of the tab to the total area of the reinforcing structure 13 on the tab is c, the ratio c being between 5% and 25%, and the ratio of the total area of the reinforcing structure 13 on the electrode to the area of the composite current collector is d, the ratio d being between 3% and 20%; the composite current collector is the aforementioned composite current collector. By providing reinforcing structures with different coverage rates on the active material layer 20 and the composite current collector corresponding to the blank area 30, the mechanical and electrical performance of the battery cell can be further optimized. Strengthening the control of structural coverage is based on the analysis of stress distribution and electrical contact performance of composite current collectors during battery manufacturing. By setting the enhanced structural coverage of the active material layer and blank area, the stress distribution of composite current collectors can be optimized, the risk of breakage during battery manufacturing can be reduced, and electrical contact performance can be enhanced to improve the electrical performance of the battery.
[0038] Specifically, the ratio c can be 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, 10%, 10.5%, 11%, 11.5%, 12%, 12.5%, 13%, 13.5%, 14%, 14.5%, 15%, 15.5%, 16%, 16.5%, 17%, 17.5%, 18%, 18.5%, 19%, 19.5%, 20%, 20.5%, 21%, 21.5%, 22%, 22.5%, 23%, 23.5%, 24%, 24.5%, 25%, or other ratios.
[0039] The ratio d can be 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, 5.5%, 6%, 6.5%, 7%, 7.5%, 8%, 8.5%, 9%, 9.5%, 10%, 10.5%, 11%, 11.5%, 12%, 12.5%, 13%, 13.5%, 14%, 14.5%, 15%, 15.5%, 16%, 16.5%, 17%, 17.5%, 18%, 18.5%, 19%, 19.5%, or other ratios.
[0040] According to another aspect of this application, a battery is provided, including a battery cell, wherein the battery cell is the aforementioned battery cell. By using the aforementioned battery cell in the battery, the problem that the uncoated area of the composite current collector is prone to warping after the active material layer is coated during the battery manufacturing process can be effectively solved. By using the aforementioned battery cell, the stability and reliability of the battery during the manufacturing process can be ensured, avoiding problems such as tab warping and edge curling / breakage, thereby improving the manufacturing yield and efficiency of the battery.
