In this specification, the illustrative expressions of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Furthermore, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.

[0049] With the development of new energy technologies, further improving battery energy density has become a key focus for more and more battery manufacturers. The core component of a battery is the cell, which can be divided into wound cells and laminated cells based on different manufacturing processes and cell structures.

[0050] The outermost electrode of a laminated cell is often covered with adhesive wrapping and hot melt adhesive. However, the adhesive layer at the adhesive application point protrudes from the outermost electrode surface, thus occupying space along the thickness direction of the cell and affecting the energy density of the battery.

[0051] It should be noted that the middle part of the adhesive wrapping is located on the periphery of the battery cell and extends along the thickness direction. The two ends of the adhesive wrapping are connected to the uppermost and lowermost electrode plates, respectively, thereby fixing the entire battery cell and preventing the stacked electrode plates from becoming loose or shifting during assembly or use. Hot melt adhesive is applied to the outermost electrode plate for connecting and fixing the outermost electrode plate to the housing. The outermost electrode plate is then connected to the remaining intermediate electrode plates through adhesive wrapping (or other connection methods) to form a whole, thus fixing the entire battery cell within the housing.

[0052] Therefore, in order to further improve the energy density of the battery cells in the prior art, this application makes further improvements to the battery cell structure, as follows:

[0053] The battery cell of this application includes an electrode assembly 100, a third electrode 200, and a fixing member 300. For example... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the electrode assembly 100 includes a first electrode 110 and a second electrode 120. The first electrode 110 and the second electrode 120 are stacked along the thickness direction of the battery cell. The first electrode 110 and the second electrode 120 have opposite polarities. For example, the first electrode 110 can be a positive electrode, and the second electrode 120 can be a negative electrode; if the first electrode 110 is a negative electrode, then the second electrode 120 is a positive electrode. It can be understood that both the first electrode 110 and the second electrode 120 are double-sided coated sheets.

[0054] Along the thickness direction of the battery cell, the third electrode 200 is disposed on one side of the electrode assembly 100, and the polarity of the third electrode 200 is opposite to that of the adjacent first electrode 110 or adjacent second electrode 120. That is, if the outermost part of the electrode assembly 100 is a positive electrode, then the third electrode 200 is a negative electrode, and vice versa. The third electrode 200 is a single-sided coated sheet, with the coated side facing the electrode assembly 100 and the uncoated side facing the housing 500. Figure 1 As shown, the third electrode 200 has an outer surface away from the electrode assembly 100, and a first groove 210 is provided on this outer surface. The fixing member 300 includes a first fixing member 310, which is disposed in the first groove 210 on the outer surface of the third electrode 200. The first fixing member 310 can be made of adhesive wrapping or hot melt adhesive. Due to the design of the first groove 210, the first fixing member 310 is embedded therein, reducing the protrusion height of the first fixing member 310, thereby effectively reducing the overall thickness of the cell and improving the energy density.

[0055] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the first fixing member 310 includes a first sub-fixing member 311 and a second sub-fixing member 312. The first sub-fixing member 311 is the end of the adhesive wrapping, and the second sub-fixing member 312 is hot melt adhesive. The fixing member 300 also includes a second fixing member 320 located on the side of the electrode assembly 100. The second fixing member 320 is the middle part of the adhesive wrapping. Thus, the end of the second fixing member 320 is integrally connected with the first sub-fixing member 311. The second sub-fixing member 312 has a gap with the edge of the third electrode 200 to reduce the risk of hot melt adhesive overflow during the bonding and pressing process.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, corresponding to the first sub-fixing member 311, the first groove 210 includes the first sub-groove 211, and the first sub-fixing member 311 is disposed in the first groove 210. The first sub-groove 211 is typically disposed at the edge of the third electrode 200, and an opening is formed on the outer periphery of the third electrode 200 to facilitate the connection between the second fixing member 320 and the first sub-fixing member 311. Corresponding to the second sub-fixing member 312, the first groove 210 includes the second sub-groove 212, and the second sub-groove 212 is located in the middle of the third electrode 200, maintaining a certain distance from the edge of the third electrode 200 to form a circumferentially closed groove structure.

[0057] In some embodiments, the first sub-groove 211 includes at least a first-level groove and a second-level groove (not shown in the figure, see reference). Figure 5 The third-level groove 2101 and the fourth-level groove 2102 shown are connected to the first-level groove, and the second-level groove is located on the side of the first-level groove away from the outer surface of the third electrode 200, that is, as shown in the figure. Figure 5 As shown, the second-level groove is located below the first-level groove. Similarly, the second sub-groove 212 may also include a third-level groove 2101 and a fourth-level groove 2102, with the third-level groove 2101 communicating with the fourth-level groove 2102, and the fourth-level groove 2102 located on the side of the third-level groove 2101 away from the outer surface of the third electrode 200.

[0058] Thus, the first and second level grooves form a stepped structure, increasing the bonding area and improving structural stability. Simultaneously, the stepped design effectively disperses stress, further enhancing the foil's tear resistance and optimizing its overall mechanical properties. The first and second level grooves can have the same or different shapes; for example, the first level groove can be square, while the second level groove can be either square or circular.

[0059] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2As shown, the battery cell also includes a fourth electrode 400, which is disposed on the opposite side of the electrode assembly 100 along the thickness direction. The fourth electrode 400 has an outer surface away from the electrode assembly 100. The fixing member 300 also includes a third fixing member 330 for connecting to the outer surface of the fourth electrode 400. The third fixing member 330 is integrally connected with the second fixing member 320. That is, the first fixing member 311 and the third fixing member 330 are respectively located at both ends of the second fixing member 320 and are bent relative to the second fixing member 320, thereby attaching to the outer surfaces of the third electrode 200 and the fourth electrode 400, respectively. It can be understood that the fourth electrode 400 has the opposite polarity to the adjacent first electrode 110 or the adjacent second electrode 120. That is, if the adjacent electrode is a positive electrode, then the fourth electrode 400 is a negative electrode, and vice versa.

[0060] Furthermore, the outer surface of the fourth electrode 400 is provided with a second groove 410 for accommodating the third fixing member 330. The design of the second groove 410 allows the third fixing member 330 to be embedded therein, reducing the protrusion height of the adhesive wrapping on the outer surface of the fourth electrode 400, further reducing the cell thickness and improving the overall structural compactness. It can be understood that the second groove 410 is located at the edge of the outer surface of the fourth electrode 400 and forms an opening on the outer periphery of the fourth electrode 400.

[0061] The second groove 410 is provided corresponding to the first sub-groove 211. That is, along the thickness direction of the cell, the projection area of ​​the first sub-groove 211 on the fourth electrode 400 at least partially overlaps with the second groove 410. It can be understood that the shape and size of the first sub-groove 211 can be consistent with the shape and size of the second groove 410, or they can be inconsistent, depending on whether they can accommodate the end of the rubber wrapping.

[0062] Based on the foregoing, such as Figure 4 As shown, the third electrode 200 has a single-sided structure. Specifically, the third electrode 200 includes a first current collector 220 and a first active material layer 230. The first active material layer 230 is disposed on the first surface 221 of the first current collector 220 near the electrode assembly 100, that is, the inner surface of the first current collector 220. The first current collector 220 also includes a second surface 222 opposite to the first surface 221. The second surface 222 is located on the side away from the electrode assembly 100, that is, the outer surface of the aforementioned third electrode 200.

[0063] It is understandable that the fourth electrode 400 is also a single-sided structure (not shown in the figure, please refer to...). Figure 4The third electrode 200 has a structure, and the fourth electrode 400 includes a second current collector and a second active material layer. The second active material layer is disposed on the third surface of the second current collector near the electrode assembly 100, which is also the inner surface of the fourth electrode 400. The fourth surface of the second current collector away from the electrode assembly 100 forms the outer surface of the fourth electrode 400.

[0064] Furthermore, the first groove 210 has an opening formed on the second surface 222, and the first groove 210 also has a bottom wall opposite to the opening. It should be noted that the first groove 210 can be processed by laser micromachining, chemical etching, mechanical micromachining, focused ion beam, and other processing techniques. It is understood that current collectors are often formed by metal roll forming, resulting in good metal flatness. The bottom wall of the first groove 210, cleaned by laser, often has poor uniformity, resulting in a rougher bottom wall than other uncleaned areas on the second surface 222. Therefore, compared to the first fixing member 310 being directly attached to the second surface 222, the rougher bottom wall of the first groove 210 is more conducive to adhesive bonding. The uneven bottom wall increases the contact area with the adhesive, thereby strengthening the bonding effect. This ensures that both the wrapping adhesive and the hot melt adhesive are firmly bonded, effectively preventing adhesive layer detachment and improving the overall stability and safety of the battery cell.

[0065] It is understandable that the bottom wall roughness of the second groove 410 of the fourth electrode 400 is also greater than the roughness of the outer surface of the fourth electrode 400.

[0066] Furthermore, the first groove 210 is disposed on the first current collector 220, and the thickness L of the first current collector 220 and the depth H of the first groove 210 have the following relationship: 0.1L≤H1≤0.75L. If the first groove 210 is too deep, it may affect the structural strength of the third electrode 200, making it prone to breakage during battery use. If the first groove 210 is too shallow, it will not significantly improve the energy density of the battery. Even further, the thickness L of the first current collector 220 and the depth H of the first groove 210 are preferably related as follows: 0.25L≤H1≤0.5L. For example, in the embodiments of this application, the aluminum foil size is 20μm, and the depth of the first groove 210 is 5μm to 10μm. Within this range, the groove depth can both ensure structural strength and significantly improve energy density.

[0067] It is understandable that the depth of the second groove 410 and the thickness of the current collector of the fourth electrode 400 can also have the above relationship, which will not be elaborated here.

[0068] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the adhesive layer typically does not cover the entire groove, but leaves a certain gap. This allows the adhesive layer to maintain some elasticity when subjected to compression deformation, preventing excessive compression from affecting the strength of the foil. Furthermore, the area occupied by the adhesive layer in the groove cannot be too small, otherwise the bonding effect will be compromised. Therefore, the area of ​​the adhesive layer and the groove have the following relationship:

[0069] 1. The projected area S1 of the first sub-fixing member 311 on the third pole piece 200 and the projected area S2 of the first sub-groove 211 on the third pole piece 200 must satisfy the following relationship: 0.55≤S1 / S2≤0.95, preferably, 0.64≤S1 / S2≤0.81;

[0070] 2. The projected area S3 of the second sub-fixing member 312 on the third pole piece 200 and the projected area S4 of the second sub-groove 212 on the third pole piece 200 must satisfy the following relationship: 0.55≤S3 / S4≤0.95, preferably, 0.64≤S3 / S4≤0.81;

[0071] 3. The projected area S5 of the third fixing member 330 on the fourth pole piece 400 and the projected area S6 of the second groove 410 on the fourth pole piece 400 must satisfy the following relationship: 0.55≤S5 / S6≤0.95, preferably, 0.64≤S5 / S6≤0.81.

[0072] In some embodiments, the first groove 210 includes a plurality of walls connected sequentially along the circumference, with an arc-shaped transition between adjacent walls. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the first groove 210 is a square groove, with rounded corners at the edges to achieve a smooth transition. This avoids stress concentration, reduces the risk of foil tearing during mechanical testing, and disperses and buffers the forces exerted during mechanical testing. It is understood that the junction of adjacent walls of the second groove 410 can also use an arc-shaped transition, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0073] A second aspect of this application also provides a battery comprising a housing 500 and a cell as mentioned in any of the preceding embodiments, wherein, based on the foregoing, the first fixing member 310 includes a second sub-fixing member 312, and the housing 500 is connected to the third electrode 200 via the second sub-fixing member 312. It is understood that the housing 500 may be an aluminum-plastic film or other housing structure.

[0074] Furthermore, the first fixing member 310 is located in the first groove 210, and the thickness of the first fixing member 310 is greater than the depth of the first groove 210. Therefore, after the first fixing member 310 is assembled into the first groove 210, its top protrudes from the outer surface of the third electrode 200. To further improve the energy density of the battery and reduce its thickness, a fourth groove 510 is provided on the inner wall of the housing 500 corresponding to the position of the first fixing member 310, i.e., the position of the first groove 210. The fourth groove 510 is used to accommodate the first fixing member 310 protruding from the outer surface of the third electrode 200, thereby avoiding direct contact between the first fixing member 310 and the inner wall of the housing 500, reducing internal space waste, ensuring a compact battery structure, and improving overall performance.

[0075] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof can be combined with each other unless otherwise specified.
