[Technical field]

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202210001673.3, filed on January 4, 2022, entitled "Electrode sheet and preparation method thereof, secondary battery, battery module, and battery pack," which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

[0002] The present application relates to the technical field of lithium batteries, and in particular to an electrode sheet and a method for manufacturing the same, a secondary battery, a battery module, and a battery pack. [Background technology]

[0003] Secondary batteries (lithium ion batteries) have characteristics such as large specific energy, high operating voltage, low self-discharge rate, small size and light weight, and are widely used in products such as electric vehicles and electronic devices.

[0004] The present inventors have found that the width of the active material layer in conventional electrode sheets is prone to variation due to diffusion of the active material slurry in the width direction, causing misalignment due to variations in the width of the active material layer on both sides of the electrode sheet, increasing the defect rate of the electrode sheet and affecting the quality of the secondary battery. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present application has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and has an object to improve the uniformity of the width of an active material layer in an electrode sheet, thereby reducing the defect rate of the electrode sheet.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present application provides an electrode sheet, a secondary battery, a battery module, a battery pack, and an electric device.

[0007] A first aspect of the present application provides an electrode sheet including a main body area and an isolation area, the isolation area being provided on both sides of the main body area in the width direction of the electrode sheet, the isolation area being provided with an insulating strip-shaped coating layer, and the main body area being provided with an active material layer. The outer edge of the active material layer is limited to the boundary between the main body area and the isolation area, and the contact angle between the slurry forming the active material layer and the insulating strip-shaped coating layer is greater than 90°, and optionally greater than 125°. In this way, the large contact angle between the slurry of the active material layer and the insulating strip-shaped coating layer reduces creeping and transition between the active material and the insulating strip-shaped coating layer, improves the problem of the active material slurry spreading in the width direction of the electrode sheet, effectively improves the uniformity of the width of the active material layer in the electrode sheet, and reduces the risk of misalignment due to the variation in the width of the active material layer on both sides of the electrode sheet, thereby reducing the defective rate of the electrode sheet.

[0008] In any embodiment, the insulating strip-shaped coating layer includes a functional material, in which the slurry forming the active material layer is an aqueous slurry and the insulating strip-shaped coating layer includes a hydrophobic material, or the slurry forming the active material layer is an oil-based slurry and the insulating strip-shaped coating layer includes an oleophobic material, which serves to prevent the aqueous or oil-based active material slurry from diffusing to the edge of the electrode sheet.

[0009] In any embodiment, the hydrophobic material includes at least one of polyolefin, polycarbonate, polyamide, and polyacrylonitrile, and has good hydrophobic performance.

[0010] In any embodiment, the oleophobic material comprises at least one of polytetrafluoroethylene and nano-SiO2. The oleophobic material has good oleophobic performance.

[0011] In any embodiment, the thickness H1 of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer is smaller than the thickness H2 of the active material layer, so that the effect of inhibiting the diffusion of the active material layer by the isolation area is improved, and an electrode sheet with better quality is obtained.

[0012] In any embodiment, when the thickness H1 of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer is 5 μm to 30 μm and the thickness H2 of the active material layer is 30 μm to 150 μm, the insulating strip-shaped coating layer has a good effect of suppressing diffusion of the active material layer, and an electrode sheet with excellent quality can be obtained.

[0013] In any embodiment, when the relationship between the thickness H1 of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer and the thickness H2 of the active material layer satisfies 1 / 5≦H1:H2≦2 / 3, the risk that the thickness H1 of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer becomes excessive during the cold rolling process and the electrode sheet is crushed can be reduced, contributing to further improvement in the quality of the electrode sheet.

[0014] In any embodiment, when the width of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer is 1 mm to 20 mm, an electrode sheet with excellent quality can be obtained.

[0015] The second aspect of the present application further provides a method for preparing an electrode sheet, comprising the steps of: preparing an insulating strip-shaped coating layer: mixing a functional material, an insulating material and a first binder, adding a first solvent to form a first slurry, coating the first slurry on both sides of the current collector surface along the length direction of the current collector, respectively, and drying to form two insulating strip-shaped coating layers, forming the current collector surface between the two insulating strip-shaped coating layers that is not coated with the first slurry as a main area, and the functional material is selected from a hydrophobic material and an oleophobic material; preparing an active material layer: mixing an electrode active material, a conductive agent and a second binder, and adding a second solvent to form a second slurry; coating the second slurry on the surface of the main area, drying to form an active material layer, wherein the contact angle between the second slurry and the insulating strip-shaped coating layer is greater than 90°, and optionally greater than 125°.

[0016] As described above, the preparation method according to the present application has the advantages of a simple preparation process and a wide range of supply sources of functional materials, and is therefore suitable for mass production and advantageous for reducing production costs.

[0017] In any embodiment, the mass percent content of the functional material is 40% to 70%, the mass percent content of the insulating material is 20% to 30%, and the mass percent content of the first binder is 10% to 30%, based on the total mass of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer. By synergistically controlling the contents of the functional material, the insulating material, the first binder, and the first solvent within the above ranges, the insulating strip-shaped coating layer can have a good effect of suppressing the diffusion of the active material layer.

[0018] In any embodiment, the functional material is selected from a hydrophobic material, the first solvent is selected from an oil-based solvent, and the second solvent is selected from an aqueous solvent; or the functional material is selected from an oleophobic material, the first solvent is selected from an aqueous solvent, and the second solvent is selected from an oil-based solvent.

[0019] In any embodiment, the aqueous solvent is at least one selected from deionized water, ethylene glycol, and ethanol, and the oil solvent is at least one selected from N-methylpyrrolidone, N-dimethylamide, and dimethylsulfoxide.

[0020] In an optional embodiment, the first binder and the second binder each independently comprise polyvinylidene fluoride or styrene butadiene rubber, the binder having excellent interfacial adhesion performance.

[0021] In any embodiment, the insulating material includes at least one of aluminum oxide and boehmite, which has excellent insulating properties, and therefore the insulating strip-shaped coating layer has excellent insulating performance, thereby improving the performance of the electrode sheet.

Such defined ranges may or may not include the end values, and may be arbitrarily combined, i.e., any lower limit may be combined with any other upper limit to form a range.

[0033] Unless otherwise specified, "comprise" and "contain" as referred to in this specification mean to be open-ended and may be closed-ended. For example, "comprise" and "contain" mean that other components not listed may also be included or contained, and may include or contain only the listed components.

[0034] Unless otherwise specified, in the present invention, the term "or" is inclusive. For example, the phrase "A or B" means "A, B, or both A and B." Specifically, any of the following conditions also satisfies the condition "A or B": A is true (or exists) and B is false (or does not exist), A is false (or does not exist) and B is true (or exists), or A and B are true (or exist).

[0035] In the course of research into secondary batteries, the inventors discovered that in the electrode sheets of conventional secondary batteries, the active material slurry diffuses outward in the width direction of the electrode sheet. This is believed to be because, when the active material slurry is applied to the surface of the current collector, the width of the active material layer on sides A and B of the electrode sheet varies from the designed width. When the widths of sides A and B of the electrode sheet vary, sides A and B are more likely to become misaligned, increasing the defect rate of the electrode sheet.

[0036] Based on this, the inventor has conducted extensive research and found that by providing isolation areas in which insulating strip-shaped coating layers are provided on both sides of the main area (area in which the active material layer is provided) of the electrode sheet, the outer edge of the active material layer is limited to the boundary between the main area and the isolation area, and a large contact angle is formed between the slurry forming the active material layer and the insulating strip-shaped coating layer, reducing creeping and transition between the active material and the insulating strip-shaped coating layer, improving the problem of active material slurry diffusing in the width direction of the electrode sheet, effectively improving the uniformity of the width of the active material layer in the electrode sheet, reducing the risk of misalignment due to the variation in width of the active material layer on both sides of the electrode sheet, and reducing the defective rate of the electrode sheet.

[0037] In order to effectively reduce the defective rate of electrode sheets and improve the quality of secondary batteries, the present application provides an electrode sheet and a manufacturing method thereof, a secondary battery, a battery module and a battery pack.

[0038] In one embodiment of the present application, the present application provides an electrode sheet including a main body area 11 and an isolation area 12, as shown in Figures 1 and 2, in which the isolation area 12 is provided on both sides of the main body area 11 in the width direction of the electrode sheet, the isolation area 12 is provided with an insulating strip-shaped coating layer 121, and the main body area 11 is provided with an active material layer 111. Wherein, the outer edge of the active material layer 111 is limited to the boundary between the main body area 11 and the isolation area 12, and the contact angle between the slurry forming the active material layer 111 and the insulating strip-shaped coating layer 121 is greater than 90°, and optionally greater than 125°.

[0039] In the present application, the main body area 11 refers to the main body portion of the electrode sheet, and the main body area 11 is usually provided with an active material layer 111. For example, the active material layer 111 may be coated on the current collector surface in the main body area 11, and the isolation areas 12 refer to the portions located on both sides of the main body area 11 in the width direction of the electrode sheet, and the isolation areas 12 are provided with an insulating strip-shaped coating layer 121. The electrode sheet according to the present application may include a positive electrode sheet and / or a negative electrode sheet.

[0040] In the present application, the electrode sheet may be one-sided or two-sided coated. Referring to Fig. 2, in one example, when the electrode sheet is one-sided coated, the active material layer 111 and the insulating strip-shaped coating layer 121 may be provided on one side of the current collector 14, and referring to Fig. 3, in another example, when the electrode sheet is double-sided coated, the active material layer 111 and the insulating strip-shaped coating layer 121 may be provided on both sides of the current collector 14.

[0041] Although the mechanism is unclear, the inventor discovered that the electrode sheet according to the present application includes a main area and isolation areas located on both sides of the main area, and that by providing an insulating strip-shaped coating layer in the isolation area, the outer edge of the active material layer is limited to the boundary between the main area and the isolation area, and the contact angle between the slurry forming the active material layer and the insulating strip-shaped coating layer exceeds 90°, which improves the problem of the active material slurry diffusing in the width direction of the electrode sheet, improves the uniformity of the width of the active material layer in the electrode sheet, reduces the risk of misalignment due to the variation in the width of the active material layer on both sides of the electrode sheet, and reduces the defective rate of the electrode sheet.

[0042] In some embodiments, the insulating strip coating comprises a functional material. The functional material according to the present application may comprise a hydrophobic material or an oleophobic material.

[0043] In some embodiments, when the slurry forming the active material layer is a water-based slurry, the insulating strip-shaped coating layer includes a hydrophobic material, so that the aqueous active material slurry has a relatively large contact angle with the insulating strip-shaped coating layer. Thus, when the aqueous active material slurry comes into contact with the insulating strip-shaped coating layer, the aqueous active material slurry is less likely to impregnate the insulating strip-shaped coating layer, and serves to suppress the diffusion of the aqueous active material slurry to the edge of the electrode sheet.

[0044] In some other embodiments, when the slurry forming the active material layer is an oil-based slurry, the insulating strip-shaped coating layer includes an oleophobic material, so that the contact angle between the insulating strip-shaped coating layer and the oil-based active material slurry is relatively large. In this way, when the oil-based active material slurry contacts the insulating strip-shaped coating layer, the oil-based active material slurry is less likely to impregnate the insulating strip-shaped coating layer, and plays a role in suppressing the diffusion of the oil-based active material slurry to the edge of the electrode sheet.

[0045] In the present application, the hydrophobic material is not particularly limited as long as it can achieve the purpose of the present application. In one embodiment, the hydrophobic material includes at least one of polyolefin, polycarbonate, polyamide, and polyacrylonitrile. In the present application, the polyolefin is not particularly limited as long as it can achieve the purpose of the present application, and may include, for example, polypropylene.

[0046] In the present application, the oleophobic material is not particularly limited as long as it can achieve the object of the present application. In one embodiment, the oleophobic material includes at least one of polytetrafluoroethylene and nano-SiO2. In the present application, there is no particular limitation on the particle size of the nano-SiO2, and for example, the particle size range is 10 nm to 1000 nm.

[0047] 2 and 3, in some embodiments, the thickness H1 of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer 121 is smaller than the thickness H2 of the active material layer 111, thereby avoiding a situation in which the thickness of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer is too small to affect the effect of the isolation area on the diffusion of the active material layer, or the thickness of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer is too large to affect the die-cut quality of the electrode sheet, thereby affecting the quality of the electrode sheet. Thus, the thickness of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer according to the present application is smaller than the thickness of the active material layer, thereby providing a good effect of the isolation area on the diffusion of the active material layer, and thus providing an electrode sheet with excellent quality.

[0048] In some embodiments, the thickness H1 of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer is 5 μm to 30 μm, and the thickness H2 of the active material layer is 30 μm to 150 μm. By controlling the thickness H1 of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer and the thickness H2 of the active material layer within the above ranges, the insulating strip-shaped coating layer has a good effect of suppressing the diffusion of the active material layer, and an electrode sheet with excellent quality can be obtained. In the present application, there is no specific limit to the width of the active material layer, and electrode sheets with different active material layer widths can be produced according to needs, and of course, the design of the active material layer widths of the electrode sheets A and B sides is usually the same.

[0049] In some embodiments, the relationship between the thickness H1 of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer and the thickness H2 of the active material layer satisfies 1 / 5≦H1:H2≦2 / 3, which can reduce the risk of the electrode sheet being crushed due to the thickness H1 of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer becoming too large during the cold rolling process, and is advantageous for further improving the quality of the electrode sheet.

[0050] In some embodiments, the width of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer is 1 mm to 20 mm, which can avoid the insulating strip-shaped coating layer being too wide, which affects the welding effect of the electrode tab and is disadvantageous in increasing the yield rate of the electrode sheet, and the insulating strip-shaped coating layer being too narrow, which affects the effect of the isolation area in suppressing the diffusion of the active material layer. Thus, in the present application, by controlling the width of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer within the above range, an electrode sheet having excellent quality can be obtained.

[0051] 4 and 5, in some embodiments, the electrode sheet according to the present application further includes a blank area 13, which is located on the side of the isolation area 12 farther from the main body area 11 in the width direction of the electrode sheet. The blank area 13 according to the present application may refer to an area located on the edge of the electrode sheet, the surface of the blank area being a current collector, and the blank area can provide a space for a pole tab that converges electrons. In some embodiments, the width of the blank area is 10 mm to 60 mm.

[0052] One embodiment of the present application provides a method for making an electroded sheet, comprising the steps of:

[0053] Preparation of insulating strip-shaped coating layer: Mixing the functional material, insulating material and first binder, then adding a first solvent to form a first slurry, coating the first slurry on both sides of the current collector surface along the length of the current collector, drying to form two insulating strip-shaped coating layers. The surface of the current collector between the two insulating strip-shaped coating layers that is not coated with the first slurry forms the main body area.

[0054] Preparation of active material layer: mixing an electrode active material, a conductive agent and a second binder, and then adding a second solvent to form a second slurry, coating the second slurry on the surface of the main body area, and drying to form an active material layer, in which the contact angle between the second slurry and the insulating strip-shaped coating layer is greater than 90°, and optionally greater than 125°.

[0055] Even if the active material slurry is accidentally coated onto the surface of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer during the production process, the active material slurry on the surface of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer is easily peeled off even after drying, due to the large contact angle between the active material layer slurry and the insulating strip-shaped coating layer, which is advantageous for increasing the yield rate of electrode sheets.

[0056] In the present application, the functional material is selected from a hydrophobic material or an oleophobic material. In some embodiments, when the functional material is selected from a hydrophobic material, the first solvent is selected from an oil-based solvent, and the second solvent is selected from an aqueous solvent. It can be understood that in the process of preparing the negative electrode active material layer, the second solvent in the negative electrode active material slurry (second slurry) is usually selected as an aqueous solvent, such as deionized water, and the first solvent is correspondingly selected as an oil-based solvent. Based on this, the embodiment may be adopted when preparing the negative electrode sheet.

[0057] In some other embodiments, the functional material is selected from an oleophobic material, the first solvent is selected from an aqueous solvent, and the second solvent is selected from an oil-based solvent. It can be understood that in the process of preparing the positive electrode active material layer, the second solvent in the positive electrode active material slurry (second slurry) is usually selected as an oil-based solvent, such as N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), and the first solvent is correspondingly selected as an aqueous solvent. Based on this, the embodiment may be adopted when preparing the positive electrode sheet.

[0058] In some embodiments, the mass percent content of the functional material is 40% to 70%, the mass percent content of the insulating material is 20% to 30%, and the mass percent content of the first binder is 10% to 30% in the total mass of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer. By synergistically controlling the contents of the functional material, the insulating material, the first binder, and the first solvent within the above ranges, the insulating property against the diffusion of the active material layer is improved. band Inhibitory effect of the coating layer of , well vinegar It is possible.

[0059] In the present application, the aqueous solvent and the oil-based solvent are not particularly limited as long as they can achieve the object of the present application. In some embodiments, the aqueous solvent is at least one selected from deionized water, ethylene glycol, and ethanol, and has good dispersibility for the oleophobic material, and the oil-based solvent is at least one selected from N-methylpyrrolidone, N-dimethylamide, and dimethyl sulfoxide, and has good dispersibility for the hydrophobic material.

[0060] In the present application, the first binder and the second binder are not particularly limited as long as they can achieve the object of the present application. In some embodiments, the first binder and the second binder each independently include polyvinylidene fluoride or styrene butadiene rubber. The binder has good interface adhesion performance.

[0061] In some embodiments, the insulating material according to the present application includes at least one of aluminum oxide and boehmite, and the insulating material has excellent insulating properties, so that the insulating strip-shaped coating layer has excellent insulating properties and improves the performance of the electrode sheet. In the present application, the particle size of the insulating material is not particularly limited as long as the object of the present invention can be achieved.

[0062] In some embodiments, the surface of the current collector between the outer edge of each insulating coating strip away from the main area and the long side edge of the current collector proximate thereto defines a blank area, for example, the blank area may be defined by applying the first slurry to a location that is a certain distance from the long side edge of the current collector.

[0063] The secondary battery, the battery module, the battery pack, and the electric device according to the present application will be described below with appropriate reference to the drawings.

[0064] One embodiment of the present application provides a secondary battery.

[0065] Typically, a secondary battery includes a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, an electrolyte, and a separator. During the charge and discharge process of the battery, active ions are repeatedly inserted and removed between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet. The electrolyte serves to conduct ions between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet. The separator is placed between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, and mainly serves to prevent short circuits between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, while allowing the passage of ions.

[0066] [Positive electrode sheet] The positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode active material layer provided on at least one surface of the positive electrode current collector.

[0067] For example, the positive electrode current collector has two surfaces opposing each other in the thickness direction of the positive electrode current collector, and the positive electrode active material layer is provided on either one or both of the two opposing surfaces of the positive electrode current collector.

[0068] In some embodiments, the positive electrode current collector can be a metal foil sheet or a composite current collector. For example, aluminum foil can be used as the metal foil sheet. The composite current collector can include a polymer base layer and a metal layer formed on at least one surface of the polymer base layer. The composite current collector can be formed by forming a metal material (such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, nickel, nickel alloy, titanium, titanium alloy, silver, and silver alloy) on a polymer base material (such as a substrate such as polypropylene (PP), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polystyrene (PS), and polyethylene (PE)).

[0069] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active material may be a positive electrode active material for batteries known in the art. For example, the positive electrode active material may include at least one of a lithium-containing phosphate having an olivine structure, a lithium transition metal oxide, and a modified compound thereof. However, the present application is not limited to these materials, and the positive electrode active material may be a battery positive electrode active material known in the art. for Other traditional materials used as positive electrode active materials may be used.

[0070] In some embodiments, the positive electrode active material layer further includes an optional binder. For example, the binder may include at least one of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), vinylidene fluoride-tetrafluoroethylene-propylene terpolymer, vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene-tetrafluoroethylene terpolymer, tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, and fluorine-containing acrylate resin.

[0123] Measurement of the contact angle between the active material slurry and the insulating strip: Contact angle measurement material The contact angle between the slurry and the insulating strip coating was measured.

[0124] insulation band Measurement of thickness H1 of the coating layer and thickness H2 of the active material layer: Micrometer Ta The thickness H1 of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer and the thickness H2 of the active material layer were measured using the above method.

[0125] Measurement of electrode sheet defect rate: Since there is a large color difference between the active material and the insulating strip-like coating layer, a device called a charge-coupled device (CCD) displays a gray value to distinguish the boundary between the active material layer and the insulating strip-like coating layer. 100 electrode sheets prepared in each example and comparative example were taken, and the CCD device was used to determine whether or not each electrode sheet had a clear interface between the insulating strip-like coating layer and the active material layer using the following method.

[0126] When the active material layer and the insulating strip-shaped coating layer did not fuse together, a clear gradation change appeared, there was a clear interface, and it was judged as a good product.When the active material layer and the insulating strip-shaped coating layer fuse together, an unclear gradation change appeared, there was no clear interface, and it was judged as a defective product.

[0127] Then, the number of good and defective items out of the 100 electrode sheets were counted, where the defect rate of the electrode sheets = number of defective items / 100 x 100%.

[0128] The electrode sheets produced in each of the Examples and Comparative Examples were measured for their defect rates in accordance with the electrode sheet defect rate measurement method provided in the present application, and the results were as follows.

[0129] Table 5: Performance measurement results of Examples 1-1 to 1-8 and Comparative Example 1-1 JPEG0007608672000005.jpg69170

[0130] As can be seen from the above results, the electrode sheets of Examples 1-1 to 1-8 had low defect rates, and it was revealed that the electrode sheets having the insulating strip-shaped coating layer according to the present application have excellent quality by reducing the defect rate of the electrode sheets, reduce the waste of the electrode sheets, and reduce the production costs.

[0131] In contrast, the electrode sheet of Comparative Example 1-1 is prone to a problem of the active material slurry diffusing outward in the width direction of the electrode sheet because the first slurry does not contain the functional material of the present application, resulting in a high defect rate, and a high defect rate is disadvantageous in reducing production costs.

[0132] Table 6: Performance measurement results of Examples 2-1 to 2-11 and Comparative Example 2-1 JPEG0007608672000006.jpg105170

[0133] As can be seen from the above results, the electrode sheets of Examples 2-1 to 2-11 had low defect rates, and it was revealed that the electrode sheets having the insulating strip-shaped coating layer according to the present application have excellent quality by reducing the defect rate of the electrode sheets, reduce the waste of the electrode sheets, and reduce the production costs.

[0134] In contrast, the electrode sheet of Comparative Example 2-1 has a first slurry that does not contain the functional material of the present application, and therefore is prone to a problem of the active material slurry diffusing outward in the width direction of the electrode sheet, resulting in a high defect rate, and a high defect rate is detrimental to reducing production costs.

[0135] Table 7: Performance measurement results of Examples 3-1 to 3-7 JPEG0007608672000007.jpg64170

[0136] The insulating strip-shaped coating layer thickness H1 and the active material layer thickness H2 generally affect the defect rate of the electrode sheet. As can be seen from Example 1-1 and Examples 3-1 to 3-5, the defect rate of the electrode sheet can be further reduced by controlling the insulating strip-shaped coating layer thickness H1 and the active material layer thickness H2.

[0137] As can be seen from Examples 3-1 to 3-3, the defective rate of the electrode sheets can be further reduced by controlling the ratio between the insulating strip-shaped coating layer thickness H1 and the active material layer thickness H2.

[0138] The width of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer also has a certain effect on the defect rate of the electrode sheet, and as can be seen from Examples 3-1 to 3-7, the defect rate of the electrode sheet can be further reduced by controlling the width of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer.

[0139] Table 8: Performance measurement results of Examples 4-1 to 4-7 JPEG0007608672000008.jpg64170

[0140] The insulating strip-shaped coating layer thickness H1 and the active material layer thickness H2 usually affect the defect rate of the electrode sheet. As can be seen from Example 2-1 and Examples 4-1 to 4-7, the defect rate of the electrode sheet can be further reduced by controlling the insulating strip-shaped coating layer thickness H1 and the active material layer thickness H2.

[0141] As can be seen from Examples 4-1 to 4-3, the defective rate of the electrode sheets can be further reduced by controlling the ratio between the insulating strip-shaped coating layer thickness H1 and the active material layer thickness H2.

[0142] The width of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer also has a certain effect on the defect rate of the electrode sheet, and as can be seen from Examples 4-1 to 4-7, the defect rate of the electrode sheet can be further reduced by controlling the width of the insulating strip-shaped coating layer.

[0143] 12 is a photograph of the electrode sheet produced in Example 1-1 (the main body area is not shown completely because it is relatively wide). As can be seen from the figure, a clear interface is formed between the main body area and the isolation area of ​​the electrode sheet, indicating that the active material in the main body area does not diffuse in the width direction of the electrode sheet.

[0144] Fig. 13 is a photograph of the electrode sheet prepared in Comparative Example 1-1 (the main body area is not shown completely because it is relatively wide). As can be seen from the drawing, an unclear interface is formed between the main body area and the isolation area of ​​the electrode sheet, indicating that the active material in the main body area diffuses in the width direction of the electrode sheet.
