[0010] <Battery cell> A battery cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes an electrode assembly in which multiple laminated structures, each having a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator interposed between the positive and negative electrodes, are stacked, and a battery cell case encloses the electrode assembly. The positive electrode and the negative electrode each include a current collector and a composite material containing an active material and coated on the surface of the current collector. Furthermore, at least one of the current collector in the positive electrode and the current collector in the negative electrode has an uncoated portion on the periphery of its surface that is not coated with the composite material. Among the current collectors having uncoated portions, the uncoated portion of the current collector that is farthest from the surface of the battery cell case is designated as the first uncoated portion, and the first uncoated portion has a first exposed portion that extends to the outside of the battery cell case. Note that, among the current collectors having uncoated portions, the current collector that is farthest from the surface of the battery cell case refers to, for example, in the case of stacked electrode assemblies, the current collector that is closest to the center of the electrode assemblies in the stacking direction of the electrode assemblies.

[0011] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a battery cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. The drawings shown below are schematic illustrations, and the size and shape of each part are appropriately exaggerated to facilitate understanding.

[0012] FIG. 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a battery cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The battery cell 20 shown in FIG. 1 includes a positive electrode 4, a negative electrode 5, and a separator 6 interposed between the positive electrode 4 and the negative electrode 5. A plurality of stacked structures of the positive electrode 4, the negative electrode 5, and the separator 6 are further stacked to form an electrode assembly 8. The positive electrode 4 includes a positive electrode current collector 42 and a positive electrode composite 44 containing an active material and coated on the surface of the positive electrode current collector 42. The negative electrode 5 includes a negative electrode current collector 52 and a negative electrode composite 54 containing an active material and coated on the surface of the negative electrode current collector 52. In the electrode assembly 8 shown in FIG. 1, a structure in which the negative electrode 5, the separator 6, and the positive electrode 4 are stacked in this order is stacked next to a structure in which the positive electrode 4, the separator 6, and the negative electrode 5 are stacked in this order. In other words, the negative electrodes 5 are adjacent to each other, and the adjacent negative electrodes 5 share the negative electrode current collector 52. Similarly, next to a structure in which the negative electrode 5, separator 6, and positive electrode 4 are stacked in this order, there is another structure in which the positive electrode 4, separator 6, and negative electrode 5 are stacked in this order, i.e., the positive electrodes 4 are adjacent to each other, and the adjacent positive electrodes 4 share the positive electrode current collector 42. Therefore, the electrode assembly 8 shown in FIG. 1 is stacked in the following order from top to bottom: positive electrode current collector 42, positive electrode composite 44, separator 6, negative electrode composite 54, negative electrode current collector 52, negative electrode composite 54, separator 6, positive electrode composite 44, positive electrode current collector 42, positive electrode composite 44, separator 6, negative electrode composite 54, negative electrode current collector 52, negative electrode composite 54...positive electrode current collector 42.

[0013] The battery cell 20 has a battery cell case 7 that encloses an electrode assembly 8. The battery cell case 7 is made by fusing the ends of two films together to form a housing that encloses the electrode assembly 8 inside.

[0014] The positive electrode current collector 42 of the positive electrode 4 has an uncoated portion on the periphery of its surface that is not coated with the positive electrode composite 44, and similarly, the negative electrode current collector 52 of the negative electrode 5 has an uncoated portion on the periphery of its surface that is not coated with the negative electrode composite 54. Of the current collectors having uncoated portions, the negative electrode current collector 520 that corresponds to the current collector that is farthest from the surface of the battery cell case 7 has an uncoated portion (referred to as the "first uncoated portion") 52B that extends to the outside of the battery cell case 7 and has a first exposed portion 52A that is exposed from the battery cell case 7. In other words, the first uncoated portion 52B of the negative electrode current collector 520 continues to the first exposed portion 52A that is located outside the battery cell case 7. The tip of the first exposed portion 52A is formed in a curved shape. The negative electrode current collector 520 having the first exposed portion 52A is the current collector closest to the center of the electrode body 8 in the stacking direction of the electrode body 8 (the direction of arrow X in FIG. 1).

[0015] The battery cell according to the embodiment of the present disclosure has the above configuration, and is therefore able to efficiently dissipate heat generated from the electrode assembly.

[0016] Heat is generated in the electrode assembly during charging / discharging, short-circuiting, and other processes. Conventionally, to dissipate the heat generated from the electrode assembly, for example, a heat dissipation structure has been adopted in which a heat dissipation member is exposed to the outside of the battery cell, or a current collector is extended to the outside of the battery cell to provide a path for dissipating heat from the electrode assembly. However, in the former case, there is a risk that heat conduction at the joint between the electrode assembly and the heat dissipation member may become the rate-limiting process depending on the bonding state between the electrode assembly and the heat dissipation member. In the latter case, there is a risk that the rate-limiting process occurs in the heat dissipation route from the center of a stacked electrode assembly. Therefore, there is a need for a more efficient method for dissipating the heat generated from the electrode assembly.

[0017] In contrast, a battery cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is configured so that current collectors having uncoated portions in the electrode assembly housed within the battery cell are used as heat dissipation members, and among the current collectors having uncoated portions, the current collector farthest from the surface of the battery cell case is used as the heat dissipation member. Therefore, in the electrode assembly, which is the heat source, the current collector located in the center, where heat is particularly likely to accumulate, is used as the heat dissipation member. This allows for smooth heat dissipation without a rate-limiting process for heat conduction, and allows for efficient heat dissipation of heat generated from the electrode assembly. Furthermore, no separate dedicated component is used for heat dissipation, which leads to a reduction in the number of parts.

[0018] Position of the first exposed part When the electrode surface of the electrode assembly has a rectangular shape, the first exposed portion is preferably disposed on the long side of the rectangular shape. 2, when the electrode body 8 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape and the electrode surface 8A has a rectangular shape, it is preferable that the first exposed portion 52A of the current collector 520 is disposed on the long side surface 8B of the rectangular shape of the electrode surface 8A, rather than on the short side surface 8C. Note that in FIG. 2, the positive electrode current collector, positive electrode composite, negative electrode current collector, negative electrode composite, separator, and the like that constitute the electrode body 8 are not shown, and the electrode body is simply depicted as the electrode body 8, except for the current collector 520 having the first exposed portion 52A. This configuration reduces the distance between the center of the electrode body, where heat tends to accumulate, and the first exposed portion, and also increases the cross-sectional area of ​​the heat dissipation path, allowing heat generated from the electrode body to be dissipated more efficiently.

[0019] Electrode having a first exposed portion When the electrode surface of the electrode assembly is rectangular, it is preferable to provide the first exposed portion on the electrode with the longer side of the rectangular shape, either the positive electrode or the negative electrode. This increases the cross-sectional area of ​​the heat dissipation path, allowing for more efficient dissipation of heat generated from the electrode assembly. It is also preferable that the electrode with the longer side of the rectangular shape, either the positive electrode or the negative electrode, is the negative electrode.

[0020] ·Second exposed part FIG. 1 shows an embodiment in which the uncoated portion of the current collector has only one exposed portion that extends to the outside of the battery cell case, but this is not limited to this and the current collector may have two or more exposed portions.

[0021] Here, an embodiment having two exposed portions will be described with reference to FIG. 3.

[0022] FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating another aspect of a battery cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. 3, a first uncoated portion 52B of a negative electrode current collector 520, which corresponds to the current collector that is farthest from the surface of the battery cell case 7 among the current collectors having uncoated portions, extends to the outside of the battery cell case 7 and includes a first exposed portion 52A that is exposed from the battery cell case 7. Also, an uncoated portion 42B (referred to as a "second uncoated portion") of a positive electrode current collector 420 that is closer to the surface of the battery cell case 7 than the negative electrode current collector 520 that has the first exposed portion 52A, includes a second exposed portion 42A that extends to the outside of the battery cell case 7. In other words, the first uncoated portion 52B of the negative electrode current collector 520 continues to the first exposed portion 52A that is located outside the battery cell case 7, and the second uncoated portion 42B of the positive electrode current collector 420 continues to the second exposed portion 42A that is located outside the battery cell case 7. The tip ends of the first exposed portion 52A and the second exposed portion 42A are both formed in a curved shape. The negative electrode current collector 520 having the first exposed portion 52A is the current collector closest to the center of the electrode body 8 in the stacking direction of the electrode body 8, and the positive electrode current collector 420 having the second exposed portion 42A is the current collector farther from the center of the electrode body 8 than the negative electrode current collector 520 in the stacking direction of the electrode body 8.

[0023] This configuration allows the cross-sectional area of ​​the heat dissipation path to be increased, so that the heat generated from the electrode body can be dissipated more efficiently.

[0024] Preferably, the second uncoated portion is joined to the first uncoated portion inside the battery cell case. By providing a portion inside the battery cell case where the first uncoated portion and the second uncoated portion are joined, heat can be efficiently dissipated from the entire stacked electrode assembly.

[0025] Furthermore, it is preferable that the thickness of the first uncoated portion (in FIG. 2, the thickness of uncoated portion 52B in positive electrode current collector 420) is greater than the thickness of the second uncoated portion (in FIG. 2, the thickness of uncoated portion 42B in negative electrode current collector 520). Note that the thickness refers to the average thickness, and means the arithmetic mean value of thicknesses at 10 locations arbitrarily selected from among the relevant locations. Because the thickness of the first uncoated area is larger, heat can be dissipated preferentially from the center, where heat tends to build up.

[0026] In the battery cell 20 shown in Fig. 1, the first uncoated portion 52B of the negative electrode current collector 520 is exposed to the outside through the fused portion where the ends of two films are fused together. In the battery cell 20 shown in Fig. 3, the first uncoated portion 52B of the negative electrode current collector 520 and the second uncoated portion 42B of the positive electrode current collector 420 are exposed to the outside through the fused portion where the ends of two films are fused together. In order to improve fusion properties and airtightness, the surfaces of the first uncoated portion 52B and the second uncoated portion 42B that pass through the fused portion of the battery cell case 7 are preferably subjected to at least one of roughening treatment and carbon coating treatment.

[0027] 1 and 3 show the stacked electrode assemblies, the battery cell according to the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited to this configuration. For example, the battery cell may have a structure of a wound electrode assembly cell having a wound electrode assembly therein.

[0028] Next, a battery module, a battery pack, and a vehicle having a battery cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0029] (Overall configuration of vehicle 100) Fig. 4 is a schematic plan view showing a main part of a vehicle 100 to which a battery pack 10 according to an embodiment is applied. As shown in Fig. 4, the vehicle 100 is a battery electric vehicle (BEV) with the battery pack 10 mounted under the floor.

When describing using the front-rear, left-right, up-down directions, these directions refer to the front and rear in the vehicle longitudinal direction, the left and right in the vehicle width direction, and the up-down in the vehicle vertical direction, unless otherwise specified.

[0030] In the vehicle 100 of this embodiment, for example, a DC / DC converter 102, an electric compressor 104, and a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) heater 106 are arranged on the vehicle front side of the battery pack 10. In addition, a motor 108, a gearbox 110, an inverter 112, and a charger 114 are arranged on the vehicle rear side of the battery pack 10.

[0032] A charging port 116 is provided on the right side at the rear of the vehicle 100, and by connecting a charging plug of an external charging facility (not shown) to the charging port 116, power can be stored in the battery pack 10 via the on-board charger 114.

[0033] The arrangement and structure of each component constituting vehicle 100 are not limited to the above-described configuration. For example, the present invention may be applied to a hybrid vehicle (HV) or a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) equipped with an engine. In addition, in this embodiment, the vehicle is a rear-wheel drive vehicle in which motor 108 is mounted at the rear of the vehicle, but the present invention is not limited to this. The vehicle may be a front-wheel drive vehicle in which motor 108 is mounted at the front of the vehicle, or a pair of motors 108 may be mounted at the front and rear of the vehicle. Furthermore, the vehicle may be equipped with in-wheel motors on each wheel.

[0034] Here, the battery pack 10 is configured to include a plurality of battery modules 11. In this embodiment, as an example, ten battery modules 11 are provided. Specifically, five battery modules 11 are arranged on the right side of the vehicle 100 in the vehicle longitudinal direction, and five battery modules 11 are arranged on the left side of the vehicle 100 in the vehicle longitudinal direction. In addition, the respective battery modules 11 are electrically connected to each other.

[0035] Fig. 5 is a schematic perspective view of the battery module 11. As shown in Fig. 5, the battery module 11 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape with the vehicle width direction as the longitudinal direction. The outer shell of the battery module 11 is formed from an aluminum alloy. For example, the outer shell of the battery module 11 is formed by joining aluminum die-casting to both ends of an extruded aluminum alloy material by laser welding or the like.

[0036] A pair of voltage terminals 12 and a connector 14 are provided at each end of the battery module 11 in the vehicle width direction. A flexible printed circuit board 22, which will be described later, is connected to the connector 14.

In this embodiment, as an example, 24 battery cells 20 are arranged in the fore-and-aft direction of the vehicle and bonded to one another.

[0039] A flexible printed circuit (FPC) 22 is disposed on top of the battery cells 20. The flexible printed circuit 22 is formed in a strip shape with its longitudinal direction aligned with the vehicle width direction, and a thermistor 24 is provided at each end of the flexible printed circuit 22. The thermistor 24 is not bonded to the battery cells 20, but is pressed toward the battery cells 20 by the upper lid of the battery module 11.

[0040] One or more cushioning materials (not shown) are housed inside the battery module 11. For example, the cushioning materials are elastically deformable thin plate-like members, and are arranged between adjacent battery cells 20 with the arrangement direction of the battery cells 20 as the thickness direction. In this embodiment, as an example, cushioning materials are arranged at both ends of the battery module 11 in the longitudinal direction and in the center portion in the longitudinal direction.

[0041] 7 is a schematic diagram of a battery cell 20 housed in a battery module 11 as viewed from the thickness direction. As shown in Fig. 7, the battery cell 20 is formed in a substantially rectangular plate shape and houses an electrode body (not shown) inside. The electrode body is configured by laminating a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator, and is sealed with a laminate film 28.

[0042] In this embodiment, as an example, the housing portion for the electrode body is formed by folding and pasting an embossed sheet-like laminate film 28. Note that although both a single-cup embossed structure in which embossing is performed in one place and a double-cup embossed structure in which embossing is performed in two places can be employed, this embodiment employs a single-cup embossed structure with a drawing depth of approximately 8 mm to 10 mm.

[0043] The upper ends of both longitudinal ends of the battery cells 20 are bent to form corners. The upper end of the battery cells 20 is also bent, and a fixing tape 30 is wrapped around the upper end of the battery cells 20 along the longitudinal direction.
