[0002] This application relates to the battery technology field, and more specifically to electrode assemblies, battery cells, batteries, and power consumption devices. [Background technology]
[0003] With the increasing scarcity of conventional energy sources, new energy sources are gradually becoming an important type of energy in various industries. Batteries are a prime example of this new energy source. With rapid technological advancements, batteries are widely used in various industries, such as power tools, electric vehicles, and energy storage equipment. To meet the growing needs of these industries, the demands on battery performance, such as safety features, are also increasing. Therefore, there is a strong need to improve the safety performance of batteries to meet the growing needs of various industries. [Overview of the project]
[0004] This application provides an electrode assembly, a battery cell, a battery, and a power consumption device that can improve the safety performance of a battery.
[0005] A first aspect of this application provides an electrode assembly comprising a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, a separator interposed between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, and an organic coating provided on the side of the positive electrode sheet facing the separator and / or on one side of the separator, the coating containing organic particles that react with dendrites made of a single metal.
[0006] In the electrode assembly according to the present application, the organic coating is provided on the side facing the separator of the positive electrode sheet and / or on one side of the separator, and contains organic particles that react with dendrites composed of a single metal. When dendrites containing a single metal are generated inside the battery during use, once these dendrites grow to a certain extent, they will contact and react with the organic particles in the organic coating to generate gas. As a result, the probability of short circuit inside the battery due to the electrical connection between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet is reduced, and the pressure inside the battery rises to break the explosion-proof valve of the battery to release the pressure. Therefore, the risk of the battery exploding is reduced, and the safety performance of the battery can be improved.
[0007] According to any of the above embodiments of the first aspect of the present application, the organic particles contain a reactive group that reacts with dendrites containing a single sodium metal. The reactive group can be advantageous for a rapid reaction with dendrites containing a single sodium metal, and further effectively reduces the occurrence of internal short circuits in the battery and the risk of battery explosion caused by the electrical connection between the positive electrode and the negative electrode by dendrites, improving the safety performance of the battery.
[0008] According to any of the above embodiments of the first aspect of the present application, the reactive group contains one or more of a carboxyl group, a hydroxyl group, an amino group, a thiol group, a phenolic hydroxyl group, and a biphenyl group. The above reactive group is likely to react with dendrites containing a single sodium metal, and can further effectively reduce the electrical connection between the positive electrode and the negative electrode by the above dendrites, further improving the safety performance of the battery.
[0009] According to any of the above embodiments of the first aspect of the present application, the material of the organic particles contains one or more of benzoic acid, benzophenone, indole acetic acid, phenol, and biphenyl.
[0010] According to any of the above embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the organic coating includes one or more of the following: a mesh-like organic coating, a dot-like organic coating, and a stripe-like organic coating. The above coating can contribute to improving the safety performance and cycle performance of the battery.
[0011] According to any of the above embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the organic coating is provided on the side of the positive electrode sheet facing the separator. By providing the organic coating on the side of the positive electrode sheet facing the separator, the occurrence of internal short circuits in the battery caused by the electrical connection between the positive and negative electrodes by dendrites can be effectively reduced, and the safety performance of the battery can be further improved.
[0012] According to any of the above embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the thickness H1 of the organic coating is 2 μm to 10 μm. Setting the thickness of the organic coating within this range further improves the safety performance of the battery, and by providing an appropriate thickness to the organic coating, more active material can be filled in, contributing to an improvement in the energy density of the battery.
[0013] According to any of the above embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the separator includes a first base film and a second base film, and the organic coating is provided between the first base film and the second base film. By including the first and second base films in the separator, the mechanical strength of the separator can be increased and dendrites can be prevented from penetrating the separator. Furthermore, by providing the organic coating between the first and second base films, the organic particles in the organic coating react with dendrites that have penetrated the first or second base film, further preventing the dendrites from completely penetrating the separator, thereby further improving the safety performance of the battery.
[0014] According to any of the above embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the thickness of the organic coating is 2 μm to 10 μm. By setting the thickness of the organic coating within this range, the probability of the positive and negative electrodes being electrically connected by dendrites is reduced, thereby improving the safety performance of the battery, and the filling space for the active material is increased, thereby improving the energy density of the battery.
[0015] According to any of the above embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the thickness of the first base film is 5 μm to 20 μm.
[0016] According to any of the above embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the thickness of the second base film is 5 μm to 20 μm.
[0017] According to any of the above embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the surface density of the organic coating is 1.5 g / m². 2 ~4.0g / m 2 Therefore, by setting the surface density of the organic coating within the above range, the organic coating can effectively reduce the electrical connection between the positive and negative electrodes due to dendrites.
[0018] According to any of the above embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the organic coating further comprises an adhesive, and the mass ratio of the adhesive to the organic particles is (1-5):(10-90) based on the mass of the organic coating. The addition of the adhesive increases the viscosity of the organic coating, further strengthens the bonding force between the organic coating and the positive electrode sheet, negative electrode sheet, and separator, and reduces peeling of the organic coating. Furthermore, when the mass ratio of the adhesive to the organic particles satisfies the above relationship, the organic coating can react with dendrites to reduce them while maintaining good viscosity, thereby further improving the safety performance of the battery.
[0019] According to any of the above embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the mass content of the adhesive in the organic coating is 1% to 5%.
[0020] According to any of the above embodiments of the first aspect of this application, the mass content of organic particles in the organic coating is 80% to 90%. By setting the mass content of organic particles in the organic coating to the above range, the organic coating reacts with more elemental metals, further reducing the possibility of the positive and negative electrodes being electrically connected by dendrites, thereby more effectively improving the safety performance of the battery.

[0035] In this application, the battery mainly consists of one or more battery cells, and the battery cell includes a housing, an end cover, and an electrode assembly housed within the housing, the electrode assembly being a component in which an electrochemical reaction occurs within the battery cell. Specifically, the electrode assembly is mainly formed by winding or laminating a positive electrode sheet and a negative electrode sheet, and a separator is usually provided between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet.
[0036] During battery use, as the number of cycles increases, non-uniform deposition of metal ions causes dendrites to form on the surface of the negative electrode sheet. Once these dendrites grow to a certain extent, they can penetrate the separator and continue to grow along their longitudinal direction, coming into contact with the positive electrode sheet. This results in an electrical connection between the positive and negative electrodes within the battery, causing an internal short circuit and consequently reducing the battery's safety performance.
[0037] In view of this, this application provides an electrode assembly, a battery cell, a battery, and a power consumption device that can improve the safety performance of a battery. Electrode assembly
[0038] A first aspect of this application provides an electrode assembly comprising a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet, a separator provided between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, and an organic coating provided on the side of the positive electrode sheet facing the separator and / or on one side of the separator, the coating comprising organic particles that react with dendrites containing a metal element.
[0039] In the electrode assembly according to this application, the organic coating is provided on the side of the positive electrode sheet facing the separator and / or on one side of the separator, and contains organic particles that react with dendrites containing elemental metals. When the battery is in use, dendrites containing elemental metals may form inside it. When these dendrites grow to a certain extent, they come into contact with the organic particles in the organic coating and react, generating gas. This reduces the probability of a short circuit occurring inside the battery due to the electrical connection between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, and also increases the pressure inside the battery, causing the battery's explosion-proof valve to break and the pressure to be released. As a result, the risk of the battery exploding is reduced, and the safety performance of the battery can be improved.
[0040] In some embodiments of this application, the organic particles include a reactive group that reacts with dendrites containing elemental sodium metal. This reactive group can contribute to a rapid reaction with the dendrites containing elemental sodium metal, and furthermore, it effectively reduces the risk of internal short circuits and battery explosions caused by the electrical connection between the positive and negative electrodes by the dendrites, thereby improving the safety performance of the battery.
[0041] In some embodiments of this application, the reactive group includes one or more of the following: a carboxyl group, a hydroxyl group, an amino group, a thiol group, a phenolic hydroxyl group, and a biphenyl group. The above reactive groups readily react with dendrites containing elemental sodium metal and can further effectively reduce the electrical connection between the positive and negative electrodes due to the above dendrites, thereby further improving the safety performance of the battery.
[0042] In this application, the reactive groups contained in organic particles can be measured using instruments and methods known in the art. For example, they can be measured using an infrared spectrophotometer by the following method. (1) Power-on and self-test
[0043] a. Start the optical bench, printer, and computer in this order, and wait 3 minutes for the optical bench to stabilize after startup. b. Select the required software by clicking "Start" / "All Programs" / "Thermo sciScientific OMNIC" in that order, or by clicking the shortcut on the desktop. c. Self-test of the device: Once the software is started, the device will perform a self-test. d. The two indicators in the upper left corner of the host represent the laser and scanning indicators, respectively. The laser indicator is always on, and the scanning indicator blinks. If a malfunction occurs, the laser indicator will turn off. (2) Sample measurement
[0044] a. Set up the attenuated total reflectance (ATR) test stand vertically, attach the probe so that the tip of the probe is at a constant height from the stand, and click "Confirm" after the instrument self-test. b. Place the sample on the measurement window of the stand, and rotate the probe clockwise while keeping it aligned with the measurement window until it is very close to the sample. When a sound is heard, collect data and obtain an infrared absorption spectrum showing that the transmittance or absorbance changes according to the wavenumber or wavelength.
[0045] In the embodiments of this application, by selecting an appropriate material for the organic particles, the difficulty of reaction with sodium-containing metal elements can be reduced, thereby improving the safety performance of the battery and reducing the difficulty and cost of manufacturing the battery.
[0046] In some embodiments of this application, the material of the organic particles includes one or more of benzoic acid, benzophenone, indoleacetic acid, phenol, and biphenyl. The material of the above organic particles readily reacts with dendrites containing elemental sodium metal, and a large amount of gas (e.g., hydrogen gas) is generated during the reaction with the dendrites, causing the pressure inside the battery to rise rapidly, rupture the explosion-proof valve, and release the pressure early, thereby further improving the safety performance of the battery.
[0047] In embodiments of this application, the organic coating may include a coating having an appropriate shape, thereby contributing to the discharge of gases generated by the reaction between the organic coating and the dendrites and the directed deposition of sodium ions, and further improving the safety performance and cycle performance of the battery.
[0048] In some embodiments of this application, the organic coating includes one or more of the following: a network-type organic coating, a dot-type organic coating, and a stripe-type organic coating.
[0049] It should be understood that the organic coating may include one of the following: a network-type organic coating, a dot-type organic coating, and a stripe-type organic coating, or a combination of two or more types, and is not specifically limited to the embodiments of this application.
[0050] In the above embodiments, by using dot-shaped and stripe-shaped organic coatings, the gas generated by the reaction between the organic coating and dendrites can be guided and discharged, allowing the explosion-proof valve of the battery to be quickly punctured and the pressure released, further improving the safety performance of the battery. The mesh-shaped organic coating not only improves the safety performance of the battery but can also contribute to the directional deposition of sodium ions, thereby contributing to improved battery cycle performance.
[0051] In this application, the shape of the organic coating may be determined using equipment and methods well known in the art. For example, the distribution shape of the organic coating on the separator and cathode sheet can be observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
[0052] In some embodiments of this application, the organic coating includes a dotted organic coating, where the distance between adjacent dotted organic coatings is 0.5 μm to 50 μm. By setting the distance between adjacent dotted organic coatings within this range, the organic coating can react with dendrites to reduce the electrical connection between the positive and negative electrodes caused by the dendrites. Furthermore, the gas generated by the reaction between the organic coating and the dendrites can be discharged from the electrode assembly along the gaps between the dotted organic coatings, and the explosion-proof valve of the battery can be rapidly ruptured to release the pressure, thereby further improving the safety performance of the battery.
[0053] In this application, the distance between adjacent point organic coatings is as known in the art and can be measured using instruments and methods known in the art, for example, by measuring the distance between adjacent point organic coatings using a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
[0054] In the above embodiment, the distance between adjacent point-like organic coatings may be the same or different, and can be designed according to the difficulty of the process and the actual needs.
[0055] In some examples, the distances between adjacent point-like organic coatings were 0.5 μm, 1 μm, 1.5 μm, 2 μm, 2.5 μm, 3 μm, 3.5 μm, 4 μm, 4.5 μm, 5 μm, 5.5 μm, 6 μm, 6.5 μm, 7 μm, 7.5 μm, 8 μm, 8.5 μm, 9 μm, 9.5 μm, 10 μm, 10.5 μm, 11 μm, 11.5 μm, 12 μm, 12.5 μm, 13 μm, 13.5 μm, 14 μm, 14.5 μm, 15 μm, 15.5 μm, and 16 μm. , 17μm, 18μm, 19μm, 20μm, 21μm, 22μm, 23μm, 24μm, 25μm, 26μm, 27μm, 28μm, 29μm, 30μm, 31μm, 32μm, 33μm, 34μm, 35μm, 36μm, 37μm, 38μm, 39μm, 40μm, 41μm, 42μm, 43μm, 44μm, 45μm, 46μm, 47μm, 48μm, 49μm, 50μm, or a range that is a combination of any two of the above values. For example, the distance between adjacent point-like organic coatings may range from 1 μm to 49 μm, 2 μm to 46 μm, 5 μm to 41 μm, 10 μm to 36 μm, 15 μm to 32 μm, or 20 μm to 30 μm.
[0056] In some embodiments of this application, the organic coating includes a striped organic coating, where the distance between adjacent striped organic coatings is 0.5 μm to 50 μm. Setting the distance between adjacent striped organic coatings within this range facilitates the reaction between the organic coating and the dendrites, and allows the gas generated by the reaction between the organic coating and the dendrites to be quickly discharged from the electrode assembly, thereby causing the explosion-proof valve of the battery to rupture and release the pressure, and thereby further improving the safety performance of the battery.
[0057] In this application, the distance between adjacent striped organic coatings is as known in the art and can be measured using instruments and methods known in the art, for example, by measuring the distance between adjacent striped organic coatings using an electron scanning microscope (SEM).
[0058] In the above embodiment, the distance between adjacent striped organic coatings may be the same or different, and can be designed according to the difficulty of the process and the actual needs.
[0059] In some examples, the distance between adjacent striped organic coatings was 0.5 μm, 1 μm, 1.5 μm, 2 μm, 2.5 μm, 3 μm, 3.5 μm, 4 μm, 4.5 μm, 5 μm, 5.5 μm, 6 μm, 6.5 μm, 7 μm, 7.5 μm, 8 μm, 8.5 μm, 9 μm, 9.5 μm, 10 μm, 10.5 μm, 11 μm, 11.5 μm, 12 μm, 12.5 μm, 13 μm, 13.5 μm, 14 μm, 14.5 μm, 15 μm, 15.5 μm, 1 The range may be 6μm, 17μm, 18μm, 19μm, 20μm, 21μm, 22μm, 23μm, 24μm, 25μm, 26μm, 27μm, 28μm, 29μm, 30μm, 31μm, 32μm, 33μm, 34μm, 35μm, 36μm, 37μm, 38μm, 39μm, 40μm, 41μm, 42μm, 43μm, 44μm, 45μm, 46μm, 47μm, 48μm, 49μm, 50μm, or a combination of any two of the above values. For example, the distance between adjacent striped organic coatings may range from 1 μm to 48 μm, 1.5 μm to 46 μm, 2.5 μm to 40 μm, 4 μm to 35 μm, 8 μm to 30 μm, 12 μm to 25 μm, or 14 μm to 20 μm.
[0060] In some embodiments of this application, the organic coating includes a mesh-like organic coating, where the average pore size of the pores in the mesh-like organic coating is 0.5 μm to 50 μm. Setting the average pore size of the pores in the mesh-like organic coating within this range improves the safety performance of the battery and also contributes to the directional deposition of sodium ions, thereby improving the battery's cycle performance.
[0061] In this application, the average pore diameter of the pores in the network organic coating has the meaning known in the art and can be measured using instruments and methods known in the art. The average pore diameter of the pores in the point-like organic coating can be measured, for example, using a scanning electron microscope (SEM).
[0062] In some examples, the average pore diameters of the pores in the mesh-like organic coating were 0.5 μm, 1 μm, 1.5 μm, 2 μm, 2.5 μm, 3 μm, 3.5 μm, 4 μm, 4.5 μm, 5 μm, 5.5 μm, 6 μm, 6.5 μm, 7 μm, 7.5 μm, 8 μm, 8.5 μm, 9 μm, 9.5 μm, 10 μm, 10.5 μm, 11 μm, 11.5 μm, 12 μm, 12.5 μm, 13 μm, 13.5 μm, 14 μm, 14.5 μm, 15 μm, 15.5 μm, and 16 μm. The range may be μm, 17μm, 18μm, 19μm, 20μm, 21μm, 22μm, 23μm, 24μm, 25μm, 26μm, 27μm, 28μm, 29μm, 30μm, 31μm, 32μm, 33μm, 34μm, 35μm, 36μm, 37μm, 38μm, 39μm, 40μm, 41μm, 42μm, 43μm, 44μm, 45μm, 46μm, 47μm, 48μm, 49μm, 50μm, or a combination of any two of the above values. For example, the average pore diameter range in a mesh-like organic coating may be 1 μm to 49 μm, 1.5 μm to 45 μm, 2 μm to 41 μm, 4 μm to 34 μm, 9 μm to 29 μm, 13 μm to 23 μm, or 16 μm to 20 μm.

By providing the organic coating on the separator-facing side of the positive electrode sheet, the occurrence of internal short circuits in the battery caused by the electrical connection between the positive and negative electrodes by dendrites can be effectively reduced, and the safety performance of the battery can be further improved.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, the separator comprises a first base film and a second base film, and the organic coating is provided between the first and second base films. By including the first and second base films in the separator, the mechanical strength of the separator can be enhanced, and penetration of the separator by dendrites can be suppressed. Furthermore, by providing the organic coating between the first and second base films, the organic particles in the organic coating react with dendrites that have penetrated the first or second base film, further suppressing the dendrites from completely penetrating the separator, thereby further improving the safety performance of the battery.
[0068] In some embodiments of this application, the thickness of the organic coating is 2 μm to 10 μm.
[0069] In some embodiments of this application, the thickness of the first base film and the second base film is independently 5 μm to 20 μm.
[0070] In this application, the thicknesses of the first base film and the second base film are as known in the art and can be measured using methods well known in the art, such as a micrometer (e.g., Mitutoyo 293-100, with an accuracy of 0.1 μm).
[0071] In the embodiments described above, the material and thickness of the first base film and the second base film may be the same or different, but the material and thickness of the first base film and the second base film can be selected according to the actual application needs, and the embodiments of this application are not specifically limited.
[0072] In some examples, any known separator with excellent chemical and mechanical stability can be selected as the separator. For example, the separator may include one or more porous polyolefin resin films (e.g., polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinylidene fluoride), porous glass fibers, and porous nonwoven fabrics. The porous separator may be a single-layer film or a multilayer composite film. If the porous separator is a multilayer composite film, the materials of each layer may be the same or different.
[0073] Note that the above-mentioned parameters related to the separator and organic coating are all one-sided parameters.
[0074] In some embodiments of this application, the surface density of the organic coating is 1.5 g / m². 2 ~4.0g / m 2 Therefore, by setting the surface density of the organic coating within the above range, the organic coating can effectively reduce the electrical connection between the positive and negative electrodes due to dendrites.
[0075] In this application, the above-mentioned surface density refers to the surface density of the organic coating on one side surface, and is in the sense known in the art and can be tested by methods known in the art. For example, it can be tested according to the following steps: The sampled sample is punched out into a small circular sheet with an area of S1, its mass is weighed and recorded as M1. Then, the coating on the weighed sample is removed, the mass of the substrate is weighed and recorded as M0, (1) When the organic coating is present on only one side of the substrate, the surface density of the organic coating on that side is (M1-M0) / S1, (2) When both sides of the substrate have an organic coating, the surface density of the organic coating on one side is (M1-M0) / S1 / 2.
[0076] In some examples, the surface density of the organic coating is 1.5 g / m². 2, 1.6 g / m 2 , 1.7 g / m 2 , 1.8 g / m 2 , 1.9 g / m 2 , 2 g / m 2 , 2.1 g / m 2 , 2.2 g / m 2 , 2.3 g / m 2 , 2.4 g / m 2 , 2.5 g / m 2 , 2.6 g / m 2 , 2.7 g / m 2 , 2.8 g / m 2 , 2.9 g / m 2 , 3 g / m 2 , 3.1 g / m 2 , 3.2 g / m 2 , 3.3 g / m 2 , 3.4 g / m 2 , 3.5 g / m 2 , 3.6 g / m 2 , 3.7 g / m 2 , 3.8 g / m 2 , 3.9 g / m 2 , 4 g / m 2 [[ID=五十]], or it may be a range combined with any two of the above numerical values, but is not limited thereto. For example, the range of the areal density of the organic coating is 1.6 g / m 2 ~3.8 g / m 2 , 1.8 g / m 2 ~2.5 g / m 2 , 2 g / m 2 ~2.3 g / m 2 may also be.
[0077] In some embodiments of this application, the organic coating further contains an adhesive, and the mass ratio of the adhesive to the organic particles is (1-5):(10-90) based on the mass of the organic coating. The addition of the adhesive increases the viscosity of the organic coating, further strengthens the bonding force between the organic coating and the positive electrode sheet, negative electrode sheet, and separator, and reduces peeling of the organic coating. Furthermore, when the mass ratio of the adhesive to the organic particles satisfies the above relationship, the organic coating can react with the dendrites to reduce them while maintaining good viscosity, thereby further improving the safety performance of the battery.
[0078] In some embodiments of this application, the mass content of the adhesive in the organic coating is 1% to 5%.

[0080] In some embodiments of this application, the mass content of organic particles in the organic coating is 80% to 90%. By setting the mass content of organic particles in the organic coating to the above range, the organic coating reacts with more elemental metals, further reducing the possibility of the positive and negative electrodes being electrically connected by dendrites, thereby more effectively improving the safety performance of the battery.

Examples 2-10
[0128] The manufacturing method is similar to that of Example 1, with the difference being the components of the organic coating and their content. Comparative Example 1
[0129] The manufacturing method is similar to that of Example 1, the only difference being that the electrode assembly does not include an organic coating. Examples 11-18
[0130] The manufacturing method is similar to that of Example 1, with the differences being the thickness and surface density of the organic coating. Test section (1) Gas generation rate test
[0131] The test method is: The steps include: baking an assembled battery, injecting electrolyte, sealing the battery's electrolyte injection port, activating it at room temperature, and then welding metal bands to the positive and negative electrode sheets of the battery to obtain an activated battery, wherein the battery's electrolyte injection port is sealed with masking tape made of OPP beige tape, an aluminum band is welded to the positive electrode sheet using an ultrasonic welding machine, and a nickel band is welded to the negative electrode sheet using an internal resistance electric welding machine. The step involves fixing the activated battery to a jig and connecting the metal bands of the positive electrode sheet and negative electrode sheet to the positive and negative electrodes of the charging and discharging equipment with leads, the leads being 2.5 mm 2 It is a copper wire, with an alligator clip welded to one end connected to a metal band, the charge / discharge equipment is a lithium battery chemical formation test cabinet, the charge / discharge equipment is installed in a drying plant with a dew point of 5°C or less, humidity of 20%RH or less, and a temperature of 28°C or less, The steps include turning on the power, pre-charging the activated battery, recording the time and the value of the numerical pressure gauge when the explosion-proof valve ruptures before and during charging, The process includes the steps of calculating the time t and pressure P required for the explosion-proof valve to rupture based on the numerical values of a numerical pressure gauge recorded before and after charging, calculating the gas volume V based on PV=nRT, and further calculating the gas generation rate based on V / t, wherein the threshold for the explosion-proof valve to rupture is 0.65 MPa.
[0132] Table 1 shows the relevant parameters and test results for the organic coatings in Examples 1-10 and Comparative Example 1, respectively.
[0133] [Table 1]
[0134] According to Table 1, a comparison of the test structures of Examples 1-10 and Comparative Example 1 shows that in the electrode assembly according to this application, an organic coating is provided on the side of the positive electrode sheet facing the separator and / or on one side of the separator. The organic coating contains organic particles that react with dendrites containing elemental metals. Therefore, when the battery is in use, dendrites containing elemental metals may be generated inside the battery. When these dendrites grow to a certain extent, they come into contact with the organic particles in the organic coating and react, generating gas. This reduces the probability of a short circuit occurring inside the battery due to the electrical connection between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, and also increases the pressure inside the battery, causing it to break the explosion-proof valve and release the pressure. As a result, the risk of the battery exploding is reduced, and the safety performance of the battery can be improved.
[0135] Table 2 shows the relevant parameters and test results for the organic coatings in Examples 11 to 18, respectively.
[0136] [Table 2]
[0137] Table 2 shows that when the thickness and surface density of the organic coating are within appropriate ranges, the rate of gas generation due to the reaction between the dendrites and the organic particles contained in the organic coating can be increased. This reduces the probability of internal short circuits occurring due to electrical connection between the positive and negative electrode sheets, and also reduces the risk of the battery exploding because the internal pressure rises quickly, rupturing the battery's explosion-proof valve and releasing the pressure. Thus, the safety performance of the battery can be improved.
