Battery cells, batteries, housing components and electrical equipment

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This disclosure claims priority to Chinese patent application number 202311811237.3, filed on December 26, 2023, entitled “Battery Cell, Battery, Housing Assembly and Electrical Equipment,” the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this disclosure. Technical Field

[0003] The present disclosure relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a battery cell, a battery, a housing assembly, and an electrical device. Background Art

[0004] With the continuous advancement of technology, batteries, as core components for energy storage and output, are becoming increasingly important for the operation of the entire system. Among various battery systems, lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), whose negative electrodes consist of lithium metal or silicon materials, have attracted widespread attention due to their high energy density and long lifespan.

[0005] However, the volume expansion rate of lithium metal and silicon-based materials is relatively high. During the battery cycle, the high volume expansion causes changes in the volume of the battery cells, which can cause uneven force on the battery cells, rapid life degradation, and battery bulging. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present disclosure aims to solve one of the technical problems in the related art at least to a certain extent.

[0007] To this end, one objective of the present disclosure is to provide a battery cell.

[0008] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a battery having the above-mentioned battery cell.

[0009] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a housing assembly for the above-mentioned battery cell.

[0010] Another object of the present disclosure is to provide an electrical device having the battery.

[0011] According to the present disclosure, the battery cell includes: a battery cell body, the battery cell body having a first side wall in the thickness direction, and n through holes are provided on the first side wall; wherein the area of ​​the first side wall is S0, the cross-sectional area of ​​the through hole is S, and it satisfies: n*S≤(1-p)*S0, 80%≤p≤99.8%, and n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0012] According to the battery cell disclosed herein, by providing a through hole on the first sidewall of the battery cell body, stress concentration during cycling can be reduced, stress distribution uniformity can be improved, deformation of the first sidewall can be suppressed, and thus the expansion of the battery cell can be reduced, extending the cycle life and stability of the battery. The first sidewall can have one through hole or multiple through holes. The provision of multiple through holes can more effectively suppress deformation of the first sidewall, further reducing the risk of battery cell expansion. S represents the cross-sectional area of ​​through hole 1112, representing the area of ​​the cross section of through hole 1112 cut perpendicular to the axis, and also represents the area of ​​the intersection of through hole 1112 and the surface of first sidewall 1111. n*S represents the total cross-sectional area of ​​the through holes. The relationship between n*S and the area S0 of the first sidewall indicates that the total cross-sectional area of ​​the through holes does not exceed the (1-p) portion of the area of ​​the first sidewall. The parameter p is a value between 80% and 99.8% and represents the ratio of the effective area (S0 - n*S) of the first sidewall 1111 to the area S0. The parameter (1-p) represents the proportion of the total cross-sectional area of ​​the through-hole to the area of ​​the first side wall. By limiting the parameter p to between 80% and 99.8%, the volume expansion of the battery cell can be effectively suppressed, and the energy density loss caused by the provision of the through-hole can be minimized, thereby ensuring the energy density of the battery cell. In particular, the area of ​​the first side wall can be larger than the area of ​​other surfaces of the battery cell body, and the first side wall will be more easily deformed during the cycle of the battery cell, causing the battery cell to expand. By providing a through-hole on the first side wall, the deformation of the first side wall can be suppressed, thereby more effectively reducing the risk of battery cell expansion.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0046] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present disclosure, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting the present disclosure.

[0047] In related technologies, electrochemical systems with high volume expansion often face problems such as uneven stress on the cells, rapid life degradation, and battery bulging due to changes in the cell volume during the cycle process.

[0048] The battery cell 11 according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described below with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 6 .

[0049] According to the present disclosure, the battery cell 11 includes a battery cell body 111, which has a first side wall 1111 in the thickness direction, and n through holes 1112 are provided on the first side wall 1111; wherein the area of ​​the first side wall 1111 is S0, the cross-sectional area of ​​the through hole 1112 is S, and satisfies: n*S≤(1-p)*S0, 80%≤p≤99.8%, and n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 1.

[0050] As shown in Figures 1 to 6, the battery cell 11 disclosed herein, by providing a through hole 1112 on the first side wall 1111 of the battery cell body 111, can reduce the stress concentration of the battery cell 11 during the cycle process, improve the uniformity of stress distribution, and suppress the deformation of the first side wall 1111, thereby reducing the expansion of the battery cell 11 and extending the cycle life and stability of the battery 1. There can be one through hole 1112 on the first side wall 1111, or there can be multiple through holes 1112 on the first side wall 1111. The provision of multiple through holes 1112 can more effectively suppress the deformation of the first side wall 1111 and further reduce the risk of expansion of the battery cell 11. S represents the cross-sectional area of ​​the through hole 1112, which represents the area of ​​the cross section cut out by the through hole 1112 in a direction perpendicular to the axis, and also represents the area of ​​the intersection produced by the intersection of the through hole 1112 and the surface of the first side wall 1111. n*S represents the total cross-sectional area of ​​the through-hole 1112. The relationship between n*S and the area S0 of the first side wall 1111 indicates that the total cross-sectional area of ​​the through-hole 1112 does not exceed the (1-p) portion of the area of ​​the first side wall 1111. The parameter p is a value between 80% and 99.8%, representing the ratio of the effective area (S0-n*S) of the first side wall 1111 to the area S0. The parameter (1-p) represents the ratio of the area of ​​the through-hole 1112 to the area of ​​the first side wall 1111. By limiting the parameter p to between 80% and 99.8%, the volume expansion of the battery cell 11 can be effectively suppressed, and the energy density loss caused by the provision of the through-hole 1112 can be minimized, thereby ensuring the energy density of the battery cell 11.

[0051] In particular, the area of ​​the first sidewall 1111 can be larger than the area of ​​other surfaces of the battery cell body 111. The first sidewall 1111 is more likely to deform during the cycle of the battery cell 11, causing the battery cell 11 to expand. By providing the through hole 1112 on the first sidewall 1111, the deformation of the first sidewall 1111 can be suppressed, thereby more effectively reducing the risk of battery cell 11 expansion.

[0052] Therefore, the battery cell 11 disclosed herein can suppress the volume expansion of the battery cell 11 by setting a through hole 1112 on the first side wall 1111 of the battery cell body 111, and the performance and life of the battery cell 11 will be significantly improved. By limiting the parameter p between 80% and 99.8%, the energy density of the battery cell 11 can be guaranteed.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the first side walls 1111 are two spaced apart and facing each other in the thickness direction of the battery cell body 111, and at least one of the first side walls 111 is provided with a through hole 1112. The battery cell body 111 has two facing first side walls 1111, and the two first side walls 1111 are spaced apart from each other in the thickness direction of the battery cell body 111, so that the battery cell body 111 has good stability and structural strength, which helps to ensure the stability and safety of the battery cell 11. The through hole 1112 is provided on one of the two first side walls 111, or the through hole 1112 is provided on both first side walls 111. When the through hole 1112 is provided on one of the two first side walls 111, the first side wall 111 provided with the through hole 1112 will be more difficult to deform, which can enhance the stability and safety of the battery 11. When through holes 1112 are provided on both first side walls 111, both first side walls 111 of the battery cell body 111 are difficult to deform, so the battery cell body 111 is difficult to expand in the thickness direction, and the overall stability is good. In addition, the through holes 1112 of the two first side walls 111 can be connected to each other, so that the stress distribution inside the battery cell body 111 is uniform, further enhancing the stability and safety of the battery cell 11.

[0054] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, two first side walls 1111 are spaced apart and face each other in the thickness direction of the battery cell body 111. A through hole 1112 is provided on each of the two first side walls 111, and the through holes 1112 are positioned correspondingly to form a through hole. Since both first side walls 111 of the battery cell body 111 are difficult to deform, the battery cell body 111 is unlikely to expand in the thickness direction, resulting in good overall stability. Furthermore, the through holes 1112 in each of the two first side walls 111 can communicate with each other, resulting in a uniform stress distribution within the battery cell body 111. This further enhances the stability and safety of the battery cell 111 and facilitates processing.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the battery cell body 111 is formed by stacking a positive electrode sheet and a negative electrode sheet; a first through-hole is formed in the positive electrode sheet of the through-hole 1112, and the cross-sectional area of the first through-hole is S1; a second through-hole is formed in the negative electrode sheet of the through-hole 1112, and the cross-sectional area of the second through-hole is S2; wherein the first through-hole and the second through-hole are arranged opposite to each other and satisfy S2≤S1. The positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet are responsible for storing and releasing charges. By stacking the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet together, ion transport and charge exchange can be achieved between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, thereby completing the charge and discharge process of the battery 1. A first through-hole is provided on the positive electrode sheet, and a second through-hole is provided on the negative electrode sheet. By arranging the first through-hole and the second through-hole opposite to each other, that is, the central axis of the first through-hole and the central axis of the second through-hole are on the same straight line, the first through-hole and the second through-hole can be connected to form the through-hole 1112 on the first side wall 1111. Specifically, the positive electrode sheet, the separator, and the negative electrode sheet are alternately stacked to form the battery cell body 1, and on both sides of the battery cell body 111 in the thickness direction are a positive electrode sheet (or a negative electrode sheet) and a negative electrode sheet respectively. Therefore, the battery cell body 111 has two first side walls 1111 that are spaced apart from each other and opposite to each other in the thickness direction. One first side wall 1111 is the side wall of the positive electrode sheet (or the negative electrode sheet) and forms a first through-hole, and the other first side wall 1111 is the side wall of the negative electrode sheet and forms a second through-hole. The first through-hole and the second through-hole are arranged opposite to each other and connected, so that the battery cell body 111 has a through-hole 1112 that penetrates in the thickness direction, and the two ends of the through-hole 1112 are respectively opened on the two first side walls 1111 of the battery cell body 111. The cross-sectional area S of the first through-hole is not less than the cross-sectional area S2 of the second through-hole, that is, in the through direction of the through-hole 1112, the first through-hole can completely cover the second through-hole. Generally speaking, the area of the negative electrode sheet is larger than the area of the positive electrode sheet. Therefore, the remaining area of the negative electrode sheet (equivalent to the area of the negative electrode sheet minus the cross-sectional area of the second through-hole) is larger than the remaining area of the positive electrode sheet (equivalent to the area of the positive electrode sheet minus the cross-sectional area of the first through-hole), which can increase the storage space of ions on the negative electrode sheet, effectively inhibit the crystallization and precipitation of ions on the negative electrode sheet, and improve the safety and stability of the battery In addition, since the electrochemical reaction of the negative electrode is more complex and more vulnerable to damage than the positive electrode, by increasing the remaining area of the negative electrode sheet, the current density can be dispersed and the service life of the battery 1 can be extended.

[0056] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the positive and negative electrode materials of the battery cell 11 may include, but are not limited to, lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), lithium manganate (LiMn2O4), lithium cobaltate (LiCoO2), lithium manganese iron phosphate (LiMn x Fe 1-x PO4, 0<x<1), lithium nickel cobalt manganate (LiNi x Co y Mn1-x-y O 2, 0≤x≤1, 0≤x≤1, 0≤x+y≤1), lithium nickel cobalt aluminum oxide (LiNi x Co y Al 1-x-y O 2, One or more of the positive electrode materials such as 0≤x≤1, 0≤x≤1, 0≤x+y≤1) and lithium sulfide (Li2S), and one or more of the negative electrode materials such as graphite, silicon, silicon-oxygen, silicon carbon and metallic lithium. In addition, the negative electrode can also be a metal foil current collector that initially does not contain negative electrode active material. In this case, the lithium source comes from the positive electrode active material.

[0057] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the cross-sectional area S1 of the first through hole and the cross-sectional area of ​​the second through hole satisfy: 0.8≤S2 / S1≤1, which can ensure that the negative electrode plate can completely cover the positive electrode plate without abnormal charging and discharging or short circuit, while also maximizing the capacity of the positive electrode active material. The ratio of the cross-sectional area S2 of the second through hole to the cross-sectional area S1 of the first through hole is in the range of 0.8 to 1, that is, the cross-sectional area S2 of the second through hole is equal to the cross-sectional area S1 of the first through hole, or the cross-sectional area S2 of the second through hole is slightly smaller than the cross-sectional area S1 of the first through hole. When the first through hole and the second through hole are connected, it will be smoother, which facilitates the manufacturing process of the battery cell 11. In addition, the cross-sectional change between the first through hole and the second through hole is smoother without obvious mutations, and the stress distribution inside the battery cell 11 will be more uniform, thereby improving the safety and stability of the battery cell 11.

[0058] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the battery cell body 111 is provided with a diaphragm located between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, and a third through hole 1112 is formed on the diaphragm. The third through hole is respectively arranged opposite to the first through hole and the second through hole, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the third through hole is S3 and satisfies: S3≤S2≤S1. By providing a diaphragm between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, the diaphragm can separate the positive electrode sheet from the negative electrode sheet, and the positive electrode sheet is difficult to directly contact the negative electrode sheet, thereby preventing the risk of short circuit. By arranging the third through hole on the diaphragm opposite to the first through hole and the second through hole, that is, the central axis of the first through hole, the central axis of the second through hole and the central axis of the third through hole are all on a straight line, the third connecting hole connects the first through hole with the second connecting hole to form the through hole 1112 on the first side wall 1111. After the positive electrode sheet, the diaphragm and the negative electrode sheet are stacked, the electrode core is obtained, and then the diaphragm is opened on the electrode core to obtain a battery cell body 111 with a through hole 1112. By setting the cross-sectional area of ​​the third through hole to be less than or equal to the cross-sectional area of ​​the second through hole (i.e., S3≤S2), the diaphragm in the electrode core can be easily opened at the second through hole position of the negative electrode sheet, thereby reducing the processing difficulty.

[0059] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, the cross-sectional shape of the through hole 1112 is configured as a circle or a polygon. The cross-sectional shapes of the through holes 1112 shown in Figures 1 to 6 are all circular. The through hole 1112 with a circular cross-sectional shape can provide a uniform diameter of the through hole 1112. The through hole 1112 with a polygonal cross-sectional shape can provide cross-sections of different shapes, such as rectangles, triangles or other polygons. By configuring the cross-sectional shape of the through hole 1112 to be circular or polygonal, the stress concentration of the battery cell 11 can be effectively reduced, the structural stability and service life of the battery cell 11 can be improved, and the processing technology of the through hole 1112 can be simplified, the manufacturing process of the battery cell 11 can be facilitated, and the production efficiency can be improved. At the same time, it can adapt to different design and manufacturing requirements of the battery cell 11, and improve the manufacturing flexibility and applicability of the battery cell 11.

[0060] According to some embodiments of the present disclosure, as shown in Figures 3 to 6, the through holes 1112 are configured as a plurality of through holes 1112 arranged at intervals on the first side wall 1111. The plurality of through holes 1112 are arranged on the first side wall 1111 in multiple rows and columns or in a single row or column. There are four through holes 1112 on the first side wall 1111 shown in Figures 3 and 4, and there are six through holes 1112 on the first side wall 1111 shown in Figures 5 and 6. By configuring the through holes 1112 as a plurality of through holes 1112 arranged at intervals on the first side wall 1111, the stress concentration of the battery cell 11 during the cycle process can be further reduced, the uniformity of the stress distribution can be improved, and the expansion of the battery cell 11 can be further reduced, thereby extending the cycle life and stability of the battery 1. When the number of arranged through holes 1112 is small, the multiple through holes 1112 can be arranged in a single row or a single column on the first side wall 1111, and the arrangement is simple, which reduces the manufacturing difficulty; when the number of arranged through holes 1112 is large, the multiple through holes 1112 can be arranged in multiple rows and columns on the first side wall 1112. By arranging the multiple through holes 1112 in multiple rows and columns on the first side wall 1111, the multiple rows and columns arrangement refers to arranging the through holes 1112 in the longitudinal and transverse directions to form multiple rows and columns. The multiple through holes 1112 can be evenly distributed on the first side wall 1111, further improving the uniformity of stress distribution, more effectively suppressing the deformation of the first side wall 1111, and further reducing the risk of expansion of the battery cell 11.

[0061] It should be noted here that the through holes 1112 are arranged in a single row and a single column. When the through holes are arranged in a single row, it can be understood that multiple through holes are arranged in sequence in the width direction of the battery cell body 111. When the through holes are arranged in a single column, they are arranged in sequence in the length direction of the battery cell body 111.

[0062] The battery 1 according to the present disclosure will be described below with reference to FIG. 7 to FIG. 11 .

[0063] According to the present disclosure, the battery 1 includes a shell 12 and a battery cell 11. A housing cavity suitable for accommodating the battery cell 11 is formed in the shell 12. The battery cell 11 is constructed as the battery cell 11 in any of the above-mentioned embodiments, and the battery cell 11 is accommodated in the housing cavity. The housing cavity is a part of the interior of the shell 12. The size and shape of the housing cavity match the battery cell 11, so that the battery cell 11 can be accommodated in the housing cavity. By accommodating the battery cell 11 in the housing cavity, the shell 12 can protect the battery cell 11 in the housing cavity, and the shell 12 can isolate the battery cell 11 from the external environment, providing a stable working environment for the battery cell 11, reducing the loss of substances inside the battery 1, and improving the reliability and stability of the battery 1.

No connecting protrusions are provided in the accommodating cavity of the shell. Other process steps remain consistent, and the resulting unfilled battery is DS1.

[0099] Test methods and results:

[0100] The battery 1 obtained in the embodiment of the present disclosure and the control experiment was subjected to an electrochemical cycle test to evaluate the cycle performance of the battery 1 .

[0101] The test conditions are as follows: the electrolyte is 1 wt% LiNO3 dissolved in ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DME) containing 4 M / L-LiFSI, and the test temperature is 25°C.

[0102] The test steps are as follows:

[0103] Energy density test: Battery 1 was subjected to a charge-discharge cycle test at a 0.2C rate. The test steps included resting the battery for 10 minutes, then charging it at a constant current of 0.2C to 4.3V, then charging it at a constant voltage of 4.3V / 0.05C to a cutoff, resting it for another 10 minutes, and finally discharging it at 0.5C to 3.0V. The resulting capacity was the actual discharge capacity of the battery. Battery volumetric energy density = actual discharge capacity * average discharge voltage / battery volume, as shown in Table 1.

[0104] Cycle: The battery was charged and discharged at a rate of 0.2C. The steps included setting the battery aside for 10 minutes, then charging battery 1 at a constant current of 0.2C to 4.3V, then charging it at a constant voltage to 4.3V / 0.05C cut-off, setting the battery aside for another 10 minutes, and finally discharging battery 1 at 0.5C to 3.6V to complete one cycle.

[0105] Repeat the above steps until the capacity of Battery 1 falls below 80% of its initial discharge capacity. The number of cycles is the cycle life of Battery 1. Two batteries were used in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, and specific experimental data is shown in Figure 12, which compares the battery cycle performance data for Example 1 and Comparative Example 1. Capacity retention refers to the ratio of the actual capacity to the initial capacity of a battery during use, reflecting the degree of performance degradation during use. Cycle life refers to the number of times a battery can maintain normal operation after multiple charge and discharge cycles.

[0106] As shown in Figure 12, after the battery of Example 1 and the battery of Comparative Example 1 have each been cycled a certain number of times, the capacity retention rate of Example 1 is greater than that of Comparative Example 1, indicating that the battery of Example 1 experiences less performance degradation during use than the battery of Comparative Example 1, and has better battery stability and service life. Furthermore, the battery of Comparative Example 1 maintains a capacity retention rate of over 95% for approximately 50 cycles, while the battery of Example 1 maintains a capacity retention rate of over 95% for approximately 200 cycles, indicating that the battery of Example 1 has a significantly improved cycle life compared to the battery of Comparative Example 1. Furthermore, Figure 12 also shows that the capacity retention rate of the battery of Comparative Example 1 begins to decline rapidly after approximately 50 cycles, while the capacity retention rate of the battery of Example 1 begins to decline significantly after approximately 200 cycles, further demonstrating the superiority of the battery of Example 1 in cycle life.

[0107] The thickness of the shell corresponding to the large surface of the battery before and after the cycle was measured using a thickness gauge, and the thickness change rate of the shell 12 of the battery 1 before and after the cycle was calculated, as shown in Table 1. Table 1 is a comparison table of the cycle performance data of each battery in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-3.

[0108] From the comparison of the battery cycle performance data of batteries S1-S4 of Examples 1-4 and batteries DS1-DS3 of Comparative Examples 1-3, it can be seen that batteries S1-S4 are provided with through holes 1112, which greatly improves the cycle life of battery S1 and significantly reduces the battery thickness change rate, indicating that the setting of through holes 1112 has a positive impact on the performance and stability of the battery, extends the cycle life of the battery, and the battery thickness change rate is reduced, which means that the expansion of the battery during the charge and discharge process is better controlled, further improving the stability of the battery.

[0109] Table 1

[0110] It can be concluded that the battery 1 (S1, S2, S3 and S4) obtained using the embodiment of the present disclosure has higher comprehensive performance in cycle life, volume energy density and battery volume expansion than the batteries (DS1, DS2 and DS3) obtained in the control experiment, indicating that the structure of battery 1 is more stable and the energy density of the battery is within an appropriate range.
