Description

Battery electrode, battery and power-consuming device

[0001] This application is based on the Chinese invention application with application number 202410025462.2 filed on January 8, 2024, entitled “A battery electrode, a battery and an electrical device”, and claims priority. Technical Field

[0002] The present application relates to the field of battery technology, and in particular to a battery electrode, a battery, and an electrical device. Background Art

[0003] As shown in Figures 1-2, the prior art requires that the thickness of the insulating layer on both sides of the electrode must be greater than the thickness of the bottom coating on the same side. However, when this electrode structure design is used to coat the active material layer on an extrusion coating device, the extrusion coating device controls the surface density of the active material layer by applying the slurry liquid at a certain pressure and a certain flow rate Q along the coating die outlet gap and the gap d between the coating die and the substrate. When the active material layer is coated on the side close to the coating die outlet, the thickness of the insulating layer on the side away from the coating die outlet is greater than the thickness of the bottom coating layer, resulting in a smaller coating weight of the active material layer in the area opposite to the insulating layer, causing low battery capacity and low energy density. At the same time, since the thickness of the insulating layer on the side away from the coating die outlet is greater than the thickness of the bottom coating layer, the rolling pressure in this area is relatively large, resulting in an excessively large compaction density of the active material layer in this area, affecting the insertion and extraction of lithium ions during charging and discharging, causing lithium plating problems in the battery, and also causing brittle fracture of the electrode. Therefore, how to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems and defects has become a key issue that needs to be solved.

They do not indicate or imply that the devices or components referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application. In the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0026] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the term "connection" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean internal communication between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood by those skilled in the art in specific circumstances.

[0027] As shown in Figures 3-4, in one embodiment, the present application provides a battery electrode sheet on one hand, including: a current collector 1, a first primer layer 3, a first insulating layer 2, a first active material layer 4 and a second active material layer 7; the first primer layer 3 and the first insulating layer 2 are arranged side by side on one side of the current collector 1, the edge of the first primer layer 3 and the edge of the first insulating layer 2 are abutted, the area of ​​the first insulating layer 2 at the abutting position is a thinning area 23, the thickness of the thinning area 23 is less than the average thickness of the first insulating layer 2 at the non-abutting position, the thickness of the thinning area 23 of the first insulating layer 2 is flush with the thickness of the first primer layer 3, the first active material layer 4 is arranged on the side of the first primer layer 3 away from the current collector 1, the second active material layer 7 is arranged on the other side of the current collector 1, and the projection of the second active material layer 7 on the current collector 1 covers the thinning area 23 and the projection of the first primer layer 3 on the current collector 1.

[0028] Specifically, when the battery electrode of the present application is coated with the second active material layer 7 on the extrusion coating equipment, one side of the battery electrode of the present application is close to the coating die 8, and the other side of the battery electrode of the present application is close to the coating roller. The extrusion coating equipment is to control the surface density of the second active material layer 7 by passing the slurry liquid along the outlet gap of the coating die 8 and the gap d between the coating die 8 and the substrate under a certain pressure and a certain flow rate Q. The thickness of the thinning area 23 of the first insulating layer 2 of the present application is flush with the thickness of the first primer layer 3, resulting in a moderate coating weight of the first active material layer 4 on the other side of the battery electrode. Therefore, it will not cause the problem of low battery capacity. At the same time, since the thickness of the thinning area 23 of the first insulating layer 2 is equal to the thickness of the first primer layer 3, the rolling pressure in this area is moderate, and the compaction density of the second active material layer 7 in this area is moderate, which will not affect the insertion and extraction of lithium ions during charging and discharging, will not cause lithium plating problems in the battery, and will not cause brittle fracture of the electrode.

[0029] As shown in Figures 3-4, in one embodiment, a second primer layer 6 and a second insulating layer 5 are provided side by side on the other side of the current collector 1, the edge of the second primer layer 6 and the edge of the second insulating layer 5 abut against each other, and the thickness of the second insulating layer 5 at the abutting position is greater than the thickness of the second primer layer 6.

[0030] The thickness of the second insulating layer 5 is greater than that of the second primer layer 6. The second insulating layer 5 provides an ion diffusion path but insulates electrons, does not affect the active material capacity of the area coated with the second active material layer 7, avoids battery short circuit, and improves the battery energy density while reducing the lithium ion transmission resistance during charging and discharging, and reduces the risk of lithium plating in the electrode area.

[0031] As shown in FIG3-4 , in one embodiment, the second active material layer 7 is disposed on a surface of the second primer layer 6 away from the current collector 1 , and the second active material layer 7 is not in contact with the second insulating layer 5 .

[0032] Specifically, since the second active material layer 7 covers the surface of the second primer layer 6, the second primer layer 6 is difficult to fall off even under a highly destructive external force such as nail penetration or impact, so that the current collector 1 will not leak, making its electrode assembly safer.

[0033] Furthermore, the second active material layer 7 does not contact the second insulating layer 5, avoiding overlapping with the second insulating layer 5, thereby causing the thickness of the tenth end 52 of the second insulating layer 5 on the other side of the current collector 1 to be too thick, resulting in the coating weight of the second active material layer 7 on the other side of the current collector 1 being too small, causing the battery capacity to be low.

[0034] As shown in Figures 3-4, in one embodiment, in the length direction of the current collector 1, the current collector 1 includes a first end 11 and a second end 12, the first insulating layer 2 extends from the first end 11 of the current collector 1 to a position of the current collector 1 close to the second end 12, and the first primer layer 3 is located at the second end 12 of the current collector 1; the second insulating layer 5 is located at the first end of the current collector 1, and the second primer layer 6 extends from the second end of the current collector 1 to a position of the current collector 1 close to the first end.

[0035] Specifically, the first insulating layer 2 is located at the first end 11 of the current collector 1, and the first primer layer 3 is located at the second end 12 of the current collector 1. The thinning area 23 of the first insulating layer 2 is abutted against the end of the first primer layer 3. The thickness of the thinning area 23 of the first insulating layer 2 of the present application is equal to the thickness of the first primer layer 3, resulting in a moderate coating weight of the first active material layer 4 on the other side of the battery electrode. Therefore, it will not cause the problem of low battery capacity; and the first insulating layer 2 and the first primer layer 3 completely cover the surface of the electrode, and there is no gap in the length direction of the electrode, so that the current collector 1 is not easily exposed when it is impacted or punctured by external force.

[0036] As shown in Figures 3-4, in one embodiment, in the length direction of the current collector 1, the first insulating layer 2 includes a third end 21 and a fourth end 22, the first primer layer 3 includes a fifth end 31 and a sixth end 32, and the fourth end 22 of the first insulating layer 2 is provided with a thinning area 23, and the thinning area 23 and the fifth end 31 of the first primer layer 3 abut each other.

[0037] Specifically, the fourth end 22 of the first insulating layer 2 is provided with a thinning area 23, and the thinning area 23 and the fifth end 31 of the first primer layer 3 abut each other. The thickness of the thinning area 23 of the first insulating layer 2 of the present application is equal to the thickness of the first primer layer 3, resulting in a moderate coating weight of the first active material layer 4 on the other side of the battery electrode, and therefore will not cause the problem of low battery capacity; and, the first insulating layer 2 and the first primer layer 3 completely cover the surface of the electrode, and there is no gap in the length direction of the electrode, so the collector 1 is better insulated and isolated, and therefore has higher safety performance.

[0038] Furthermore, the length of the thinning zone 23 depends on the width and thickness of the battery. When the width of the battery is narrower and / or the thickness of the battery is thinner, the length of the thinning zone 23 is shorter; conversely, when the width of the battery is longer and / or the thickness of the battery is thicker, the length of the thinning zone 23 is longer.

[0039] As shown in Figures 3-4, in one embodiment, in the thickness direction of the pole piece, the thickness of the third end 21 of the first insulating layer 2 is Ta, and the thickness range of Ta is 3 to 15um; the thickness of the thinning area 23 of the fourth end 22 of the first insulating layer 2 is Tb, and the thickness range of Tb is 2 to 10um, the thickness of the first primer layer 3 is Tc, and the thickness range of Tc is 2 to 10um; the thickness of the second insulating layer 5 is Td, and the thickness range of Td is 3 to 15um, the thickness of the second primer layer 6 is Te, and the thickness range of Te is 2 to 10um.

[0049] In some embodiments, the distance between the edge of the seventh end 41 of the first active material layer 4 in the longitudinal direction of the current collector 1 and the edge of the fourth end 22 of the first insulating layer 2 in the longitudinal direction of the current collector 1 is greater than or equal to 0 mm. That is, the length of the gap between the first active material layer 4 and the first insulating layer 2 in the longitudinal direction of the current collector 1 is greater than or equal to 0 mm.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment, the length of the gap between the first active material layer 4 and the first insulating layer 2 in the length direction of the electrode is 2 mm; for example, a range consisting of any two of 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm, 3.0 mm, 3.5 mm, 4.0 mm, 4.5 mm or 5 mm.

[0051] In some embodiments, the distance between the edge of the eleventh end 71 of the second active material layer 7 in the longitudinal direction of the current collector 1 and the edge of the tenth end 52 of the second insulating layer 5 in the longitudinal direction of the current collector 1 is greater than or equal to 0 mm.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment, the length of the gap between the second active material layer 7 and the second insulating layer 5 in the length direction of the pole piece is 2 mm; for example, a range consisting of any two of 0.5 mm, 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm, 3.0 mm, 3.5 mm, 4.0 mm, 4.5 mm or 5 mm.

[0053] As shown in FIG5 , in one embodiment, the present application provides a battery on the other hand, including an electrolyte, a separator 11 and the above-mentioned electrode sheets, wherein the electrode sheets include a positive electrode sheet 9 and / or a negative electrode sheet 10 .

[0054] Specifically, the positive electrode sheet 9 includes a positive electrode current collector 91, a positive electrode primer layer 93, a positive electrode insulating layer 92 and a positive electrode active material layer 94, wherein the positive electrode primer layer 93 includes a first positive electrode primer layer 931 and a second positive electrode primer layer 932, the positive electrode insulating layer 92 includes a first positive electrode insulating layer 921 and a second positive electrode insulating layer 922, and the positive electrode active material layer 94 includes a first positive electrode active material layer 941 and a second positive electrode active material layer 942.

[0055] The first positive electrode primer layer 931 and the first positive electrode insulating layer 921 are arranged side by side on one side of the positive electrode current collector 91, and the edge of the first positive electrode primer layer 931 and the edge of the first positive electrode insulating layer 921 are abutted. The area of ​​the first positive electrode insulating layer 921 at the abutting position is a first thinning area 923, and the thickness of the first thinning area 923 is less than the average thickness of the first positive electrode insulating layer 921 at the non-abutting position. The thickness of the first thinning area 923 of the first positive electrode insulating layer 921 is equal to the thickness of the first positive electrode primer layer 931; the first positive active material layer 941 is arranged on the surface of the first positive electrode primer layer 931 away from the positive electrode current collector 91, and the first positive active material layer 941 does not contact the first positive electrode insulating layer 921.

[0057] Specifically, the positive electrode current collector 91 may be aluminum foil or nickel foil. Furthermore, other positive electrode current collectors 91 commonly used in the art may be used.

[0058] Specifically, the positive electrode undercoat layer 93 includes: a first positive electrode active material, a first conductive agent, a first insulating inorganic filler and a first binder, wherein the first positive electrode active material includes one or more of lithium iron phosphate, lithium manganese iron phosphate, sodium iron phosphate, lithium vanadium phosphate, sodium vanadium phosphate, lithium vanadium oxyphosphate, sodium vanadium oxyphosphate, lithium vanadate, and lithium manganate; the first conductive agent includes one or more of carbon nanotubes, conductive carbon black, acetylene black, graphene, Ketjen black, and carbon fiber; the first insulating inorganic filler includes one or more of alumina ceramics, boehmite, magnesium oxide, and magnesium hydroxide; the first binder includes one or more of polyvinylidene fluoride, vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer, polyamide, polyacrylonitrile, polyacrylate, polyacrylic acid, polyacrylic acid copolymer, polyacrylate, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyvinyl ether, polymethyl methacrylate, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyhexafluoropropylene, styrene-butadiene rubber, and the like.

Magnesium oxide is also an insulating material, and has a high thermal expansion coefficient and high thermal conductivity. As the temperature rises, the expansion coefficient increases.
