The battery cell assembly can include a plurality of secondary battery cells connected in series, in parallel or in a mixed manner through a busbar component.

[0073] In some embodiments, the battery cell assembly is usually formed by arranging a plurality of secondary battery cells.

[0074] As an example, the battery cell assembly can be a battery module, which is formed by arranging and fixing a plurality of secondary battery cells.

[0075] In some embodiments, the battery device can be a battery pack, which includes a case and one or more battery cell assemblies, the battery cell assemblies being accommodated in the case.

The first case and the second case are fastened so that an enclosed space is formed inside the case to accommodate the battery cell assembly. Here, the enclosed means covered or closed, which can be sealed or unsealed. The first case can be a top cover or a bottom plate.

[0079] As an example, the case can include a top cover, a frame, and a bottom plate. The top cover and the bottom plate are connected to the frame, respectively, so that an enclosed space is formed inside the case to accommodate the battery cell assembly.

[0080] In some embodiments, the case can be part of a chassis structure of a vehicle. For example, part of the case can be at least part of a floor of the vehicle, or part of the case can be at least part of a cross beam and a longitudinal beam of the vehicle.

[0081] The technical solutions described in the embodiments of the present disclosure are applicable to various electric devices using secondary battery cells and battery devices, such as mobile devices (e.g., mobile phones, tablet computers, notebook computers, etc.), electric vehicles (e.g., pure electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles, electric bicycles, electric scooters, electric golf carts, electric trucks, etc.), electric trains, ships and satellites, energy storage systems, etc. The secondary battery cells and the battery devices are used to store or provide electric energy.

[0082] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of an electric device as an example. The electric device is a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid electric vehicle, or a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, etc.

[0083] In the context of the present disclosure, the organic particles mainly play a role in improving heat resistance in the coating layer of the separator film, and almost have no adhesion.

[0084] The separator film is an important component for supporting the secondary battery cell to complete the charge and discharge electrochemical process. The commonly used separator film is mostly polyolefin material, but the glass transition temperature of this kind of material is low, and serious thermal shrinkage will occur after heating. In order to improve the heat resistance of the separator film, boehmite or alumina is commonly used as a heat-resistant filler and a binder to form a coating. The density of boehmite and alumina is large, and the mass of boehmite and alumina is greater than that of other materials under the same packing volume, which affects the energy density of the secondary battery cell.

[0085] The separator film provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can make the secondary battery cell have high mass energy density, low internal resistance and good kinetic performance.

[0086] The separator film provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure comprises a porous base film and a coating layer located on at least one side of the porous base film, and the coating layer comprises organic particles and a binder. The swelling degree of the organic particles in a mixed solvent composed of ethylene carbonate and methyl ethyl carbonate in a volume ratio of 3:7 and soaked at 60°C for 7 days is less than or equal to 3%.

[0087] The porous base film and the coating layer both have a pore structure, so that the separator film has good air permeability and facilitates the passage of ions. The organic particles in the coating layer are connected to each other and fixed by the binder, and the gap between the organic particles can form a pore structure.

[0088] The density of the organic particles is small, and the secondary battery cell using the same can have higher mass energy density.

[0089] The electrolyte needs to be added during the preparation of the secondary battery cell, and the electrolyte comprises an electrolyte salt and an organic solvent. The swelling behavior of the organic particles in the electrolyte is dominated by the ion energy, and the swelling behavior of the organic particles in the organic solvent is more significantly affected by the mixing energy. In addition, the organic solvent molecules are small and easy to enter the molecular chain segments of the heat-resistant organic particles and swell the unstable parts. At present, the swelling degree of the conventional organic particles in the organic solvent is large, and the swelling degree of the organic particles in the coating layer is large, which can cause the air permeability of the separator film to decrease during the use of the secondary battery cell, and the internal resistance of the secondary battery cell increases. The swelling degree of the organic particles in the coating layer of the separator film of the present disclosure is less than or equal to 3%, and the structure stability of the organic particles is high during the long-term use of the secondary battery cell, thereby improving the problem of the decrease in the air permeability of the separator film during use. The air permeability of the separator film is good, the internal resistance of the secondary battery cell is small, and the kinetic performance is good.

[0090] Therefore, the separator film of the embodiments of the present disclosure can make the secondary battery cell have high mass energy density, low internal resistance and good kinetic performance.

[0091] In some embodiments, the swelling degree of the organic particles in a mixed solvent of ethylene carbonate and methyl ethyl carbonate in a volume ratio of 3:7 at 60°C for 7 days can be less than or equal to 2.5%, less than or equal to 2%, less than or equal to 1.8%, or less than or equal to 1.5%.

[0092] Thus, the internal resistance of the secondary battery cell can be further reduced, and the kinetic performance of the secondary battery cell can be improved.

[0093] The swelling degree = (the mass of the organic particles after immersion - the initial mass of the organic particles) / the initial mass of the organic particles x 100%.

[0094] The swelling degree of the organic particles can be tested as follows: take an appropriate amount of sample (for example, about 1 g), and record the mass as m1. Place the sample in a semi-permeable membrane sample bag, seal the bag, and the sample bag can permeate the solvent but cannot permeate the sample. Soak the sample bag in an appropriate amount of solvent (for example, about 50 g) at 60°C for 7 days. Then take out the sample bag, take out the sample from the sample bag, wipe off the excess solvent, and weigh the mass of the sample again as m2. The swelling degree = (m2 - m1) / m1 x 100%. The solvent is a mixed solvent obtained by mixing ethylene carbonate (EC) and methyl ethyl carbonate (EMC) in a volume ratio of 3:7.

[0095] In some embodiments, the true density of the organic particles can be 1.0 g / cm 3 -2.0 g / cm 3 . Alternatively, the true density of the organic particles can be 1.0 g / cm 3 -1.8 g / cm 3 .

[0096] Currently, the true density of inorganic particles such as boehmite and aluminum oxide is usually 2.5 g / cm 3 -3.5 g / cm 3 . The true density of the organic particles of the present disclosure is small, so that the secondary battery cell using the separator film of the present disclosure has a higher mass energy density.

[0097] In some embodiments, the volume distribution particle size Dv50 of the organic particles is less than 1 μm, and can be 50 nm-850 nm or 86 nm-850 nm.

[0098] The organic particles of the present disclosure are neither soluble in water nor in organic solvents such as tetrahydrofuran (THF), dichloromethane (DCM), dimethylformamide (DMF), trichlorobenzene (TCB), and chloroform at 25°C, i.e., they are not soluble in the mobile phase for gel permeation chromatography testing, and the molecular weight of the organic particles cannot be tested by gel permeation chromatography.

[0099] The organic particle of the present disclosure is at least one of a thermosetting resin polymer or a crosslinked polymer.

[0100] The thermosetting resin polymer refers to a polymer product that hardens irreversibly when cured, and does not soften or melt upon heating once cured.

[0101] The crosslinked polymer refers to a polymer product obtained when a crosslinking bond is formed between monomer units.
