[0061] The battery apparatus mentioned in the embodiments of the present disclosure can include one or more battery cell assemblies for providing voltage and capacity. The battery cell assembly can include a plurality of battery cells connected in series, in parallel, or in a mixed connection through a busbar component.

[0062] In some embodiments, the battery cell assembly is generally formed by arranging a plurality of battery cells.

[0063] As an example, the battery cell assembly can be a battery module formed by arranging and fixing a plurality of battery cells into one independent module. As an example, the battery module can be formed by bundling a plurality of battery cells with a cable tie.

[0064] In some embodiments, the battery apparatus can be a battery pack including a box and one or more battery cell assemblies housed in the box.

[0065] As an example, the battery cell assembly can be a battery module, which can be housed in the box by fixing the battery module in the box.

[0066] As an example, the battery cell assembly can also be housed in the box by directly fixing a plurality of battery cells in the box.

[0067] As an example, the box can include a first box and a second box. The first box and the second box are fastened so that an enclosed space is formed inside the box to accommodate the battery cell assembly. Here, the enclosed means covered or closed, which can be sealed or unsealed. The first box can be a top cover or a bottom plate.

[0068] As an example, the box 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 box to accommodate the battery cell assembly.

[0070] The technical solutions described in the embodiments of the present disclosure are applicable to various power consumption devices using battery monomers and battery devices, for example, but not limited to, mobile devices (such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, etc.), electric vehicles (such as 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 battery monomers and battery devices are used to store or provide electric energy.

[0071] FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of a power consumption device as an example. The power consumption device is a pure electric vehicle, a hybrid electric vehicle, or a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, etc.

[0072] The battery monomer provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure includes an electrode assembly and an outer package, and the outer package can be used to package the electrode assembly. The outer package can be a hard shell, such as a hard plastic shell, an aluminum shell, a steel shell, etc. The outer package can also be a soft package, such as a bag-type soft package. The material of the soft package can be plastic, such as one or more of aluminum plastic film, polypropylene, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), and polybutylene succinate (PBS).

[0073] Currently, the polymer electrolyte film used in the battery monomer mainly faces two problems: first, it is not resistant to high pressure at the positive electrode interface and is prone to overcharging; second, it cannot well block dendrites at the negative electrode interface. At present, a polymer electrolyte film that can simultaneously solve the above two problems has not been developed.

[0074] Based on this, the present disclosure provides a polymer electrolyte film, which is applied to a battery monomer and can make the battery monomer have good cycle performance.

[0075] The polymer electrolyte film of the present disclosure includes a first polymer electrolyte film and a second polymer electrolyte film stacked together, the first polymer electrolyte film includes a first polymer, a first plasticizer, and a first electrolyte salt, and the second polymer electrolyte film includes a single-ion conductor polymer electrolyte.

[0076] The conventional polymer electrolyte is a double-ion electrolyte. When the battery monomer is charged, the lithium ions and anions in the double-ion electrolyte simultaneously undergo electromigration under the influence of the electric field, in which the lithium ions migrate to the negative electrode side and the anions migrate to the positive electrode side. Ideally, the total migration amount of the anions and the cations is equal to the amount of lithium ions consumed by the reduction reaction at the negative electrode, so the amount of lithium ions consumed by the reduction at the negative electrode is greater than the amount of lithium ions migrated to the negative electrode side, thereby forming a concentration gradient at the negative electrode side and causing concentration polarization. Especially when the lithium ion concentration on the surface of the negative electrode decreases to zero, a large amount of dendrites will also be generated.

[0077] The second polymer electrolyte film of the present disclosure includes a single-ion conductor polymer electrolyte, which can increase the lithium ion transference number, reduce the anion transference number, thereby reducing the concentration polarization of the battery cell and slowing the dendrite growth.

[0078] The first polymer electrolyte film includes a first polymer, a first plasticizer and a first electrolyte salt. The introduction of the first plasticizer can improve the ionic conductivity of the first polymer electrolyte film, and also improve the film-forming properties of the first polymer and the mechanical properties of the first polymer electrolyte film. In addition, the first polymer electrolyte film also has good oxidation resistance and electrochemical stability.

[0079] Therefore, the polymer electrolyte film of the present disclosure can not only slow the dendrite growth, but also has high ionic conductivity, as well as good mechanical properties, oxidation resistance and electrochemical stability. When applied to a battery cell, the battery cell can have good cycle performance. In particular, the polymer electrolyte film of the present disclosure can make the high-voltage battery cell have good cycle performance.

[0080] In some embodiments, the first polymer can include one or more of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), polyamide (PA), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) and derivatives thereof.

[0139] The battery cell provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be an ion battery cell, a metal battery cell, a negative electrode-free metal battery cell, for example, a lithium ion battery cell, a lithium metal battery cell, a negative electrode-free lithium metal battery cell, etc.

[0140] The battery cell provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can be an ion battery cell, a metal battery cell, a negative electrode-free metal battery cell, for example, a lithium ion battery cell, a lithium metal battery cell, a negative electrode-free lithium metal battery cell, etc.

[0141] The negative electrode-free lithium metal battery cell generally refers to a battery cell that is not actively provided with a negative electrode active material layer on the negative electrode side during the manufacturing process of the battery cell, for example, a negative electrode active material layer formed of a carbon material is not provided at the negative electrode by a coating or deposition process during the manufacturing process of the battery cell. During the first charging, ions obtain electrons on the negative electrode side and deposit to form a metal phase on the surface of the negative electrode current collector. During discharging, the metal can be converted into metal ions to return to the positive electrode, realizing the cycle of charging and discharging. Compared with other battery cells, the negative electrode-free lithium metal battery cell can obtain higher energy density because it does not have a negative electrode active material layer. In some embodiments, in order to improve the performance of the battery cell, some substances that can be used as negative electrode active materials, such as carbon materials, can also be provided on the negative electrode side of the negative electrode-free lithium metal battery cell. Although these substances have a certain capacity, because their content is small and they are not used as the main negative electrode active material in the battery cell, the battery cell thus constituted can still be regarded as a negative electrode-free lithium metal battery cell. The CB value of the negative electrode-free lithium metal battery cell is usually very small, for example, in some embodiments, the CB value of the negative electrode-free lithium metal battery cell can be less than or equal to 0.1. The CB value is the capacity per unit area of the negative electrode in the battery cell divided by the capacity per unit area of the positive electrode. Because the negative electrode-free lithium metal battery cell does not contain or contains only a small amount of negative electrode active material, the capacity per unit area of the negative electrode is small, and thus the CB value is very small, for example, usually less than or equal to 0.1.

[0142] In some embodiments, the first polymer electrolyte membrane is close to the positive electrode sheet, and the second polymer electrolyte membrane is close to the negative electrode sheet.

[0143] The first polymer electrolyte membrane close to the positive electrode sheet can better exert its advantage of good electrochemical stability, and the second polymer electrolyte membrane close to the negative electrode sheet can better exert its advantage of reducing concentration polarization and slowing down dendrite growth. Thus, the battery cell can have higher discharge capacity and better cycle performance.
