DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0046] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the following will be combined with the accompanying drawings for the embodiments of the present application to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some but not all of the embodiments of the present application.
[0047] In the embodiments of the present application, the phrase "embodiments" means that the specific features, structures or properties described in combination with the embodiments can be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The phrase appears at various places in the specification does not necessarily all refer to the same embodiments, nor are they necessarily mutually exclusive or alternative embodiments to other embodiments.
[0048] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the technical terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish different objects, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number, specific order or primary and secondary relationship of the indicated technical features. In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is more than two, unless otherwise explicitly and specifically limited.
[0049] In the description of the embodiments of the present application, the term "and / or" is only a description of the association relationship of the associated objects, which means that there can be three relationships, for example, A and / or B, which can represent the three cases of A alone, A and B together, and B alone. In addition, the character " / " in this paper generally represents a "or" relationship between the front and rear associated objects.
[0050] The technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict between them.
[0051] In a first aspect, the present application provides a cylindrical battery 100, please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the cylindrical battery 100 includes a shell 10 and an electrode assembly 20 and an electrolyte (not marked in the figure) received in the shell 10. The electrolyte infiltrates the electrode assembly 20 in the shell 10, so that an electrochemical reaction occurs.
[0052] For the above-mentioned shell 10, please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the shell 10 can adopt a columnar shape, the shell 10 includes a first wall part 11, a second wall part 12 and a main body part 13. Along the axial direction K of the cylindrical battery 100, the first wall part 11 and the second wall part 12 can be connected to the two ends of the main body part 13 respectively. The second wall part 12 can be integrally provided with the main body part 13 or separately provided, and the end of the main body part 13 opposite to the second wall part 12 is provided with an opening 14. The electrode assembly 20 can be placed in the shell 10 through the opening 14, and the shell 10 can be sealed by covering the opening 14 with the first wall part 11.
[0053] The shell 10 can be made of an electrically conductive metal material such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, steel, stainless steel, nickel, copper, or magnesium alloy, which allows the shell 10 to lead out a certain polarity of the cylindrical battery 100, for example, the shell 10 itself as the positive or negative electrode of the cylindrical battery 100. In other embodiments, the shell 10 can also be made of a soft package material, for example, an aluminum-plastic film or a copper-plastic film.
[0054] For the above-mentioned electrode assembly 20, please refer to FIGS. 2 and 3. The outermost circle diameter of the electrode assembly 20 is smaller than the inner circle diameter of the shell 10, which facilitates the placement of the electrode assembly 20 in the shell 10. The electrode assembly 20 includes a first electrode sheet 21, a second electrode sheet 22, and a separator 23. The first electrode sheet 21, the separator 23, and the second electrode sheet 22 are stacked and wound, and the separator 23 is arranged between the first electrode sheet 21 and the second electrode sheet 22 to insulate and separate them. The innermost circle of the electrode assembly 20 can be provided with a gap space, which facilitates the entry of the electrolyte into the innermost circle of the electrode assembly 20, and then the first electrode sheet 21 and the second electrode sheet 22 are infiltrated from the inside of the electrode assembly 20. In other embodiments, the gap space can also be provided with a column.
[0055] The first electrode sheet 21 and the second electrode sheet 22 have opposite polarities, for example, the first electrode sheet 21 is a positive electrode sheet, and the second electrode sheet 22 is a negative electrode sheet. Or the first electrode sheet 21 is a negative electrode sheet, and the second electrode sheet 22 is a positive electrode sheet. In some embodiments, the first electrode sheet 21 can be electrically connected to the first wall portion 11, which allows the first wall portion 11 to lead out one polarity of the cylindrical battery 100, and the second electrode sheet 22 can be electrically connected to the second wall portion 12, which allows the second wall portion 12 to lead out another polarity of the cylindrical battery 100. By insulating the first wall portion 11 from the second wall portion 12, the occurrence of short circuit can be reduced.
[0056] For example, please further refer to FIGS. 4 and 5. The first electrode sheet 21 includes a first current collector 211 and a first active material layer 212, and the first active material layer 212 can be arranged on at least one surface of the first current collector 211 in the thickness direction (third direction Z) of the first current collector 211. One side of the first electrode sheet 21 in the width direction can be provided with a blank foil area (not labeled in the figure) or a plurality of first tabs 214. By flattening the blank foil area or the plurality of first tabs 214 to form a flattened surface, and electrically connecting the flattened surface to the first wall portion 11, one polarity can be led out. The second electrode sheet 22 can also be similarly arranged, and the other polarity can be led out through the second wall portion 12.
[0057] It should be noted that the electrode sheet is wound along its length direction (first direction X), and after winding, the length direction of the electrode sheet is the winding direction S, and the width direction (second direction Y) is the axial direction K of the cylindrical battery 100.
[0058] In some other embodiments, referring to FIG. 5, the first tab 21 has a single first lug 214, which is electrically connected to the first wall 11 to make the first wall 11 lead out one polarity. The second tab 22 can also have a single second lug (not shown in the figure), which is electrically connected to the second wall 12 to make the second wall 12 lead out another polarity. The first wall 11 and the second wall 12 can each have a pole, which can be used to lead out the positive and negative poles.
[0059] During winding, if the starting section of the winding is provided with the active material layer, the active material layer in this part can be pressed against the separator 23, which can easily cause the separator 23 to be damaged and affect the roundness of the innermost circle of the electrode assembly 20, resulting in poor structural stability of the electrode assembly 20.
[0060] To reduce the above problems, in the embodiments of the present application, referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, along the winding direction S, the first current collector 211 includes a first starting empty foil section 2111, which can reduce the damage to the separator 23 and improve the structural stability of the electrode assembly 20.
[0061] Along the winding direction S, the first tab 21 includes a first starting end 2113 and a first ending end 2114. The first starting end 2113 is one end of the first starting empty foil section 2111 away from the first ending end 2114. In the embodiments of the present application, the first starting end 2113 is located at the second innermost circle tab of the electrode assembly 20, wherein the innermost circle tab of the electrode assembly 20 is part of the second tab 22.
[0062] During cutting, the first current collector 211 can form cutting burrs at the first starting section 2113 and the first ending end 2114. The burrs can easily pierce the separator, especially in the case of high stress on the inner circle, the risk of the burrs piercing the separator is higher.
[0063] In the embodiments of the present application, referring to FIGS. 6 to 8, the cylindrical battery 100 further includes a first adhesive layer 30 and a second adhesive layer 40. After winding, the first tab 21 includes a first surface 21a facing away from the winding center and a second surface 21b facing the winding center. The first adhesive layer 30 is arranged on the first surface 21a of the first starting empty foil section 2111.
[0064] For example, along the winding direction S, the first adhesive layer 30 includes a first portion 31 and a third portion 33 connected to each other. The third portion 33 is bonded to the first surface 21a, and the first portion 31 extends out of the first starting end 2113, so that the first adhesive layer 30 covers part of the cutting burrs on the first surface 21a, reduces the risk of the cutting burrs piercing the separator 23, and further reduces the risk of short circuit.
[0065] The second adhesive layer 40 can also be arranged similarly to the first adhesive layer 30, for example, along the winding direction S, the second adhesive layer 40 includes a second portion 42 and a fourth portion 44 connected with each other, the fourth portion 44 is bonded to the second surface 21b, and the second portion 42 extends out of the first starting end 2113, so that the second adhesive layer 40 can cover part of the cutting burr on the second surface 21b, reduce the cutting burr piercing the separator 23, and further reduce the short circuit.
[0066] The first adhesive layer 30 includes a substrate layer (not shown in the figure) and a bonding layer (not shown in the figure), and the bonding layer is arranged on the surface of the substrate layer and bonded to the first electrode sheet 21. The substrate layer can be made of polyimide (PI) or polyester (PET) material, and the bonding layer can be made of polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) or acrylic material, so that the bonding force between the first adhesive layer 30 and the first electrode sheet 21 can reach 0.15 N / mm or more, and after being soaked by the electrolyte, the bonding force can reach 0.1 N / mm or more. The second adhesive layer 40 and the following third adhesive layer 50 and fourth adhesive layer 60 can also be arranged similarly.
[0067] The inventors of the present application have found that during the charge and discharge cycle of the cylindrical battery 100, the first electrode sheet 21 and the second electrode sheet 22 will swell, which may cause the first electrode sheet 21 and the second electrode sheet 22 to slide towards the inner ring and the outer ring along the winding direction S, and even cause the electrode assembly 20 to occupy the gap space between the shell 10 and the inner ring space of the electrode assembly 20. For example, the first starting end 2113 slides towards the inner ring and occupies the inner ring space, and the first ending end 2114 slides towards the outer ring and occupies the gap space between the shell 10. However, the first adhesive layer 30 and the second adhesive layer 40 have small sliding amounts due to the extrusion of the layers of electrode sheets and the friction between the layers of electrode sheets, and the sliding directions of the adjacent two layers of electrode sheets may be opposite, which may cause the first adhesive layer 30 and the second adhesive layer 40 to slide in the opposite direction of the first starting end 2113. During the sliding process, the first starting end 2113 may directly exceed the first adhesive layer 30 and the second adhesive layer 40, so that the first starting end 2113 is exposed, which is easy to cause the cutting burr of the first starting end 2113 to pierce the separator 23, and there is a risk of short circuit.
[0068] Furthermore, the inventors of the present application have found that, as the portion 33 bonded to the first tab 21, the slippage of the first adhesive layer 30 along the winding direction S is related to the length of the third portion 33. After long-term charge-discharge cycles of the cylindrical battery 100 and occupation of the gap space of the partial innermost circle of the electrode assembly 20 and occupation of the gap space between the electrode assembly 20 and the shell 10, in the extreme case, the slippage direction of the first adhesive layer 30 is opposite to the first starting end 2113, and the slippage amount of the first adhesive layer approximately satisfies 1 / (4*L3), L3 being the length of the third portion 33 along the winding direction S, that is, the bonding length of the first adhesive layer 30 and the first tab 21.
[0069] In the embodiments of the present application, the length of the first portion 31 along the winding direction S satisfies L1≥π(R3-R1+R4-R2)+1 / (4*L3), which can reduce the first starting end 2113 slipping along the winding direction S due to the expansion of the tab during the long-term charge-discharge cycles of the cylindrical battery 100, thereby reducing the burr of the first surface 21a of the first starting end 2113 piercing the separator 23 and reducing the occurrence of short circuits. Referring to FIG. 9, the diameter of the outermost circle of the electrode assembly 20 is R1, the diameter of the innermost circle of the electrode assembly 20 is R2, the diameter of the shell 10 (the inner circle of the shell 10) is R3, and the diameter of the tab of the innermost circle of the electrode assembly 20 is R4.
[0070] For the measurement of R1, R2, R3, and R4, the measurement can be performed by using a Keyence microscope. For example, after disassembling the battery sample, the sample is fixed on the sample stage of the microscope, the power of the Keyence microscope is turned on, and the microscope software is started. The coarse focus and fine focus knobs of the microscope are used to focus the sample clearly. During focusing, the real-time image in the microscope software can be observed to ensure that the edge and details of the sample are clearly visible. In the Keyence microscope software, the circular measurement tool is selected for diameter measurement. The center of the circular measurement tool is aligned with the center of the cylindrical battery, and then the size of the measurement tool is adjusted so that it just surrounds the edge of the cylindrical battery. During adjustment, the image can be zoomed in and the position of the measurement tool can be finely adjusted to ensure the accuracy of the measurement. The measurement result is read. The software automatically displays the diameter value of the circular measurement tool. The diameter of the tab of the innermost circle of the electrode assembly 20 can also be measured by using a computer tomography instrument (CT) to scan the electrode assembly 20.
[0071] It should be noted that the above diameter R1 can be the diameter of the outermost circle of the electrode assembly 20 itself or the diameter of the fitting circle where the outermost circle of the electrode assembly 20 is located, and R2, R3, and the following R4 and R5 are similar.
[0072] In some embodiments, the second tab 22 comprises a second starting end 22a, the second starting end 22a is located at the innermost ring of the electrode assembly 20, and the second starting end 22a exceeds the first starting end 2113 in the winding direction S.
[0073] In some embodiments, the first portion 31 and the second portion 42 are bonded to each other after extending the first starting end 2113, which can improve the overall connection strength of the first adhesive layer 30, the second adhesive layer 40, and the first tab 21, and reduce the risk of the first starting end 2113 of the first tab 21 being exposed from the first adhesive layer 30 and the second adhesive layer 40.
[0074] The inventors of the present application have found that if the length of the first portion 31 is too small, it may be difficult to effectively isolate the burr of the first surface 21a of the first starting end 2113, and if the length of the first portion 31 is too large, it occupies a large space, which not only affects the winding of the first tab 21, but also causes the loss of energy density of the cylindrical battery 100. In the embodiments of the present application, 1.5mm≤L1≤5mm is limited, which can cover the burr while reducing the impact of the first adhesive layer 30 on the energy density of the cylindrical battery 100, and is conducive to the winding of the first tab 21. Preferably, 1.5mm≤L1≤4mm, which further reduces the short circuit while reducing the impact on the energy density.
[0075] Based on the same inventive concept described above, the second adhesive layer 40 can also be similarly arranged, and the slip amount of the second adhesive layer 40 approximately satisfies 1 / (4×L4), L4 being the length of the fourth portion 44, i.e., the bonding length of the second adhesive layer 40 and the first tab 21. In the embodiments of the present application, the length of the second portion 42 is L2 in the winding direction S, and L2≥π(R3-R1+R4-R2)+1 / (4×L4), which can reduce the first starting end 2113 slipping along the winding direction S due to the expansion of the tab during the long-term charge-discharge cycle of the cylindrical battery 100, and further reduce the burr of the second surface 21b of the first starting end 2113 piercing the separator 23, thereby reducing the short circuit.
[0076] Similar to the first adhesive layer 30 described above, in the embodiments of the present application, 1.5mm≤L2≤5mm is limited, which can cover the burr while reducing the impact of the first adhesive layer 30 on the energy density of the cylindrical battery 100, and is conducive to the winding of the first tab 21. Preferably, 1.5mm≤L2≤4mm, which further reduces the short circuit while reducing the impact on the energy density.
[0077] In some embodiments, the slippage amount of the first adhesive layer 30 can be greater than the slippage amount of the first tab 21, causing the first tab 21 to separate from the first adhesive layer 30 away from the side of the first portion 31 to the third portion 33. To reduce this problem, in the present application, L3≥1 / (4×L3) is defined to reduce the first adhesive layer 30 beyond the first starting end 2113, thereby reducing the occurrence of short circuit. Based on the same inventive concept, L4≥1 / (4×L4) is defined to reduce the second adhesive layer 40 beyond the first starting end 2113, thereby reducing the occurrence of short circuit.
[0078] For the length of the third portion 33, in some embodiments, 0.6mm≤L3≤10mm can reduce the exposure of the first starting end 2113 from the first adhesive layer and reduce the impact on the energy density. For the length of the fourth portion 44, 0.6mm≤L4≤10mm can reduce the exposure of the first starting end 2113 from the second adhesive layer and reduce the impact on the energy density.
[0079] In some embodiments, along the axial direction K of the cylindrical battery 100, the shell 10 includes oppositely arranged first and second wall portions 11 and 12. The cylindrical battery 100 includes a first tab 214, one end of which is connected to the outermost circle of the first tab 21, and the other end of which is connected to the first wall portion 11. The first tab 214 is arranged at the outermost circle of the first tab 21, and the inner circle is more prone to slippage in the winding direction S. Defining L1≥π(R3-R1+R4-R2)+1 / (4×L3) and L2≥π(R3-R1+R4-R2)+1 / (4×L4) can reduce the occurrence of short circuit.
[0080] In some embodiments, along the axial direction K of the cylindrical battery 100, the shell 10 includes oppositely arranged first and second wall portions 11 and 12. The outermost circle of the first tab 21 is connected to the first wall portion 11, and the outermost circle of the second tab 22 is connected to the second wall portion 12. Then the inner circle is more prone to slippage in the winding direction S. Defining L1≥π(R3-R1+R4-R2)+1 / (4×L3) and L2≥π(R3-R1+R4-R2)+1 / (4×L4) can reduce the occurrence of short circuit.
[0081] For the burr of the above-mentioned first ending end 2114, the present inventors have found that when the first ending end 2114 is located at the next outer circle tab of the electrode assembly 20, the first ending end 2114 can also slip because there are heteropolarity tabs on both sides of the next inner circle tab in the thickness direction of the next inner circle tab, and the restraining force of the next outer circle tab is small, thereby increasing the risk of the burr of the first starting end 2113 piercing the separator 23, and further causing the first tab 21 to contact the second tab 22 and short circuit.
[0082] To reduce the risk of the first end 2114 piercing the separator 23, please refer to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, along the winding direction S, the first tab 21 further comprises a first tail empty foil segment 2112, the first end 2114 is one end of the first tail empty foil segment 2112 away from the first starting end 2113, and the first end 2114 is located at the secondary outer ring tab of the electrode assembly 20. In the embodiments of the present application, please refer to FIG. 6, FIG. 7 and FIG. 10, the cylindrical battery 100 further comprises a third adhesive layer 50 and a fourth adhesive layer 60.
[0083] The third adhesive layer 50 can be arranged on the first surface 21a of the first tail empty foil segment 2112, for example, along the winding direction S, the third adhesive layer 50 comprises a ninth portion 59 and an eleventh portion 511 connected to each other, the ninth portion 59 is bonded to the first surface 21a, and the eleventh portion 511 extends out of the first end 2114. This can make the third adhesive layer 50 cover part of the cutting burr on the first surface 21a, reduce the cutting burr piercing the separator 23, and further reduce the occurrence of short circuit.
[0084] The fourth adhesive layer 60 can also be arranged similarly to the third adhesive layer 50, for example, along the winding direction S, the second adhesive layer 40 comprises a tenth portion 610 and a twelfth portion 612 connected to each other, the tenth portion 610 is bonded to the second surface 21b, and the twelfth portion 612 extends out of the first end 2114. This can make the fourth adhesive layer 60 cover part of the cutting burr on the second surface 21b, reduce the cutting burr piercing the separator 23, and further reduce the occurrence of short circuit.
[0085] The eleventh portion 511 and the twelfth portion 612 are bonded to each other after extending out of the first end 2114, which can improve the overall connection strength of the third adhesive layer 50, the fourth adhesive layer 60 and the first tab 21, reduce the exposure of the first end 2114 from the third adhesive layer 50 and the fourth adhesive layer 60, and further reduce the piercing of the cutting burr on the first end 2113 to the separator 23.
[0086] Similar to the first starting end 2113 described above, along the winding direction S, the length of the ninth portion 59 is L9, and the length of the eleventh portion 511 is L 11 , which satisfies L 11 ≥ π(R3-R1+R4-R2) + 1 / (4×L9). This can reduce the occurrence of the first end 2114 sliding along the winding direction S and exceeding the third adhesive layer 50 due to the expansion of the tab during the long-term charge and discharge cycle of the cylindrical battery 100, and further reduce the piercing of the cutting burr on the first surface 21a of the first end 2114 to the separator 23 and the occurrence of short circuit.
[0087] Based on the same inventive concept described above, the fourth adhesive layer 60 can also be arranged similarly.

In other embodiments, 1.5mm≤L 12 ≤4mm, which can further reduce the impact on the energy density while reducing the risk of short circuit caused by the expansion of the electrode tab.
[0090] In some embodiments, please refer to FIGS. 6 and 7, the third portion 33 further includes a fifth portion 35 and a seventh portion 37, which are two portions of the third portion 33 extending beyond the edge of the first electrode tab 21 in the width direction (second direction Y) of the first electrode tab 21.

The second tab 22 includes a first region 221 and a second region 222. Along the width direction (second direction Y) of the second tab 22, the first region 221 is beyond the first edge 21c on one side of the first tab 21, and the second region 222 is beyond the second edge 21d on the other side of the first tab 21. For example, along the width direction (second direction Y) of the second tab 22, the width of the first region 221 is W1, and the width of the second region 222 is W2. In the embodiments of the present application, it is limited that 0.1mm≤W1≤0.6mm and 0.1mm≤W2≤0.6mm, which can make the second tab 22 have enough excess to embed the first tab 21 and escape from lithium ions, so as to reduce the occurrence of lithium precipitation.
[0092] The isolation film 23 includes a third region 233 and a fourth region 234. Along the width direction (second direction Y) of the second tab 22, the third region 233 is beyond the first region 221 on one side of the second tab 22, and the fourth region 234 is beyond the second region 222 on the other side of the second tab 22. For example, along the width direction (second direction Y) of the isolation film 23, the width of the third region 233 is W3, and the width of the fourth region 234 is W4. In the embodiments of the present application, it is limited that 0.4mm≤W3≤1.2mm and / or 0.4mm≤W4≤1.2mm, which can make the isolation film 23 insulate the first tab 21 from the second tab 22 and reduce the occurrence of short circuit.
[0093] In some embodiments, along the width direction (second direction Y) of the first tab 21, the width of the fifth part 35 is W5, and the width of the seventh part 37 is W7. In the embodiments of the present application, it is satisfied that W1≤W5≤W1+W3, which can reduce the first starting end 2113 from sliding along the axial direction K to beyond the fifth part 35, thereby reducing the occurrence of short circuit, improving the anti-collision performance of the cylindrical battery 100, and reducing the impact on the energy density and the packaging strength. Based on the same inventive concept, W2≤W7≤W2+W4, which can reduce the first starting end 2113 from sliding along the axial direction K to beyond the seventh part 37, thereby reducing the occurrence of short circuit, improving the anti-collision performance of the cylindrical battery 100, and reducing the impact on the energy density and the packaging strength.
[0094] The second adhesive layer 40 can also be arranged similarly to the first adhesive layer 30. The fourth portion 44 further includes a sixth portion 46 and an eighth portion 48. Along the width direction (second direction Y) of the first tab 21, the sixth portion 46 and the eighth portion 48 are portions of the fourth portion 44 that extend beyond the edge of the first tab 21. The width of the sixth portion 46 along the width direction (second direction Y) of the first tab 21 is W6, and the second width of the eighth portion 48 is W8. In embodiments of the present application, W1≤W6≤W1+W3, which can reduce the first starting end 2113 from sliding along the axial direction K to extend beyond the sixth portion 46, thereby reducing the occurrence of short circuits. Based on the same inventive concept, W2≤W8≤W2+W4, which can reduce the first starting end 2113 from sliding along the axial direction K to extend beyond the eighth portion 48, thereby reducing the occurrence of short circuits.
[0095] In some embodiments, referring to FIGS. 12 and 13, the projection of the portion of the first adhesive layer 30 along the thickness direction (third direction Z) of the first tab 21 is located outside the projection of the second adhesive layer 40. In other embodiments, the projection of the second adhesive layer 40 is located outside the projection of the first adhesive layer 30, which can enable the second adhesive layer 40 to bond the portion of the separator 23. For example, the fifth portion 35 and the sixth portion 46 have a non-overlapping region, and this portion can extend beyond the sixth portion 46 along the width direction (second direction Y) of the first tab 21 or the winding direction S, which can enable the fifth portion 35 to bond the portion of the separator 23. Similarly, the sixth portion 46 can also bond the portion of the separator 23. This can improve the overall bonding strength of the electrode assembly 20, reduce the loosening of the tabs, and thereby reduce the sliding of the first starting end 2113. Furthermore, the close bonding of the first tab 21 and the separator 23 can enhance the bonding force between the first tab 21 and the separator 23, reduce the separation of the first tab 21 and the separator 23 during charging and discharging, and thereby reduce safety issues such as internal short circuits.
[0096] In other embodiments, the seventh portion 37 and the eighth portion 48 can also be arranged to be non-overlapping, and the separator 23 can be bonded by the seventh portion 37 and the eighth portion 48. Alternatively, the first portion 31 and the second portion 42 can be arranged to be non-overlapping, and the separator 23 can be bonded by the first portion 31 and the second portion 42.

A copper foil with a thickness of 5 um and a length of 410 mm was selected as a negative electrode current collector, the negative electrode slurry was uniformly coated on one surface of the negative electrode current collector copper foil, and the copper foil was left with an empty foil area without negative electrode slurry at both ends, and the copper foil was dried at 90°C to obtain a single-sided negative electrode tab. After the above steps were completed, the single-sided coating of the negative electrode tab was completed. Then, the above steps were repeated on the other surface of the negative electrode tab to obtain a double-sided negative electrode tab with a negative electrode active material layer. The coating weight of the negative electrode tab was 6.5 mg / cm 2 .
[0120] <Preparation of a separator>
[0121] A polyethylene (PE) with a thickness of 7 um and a 2 um aluminum oxide (Al2O3) coated porous film were used as a separator.
[0122] <Preparation of electrolyte>
[0123] In a dry argon atmosphere, ethylene carbonate, methyl ethyl carbonate and diethyl carbonate were mixed in a mass ratio of 30:50:20 to obtain an organic solution, then lithium salt lithium hexafluorophosphate was dissolved and uniformly mixed in the organic solvent to obtain an electrolyte with a lithium salt concentration of 1.15 mol / L.
[0124] <Preparation of lithium ion battery>
[0125] An aluminum sheet with a width of 3 mm was used as the positive tab, and the positive tab was welded to the empty foil area of the tail section of the positive electrode sheet. A nickel sheet with a width of 3 mm was used as the negative tab, and the negative tab was welded to the empty foil area of the tail section of the negative electrode sheet. The above-prepared separator, positive electrode sheet, separator, negative electrode sheet were stacked in order, and wound to obtain an electrode assembly, wherein the outermost circle diameter of the electrode assembly was R1 = 10.35 mm, the innermost circle diameter of the electrode assembly was R2 = 2.3 mm, the inner circle diameter of the shell was R3 = 10.5 mm, and the electrode assembly next to the inner circle was R4 = 2.5 mm. The electrode assembly was subjected to hot pressing (pressure 5 MPa, temperature 65℃, pressure holding time 10s). The electrode assembly was placed in a cylindrical shell, and the positive tab was welded to the top wall of the shell, and the negative tab was welded to the bottom wall of the shell. After removing the water at 80℃, the electrolyte was injected, and after packaging, injection, formation, capacity test, voltage resistance test and other processes, a secondary battery was prepared.
[0126] Charge-discharge cycle test: the above-prepared lithium ion battery was placed in a test temperature of 25℃ environment for 30min, and the secondary battery was placed in a test temperature of 25℃ environment for 30min. The following charging steps were performed to charge to 4.45V:
[0127] (1) 2.5C constant current charging to 4.15V, constant voltage charging to 1.5C;
[0128] (2) 1.5C constant current charging to 4.18V, constant voltage charging to 0.5C;
[0129] (3) 0.5C constant current charging to 4.45V, constant voltage charging to 0.02C;
[0130] After standing for 10min, the following steps were performed for discharging:
[0131] 1C constant current discharging to 3V, which was one cycle.
[0132] After 1000 cycles of charge-discharge, the lithium ion battery was disassembled, and whether the first starting end of the electrode sheet exceeded the adhesive layer was observed. If it exceeded, it was considered invalid. Each group of tests 50 samples, the number of failures is N, and the failure rate is N / 50.
[0133] The relevant parameters in Examples A2 to A26 and Comparative Examples A1 to A3 are shown in Table 1 below, and the remaining parameters are consistent with those in Example A1.
[0134] Table 1
[0135] According to Table 1 above, in combination with Examples A1 to A26, it can be seen that when L1≥π(R3-R1+R4-R2)+1 / (4×L3) and L2≥π(R3-R1+R4-R2)+1 / (4×L4), the cycle failure rate of the lithium ion battery can be effectively reduced. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, L1≥π(R3-R1+R4-R2)+1 / (4×L3) and L2≥π(R3-R1+R4-R2)+1 / (4×L4) are limited, which can reduce the first starting end slip of the pole piece due to the expansion of the pole piece during long-term charge and discharge cycles, and thus reduce the burr of the first surface of the first starting end piercing the separator, and reduce the short circuit.
[0136] In Examples A10 and A11, the drop failure rate is similar, and in Example A10, the lengths of the first and second parts are smaller, and the impact on the energy density of the cylindrical battery is smaller. Therefore, in the present application, 1.5mm≤L1≤5mm and 1.5mm≤L2≤5mm can be selected. In Examples A2 to A8, the drop failure rate is further reduced, and in the embodiments of the present application, 1.5mm≤L1≤4mm and 1.5mm≤L2≤4mm are preferred, which further reduces the short circuit caused by the slip of the pole piece while reducing the impact on the energy density.
[0137] In combination with Examples A13 to A26, in Examples A14 to A26, the cycle failure rate is reduced, and in Example A25, the third part is too long and occupies a large space, which will cause a loss of energy density. In the present application, 0.6mm≤L3≤10mm and 0.6mm≤L4≤10mm can be selected, which can reduce the short circuit while reducing the impact on the energy density of the cylindrical battery.
[0138] Experiment Two: Drop Test of Lithium Ion Battery
[0139] Drop test method: lithium ion battery is placed in 25℃ environment for 30 minutes, and then charged in the following steps: constant current charging to 4.53V at 0.5C, constant voltage charging to 0.05C, standing for 60min, then testing the voltage of lithium ion battery before drop test; the lithium ion battery is loaded into the clamp, and the drop equipment is used to drop freely from a distance of 1.75m from the marble ground, and randomly drop 60 times. After the drop test, it is placed at room temperature for 24h, and the voltage of the lithium ion battery is measured and recorded. The appearance of the lithium ion battery is checked before and after the test and photographed. The pass criteria of drop test: voltage drop <30mV, 50 lithium ion batteries are tested, the number of lithium ion batteries that fail the test is X, and the test failure rate is X / 50.
[0140] Different from example A3, the relevant parameters in examples B1 to B7 are shown in Table 2, and the remaining parameters are consistent with example A3. Different from example A3, in example B1, the first adhesive layer further comprises a fifth part and a seventh part, the fifth part extends out of the positive electrode sheet along the width direction of the positive electrode sheet, the width W5 of the fifth part is 0.3mm; the seventh part extends out of the positive electrode sheet on the other side, the width W7 of the seventh part is 0.3mm. The negative electrode sheet comprises a first region and a second region, the first region extends beyond the positive electrode sheet along the width direction of the negative electrode sheet, and the second region extends beyond the positive electrode sheet on the other side. The width W1 of the first region is 0.3mm, and the width W2 of the second region is 0.3mm. The separator film comprises a third region and a fourth region, the third region extends beyond the first region along the width direction of the second electrode sheet, and the fourth region extends beyond the second region. The width W3 of the third region is 0.5mm, and the width W4 of the fourth region is 0.5mm. The remaining examples are similar.
[0141] Table 2
[0142] According to Table 2, in combination with Embodiment A3 and Embodiments B1-B7, in Embodiments B3-B7, the drop failure rate is less than that of Embodiments B1, B2 and A3, Embodiments B3-B7 can reduce the first starting end from sliding along the axial direction of the cylindrical battery to exceed the fifth portion and / or the seventh portion, thereby reducing the occurrence of short circuit and improving the impact resistance of the cylindrical battery. In Embodiment B7, the drop failure rate is similar to that of Embodiments B5 and B6, but in Embodiments B5 and B6, the occupied space is smaller and the impact on energy density is smaller. Therefore, in the embodiments of the present application, W1≤W5≤W1+W3 and W2≤W7≤W2+W4 can be selected to improve the impact resistance of the cylindrical battery and reduce the excessive space occupied by the fifth portion and the seventh portion, thereby reducing the impact on the energy density. Similarly, W1≤W6≤W1+W3 and W2≤W8≤W2+W4 can be selected. The first starting end can be reduced from sliding along the axial direction to exceed the sixth portion and the eighth portion, thereby reducing the occurrence of short circuit, improving the impact resistance of the cylindrical battery, and reducing the excessive space occupied by the sixth portion and / or the eighth portion, thereby reducing the impact on the energy density.
