Technical Field

[0003] This disclosure relates to the field of battery technology, and more particularly to a battery, battery assembly, and electrical device. Background Technology

[0004] The main bottleneck in current battery technology lies in the fact that the current density and temperature rise in the areas closer to the tabs on both the positive and negative electrodes are higher than those further away. This results in insufficient negative electrode capacity, making lithium plating more likely and hindering further improvements in battery charging capability. Existing technologies improve the fast-charging capability of the weaker negative electrode areas through partitioned design; however, optimizing only the negative electrode side accelerates the electrochemical reaction rate in local areas, leading to a sharp increase in heat generation near the tabs, widening the temperature difference within the cell, and reducing battery life. A balance between fast-charging capability and lifespan cannot be achieved. Summary of the Invention

[0160] In this disclosure, the partitioning of the positive and negative electrode coatings can be performed using the following method:

[0161] The partitioning of the third positive electrode coating area and the second positive electrode coating area: After disassembling the positive and negative electrodes of the battery, along the first direction (y direction) of the positive electrode coating area of ​​the battery, sampling points with equal intervals (interval of 5 mm) are selected starting from the positive electrode tab side (using a circular sampler to cut a circle with a diameter of 16 mm as the sampling point). The mass percentage of Fe ions at different sampling points in the first direction is tested using ICP. The position of the sampling point where the mass percentage of Fe ions changes, perpendicular to the first direction of the battery, is the partitioning line between the third positive electrode coating area and the second positive electrode coating area.

[0162] The division between the first and second positive electrode coating areas can be achieved by selecting equally spaced sampling points (5mm apart) along the opposite direction of the first direction of the battery (the opposite direction of the y-direction), i.e., the direction closer to the positive electrode tab. These sampling points are measured using ICP to determine the mass percentage of Fe ions at different locations. The position perpendicular to the first direction of the battery where the Fe ion mass percentage changes is the dividing line between the first and second positive electrode coating areas. A change in the Fe ion mass percentage is defined as a difference of more than 10% between adjacent sampling points.

[0163] Method for measuring the length of the positive / negative electrode coating in the first and second directions: Using the positive / negative electrode coating as the measurement object, measure along the y and x directions of the coating with a ruler to obtain the length of the positive / negative electrode coating in the first and second directions.

[0164] Method for measuring the thickness of the positive / negative electrode coating area: The total thickness of the positive / negative electrode sheet is measured using a micrometer. The positive / negative electrode coating is wiped with alcohol. The thickness of the remaining foil after removing the positive / negative electrode coating is also measured using a micrometer. The thickness of the positive / negative electrode coating area is obtained by subtracting the thickness of the foil from the total thickness of the positive / negative electrode sheet.

[0165] The method for measuring the ratio s of the coating thickness of the negative electrode active material coating layer to the diameter of the negative electrode active particles (the measurement methods for s2 and s3 are the same as for s): The negative electrode sheet is cut using Ar ion etching. After taking images of the corresponding area using a scanning electron microscope or a transmission electron microscope, the average ratio of the coating thickness of 5 particles in the area to the diameter of the negative electrode active particles is measured.

[0166] The method for measuring the proportion d of the first positive electrode active material in the third positive electrode coating region to the total mass of the positive electrode active material in the third positive electrode coating region is as follows (the measurement methods for d2 and d3 are the same as for d):

[0167] After partitioning, the LMFP content in the third positive electrode coating area is equivalent to the Fe content ratio in that coating area. The average Fe ion mass percentage at the sampling points in the third positive electrode coating area is measured using ICP. The atomic percentage of Fe in LMFP is removed, and the mass percentage d of LMFP is calculated.

[0168] The method for measuring the proportion of silicon in the third negative electrode coating region to the total mass of elements in the third negative electrode coating region, s', is as follows (the measurement methods for s2' and s3' are the same as for s'): After partitioning, ICP is used to test the proportion of Si in the third negative electrode coating region.
