The invention relates to the technical field of
lithium batteries, and discloses a
lithium battery cell with internal
short circuit self-open
circuit protection. Comprising a shell, an
electrode assembly arranged in the shell,
electrolyte, a positive pole and a negative pole, the positive pole and the negative pole are electrically connected with a positive
electrode and a negative
electrode of the electrode
assembly respectively, and the electrode
assembly comprises a positive plate, a negative plate and a diaphragm spaced between the positive plate and the negative plate; the battery is characterized in that a temperature or current sensitive fusible or high-resistance variable structure is integrated on the
current collector of the positive plate and / or the negative plate, and the structure can automatically form a physical open circuit or a high-impedance area on a current path where a fault point is located when local temperature rise or sudden current increase exceeds a preset threshold value due to internal
short circuit of the
battery cell; therefore, short-circuit current is rapidly inhibited and
thermal runaway spreading is prevented. By constructing a fuse or current gate type
intrinsic safety structure in the
current collector, the problems that when an existing
lithium battery is subjected to internal
short circuit (such as diaphragm failure,
metal dendritic
crystal puncture,
impurity mixing and the like), a short circuit loop cannot be automatically
cut off, so that current is intensively released, the temperature is sharply increased, and the service life of the
lithium battery is influenced are solved. And the major safety problems of
thermal runaway, fire and even explosion are further caused.
