Description

Power storage module and battery pack
Technical Field
Embodiments of the present invention relate to an electricity storage module and a battery pack.
Background
Batteries such as primary batteries and secondary batteries generally include: an electrode group provided with a positive electrode and a negative electrode; an exterior member that houses the electrode group; and a positive electrode terminal and a negative electrode terminal provided on the exterior member.
As exterior members, metal cans and laminate film containers have been put into practical use. The metal can is obtained by deep drawing a metal plate such as aluminum. In order to manufacture a can by deep drawing, the metal plate needs to have a certain thickness, which hinders the thinning of the exterior member and causes a loss in volume capacity. For example, when an outer can having a thickness of 0.5mm is applied to a battery having a thickness of 13mm, the ratio of the total thickness of the outer can to the thickness of the battery is about 7.7%. Further, since the outer can has high rigidity and lacks flexibility, a gap is likely to be formed between the inner wall of the outer can and the electrode group. Therefore, a gap may be formed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode of the electrode group, and charge/discharge cycle performance may be deteriorated. Further, when an excessive force is applied to the vicinity of the welded portion, the outer can having high rigidity is likely to have defects such as cracks.
In order to eliminate the above problem, it is being studied to reduce the thickness of the metal can.
However, when the thickness of the metal can is reduced, the metal can is easily deformed by a force applied to the metal can at the time of welding when a member such as a bus bar is welded to the positive electrode terminal or the negative electrode terminal. As a result, the position of the member relative to the positive electrode terminal or the negative electrode terminal is displaced, and it is difficult to weld the member at a predetermined position of the positive electrode terminal and the negative electrode terminal.

Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments will be described with reference to the drawings. In addition, the same reference numerals are given to the common components in the embodiments, and redundant description is omitted. The drawings are schematic views for explaining the embodiments and facilitating understanding thereof, and the shapes, dimensions, proportions, and the like thereof are different from those of actual devices, and these can be appropriately changed in design with reference to the following description and known techniques.
[ 1 st embodiment ]
According to embodiment 1, there is provided a battery including a flat electrode group, an exterior member, and a terminal portion. The flat electrode group includes a positive electrode, a positive electrode collector tab electrically connected to the positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a negative electrode collector tab electrically connected to the negative electrode. The positive electrode collector sheet wound in a flat shape is positioned on the 1 st end face, and the negative electrode collector sheet wound in a flat shape is positioned on the 2 nd end face. The exterior member includes a 1 st exterior portion made of stainless steel having a bottomed square tube shape and a flange portion at an opening portion, and a 2 nd exterior portion made of stainless steel. The electrode group is housed in a space formed by welding the flange portion of the 1 st exterior portion and the 2 nd exterior portion. The 1 st end surface and the 2 nd end surface of the electrode group face the inner surface of the side wall of the 1 st exterior portion. The terminal portion includes a through hole opened in a side wall of the 1 st exterior portion, and an external terminal electrically connected to the positive electrode or the negative electrode. The external terminal includes a head portion and a shaft portion protruding from the head portion. The head portion protrudes toward the outside of the 1 st housing portion. The shaft portion is caulked and fixed to the through hole of the 1 st exterior portion. The head portion of the external terminal is provided with a pair of tapered portions. The bus bar is fixed to the tapered portion.
The power storage module according to embodiment 1 will be described with reference to fig. 1 to 10.
The power storage module 100 includes a battery and a bus bar. The cell shown in figure 1 is a non-aqueous dielectric cell. The battery includes a package member 1, an electrode group 2, a positive terminal portion 3, a negative terminal portion 4, and a nonaqueous electrolyte medium (not shown).
As shown in fig. 1 to 3, the exterior member 1 includes a 1 st exterior portion 5 and a 2 nd exterior portion 6. The 1 st exterior part 5 is a bottomed rectangular cylindrical container made of stainless steel, and has a flange part 5b at an opening part 5 a. As shown in fig. 1, 2, and 4, a recess projecting toward the inside of the container is provided in the vicinity of the center of a corner portion of the 1 st exterior portion 5 connecting the short side wall and the bottom, and the bottom of the recess is an inclined surface 5 c. The 1 st exterior portion 5 has a depth equal to or less than the size of the opening 5a (the maximum length of a portion that becomes the opening area). More preferably, the 1 st exterior portion 5 has a depth equal to or less than the short side of the portion having the opening area (for example, as shown in fig. 1). The 1 st outer cover 5 is made of, for example, a stainless steel plate by shallow drawing. On the other hand, the 2 nd exterior part 6 is a rectangular plate made of stainless steel. The electrode group 2 is housed in a space formed by welding the flange portion 5b of the 1 st exterior portion 5 to the four sides of the 2 nd exterior portion 6. The welding is, for example, resistance seam welding. Resistance seam welding can achieve higher gas tightness and heat resistance at lower cost than laser welding.
As shown in fig. 5, the electrode group 2 has a flat shape. As shown in fig. 6, the electrode group 2 includes a positive electrode 7, a negative electrode 8, and a separator 9 disposed between the positive electrode 7 and the negative electrode 8. The positive electrode 7 includes: a positive electrode current collector in a band shape formed of, for example, foil; a positive electrode current collector tab 7a formed at one end of the positive electrode current collector parallel to the long side; and a positive electrode material layer (positive electrode active material-containing layer) 7b formed on the positive electrode current collector excluding at least the portion of the positive electrode current collector tab 7 a. On the other hand, the negative electrode 8 includes: a negative electrode current collector in a band shape formed of, for example, foil; a negative electrode current collector tab 8a formed at one end of the negative electrode current collector parallel to the long side; and a negative electrode material layer (negative electrode active material-containing layer) 8b formed on the negative electrode current collector except for at least the portion of the negative electrode current collector tab 8 a. In the electrode group 2, the positive electrode 7b of the positive electrode 7 and the negative electrode 8b of the negative electrode 8 are opposed to each other with the separator 9 interposed therebetween, and the positive electrode 7, the separator 9, and the negative electrode 8 are wound in a flat shape such that the positive electrode current collecting tab 7a protrudes from the negative electrode 8 and the separator 9 on one side of the winding shaft and the negative electrode current collecting tab 8a protrudes from the positive electrode 7 and the separator 9 on the other side. Therefore, in the electrode group 2, the positive electrode current collecting tab 7a wound in a flat spiral shape is positioned on the 1 st end surface perpendicular to the winding axis. Further, negative electrode current collecting tab 8a wound in a flat spiral shape is positioned on the 2 nd end surface perpendicular to the winding axis. The insulating sheet (not shown) covers the outermost periphery of the electrode group 2 except for the positive electrode current collecting tab 7a and the negative electrode current collecting tab 8 a. The electrode group 2 holds a nonaqueous electrolyte medium (not shown).
The spare positive electrode lead 11 (1 st positive electrode lead) is formed by bending a conductive plate into a U-shape, and layers of the positive electrode current collecting tab 7a are closely attached to each other with portions (near the center) of the positive electrode current collecting tab 7a other than bent portions at both ends sandwiched therebetween. The positive electrode current collecting tab 7a and the backup positive electrode lead 11 are integrated by welding, and thereby the positive electrode 7 is electrically connected to the backup positive electrode lead 11 via the positive electrode current collecting tab 7 a. The welding is performed, for example, by ultrasonic welding.
The spare negative electrode lead 12 (1 st negative electrode lead) is formed by bending a conductive plate into a U-shape, and the layers of the negative electrode current collecting tab 8a are closely attached to each other with the portions (near the center) of the negative electrode current collecting tab 8a other than the bent portions at both ends sandwiched therebetween. The negative electrode current collecting tab 8a and the spare negative electrode lead 12 are integrated by welding, and thereby the negative electrode 8 is electrically connected to the spare negative electrode lead 12 via the negative electrode current collecting tab 8 a. The welding is performed, for example, by ultrasonic welding.
The positive electrode terminal portion 3 and the negative electrode terminal portion 4 will be explained. The positive terminal portion 3 and the negative terminal portion 4 have the same structure, and therefore, the positive terminal portion 3 will be described as an example. Fig. 7 is a perspective view showing a portion where a bus bar is attached to the head of the positive terminal portion 3 of the battery shown in fig. 1. Fig. 8 is a cross-sectional view of the battery shown in fig. 1, taken along the axial direction of the positive electrode external terminal 14 (the direction indicated by line VIII-VIII in fig. 7).
As shown in fig. 8, the positive terminal portion 3 includes a through hole 13 opened in the inclined surface 5c of the 1 st exterior portion 5, a positive electrode external terminal 14, a positive electrode insulating gasket 15, and a positive electrode insulating plate (1 st positive electrode insulating member) 16.
The 1 st through hole 13 is formed in the inclined surface 5c of the 1 st housing part 5 by burring, and an upright portion serving as a side wall protrudes inward of the 1 st housing part 5.
As shown in fig. 8, the positive electrode external terminal 14 includes: a head portion 17 having a substantially truncated pyramid shape and having a long side in the short side direction of the 1 st exterior portion 5; and a cylindrical shaft portion 18. As shown in fig. 7, the head 17 has: a rectangular top surface 17 a; the 1 st and 2 nd inclined surfaces 17b and 17c connected to the long sides of the top surface 17a facing each other; and four-sided tapered portions 17d provided on the lower surface with respect to the top surface 17 a. A cylindrical shaft portion 18 extends from the lower surface of the head portion 17. The positive electrode external terminal 14 is formed of a conductive material such as aluminum or an aluminum alloy.
Since the tapered portions 17d are provided on the respective sides of the lower surface of the head portion 17, the tapered portions provided on the facing short sides and the tapered portions provided on the facing long sides are formed as a pair. The two pairs of tapered portions 17d are each inclined such that the cross-sectional area of the head portion 17 decreases downward. Thus, the two pairs of tapered portions 17d constitute tapered portions in a quadrangular pyramid shape.
The positive electrode external terminal 14 has a rectangular top surface 17a and 1 st and 2 nd inclined surfaces 17b and 17c connected to two opposite sides of the top surface, and thus can change the welding direction by selecting any one of the three surfaces as a welding surface.
As shown in fig. 8, the positive electrode insulating gasket 15 is a cylindrical body (cylindrical portion) having a flange portion 15a at one open end. As shown in fig. 8, the cylindrical portion of the positive electrode insulating gasket 15 is inserted into the through hole 13, and the flange portion 15a is disposed on the outer periphery of the through hole 13 on the outer surface of the 1 st outer housing portion 5. The positive electrode insulating gasket 15 is made of a resin such as a fluororesin, a fluororubber, a polyphenylene sulfide resin (PPS resin), a polyether ether ketone resin (PEEK resin), a polypropylene resin (PP resin), and a polybutylene terephthalate resin (PBT resin).
As shown in fig. 8, the positive electrode insulating plate (1 st positive electrode insulating member) 16 is a rectangular insulating plate having through holes. The positive electrode insulating plate 16 is disposed on the outer surface 5c of the 1 st exterior portion 5. As shown in fig. 8, the flange portion 15a of the positive electrode insulating gasket 15 is inserted into the through hole of the positive electrode insulating plate 16.
As shown in fig. 9, the bus bar 200 has: a flat plate-like 1 st connecting portion 201 having a through hole 201 a; a 2 nd connecting part 202 rising almost vertically from one side of the 1 st connecting part 201 and bent along a short side surface of the 1 st exterior part 5; and a rectangular notch 203 provided near the center of the long side of the 2 nd connecting portion 202. As shown in fig. 8, the end surface 204 of the notch portion 203 has a tapered shape that is inclined so that the opening area decreases as going downward (toward the positive electrode insulating plate 16). The tapered shape of the end surface 204 of the cutout portion 203 corresponds to the shape of the tapered portion 17 d. The cutout portion 203 of the bus bar 200 is inserted into the tapered portion 17d of the head portion 17 of the positive electrode external terminal 14, and as shown in fig. 8, an end surface 204 of the cutout portion 203 is fitted into the tapered portion 17 d. The portion where the tapered portion 17d and the end surface 204 of the cutout portion 203 contact each other is joined by, for example, welding, whereby the positive electrode external terminal 14 and the bus bar 200 are electrically connected. The 1 st connection part 201 can be used for electrical connection with other batteries and the like. Examples of the welding method include laser welding, resistance welding, and ultrasonic welding.
The positive terminal portion 3 may further include a positive terminal lead 19. The positive electrode terminal lead 19 is a conductive plate having a through hole 19 a.
When the positive terminal portion 3 includes the positive terminal lead 19 (No. 2 positive lead), the positive terminal portion 3 may further include the positive insulation reinforcing member 20. As shown in FIG. 10, the positive electrode insulation reinforcing member 20 reinforces the short side wall including the inclined surface 5c of the 1 st exterior portion 5, and has a cross section having a substantially rectangular shape
Figure BDA0002387709380000071
A word shape. That is, the positive electrode insulation reinforcing member 20 is formed by integrating a rectangular bottom plate 20a, a side plate 20b vertically rising from the long side of the bottom plate 20a, an inclined plate 20c continuous with the long side of the side plate 20b, and an upper plate 20d horizontally extending from the long side of the inclined plate 20 c. The inclined plate 20c has a recess 20 e. The recess 20e is provided with a through hole 20 f. The bottom plate 20a and the side plate 20b of the positive electrode insulating/reinforcing member 20 cover the corner portion formed by the 2 nd exterior part 6 and the 1 st exterior part 5. The shaft portion 18 of the positive electrode external terminal 14 is inserted into the through hole 20f of the inclined plate 20 c. The lower end surface of the positive electrode insulating gasket 15 and the end surface of the side wall of the through hole 13 of the 1 st exterior part 5 are in contact with the surface of the recess 20e of the inclined plate 20 c. Further, the rear surface of the recess 20e of the inclined plate 20c is in contact with the positive terminal lead 19. Further, the upper plate 20d contacts the bottom surface of the 1 st housing portion 5.
With the above arrangement, the positive electrode insulating and reinforcing member 20 can insulate the 1 st exterior portion 5 from the positive electrode terminal lead 19, and can reinforce the short side of the exterior member, particularly the vicinity of the short side wall including the inclined surface 5c of the 1 st exterior portion 5.
The shaft portion 18 of the positive electrode external terminal 14 is inserted into the positive electrode insulating gasket 15, the through hole 20f of the positive electrode insulating reinforcing member 20, and the through hole 19a of the positive electrode terminal lead 19, and then plastically deformed by caulking. As a result, these components are integrated, and the positive electrode external terminal 14 is electrically connected to the positive electrode terminal lead 19. Therefore, the positive electrode external terminal 14 also functions as a rivet. Further, the boundary between the end face of the shaft portion 18 of the positive electrode external terminal 14 and the through hole 19a of the positive electrode terminal lead 19 may be welded by laser or the like, thereby achieving stronger connection and improvement in conductivity.
The positive intermediate lead 21 (3 rd positive lead) is formed by bending a rectangular or belt-shaped conductive plate into a substantially U shape. The positive electrode intermediate lead 21 is disposed between the spare positive electrode lead 11 and the positive electrode terminal lead 19. One outer surface of the positive intermediate lead 21 is fixed to the spare positive lead 11 by, for example, welding, and the other outer surface is fixed to the positive terminal lead 19 by, for example, welding. With this configuration, the spare positive electrode lead 11, the positive electrode intermediate lead 21, and the positive electrode terminal lead 19 are electrically connected. Examples of the welding method include laser welding, resistance welding, and ultrasonic welding.
Negative terminal portion 4 has the same structure as positive terminal portion 3. That is, the negative terminal portion 4 includes a through hole opened on the inclined surface 5c of the 1 st exterior portion 5, a negative external terminal, a negative insulating gasket, and a negative insulating plate (1 st negative insulating member). The negative terminal portion 4 may further include a negative terminal lead (No. 2 negative lead). The negative electrode terminal lead is a conductive plate having a through hole. In the case where the negative terminal portion 4 includes a negative terminal lead, the negative terminal portion 4 may be further provided with a negative insulation reinforcing member. A negative electrode intermediate lead (3 rd negative electrode lead) is disposed between the spare negative electrode lead and the negative electrode terminal lead. These components have the same structure as that described in the positive terminal portion 3. For example, the bus bar having the structure shown in fig. 9 is fitted to the head portion of the negative external terminal. That is, the tapered portion of the head portion of the negative external terminal is inserted into the cutout portion of the bus bar, and the cutout portion is fitted to the tapered portion. The portion where the tapered portion and the end surface of the cutout portion contact each other is joined, for example, by welding, whereby the negative electrode external terminal is electrically connected to the bus bar.
The electrode group 2 is housed in the 1 st exterior portion 5 such that the 1 st end surface 7a faces the positive terminal portion 3 and the 2 nd end surface 8a faces the negative terminal portion 4. Therefore, the plane intersecting the 1 st end face 7a and the 2 nd end face 8a of the electrode group 2 faces the bottom face in the 1 st housing portion 5, and the curved face intersecting the 1 st end face 7a and the 2 nd end face 8a faces the long-side face in the 1 st housing portion 5.
Gaps are formed between the corner portions of the 1 st exterior portion 5 connecting the short side walls and the bottom portion and the 1 st end surface 7a and between the corner portions and the 2 nd end surface 8a of the electrode group 2, respectively. By providing a recess extending inward at the corner of the 1 st housing part 5 connecting the short side wall and the bottom and forming the bottom of the recess as the inclined surface 5c, the dead space in the 1 st housing part 5 is reduced, and therefore, the volumetric energy density of the battery can be increased. Further, by disposing the positive terminal portion 3 and the negative terminal portion 4 on the inclined surface 5c, the area for disposing the terminal portions can be increased as compared with the case where the positive terminal portion 3 and the negative terminal portion 4 are disposed on the short-side surface having no inclined surface. Therefore, the diameters of the shaft portion 18 of the positive electrode external terminal 14 and the shaft portion of the negative electrode external terminal can be increased, and thus a large current (high-rate current) can flow with low resistance.
The 2 nd exterior part 6 functions as a lid of the 1 st exterior part 5. The electrode group 2 is sealed in the exterior member 1 by welding the flange 5b of the 1 st exterior portion 5 to the four sides of the 2 nd exterior portion 6.
The power storage module shown in fig. 1 to 10 described above includes an exterior member that houses the electrode group in a space formed by welding the 1 st exterior portion made of stainless steel having the flange portion at the opening portion and the 2 nd exterior portion made of stainless steel. Since the 1 st and 2 nd exterior parts are made of stainless steel, high strength can be maintained even when the thicknesses of the 1 st and 2 nd exterior parts are reduced. As a result, the flexibility of the exterior member can be improved, and therefore, the electrode group can be easily restrained by pressure reduction sealing, application of a load from the outside of the exterior member, or the like. This makes it easy to realize an assembled battery that can stabilize the inter-electrode distance of the electrode group to reduce the resistance and has vibration resistance and impact resistance. Further, when the flexibility of the 1 st and 2 nd exterior parts is high, the distance from the inner surfaces of the 1 st and 2 nd exterior parts to the electrode group is easily shortened, and therefore, the heat dissipation property of the battery can be improved.
The stainless steel 1 st and 2 nd exterior parts can be easily welded and can be sealed by inexpensive resistance seam welding. Therefore, an exterior member having high gas tightness can be realized at low cost as compared with a laminate film container. In addition, the heat resistance of the exterior member can be improved. For example, SUS304 has a melting point of 1400 ℃ and Al has a melting point of 650 ℃.
Further, by providing the tapered portion at the head portion of the external terminal, it is easy to fix a member such as a bus bar to the head portion. Therefore, when a member such as a bus bar is welded to the head portion of the external terminal, the external terminal can be easily positioned and can be welded at a desired position with high strength. Thus, the reliability of the battery can be further improved.
For example, as illustrated in fig. 8, since the tapered end surface 204 of the cutout portion 203 of the bus bar 200 is fitted to the tapered portion 17d of the quadrangular pyramid shape of the lower surface of the head portion 17, positioning of the bus bar 200 is facilitated, and the bus bar 200 is welded at a predetermined position of the top surface 17a of the head portion 17 with high strength. As a result, the reliability of the battery can be improved.
Further, since a new insulating member can be fixed between the tapered portion of the head portion of the external terminal and the 1 st exterior portion, short-circuiting and the like due to contact of the 1 st exterior portion with another battery and the like can be avoided.
Instead of being provided on all the sides of the lower surface of the head portion of the external terminal, the paired tapered portions may be provided only on the short sides or only on the long sides. The paired tapered portions need not be provided over the entire sides, but may be in a point-symmetric relationship with each other. The paired tapered portions are not limited to one set, and may be provided in plural sets.
Instead of providing the tapered portion on the lower surface of the head portion, the side surface of the head portion may be tapered. Fig. 11 to 16 show this example.
Fig. 11 and 12 show an example in which the head portion has a truncated quadrangular pyramid shape (pyramid shape). As shown in fig. 11, the head portion 117 of the positive terminal portion and/or the negative terminal portion has a quadrangular frustum shape (pyramid shape). That is, the top surface 117a of the head portion 117 is a rectangular plane. The four side surfaces 117b, 117c, 117d, and 117e are tapered surfaces, and are inclined such that the cross-sectional area of the head portion increases as the head portion moves downward. The four side surfaces 117b, 117c, 117d, and 117e function as tapered portions.

As shown in fig. 13, the inner surface of the through-hole 303 has a tapered shape that is inclined so that the opening area increases as going downward (the insulating plate 116 side). The tapered shape of the inner surface of the through hole 303 corresponds to the shape of the tapered portions 117b, 117c, 117d, and 117e of the head portion 117. The through-holes 303 of the bus bar 300 are inserted into the tapered portions 117b to 117e of the head portion 117, and as shown in fig. 12, the through-holes 303 are fitted into the tapered portions 117b to 117 e. The portions of the tapered portions 117b to 117e that contact the inner surface of the through-hole 303 are joined by, for example, welding, whereby the positive electrode external terminal and/or the negative electrode external terminal are electrically connected to the bus bar. The 1 st connection portion 301 can be used for electrical connection with other batteries and the like. Examples of the welding method include laser welding, resistance welding, and ultrasonic welding. The 1 st insulating member 116 is disposed between the inclined surface 5C of the 1 st housing part 5, the lower surface of the head part 117, and the 2 nd connecting part 302 of the bus bar 300, and insulates them.
As shown in fig. 14 and 15, the bus bar 400 includes: a flat plate-like first connection portion 401; a 2 nd connecting part 402 rising almost perpendicularly from one side of the 1 st connecting part 401 and bent along the short side surface of the 1 st housing part 5; and a rectangular notch 403 provided near the center of the long side of the 2 nd connecting portion 402. Three end surfaces of the notch 403 have a tapered shape inclined so that the opening area increases downward (toward the insulating plate 116). The tapered shapes of the three end surfaces of the cutout 403 correspond to the shapes of the tapered portions 117b, 117c, 117d, and 117e of the head portion 117. The cutout portion 403 of the bus bar 400 is inserted into the tapered portions 117b, 117c, and 117d of the head portion 117, and as shown in fig. 14 and 15, the cutout portion 403 is fitted into the tapered portions 117b, 117c, and 117 d. The portions of the tapered portions 117b, 117c, and 117d in contact with the end surfaces of the cutout portions 403 are joined by, for example, welding, whereby the positive electrode external terminal and/or the negative electrode external terminal are electrically connected to the bus bar. The 1 st connection part 401 can be used for electrical connection with other batteries or the like. Examples of the welding method include laser welding, resistance welding, and ultrasonic welding. The 1 st insulating member 116 is disposed between the inclined surface 5C of the 1 st housing part 5, the lower surface of the head part 117, and the 2 nd connecting part 402 of the bus bar 400, and insulates them.
Fig. 16 shows an example in which the head portion has a truncated cone shape. As shown in fig. 16, the head 217 of the positive terminal portion and/or the negative terminal portion has a truncated cone shape. That is, the top surface 217a of the head 217 is a circular flat surface. The side circumferential surface 217b is a tapered surface, and is inclined such that the cross-sectional area of the head portion increases as the head portion moves downward. The side circumferential surface 217b functions as a tapered portion.
As shown in fig. 16, the bus bar 500 has: a 1 st connecting portion 501 in a flat plate shape; a 2 nd connecting part 502 rising almost vertically from one side of the 1 st connecting part 501 and bent along the short side surface of the 1 st exterior part 5; and a circular through hole 503 provided in the 2 nd connecting portion 502. The inner peripheral surface of the through hole 503 has a tapered shape that is inclined so that the opening area increases downward (toward the insulating plate 116). The tapered shape of the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 503 corresponds to the shape of the tapered portion 217b of the head portion 217. The through hole 503 of the bus bar 500 is inserted into the tapered portion 217b of the head portion 217, and as shown in fig. 16, the through hole 503 is fitted into the tapered portion 217 b. The portion of the tapered portion 217b in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 503 is joined by, for example, welding, whereby the positive electrode external terminal and/or the negative electrode external terminal is electrically connected to the bus bar. The 1 st connecting portion 501 can be used for electrical connection with other batteries or the like. Examples of the welding method include laser welding, resistance welding, and ultrasonic welding. The 1 st insulating member 116 is disposed between the inclined surface 5C of the 1 st housing part 5, the lower surface of the head 217, and the 2 nd connecting part 502 of the bus bar 500, and insulates them.
The material constituting the bus bar is not particularly limited, and includes, for example, aluminum, an aluminum alloy, and the like.
The tapered portion may be provided to only one of the positive electrode external terminal and the negative electrode external terminal, or may be provided to both of the positive electrode external terminal and the negative electrode external terminal. By providing the tapered portions on both the positive electrode external terminal and the negative electrode external terminal, the reliability of the battery can be further improved.
The plate thicknesses of the 1 st exterior part and the 2 nd exterior part are preferably in the range of 0.02mm to 0.3 mm. By setting the range, contradictory properties such as mechanical strength and flexibility can be achieved at the same time. A more preferable range of the plate thickness is 0.05mm to 0.15 mm.
The inclined portion is not limited to the vicinity of the central portion of the short side of the exterior member, and may extend over the entire short side of the exterior member.
The flat plate illustrated in fig. 3 can be used for the 2 nd exterior portion, but a member having a flange portion in the opening portion may be used instead of the flat plate. An example of such a structure is the same as the 1 st exterior part.
The exterior member may further include a safety valve or the like, and may release the pressure inside the battery when the internal pressure of the battery increases to a predetermined value or more.
The spare positive electrode lead and the spare negative electrode lead are not limited to the U-shaped conductive plate, and a conductive flat plate may be used. In addition, the spare positive electrode lead or the spare negative electrode lead, or both of them may not be used.
As described above, according to the power storage module of embodiment 1, since the tapered portion is provided at the head portion of the external terminal and the bus bar is fixed to the tapered portion, high strength and reliability can be obtained even when the thicknesses of the 1 st and 2 nd external parts are reduced. Therefore, it is possible to provide a power storage module having excellent flexibility and heat dissipation properties and high strength and reliability.
The battery of the power storage module according to the embodiment may be a primary battery or a secondary battery. An example of the battery according to the embodiment is a lithium ion secondary battery.
The 1 st positive electrode lead and the 1 st negative electrode lead may be formed of, for example, aluminum, an aluminum alloy material, copper, nickel-plated copper, or the like. In order to reduce the contact resistance, the material of the lead is preferably the same as that of the positive electrode current collector or the negative electrode current collector that is likely to be electrically connected to the lead.
The 1 st positive electrode insulating member, the 1 st negative electrode insulating member, and the positive and negative electrode insulating reinforcing members are made of thermoplastic resin such as tetrafluoroethylene perfluoroalkyl vinyl ether copolymer (PFA), polypropylene (PP), Polyethylene (PE), nylon, polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), polyethylene terephthalate (PET), Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPs), and polyether ether ketone (PEEK), for example.
Hereinafter, the positive electrode, the negative electrode, the separator, and the nonaqueous medium included in the battery of the power storage module according to the embodiment will be described.
1) Positive electrode
The positive electrode can include, for example, a positive electrode current collector, a positive electrode material layer held by the positive electrode current collector, and a positive electrode current collector sheet. The positive electrode material layer can include, for example, a positive electrode active material, a conductive agent, and a binder.
As the positive electrode active material, for example, an oxide or a sulfide can be used. Examples of the oxide and sulfide include lithium-occluding manganese dioxide (MnO)2) Iron oxide, copper oxide, nickel oxide, lithium manganese composite oxide (e.g., Li)xMn2O4Or LixMnO2) Lithium nickel composite oxide (e.g., Li)xNiO2) Lithium cobalt composite oxide (e.g., Li)xCoO2) Lithium nickel cobalt complex oxide (e.g., LiNi)1-yCoyO2) Lithium manganese cobalt composite oxide (e.g., Li)xMnyCo1-yO2) Lithium manganese nickel composite oxide having spinel structure (e.g., Li)xMn2-yNiyO4) Lithium phosphate compound having olivine structure (e.g., Li)xFePO4、LixFe1- yMnyPO4、LixCoPO4Iron (Fe) sulfate2(SO4)3) Vanadium oxide (e.g. V)2O5) And lithium nickel cobalt manganese composite oxides. In the chemical formula, x is more than 0 and less than or equal to 1, and y is more than 0 and less than or equal to 1. These compounds may be used alone or in combination as an active material.
The binder is combined to bind the active material to the current collector. Examples of the binder include Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF), and fluororubber.
In order to improve the current collecting performance and suppress the contact resistance between the active material and the current collector, a conductive agent is combined as necessary. Examples of the conductive agent include carbonaceous materials such as acetylene black, carbon black, and graphite.
In the positive electrode material layer, the positive electrode active material and the binder are preferably blended in a proportion of 80 mass% to 98 mass% and 2 mass% to 20 mass%, respectively.
By setting the amount of the binder to 2 mass% or more, sufficient electrode strength can be obtained. Further, by making the content of the insulating material to 20 mass% or less, the amount of the insulating material to be combined in the electrode can be reduced, and the internal resistance can be reduced.
When the conductive agent is added, the positive electrode active material, the binder, and the conductive agent are preferably combined in a proportion of 77 mass% to 95 mass%, 2 mass% to 20 mass%, and 3 mass% to 15 mass%, respectively. The above-described effects can be exhibited by setting the amount of the conductive agent to 3 mass% or more. Further, by setting the content to 15 mass% or less, the decomposition of the nonaqueous electrolyte on the surface of the positive electrode conductive agent during high-temperature storage can be reduced.
The positive electrode current collector is preferably an aluminum foil or an aluminum alloy foil containing at least one element selected from Mg, Ti, Zn, Ni, Cr, Mn, Fe, Cu, and Si.
The positive electrode current collector is preferably integrated with the positive electrode current collecting tab. Alternatively, the positive electrode current collector may be separate from the positive electrode current collector tab.
2) Negative electrode
The negative electrode can include, for example, a negative electrode current collector, a negative electrode material layer held by the negative electrode current collector, and a negative electrode current collector sheet. The anode material layer can include, for example, an anode active material, a conductive agent, and a binder.
As the negative electrode active material, for example, a metal oxide, a metal nitride, an alloy, carbon, or the like, which can occlude and release lithium ions, can be used. Preferably will be able to be above 0.4V (for Li/Li)+) The negative electrode active material is a material that stores and releases lithium ions at a high potential.
A conductive agent is combined to improve current collecting performance and suppress contact resistance between the negative electrode active material and the current collector. Examples of the conductive agent include carbonaceous materials such as acetylene black, carbon black, and graphite.
A binder is combined to fill the gaps between the dispersed negative electrode active material and to bind the negative electrode active material to the current collector. Examples of the binder include Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF), fluororubber, and styrene butadiene rubber.
The active material, the conductive agent, and the binder in the negative electrode material layer are preferably combined at a ratio of 68 mass% to 96 mass%, 2 mass% to 30 mass%, and 2 mass% to 30 mass%, respectively. By setting the amount of the conductive agent to 2 mass% or more, the current collecting performance of the negative electrode layer can be improved. In addition, when the amount of the binder is 2% by mass or more, the adhesion between the negative electrode material layer and the current collector can be sufficiently exhibited, and excellent cycle characteristics can be expected. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of achieving a higher capacity, the conductive agent and the binder are preferably 28 mass% or less, respectively.
As the current collector, a material electrochemically stable at the storage potential and the release potential of lithium of the negative electrode active material is used. The current collector is preferably made of copper, nickel, stainless steel, aluminum, or an aluminum alloy containing at least one element selected from Mg, Ti, Zn, Mn, Fe, Cu, and Si. The thickness of the current collector is preferably in the range of 5 to 20 μm. The current collector having such a thickness can balance the strength of the negative electrode and the weight reduction.
The negative electrode current collector is preferably integrated with the negative electrode current collecting tab. Alternatively, the negative electrode current collector may be separate from the negative electrode current collecting tab.
For example, the negative electrode is produced as follows: the negative electrode active material, the binder, and the conductive agent are suspended in a common solvent to prepare a slurry, and the slurry is applied to a current collector, dried to form a negative electrode material layer, and then pressed. The negative electrode can also be produced as follows: the negative electrode active material, the binder, and the conductive agent are formed into particles to form a negative electrode material layer, and the negative electrode material layer is disposed on the current collector.
3) Diaphragm
The separator may be formed of a porous film containing polyethylene, polypropylene, cellulose, or polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF), or a synthetic resin nonwoven fabric, for example. Among them, a porous film made of polyethylene or polypropylene can be melted at a certain temperature to cut off a current, and thus safety can be improved.
4) Electrolyte solution
As the electrolytic solution, for example, a nonaqueous electrolyte can be used.
The nonaqueous electrolyte may be, for example, a liquid nonaqueous electrolyte prepared by dissolving an electrolyte in an organic solvent, or a gel-like nonaqueous electrolyte obtained by compounding a liquid electrolyte with a polymer material.
The liquid nonaqueous electrolyte preferably has an electrolyte dissolved in an organic solvent at a concentration of 0.5 mol/L to 2.5 mol/L.
Examples of the electrolyte dissolved in the organic solvent include lithium perchlorate (LiClO)4) Lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF)6) Lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF)4) Lithium arsenic hexafluoride (LiAsF)6) Lithium trifluoromethanesulfonate (LiCF)3SO3) And lithium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide [ LiN (CF)3SO2)2]Such lithium salts, and mixtures of these. The electrolyte is preferably an electrolyte that is difficult to oxidize even at a high potential, and most preferably LiPF 6.
Examples of the organic solvent include: cyclic carbonates such as Propylene Carbonate (PC), Ethylene Carbonate (EC), and vinylene carbonate; chain carbonates such as diethyl carbonate (DEC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), and ethyl methyl carbonate (MEC); cyclic ethers such as Tetrahydrofuran (THF), 2-methyltetrahydrofuran (2MeTHF) and Dioxolane (DOX); chain ethers such as Dimethoxyethane (DME) and Diethoxyethane (DEE); gamma-butyrolactone (GBL), Acetonitrile (AN), and Sulfolane (SL). These organic solvents may be used alone or as a mixed solvent.
Examples of the polymer material include polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF), Polyacrylonitrile (PAN), and polyethylene oxide (PEO).
Alternatively, as the nonaqueous electrolyte, an ambient temperature molten salt (ionic melt) containing lithium ions, a polymer solid electrolyte, an inorganic solid electrolyte, or the like may be used.
The normal temperature molten salt (ionic melt) is a compound that can exist as a liquid at normal temperature (15 to 25 ℃) in an organic salt formed by a combination of an organic cation and an anion. The ambient temperature molten salt includes an ambient temperature molten salt in which a monomer exists as a liquid, an ambient temperature molten salt which becomes a liquid by being mixed with an electrolyte, and an ambient temperature molten salt which becomes a liquid by being dissolved in an organic solvent. In general, an ambient temperature molten salt used for a nonaqueous electrolyte battery has a melting point of 25 ℃ or lower. In addition, the organic cation generally has a quaternary ammonium backbone.
According to the power storage module of the embodiment described above, since the bus bar is fixed to the tapered portion provided at the head portion of the external terminal, reliability can be improved.
The terminal portion may be applied to both the positive terminal portion and the negative terminal portion, but may be applied to either the positive terminal portion or the negative terminal portion.
