本申请中,例如,在第一类电芯和第二类电芯都为锂离子电池的情况下,第一类电芯和第二类电芯在相同的SOH和SOC的状态下,所述第一电芯的第一负极极片的总充电容量与所述第二电芯的第二负极极片的总充电容量之比在上述范围内时,可以尽可能地使第一类电芯和第二类电芯的负极极片可嵌入锂离子的能力(可嵌入锂离子量)一致,从而能够使得不同类型的化学体系的电芯在串联使用过程中的寿命衰减速率基本一致,从而显著提升电池组的整体循环使用寿命。
在本申请的一些实施方式中,在所述第一电芯的电池健康状态SOH与所述第二电芯的SOH相同、且所述第一电芯的荷电状态SOC与所述第二电芯的SOC相同的情况下,所述第一负极极片的总充电容量与所述第二负极极片的总充电容量之比为0.9至1.1。本申请中,当第一电芯的第一负极极片的总充电容量与所述第二电芯的第二负极极片的总充电容量之比在上述范围内时,可以进一步地提高第一类电芯和第二类电芯的负极极片可嵌入锂离子的能力(可嵌入锂离子量)一致,从而能够使得不同类型的化学体系的电芯在串联使用过程中的寿命衰减速率一致性,从而进一步提升电池组的整体循环使用寿命。

本申请中,负极极片的单位面积涂布质量指的是在单位面积的负极集流体单侧表面设置的负极膜层的质量。本申请中,当进一步控制第一负极极片的单位面积涂布质量与第二负极极片的单位面积涂布质量之比在上述范围内时,由于负极石墨的用量相当,可嵌入锂离子的活性位点数量相当,锂离子成膜消耗和活性物质的损失速率相当,电芯的老化速率比较接近,因而可进一步提高电池组综合性能的一致性。
在本申请的一些实施方式中,所述第一负极极片的单位面积涂布质量和所述第二负极极片的单位面积涂布质量各自独立地为6mg/cm 2至17mg/cm 2。可选地为8mg/cm 2至14mg/cm 2
(关于负极极片的单位面积涂布质量的测试)
本申请中,负极极片的单位面积涂布质量可以采用本领域公知的方法测试得到。作为示例的,可以采用如下方法进行测试:
将电芯在25℃下静置30分钟;以0.33C恒流放电至电芯放电终止电压,之后静置30分钟进行满放,然后拆解电芯,取待测负极极片(若是双面涂布的负极极片,可先擦拭掉其中一面的活性物质层),冲切成面积为S1的小圆片,对小圆片进行称重,其质量记为M1;然后将负极极片置于去离子水中,使负极活性物质层与负极集流体完全剥离,称取负极集流体的质量记为M2;由此,负极极片的单位面积涂布质量可以依据公式计算得到:负极极片的单位面积涂布质量=(M1-M2)/S1。
本申请中,负极极片的孔隙率指的是在负极集流体上、下表面均设置负极膜层的负极极片中,其空隙体积在上述负极极片总体积的占比。本申请中,当进一步控制第一负极极片的孔隙率与第二负极极片的孔隙率之比在上述范围内时,由于负极极片的动力学性能相当,且副反应程度相当,因而电芯之间的充电、倍率、功率性能一致性较好,同时可以达到较好的寿命性能匹配。

在本申请的一些实施方式中,所述第一类电芯的额定容量与所述第二类电芯的额定容量之比为0.8至1.2。可选地为0.9至1.1。本申请中,在控制第一负极极片与第二负极极片的总充电容量关系的基础上,进一步控制第一电芯与第二电芯的额定容量在上述范围内时,由于混合串联模组中电芯容量的一致性较好,模组的容量不受单一电芯容量短板的影响,因此可以提高模组的能量吞吐量。
本申请中,第一电芯的额定容量与第二电芯的额定容量可以采用本领域公知的方法测试得到,也可以以该电芯、或该电芯所属电池模组或该电芯所属电池包的GBT认证文件中所认定的电芯容量为准。

在本申请的一些实施方案中,第一类电芯和第二类电芯的电连接方式还包括并联。本申请中,将第一类电芯和第二类电芯的并联,可以是多个第一类电芯与第二类电芯先进行串联形成子模块,再在此基础上,将具有相同总电压的2个以上的子模块进行并联。这样可以进一步提升电池组的对外输出电流。
