本申请的实施例所提到的电池是指包括一个或多个电池单体以提供更高的电压和容量的单一的物理模块。电池一般包括用于封装一个或多个电池单体的箱体。箱体可以避免液体或其他异物影响电池单体的充电或放电。
电池单体包括电极组件和电解液,电极组件由正极极片、负极极片和隔膜组成。电池单体主要依靠金属离子在正极极片和负极极片之间移动来工作。正极极片包括正极集流体和正极活性物质层,正极活性物质层涂覆于正极集流体的表面,未涂覆正极活性物质层的正极集流体凸出于已涂覆正极活性物质层的正极集流体,未涂覆正极活性物质层的正极集流体作为正极极耳。以锂离子电池为例,正极集流体的材料可以为铝,正极活性物质可以为钴酸锂、磷酸铁锂、三元锂或锰酸锂等。负极极片包括负极集流体和负极活性物质层,负极活性物质层涂覆于负极集流体的表面,未涂覆负极活性物质层的负极集流体凸出于已涂覆负极活性物质层的负极集流体,未涂覆负极活性物质层的负极集流体作为负极极耳。负极集流体的材料可以为铜,负极活性物质可以为碳或硅等。为了保证通过大电流而不发生熔断,正极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起,负极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起。隔膜的材质可以为PP(polypropylene,聚丙烯)或PE(polyethylene,聚乙烯)等。
为使得锂离子电池单体体积更小,能量密度更高,锂离子电池单体的电极组件中的负极极片、正极极片和隔膜可以进行卷绕或折叠,然后压实。
锂离子电池单体在充电时,锂离子从正极极片脱嵌并嵌入负极极片,但是可能会发生一些异常情况,例如,负极极片嵌锂空间不足、负极极片与正极极片之间的距离过大、锂离子嵌入负极极片阻力太大或锂离子过快的从正极极片脱嵌,脱嵌的锂离子无法等量的嵌入负极极片的负极活性物质层,无法嵌入负极极片的锂离子只能在负极极片表面得电子,从而形成银白色的金属锂单质,这就是析锂现象。析锂不仅使锂离子电池单体性能下降,循环寿命大幅缩短,还限制了锂离子电池单体的快充容量。除此之外,锂离子电池发生析锂时,析出来的锂金属非常活泼,在较低的温度下便可以与电解液发生反应,造成电池单体自产热起始温度降低和自产热速率增大,严重危害电池单体的安全。再者,析锂严重时,脱嵌的锂离子可以在负极极片表面形成锂结晶,而锂结晶容易刺破隔膜,造成相邻的正极极片和负极极片具有短路的风险。
现有的电池经常出现析锂的问题,导致电池的安全性较差。发明人发现,现有技术中,为了使得极片具有较多的活性物质容量,活性物质层通常涂覆至集流体的宽度方向的边缘,在锂离子电池中,电极组件的边缘容易出现析锂现象,尤其是电极组件为卷绕式结构时,极片的边缘更容易出现析锂现象。例如,在方壳式的电池单体中,当极耳从电极组件的两侧延伸出时,电极组件的边缘处电解液浸润效果较差,电池单体使用过程中,极片的边缘容易出现析锂。
鉴于此,为了降低析锂以提高电池单体的安全性,发明人经过深入研究,设计了一种极片,活性物质层在集流体的宽度方向的边缘并未延伸至集流体的边缘,使得集流体的靠近边缘的位置形成有空箔区,在电池单体使用过程中,能够降低由该极片构成的电极组件出现析锂的风险,使得电池单体具有较高的安全性。
相对于现有技术的活性物质层涂覆至集流体的边缘、且活性物质层的边缘呈直
线式延伸的极片,本申请的极片中,活性物质层在集流体的宽度方向的边缘并未涂覆至集流体的边缘,并且活性物质层的边缘呈起伏状延伸,沿集流体的长度方向,活性物质层的边缘与集流体的边缘之间的距离大小不等,集流体的靠近边缘的位置形成起伏状的空箔区,在由该极片构成的电池单体中,由于空箔区的存在,极片的边缘的活性物质层较少,极片的边缘出现析锂的风险降低,从而降低了电极组件出现析锂的风险,提高了电池单体的安全性。
本申请实施例公开的电池单体可以但不限用于车辆、船舶或飞行器等用电设备中。可以使用具备本申请公开的电池单体、电池等组成该用电设备的电源系统。

根据本申请的一些实施例,参照图4,图4为本申请一些实施例提供的极片的结构示意图,图5为图4的左视图。本申请提供了一种极片30,该极片30包括集流体31和活性物质层32。活性物质层32涂覆于集流体31的表面。其中,活性物质层32包括沿集流体31的宽度方向X相对的第一边缘321和第二边缘322,第一边缘321沿集流体31的长度方向Y起伏地延伸。

第一边缘321和第二边缘322为活性物质层32在集流体31的宽度方向X上相对的两个边缘,第一边缘321和第二边缘322限定出活性物质层32在集流体31的宽度方向X上的涂覆轮廓。
相对于第一边缘321呈直线式结构、且第一边缘321与集流体31的宽度方向X的边缘平行设置的情况,第一边缘321沿集流体31的长度方向Y起伏地延伸,第一边缘321与集流体31的宽度方向X的边缘之间的距离沿着集流体31的长度方向Y是变化的,也即第一边缘321参差不齐。
相对于现有技术的活性物质层32涂覆至集流体31的宽度方向X的边缘、且活性物质层32的边缘呈直线式延伸的极片,本申请的极片30中,活性物质层32在集流体31的宽度方向X的第一边缘321并未涂覆至集流体31的宽度方向X的边缘,并且活性物质层32的第一边缘321呈起伏状延伸,沿集流体31的长度方向Y,集流体31的靠近边缘的位置形成起伏状的空箔区(集流体31的未涂覆活性物质层32的区域),在由该极片30构成的电池单体20中,由于空箔区的存在,极片30的边缘的活性物质层32的涂覆面积较少,极片30的边缘出现析锂的风险降低,从而降低了电极组件23出现析锂的风险,提高了电池单体20的安全性。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图4所示,第一边缘321呈波浪形。

第二边缘322沿集流体31的长度方向Y起伏地延伸,第二边缘322与集流体31的宽度方向X的边缘之间的距离沿着集流体31的长度方向Y是变化的,也即第二边缘322参差不齐。
需要指出的是,这里的集流体31的宽度方向X的边缘是指集流体31的宽度方向X上的、靠近第二边缘322的边缘,该边缘相对于集流体31的宽度方向X上的另一边缘更靠近第二边缘322。
在第一边缘321沿集流体31的长度方向Y起伏地延伸的基础上,第二边缘322沿集流体31的长度方向Y起伏地延伸,使得集流体31在其宽度方向的两个边缘能够具有未涂覆活性物质层32的空箔区,进一步降低极片30构成的电池单体20在使用过程中出现析锂的概率,提高电池单体20的安全性。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图4所示,第二边缘322呈波浪形。
第二边缘322呈波浪形是指,第二边缘322可以为曲面,例如,沿集流体31的厚度方向Z,第二边缘322在集流体31上的投影呈波浪形的形式。
在上述方案中,第二边缘322的形状呈波浪形,便于实现活性物质层32在集流体31的表面的涂覆,操作简单。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图6所示,沿集流体31的厚度方向Z(请参见图5),第二边缘322在集流体31上的投影可以包括第二平直段3221和第二曲线段3222,第二平直段3221沿集流体31的长度方向Y直线延伸,第二曲线段3222沿集流体31的宽度方向X凸出于第二平直段3221,也即,第二曲线段3222由第二平直段3221朝向集流体31的边缘凸出。需要指出的是,这里提及的集流体31的边缘是指集流体31的宽度方向X上的、靠近第二边缘322的边缘。
第二平直段3221与集流体31的边缘之间的距离沿集流体31的长度方向Y可以相同,或者,第二平直段3221与集流体31的边缘之间的距离沿集流体31的长度方向Y逐渐减小或者逐渐增大。
第二曲线段3222的形状可以三角形、矩形、半圆形、梯形或者异形等。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图4和图6所示,第一边缘321与第二边缘322对称。
在上述方案中,第一边缘321与第二边缘322对称,便于实现活性物质层32的涂覆。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图4至图6所示,集流体31包括本体311和多个极耳312,本体311包括沿集流体31的宽度方向X相对设置的第三边缘3111和第四边缘3112,极耳312从第三边缘3111延伸出,活性物质层32涂覆于本体311的表面,第一边缘321靠近第三边缘3111,第二边缘322靠近第四边缘3112。
本体311为集流体31的用于涂覆活性物质层32的部位。第三边缘3111和第四边缘3112为本体311的沿集流体31的宽度方向X相对设置的两个边缘,第三边缘3111和第四边缘3112在集流体31的宽度方向X上限定本体311的轮廓。
多个极耳312沿集流体31的长度方向Y间隔设置,极耳312可以由集流体
31裁切而成,第三边缘3111为裁切边缘。
极耳312从第三边缘3111延伸出是指,极耳312沿集流体31的宽度方向X由第三边缘3111超背离第四边缘3112的方向凸出。
第一边缘321靠近第三边缘3111是指,第一边缘321相对于第二边缘322靠近第三边缘3111,换句话说,沿集流体31的宽度方向X,第一边缘321到第三边缘3111的距离大于第二边缘322到第三边缘3111的距离。
第二边缘322靠近第四边缘3112是指,第二边缘322相对于第一边缘321靠近第四边缘3112,换句话说,沿集流体31的宽度方向X,第二边缘322到第四边缘3112的距离大于第一边缘321到第四边缘3112的距离。
极耳312从第三边缘3111延伸出,第一边缘321与第三边缘3111相邻,第一边缘321和第三边缘3111限定出第一空箔区,使得本体311的靠近极耳312的区域涂覆的活性物质层32的面积较小,降低极片30在靠近极耳312的边缘区域出现析锂的概率。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图4所示,第三边缘3111沿集流体31的长度方向Y直线延伸,沿集流体31的宽度方向X,第一边缘321与第三边缘3111之间的最大距离为D,集流体31的宽度为W,满足1/10≤D/W≤1/6。
第三边缘3111沿集流体31的长度方向Y直线延伸,也即本体311边缘平齐,便于极片30与其他部件之间的装配。
第一边缘321与第三边缘3111之间的最大距离D和集流体31的宽度W的比例满足上述关系,能够平衡电池单体20的能量密度和析锂的概率。当第一边缘321与第三边缘3111之间的最大距离D和集流体31的宽度W的比例小于1/10时,电池单体20的极片30出现析锂的概率较大;当第一边缘321与第三边缘3111之间的最大距离D和集流体31的宽度W的比例大于1/6时,集流体31涂覆的活性物质层32的面积较小,导致电池单体20的能量密度较低。
可选地,第一边缘321与第三边缘3111之间的最大距离D和集流体31的宽度W的比例关系满足D/W=1/8。
请参见图7和图8,图7为本申请另一些实施例提供的极片的结构示意图,图8为图7的左视图。根据本申请的一些实施例,第四边缘3112沿集流体31的长度方向Y起伏地延伸且与第二边缘322至少部分重合。
第四边缘3112与第二边缘322至少部分重合是指,第四边缘3112与第二边缘322的一部分重合,或者,第四边缘3112与第二边缘322完全重合。可选地,如图7和图8所示,第四边缘3112与第二边缘322完全重合,便于加工制造。
相对于第四边缘3112沿集流体31的长度方向Y直线延伸,第四边缘3112沿集流体31的长度方向Y起伏地延伸且第四边缘3112与第二边缘322至少部分重合,使得活性物质层32在本体311的背离第三边缘3111的一侧的涂覆面积较小,降低了活性物质层32在集流体31的宽度方向X边缘的涂覆面积,进而降低了由该极片30构成的电池单体20析锂的风险。
同时,第四边缘3112与第二边缘322至少部分重合,集流体31的在宽度方
向上未设置极耳312的边缘可以进行模切,便于极片30成型加工。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图4和图6所示,第四边缘3112沿集流体31的长度方向Y直线延伸。
第四边缘3112沿集流体31的长度方向Y直线延伸,也即本体311边缘平齐,便于极片30与其他部件之间的装配。
同时,第四边缘3112沿直线延伸,便于实现活性物质层32的涂覆。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图4所示,第一边缘321包括多个朝向第三边缘3111凸出的凸出段3213,多个凸出段3213沿集流体31的长度方向Y间隔设置,多个极耳312沿集流体31的长度方向Y间隔设置,每个极耳312位于相邻两个凸出段3213之间。
凸出段3213是指第一边缘321的相对于其他部位靠近第三边缘3111的部位。
多个凸出段3213沿集流体31的长度方向Y间隔设置,使得第一边缘321沿集流体31的长度方向Y起伏地延伸。
相邻的两个凸出段3213之间形成凹陷段,凹陷段朝向第四边缘3112凹陷。
由于本体311的与极耳312对应的位置处出现析锂的概率较大,极耳312与相邻的两个凸出段3213对应,以降低本体311在与极耳312对应位置处析锂的概率。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图4所示,每个极耳312的中心线P1偏离与该极耳312相邻的两个凸出段3213的对称中心线P2。

根据本申请实施例的电极组件23,正极极片和负极极片为上述的极片30,能够降低由该电极组件23构成的电池单体20的析锂风险,提高电池单体20的安全性。
根据本申请的一些实施例,本申请提供了一种电池单体20,该电池单体20包括如上述实施例提供的电极组件23。
根据本申请实施例的电池单体20,采用上述的电极组件23,具有较高的安全性。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图3所示,电池单体20还包括壳体21、端盖22、第一电极端子241、第二电极端子242、第一集流构件251和第二集流构件252。壳体21具有开口;端盖22封闭开口。第一电极端子241和第二电极端子242设置于端盖22。其中,电极组件23容纳于壳体21内,电极组件23的卷绕轴线的延伸方向与端盖22的厚度方向M垂直,电极组件23的正极极耳312a和负极极耳312b分别位于电极组件23在卷绕轴线的延伸方向N上的两侧,正极极耳312a通过第一集流构件251电连接于第一电极端子241,负极极耳312b通过第二集流构件252电连接于第二电极端子242。
第一电极端子241和第二电极端子242均为导电部件,用于将电池单体20
的电能导出。
图中,字母M所指示的方向为端盖22的厚度方向,字母N所指示的方向为电极组件23的卷绕轴线的延伸方向。
电极组件23的卷绕轴线的延伸方向N与集流体31的宽度方向X平行。
正极极耳312a和负极极耳312b从电极组件23的卷绕轴线的延伸方向N的两侧延伸出,以便于电极组件23的装配,降低正极极耳312a和负极极耳312b接触短路的风险。
第一集流构件251和第二集流构件252均为导电件,具有较好的导电性能,第一集流构件251和第二集流构件252的材质可以为金属,例如,铝、镍或者其合金等。
在上述方案中,由于电极组件23的卷绕方向与端盖22的厚度方向M垂直,并且正极极耳312a和负极极耳312b分别位于卷绕方向上的两侧,由于正极集流体31的宽度方向X的边缘和负极集流体31的宽度方向X的边缘均具有空箔区,在电池工作过程中,能够降低电极组件23析锂的概率。
根据本申请的一些实施例,本申请提供了一种电池100,包括如上述实施例所述的电池单体20。
根据本申请的一些实施例,本申请提供了一种用电设备,包括如上述实施例所述的电池100,电池100用于为用电设备提供电能。
用电设备可以为上述任一应用电池的设备或系统。
根据本申请的一些实施例,参见图3,本申请提供了一种方体电池单体,该方体电池单体包括壳体21、端盖22、电极组件23、第一电极端子241、第二电极端子242、第一集流构件251和第二集流构件252。壳体21具有开口,端盖22封闭开口,以与壳体21限定密封空间。第一电极端子241和第二电极端子242设置于端盖22。电极组件23容纳于壳体21内。电极组件23包括正极极片、隔膜及负极极片,正极极片、隔膜及负极极片层叠卷绕形成电极组件23,正极极片和负极极片为上述实施例提供的极片30。电极组件23的卷绕轴线的延伸方向N与端盖22的厚度方向M垂直,电极组件23的正极极耳312a和负极极耳312b分别位于电极组件23在卷绕轴线的延伸方向N上的两侧,正极极耳312a通过第一集流构件251电连接于第一电极端子241,负极极耳312b通过第二集流构件252电连接于第二电极端子242。
其中,请参见图7,极片30包括集流体31和活性物质层32,集流体31包括本体311和多个极耳312,本体311包括沿集流体31的厚度方向Z相对设置的第三边缘3111和第四边缘3112,极耳312从第三边缘3111延伸出,活性物质层32涂覆于本体311的厚度方向的相对的两面。第三边缘3111沿集流体31的长度方向Y直线延伸,第四边缘3112沿集流体31的长度方向Y起伏地延伸。活性物质层32包括沿集流体31的宽度方向X相对的第一边缘321和第二边缘322,第一边缘321沿集流体31的长度方向Y起伏地延伸,第一边缘321靠近第三边缘3111,第二边缘322靠近第四边缘3112,且第二边缘322与第四边缘3112重合。第二边缘322与第一边缘321对称设置。
电极组件23中,正极极片的活性物质层32的第一边缘321与负极极片的活性物质层32的第二边缘322对应,正极极片的活性物质层32的第二边缘322与负极极片的活性物质层32的第一边缘321对应。
相对于活性物质层32涂覆至集流体31的边缘,该电极组件23中,电极组件23的卷绕轴线的延伸方向N的边缘具有较少的活性物质层32,降低了方体电池单体析锂的风险,使得方体电池单体具有较高的安全性。
虽然已经参考优选实施例对本申请进行了描述,但在不脱离本申请的范围的情况下,可以对其进行各种改进并且可以用等效物替换其中的部件。尤其是,只要不存在结构冲突,各个实施例中所提到的各项技术特征均可以任意方式组合起来。本申请并不局限于文中公开的特定实施例,而是包括落入权利要求的范围内的所有技术方案。
