Definitions
- the present invention relates to a secondary battery, and more particularly, to a current collector and a cylindrical secondary battery including the same.
- the present invention also relates to a battery pack and a vehicle including such a cylindrical secondary battery.
- a widely used secondary battery is a lithium ion battery, and cylindrical, prismatic, and pouch-type secondary batteries are known.
- a separator which is an insulator, is interposed between a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate, and a jelly-roll type electrode assembly is formed by winding the separator, which is then inserted into a battery can.
- Each electrode plate includes an active material layer coated on a current collector.
- the parts that have the greatest influence on charge/discharge characteristics such as capacity and cycle life may be referred to as a positive electrode and a negative electrode where an electrochemical reaction actually occurs.
- the charge/discharge characteristics are affected by the reaction rate of the positive electrode and the negative electrode in the process of moving lithium ions (Li+) through the electrolyte solution by the redox reaction at the electrode. Therefore, when a kinetic balance in which reaction rates between the positive electrode and the negative electrode are balanced is secured, rapid charging can proceed as desired and cycle characteristics are improved. Therefore, it is necessary to secure a kinetic balance between the positive electrode and the negative electrode in order to facilitate rapid charging and improve cycle characteristics of the battery.
- Kinetic balance can be adjusted by making the moving speeds of lithium ions in the anode and cathode similar.
- the rate of movement of lithium ions mainly depends on the resistance due to the active material layer coated on the electrode plate. This resistance refers to resistance that hinders charge transfer of lithium ions in and on the surface of active material particles.
- the resistance may vary depending on the type of material constituting the active material layer of the electrode plate, such as an active material, a binder, and a conductive material, and may also vary depending on the distribution state of the binder and the conductive material on the surface of active material particles.
- the movement speed of lithium ions is controlled by adjusting the so-called chemistry balance, which controls the composition of an active material layer coated on an electrode plate.
- the controllable range of the movement speed of lithium ions is very narrow only by applying such a method for adjusting the chemistry balance. This is because the composition range of the active material layer usable in an actual lithium secondary battery is set to some extent.
- the lithium ion transfer rate is to be controlled within the limits of the process realization capability due to the composition of the active material layer, only adjustment within a relatively minor range is possible. Therefore, it is required to develop a technology capable of controlling the movement speed of lithium ions with a more significant range than the control of the movement speed of lithium ions through the adjustment of the chemistry balance.
- a strip-shaped current collecting tab is connected to an uncoated area of an electrode plate that is not coated with an active material layer, and the electrode assembly and an electrode terminal exposed to the outside are electrically connected with the current collecting tab.
- the positive terminal is a cap plate of a sealing body sealing the opening of the battery can
- the negative terminal is the battery can.
- the jelly-roll type electrode assembly is designed so that the positive electrode uncoated portion and the negative electrode uncoated portion are located at the top and bottom, respectively, and a current collector plate is directly welded to the uncoated portion to have a structure with improved current collection efficiency.
- a cylindrical secondary battery (a so-called tab-less cylindrical secondary battery) may be used.
- the current collector is a very important part to be managed. It is necessary to maximize the contact area of the current collector plate with the uncoated portion as much as possible, thereby minimizing the resistance generated at the connection portion between parts.
- An object of the present invention is to control the movement speed of lithium ions to a greater extent than the technology for controlling the movement speed of lithium ions by adjusting the chemistry balance of the positive electrode and the negative electrode as described above.
- Another object of the present invention is to improve the performance of a cylindrical secondary battery by improving a positive electrode current collector and a negative electrode current collector in a tab-less cylindrical secondary battery.
