目前,从市场形势的发展来看,动力电池的应用越加广泛。动力电池不仅被应用于水力、火力、风力和太阳能电站等储能电源系统,而且还被广泛应用于电动自行车、电动摩托车、电动汽车等电动交通工具,以及军事装备和航空航天等多个领域。随着动力电池应用领域的不断扩大,其市场的需求量也在不断地扩增。
发明人注意到,随着锂电池不断的充放电,锂电池的活性锂不断被消耗,导致CB值减小,从而导致析锂,而析锂现象在卷绕式电极组件的弯折区更为显著;此外,在卷绕式电极组件膨胀时,弯折区的电解液被挤出严重,导致弯折区电解液浸润不足,增大浓差极化,弯折区析锂严重。
基于以上考虑,为了缓解卷绕式电极组件因活性锂消耗和膨胀后电解液浸润不足而导致析锂的问题,发明人经过深入研究,设计了一种卷绕式电极组件,通过在正极集流体的内表面的第一正极活性物质层位于弯折区的至少一层设置有多个第一凹槽,能够减少弯折区的正极活性物质容量,从而增大弯折区的CB值;还能为卷绕式电极组件预留膨胀空间,减小弯折区极片(正极极片和/或负极极片)所受到的应力,降低离子嵌入负极极片的阻力;多个第一凹槽的设置还能使得卷绕式电极组件的内部能够容纳更多的电解液,能够在卷绕式电极组件受到膨胀挤压内部电解液减少的情况下作为补充电解液,降低因电解液浸润不足影响离子转移而导致析锂的风险,降低浓差极化,提高电池单体内部循环性能,降低弯折区析锂的风险,从而提高具有该卷绕式电极组件的电池单体的安全性能。
本申请实施例公开的卷绕式电极组件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、电池等组成该用电装置的电源系统,这样,有利于缓解析锂,提高用电安全。

请参照图5、图6,图5为本申请一些实施例提供的电极组件23的结构示意图,图6为本申请另一些实施例提供的电极组件23的结构示意图。电极组件23可以包括正极极片231、负极极片232和隔离膜(图中未示出)。电极组件23是由正极极片231、隔离膜和负极极片232通过卷绕形成的卷绕式结构。

隔离膜的材质可以为PP(polypropylene,聚丙烯)或PE(polyethylene,聚乙烯)等。
请继续参照图5、图6,卷绕式电极组件23具有弯折区233,卷绕式电极组件23包括正极极片231,正极极片231包括正极集流体2311和设置于正极集流体2311的内表面的第一正极活性物质层2312,内表面在卷绕后面向卷绕式电极组件23的卷绕轴线;正极极片231包括位于弯折区233且从内至外依次布置的多层弯折部2313;第一正极活性物质层2312包括位于多层弯折部2313的多个第一正极活性物质部2312a,至少一个第一正极活性物质部2312a设有多个第一凹槽2314。
当正极极片231绕卷绕轴线卷绕后,正极集流体2311的厚度方向上的两个表面中的一个表面距离卷绕轴线较近并面向卷绕轴线设置,该表面为正极集流体2311的内表面,另一个表面距离卷绕轴线较远并背离卷绕轴线设置,该表面为正极集流体2311的外表面。
在一些实施例中,如图5所示,卷绕式电极组件23也可以是圆柱式的电极组件,则沿卷绕式电极组件23的周向,任意范围均可以被定义为弯折区233,则任意弯折区233均可以设置多个第一凹槽2314。
在一些实施例中,卷绕式电极组件23可以是方形,如图6、图7所示,图6为本申请另一些实施例提供的电极组件23的结构示意图,图7为本申请一些实施例提供的电极组件23的局部示意图。卷绕式电极组件23包括平直区234和两个弯折区233,两个弯折区233连接于平直区234的两端。正极极片231卷绕完成后,正极极片231的一部分位于平直区234,正极极片231的另一部分位于弯折区233并形成从内至外依次布置的多层弯折部2313。每层弯折部2313包括第一正极活性物质层2312的部分,因此,则正极极片231包括位于多层弯折部2313的多个第一正极活性物质部2312a,多个第一正极活性物质部2312a从内至外依次布置。
至少一个第一正极活性物质部2312a设有多个第一凹槽2314,可以是每个第一正极活性物质部2312a均设有第一凹槽2314,也可以是多个第一正极活性物质部2312a中的部分第一正极活性物质部2312a设置有第一凹槽2314。
第一凹槽2314可以通过激光刻蚀的方式形成。
正极集流体2311的内表面的第一正极活性物质层2312位于弯折区233的至少一层设置有多个第一凹槽2314,能够减少弯折区233的正极活性物质容量,从而增大弯折区233的CB值,CB值为负极活性物质容量与正极活性物质容量的比值,CB值可以大于1;还能为卷绕式电极组件23预留膨胀空间,减小弯折区233极片(正极极片231和/或负极极片232)所受到的应力,降低离子嵌入负极极片232的阻力和/或离子从正极极片231脱离的阻力;多个第一凹槽2314的设置还能使得卷绕式电极组件23的内部能够容纳更多的电解液,能够在卷绕式电极组件23受到膨胀挤压内部电解液减少的情况下作为补充电解液,降低因电解液浸润不足影响离子转移而导致析锂的风险,降低浓差极化,提高电池单体20内部循环性能,降低弯折区233析锂的风险,从而提高具有该卷绕式电极组件23的电池单体20的安全性能。
请继续参见图7,在一些实施例中,多个第一凹槽2314沿正极极片231的延伸方向间隔排布。
在正极极片231处于卷绕状态时,正极极片231的延伸方向与卷绕方向一致,在正极极片231处于展开状态时,正极极片231的延伸方向与正极极片231的长度方向一致。
在其他实施例中,多个第一凹槽2314也可以以其他方式排布于第一正极活性物质部2312a,比如多个第一凹槽2314沿卷绕轴线的延伸方向排布或者多个第一凹槽2314环形排布于多个第一凹槽2314。
多个第一凹槽2314沿正极极片231的延伸方向间隔排布,以降低弯折区233沿正极极片231的延伸方向的任意部位出现析锂的风险。
请继续参见图7,在一些实施例中,多个第一凹槽2314设置于第一正极活性物质部2312a的远离正极集流体2311的内表面。
第一正极活性物质部2312a的远离正极集流体2311的内表面,是指沿正极极片231的厚度方向,第一正极活性物质部2312a的距离正极集流体2311的内表面更远的表面,在正极极片231卷绕完成后,第一正极活性物质部2312a距离正极集流体2311的内表面更远的表面面向卷绕轴线。
在其他实施例中,多个第一凹槽2314也可以设置于第一正极活性物质部2312a沿卷绕轴线方向的相对的两端。
多个第一凹槽2314设置于第一正极活性物质部2312a的远离正极集流体2311的内表面,能够减少弯折区233的正极活性物质容量,从而增大弯折区233的CB值,以降低卷绕式电极组件23析锂的风险,提高具有该卷绕式电极组件23的电池单体20的安全性能。设置于第一正极活性物质部2312a的内表面的第一凹槽2314还能为卷绕式电极组件23预留膨胀空间,减小弯折区233极片(正极极片231和/或负极极片232)所受到的应力,降低离子嵌入负极极片232的阻力和/或离子从正极极片231脱离的阻力;第一凹槽2314设置于第一正极活性物质部2312a的远离正极集流体2311的内表面还能够增大第一正极活性物质部2312a与其内侧的负极极片232之间的空间,以容纳更多的电解液,以使电极组件23能够被充分浸润,进一步降低因卷绕式电极组件23内部电解液被挤出后影响离子转移而导致析锂的风险,还能提高电池单体20内部循环性能的风险,降低弯折区233析锂的风险,从而提高具有该卷绕式电极组件23的电池单体20的安全性能。
请参照图7,在一些实施例中,第一凹槽2314贯穿第一正极活性物质部2312a位于卷绕轴线的延伸方向的两端。
在第一凹槽2314设置于第一正极活性物质部2312a的远离正极集流体2311的内表面的实施例中,第一凹槽2314从第一正极活性物质部2312a的远离正极集流体2311的内表面向靠近正极极片231的内表面凹陷,并沿卷绕轴线方向延伸直至贯穿第一正极活性物质部2312a的两端。第一凹槽2314从第一正极活性物质部2312a的远离正极集流体2311的内表面向靠近正极极片231的内表面凹陷的深度小于第一正极活性物质部2312a的厚度,以使第一凹槽2314的底壁与正极集流体2311的内表面之间的距离大于零。
请参照图8,在第一凹槽2314设置于第一正极活性物质部2312a的位于卷绕轴线的延伸方向的两端的实施例中,第一凹槽2314为形成在第一正极活性物质部2312a的通道,其中通道形式的第一凹槽2314可以是由第一正极活性物质部2312a限定出;如图9所示,也可以是由第一正极活性物质部2312a和正极集流体2311的内表面共同限定出。
在其他实施例中,第一凹槽2314也可以未贯穿第一正极活性物质部2312a沿卷绕轴线方向的两端,比如第一凹槽2314为设置在第一正极活性物质部2312a的内表面和/或第一正极活性物质部2312a沿卷绕轴线的延伸方向两端的凹坑。
沿卷绕轴线的延伸方向,第一凹槽2314贯穿第一正极活性物质部2312a的两端,为电解液浸润卷绕式电极组件23提供通道,有利于电解液在卷绕式电极组件23内部流动,降低卷绕式电极组件23在弯折区233因应力大导致的浸润不足的风险,降低浓差极化,改善弯折区233析锂。
在一些实施例中,第一凹槽2314的延伸方向与卷绕轴线的延伸方向平行。
在其他实施例中,第一凹槽2314也可以是其他形式布置,比如第一凹槽2314与卷绕轴线的延伸方向呈夹角布置,或者第一凹槽2314呈波浪形。
第一凹槽2314的延伸方向与卷绕轴线的延伸方向平行,方便第一凹槽2314在第一正极活性物质部2312a上成型,降低生产难度。
在卷绕式电极组件23中,越靠近卷绕轴线的圈层越容易析锂,在电极组件23膨胀时,越靠近卷绕轴线的圈层被挤压越严重,因此,如图10所示,在一些实施例中,在弯折区233中,至少两个第一正极活性物质部2312a设有多个第一凹槽2314;在两个第一正极活性物质部2312a中,位于内侧的一个第一正极活性物质部2312a的第一凹槽2314的密集程度大于位于外侧的一个第一正极活性物质部2312a的第一凹槽2314的密集程度。
第一凹槽2314的密集程度可以定义为,单位面积的第一正极活性物质部2312a内设有的第一凹槽2314的数量。
“位于内侧的一个第一正极活性物质部2312a”是指,两个第一正极活性物质部2312a中,距离卷绕轴线较近的一个第一正极活性物质部2312a;“位于外侧的一个第一正极活性物质部2312a”是指,两个第一正极活性物质部2312a中,距离卷绕轴线较远的一个第一正极活性物质部2312a。
设有第一凹槽2314的至少两个第一正极活性物质部2312a,可以是从内至外依次相邻的第一正极活性物 质部2312a;如图11所示,也可以是间隔布置的至少两个第一正极活性物质部2312a,即两个设有第一凹槽2314的第一正极活性物质部2312a之间可以设有至少一个未设置第一凹槽2314的第一正极活性物质部2312a。其中,第一凹槽2314的密集程度的比较是在设有第一凹槽2314的两个第一正极活性物质部2312a之间进行。
位于内侧的第一正极活性物质部2312a的第一凹槽2314的密集程度大于位于外侧的第一正极活性物质部2312a的第一凹槽2314的密集程度,使得位于内侧的第一正极活性物质部2312a与其内侧的负极极片232之间具有更大的空间,能为卷绕式电极组件23预留更大膨胀空间,减小弯折区233极片(正极极片231和/或负极极片232)所受到的应力,降低离子嵌入负极极片232的阻力和/或离子从正极极片231脱离的阻力;还能以容纳更多的电解液,降低靠近卷绕轴线的部分的电解液被挤出后影响离子转移而导致析锂的风险,还能提高电池单体20内部循环性能的风险。
请参照图7、图8所示,在一些实施例中,在弯折区233中,至少两个第一正极活性物质部2312a设有多个第一凹槽2314;在两个第一正极活性物质部2312a中,位于内侧的一个第一正极活性物质部2312a的第一凹槽2314的宽度大于位于外侧的一个第一正极活性物质部2312a的第一凹槽2314的宽度。
在其他实施例中,在弯折区233中,至少两个第一正极活性物质部2312a设有多个第一凹槽2314;在两个第一正极活性物质部2312a中,位于内侧的一个第一正极活性物质部2312a的第一凹槽2314的宽度大于位于外侧的一个第一正极活性物质部2312a的第一凹槽2314的宽度,且位于内侧的一个第一正极活性物质部2312a的第一凹槽2314的密集程度大于位于外侧的一个第一正极活性物质部2312a的第一凹槽2314的密集程度。
在其他实施例中,每一个第一正极活性物质部2312a上的第一凹槽2314的宽度也可以相同。
位于内侧的第一正极活性物质部2312a的第一凹槽2314的宽度大于位于外侧的第一正极活性物质部2312a的第一凹槽2314的宽度,使得位于内侧的第一正极活性物质部2312a与其内侧的负极极片232之间具有更大的空间,能为卷绕式电极组件23预留更大膨胀空间,减小弯折区233极片(正极极片231和/或负极极片232)所受到的应力,降低离子嵌入负极极片232的阻力和/或离子从正极极片231脱离的阻力;还能以容纳更多的电解液,降低靠近卷绕轴线的部分的电解液被挤出后影响离子转移而导致析锂的风险,还能提高电池单体20内部循环性能的风险。
在卷绕式电极组件23中,在电极组件23膨胀时,最内侧一层弯折部2313最先受到挤压,且挤压程度更为严重,因此,如图11所示,在一些实施例中,在弯折区233中,至少位于最内侧的一个第一正极活性物部设有多个第一凹槽2314。
最内侧的第一正极活性物质部2312a是指,在同一个弯折区233中,距离卷绕轴线最近的第一正极活性物质部2312a。在最内侧的第一正极活性物质部2312a设有多个第一凹槽2314的情况下,其他的第一正极活性物质层2312可以设置第一凹槽2314,也可以不设置第一凹槽2314。
最内侧的第一正极活性物部设有多个第一凹槽2314,使得最内侧的第一正极活性物部与其内侧的负极极片232之间能够容纳更多的电解液,能够在最内侧的第一正极活性物部受到膨胀挤压内部电解液减少的情况下作为补充电解液,降低因卷绕式电极组件23内部电解液被挤出后影响离子转移而导致析锂的风险,还能提高电池单体20内部循环性能的风险。
当卷绕式电极组件23膨胀较为严重时,卷绕式电极组件23的外周会与外壳21的内壁相抵,使得卷绕式电极组件23与外壳21(图3、图4中示出)的相互挤压,卷绕式电极组件23较为靠近外壳21的部分的电解液被挤出严重,导致为靠近外壳21的部分的极片浸润不足。
如图12所示,在一些实施例中,正极极片231包括卷绕收尾段,在弯折区233中,卷绕收尾段的至少部分的第一正极活性物质部2312a设有多个第一凹槽2314。
卷绕收尾段为从卷绕收尾端沿卷绕方向的反方向延伸一段距离所限定的部分。卷绕收尾段可以是从卷绕收尾端沿卷绕方向的反方向延伸一圈的部分,或者多圈的部分,卷绕收尾段从卷绕收尾端沿卷绕方向的反方向至少经过一次弯折区233。
当卷绕式电极组件23膨胀至与电池单体20的外壳21相抵时,较为靠近外壳21的内壁的极片受到较大的挤压力。卷绕收尾段的至少部分的第一正极活性物质部2312a设有多个第一凹槽2314,能在卷绕式电极组件23靠近外壳21的内壁的区域预留膨胀空间,减小近外壳21的内壁弯折区233极片(正极极片231和/或负极极片232)所受到的应力,降低离子嵌入负极极片232的阻力;还能使得卷绕式电极组件23的内部能够容纳更多的电解液,能够在卷绕式电极组件23膨胀至与外壳21的内壁相抵时内部电解液被挤出的情况下作为补充电解液,降低因卷绕式电极组件23内部电解液被挤出后影响离子转移而导致析锂的风险,提高电池单体20内部循环性能,降低弯折区233析锂的风险,从而提高具有该卷绕式电极组件23的电池单体20的安全性能。
如图13所示,在一些实施例中,多个第一凹槽2314呈网格排布。
多个第一凹槽2314呈网格排布,是指在一个弯折部2313中,至少两个第一凹槽2314部交错布置并连通。比如,多个第一凹槽2314中,两两连通,换句话说,多个第一凹槽2314相互连通。
多个第一凹槽2314呈网格排布,能够引导电解液沿不同的方向流动,有利于电解液在卷绕式电极组件23内部流通,降低卷绕式电极组件23弯折区233处因应力大导致的浸润不足,降低浓差极化,改善拐角析锂。
如图14所示,在一些实施例中,正极极片231还包括设置于正极集流体2311的外表面的第二正极活性物质层2315,第二正极活性物质层包括位于多层弯折部2313的多个第二正极活性物质部2315a;至少一个第二正极活性物质部2315a设有多个第二凹槽2316。
第二凹槽的相关可以参照第一凹槽2314,在此不再赘述。
在其他实施例中,第二活性物质部2315也可以不设置第二凹槽2316,仅仅第一活性物质部2312a设置第一凹槽2314。
正极集流体2311的外表面的第二正极活性物质层2315位于弯折区233至少一层设置有多个第二凹槽2316,能为卷绕式电极组件23预留膨胀空间,减小弯折区233极片(正极极片231和/或负极极片232)所受到的应力,降低离子嵌入负极极片232的阻力;多个第二凹槽2316的设置还能使得卷绕式电极组件23的内部能够容纳更多的电解液,能够在卷绕式电极组件23受到膨胀挤压内部电解液减少的情况下作为补充电解液,降低因卷绕式电极组件23内部电解液被挤出后影响离子转移而导致析锂的风险,提高电池单体20内部循环性能,降低弯折区233析锂的风险,从而提高具有该卷绕式电极组件23的电池单体20的安全性能。
在一些实施例中,卷绕式电极组件23包括平直区234和两个弯折区233,两个弯折区233分别连接于平直区234的两端;位于平直区234的正极极片231的单位面积的正极活性物质层的重量W0与位于弯折区233的正极极片231的单位面积的正极活性物质的重量Wn,满足:30%W0≤Wn≤95%W0。
平直区234的正极极片231的单位面积的正极活性物质层的重量W0,是指平直区234的正极极片231的单位面积的正极活性物质层的平均重量;弯折区233的正极极片231的单位面积的正极活性物质的重量Wn,是指弯折区233的正极极片231的单位面积的正极活性物质的平均重量。
W0和Wn满足30%W0≤Wn≤95%W0,既降低卷绕式电极组件23的弯折区233的析锂的风险,还能够保证卷绕式电极组件23的能量密度。
如图15所示,在一些实施例中,卷绕式电极组件23还包括负极极片232和隔离膜,正极极片231的厚度为M1,负极极片232的厚度为M2,隔离膜的厚度为M3,从内至外第n层弯折部2313的沿卷绕式电极组件23的卷绕方向的第一个第一凹槽2314和最后一个第一凹槽2314之间的距离为Cn,满足:0.1mm≤Cn≤pi*(M1+M2+M3)*a+50mm,n为大于或等于2的自然数,a为表示从外至内第a层正极极片231,pi为圆周率。
随着卷绕半径逐渐增大,从内至外,弯折部2313沿卷绕方向的长度逐渐增大,因此需要弯折部2313上的多个第一凹槽2314具有较大的跨度范围,以使沿卷绕方向,多个第一凹槽2314尽可能大范围地覆盖对应的弯折部2313。比如,从内至外第一层弯折部2313中的第一个第一凹槽2314和最后一个第一凹槽2314,满足:0.1mm≤C1≤pi*(M1+M2+M3)*1+50mm;从内至外第二层弯折部2313中的第一个第一凹槽2314和最后一个第一凹槽2314,满足:0.1mm≤C2≤pi*(M1+M2+M3)*2+50mm,依次类推。
正极极片231的厚度为M1,负极极片232的厚度为M2,隔离膜的厚度为M3,从内至外第n层弯折部2313的沿卷绕式电极组件23的卷绕方向的第一个第一凹槽2314和最后一个第一凹槽2314之间的距离为Cn,满足0.1mm≤Cn≤pi*(M1+M2+2M3)*a+50mm,则越远离卷绕轴线的一层弯折部2313上的多个第一凹槽2314沿卷绕方向的跨度越大,使得每层弯折部2313的多个第一凹槽2314的跨度与对应的弯折部2313的长度匹配,有效改善在弯折部2313因活性锂衰减导致析锂的问题。
在一些实施例中,沿卷绕方向,相邻的两个弯折部2313中的一个弯折部2313的第一个第一凹槽2314与相邻的两个弯折部2313中的另一个弯折部2313的最后一个第一凹槽2314之间的距离Ln大于或者等于0,且小于正极极片231的总长。
本申请实施例提供一种方形的卷绕式电极组件23,卷绕式电极组件23包括正极极片231,正极极片231包括正极集流体2311、设置于正极集流体2311的内表面的第一正极活性物质层2312和设置于正极集流体2311的外表面的第二正极活性物质层2315。正极极片231包括位于弯折区233且从内至外依次布置的多层弯折部2313;第一正极活性物质层2312包括位于多层弯折部2313的多个第一正极活性物质部2312a,至少一个第一正极活性物质部2312a设有多个第一凹槽2314。多个第一凹槽2314沿正极极片231的延伸方向间隔排布,第一凹槽2314设置于第一正极活性物质部2312a的远离正极集流体2311的内表面,第一凹槽2314贯穿第一正极活性物质部2312a沿卷绕轴向方向的两端,第一凹槽2314的延伸方向平行卷绕轴线方向。
