发明内容
本申请的目的在于提供一种二次电池及用电装置,旨在提升二次电池的安全性能。
本申请的第一方面提供一种二次电池,包括电极组件,以及用于容纳电极组件的壳体。电极组件的正极极片包括:正极集流体,以及涂覆于正极集流体表面的底涂层。
其中,沿电极组件卷绕方向,底涂层包括第一底涂层和第二底涂层,正极活性材料层位于第一底涂层的表面上,第二底涂层设置于电极组件最外圈的至少部分表面上,且第二底涂层的表面上未设置正极活性材料层,第二底涂层上还设置有凸起区和内凹区,且凸起区在第二底涂层的面积占比为50%至80%。
并非意在受限于任何理论或解释,第二底涂层设置于电极组件的最外圈的至少部分表面上,相较于空白正极集流体,或者厚度一致的底涂层,第二底涂层具有更高的粗糙度,从而能够使得电极组件的最外圈与壳体内壁之间具有较大的的摩擦系数。由此,在二次电池发生跌落的情况下,电极组件不易与壳体发生相对滑动,从而能够减小电极组件为壳体的冲击作用,从而降低二次电池因发生跌落而失效的风险,进而提升二次电池的安全性能。此外,本申请通过将第二底涂层设置于电极组件的最外圈的至少部分表面上,即可降低二次电池因发生跌落而失效的风险。本申请的二次电池不仅工艺简单,而且无需在二次电池内部引入复杂的结构,大大降低了二次电池的加工难度和制造成本。由此,本申请的二次电池能够兼具高安全性能和高产能。
在任意实施方式中,凸起区在第二底涂层的面积占比为55%至70%。当凸起区在第二底涂层中的面积占比在上述合适的范围内时,能够使得第二底涂层兼具较高的粗糙度以及一定的机械强度。由此,电极组件的最外圈不仅能够与壳体内壁之间具有高摩擦系数,而且能够具有一定的强度。因此,在本申请的二次电池跌落时,电极组件不仅不 易与壳体发生相对滑动,而且能够承受一定的冲击力,从而能够进一步提升二次电池的安全性能。
在任意实施方式中,内凹区的厚度d 1与凸起区的厚度d 2之比为0~4/5。内凹区的厚度与凸起区的厚度之比在上述合适的范围内,能够在增大电极组件的最外圈与壳体内壁之间的摩擦系数的同时,使得第二底涂层具有较高的结构稳定性。由此,能够使得电极组件最外圈与壳体内壁之间保持较大的摩擦系数,从而降低二次电池发生跌落后失效的风险,进而提升二次电池的安全性能。
在任意实施方式中,内凹区的厚度d 1与凸起区的厚度d 2之比为1/3~4/5。内凹区的厚度与凸起区的厚度之比在上述合适的范围内,能够在增大电极组件的最外圈与壳体内壁之间的摩擦系数的同时,进一步提升第二底涂层的结构稳定性。由此,能够进一步降低二次电池发生跌落后失效的风险,从而进一步提升二次电池的安全性能。
在任意实施方式中,内凹区的厚度d 1为1μm至2.5μm。当内凹区的厚度在上述合适的范围内时,一方面,有利于降低第二底涂层的加工难度;另一方面有利于使得第二底涂层具有一定的机械强度,从而使得第二底涂层具有良好的结构稳定性;再一方面有利于二次电池保持高体积能量密度。由此,本申请的二次电池能够兼具高安全性能和高体积能量密度。
在任意实施方式中,电极组件的最外圈与壳体内壁的摩擦系数μ满足:0.35≤μ≤0.5。

如背景技术所述,提高二次电池的安全性能对于二次电池的发展十分重要。
二次电池通常由电极组件以及用于容纳电极组件的外包装组成。常用的外包装,例如铝塑膜等,其内壁较为光滑。因此,电极组件与外包装内壁的摩擦力小,容易在外包装内发生窜动。在发生跌落时,电极组件容易与外包装发生相对运动,导致铝箔撕裂、顶封冲开、外包装角位破损,从而导致电池失效。
相关技术中,为提升电池的跌落测试通过率,通常会在电极组件和外包装之间设置双面胶,或利用胶水等将外包装内壁与电极组件粘接起来,以减少电极组件的窜动;或者对外包装进行增强处理,例如,在外包装铝箔上贴胶,以增加铝箔的局部强度;再或者在电极组件和外包装之间增加缓冲结构,以缓解电池跌落时电极组件对外包装的冲击力。但是,这些方法不仅成本高、难度大,而且对于二次电池安全性能的提升作用十分有限,不能满足人们的期望。
为了解决上述问题,发明人经深入思考与大量实验,提供了一种二次电池及用电装置,该二次电池的电极组件中包含特定的正极极片,能够使得二次电池具备高安全性能。
二次电池
本申请第一方面提供一种二次电池,包括其中发生电化学反应以将化学能与电能互相转化的任何装置。二次电池的具体实例可以包括所有种类的锂二次电池或钠二次电池。
本申请的二次电池包括电极组件,以及用于容纳电极组件的壳体。该电极组件可以由正极极片、负极极片和隔离膜可通过卷绕工艺制成。
电极组件的正极极片包括:正极集流体,以及涂覆于正极集流体表面的底涂层。
其中,沿电极组件卷绕方向,底涂层包括第一底涂层和第二底涂层,正极活性材料层位于第一底涂层的表面上,第二底涂层设置于电极组件最外圈的至少部分表面上,且第二底涂层的表面上未设置正极活性材料层,第二底涂层上还设置有凸起区和内凹区,且凸起区在第二底涂层的面积占比为50%至80%。例如,凸起区的面积可以占第二底涂层面积的50%,55%,60%,65%,70%,75%,80%,或处于以上任意数值所组成的范围内。
在本申请中,对壳体的具体实施例不作限定。壳体可以包括,但不限于本领域公知的、用于封装电极组件及电解液的壳体。在一些实施方式中,壳体可以是硬壳,例如硬塑料壳、铝壳、钢壳等,也可以是软包,例如袋式软包。软包的材质可以是塑料,如聚丙烯(PP)、聚对苯二甲酸丁二醇酯(PBT)、聚丁二酸丁二醇酯(PBS)中的至少一种。
在本申请中,对正极集流体的具体实施例不作限定。正极集流体可以是,但不限于金属箔片或复合集流体。作为金属箔片的示例,正极集流体可采用铝箔。复合集流体可包括高分子材料基层以及形成于高分子材料基层至少一个表面上的金属材料层。作为示例,金属材料可选自铝、铝合金、镍、镍合金、钛、钛合金、银、银合金中的一种或几种。作为示例,高分子材料基层可选自聚丙烯、聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯、聚对苯二甲酸丁二醇酯、聚苯乙烯、聚乙烯等。
上述第二底涂层可以为与第一底涂层的组成基本相同的底涂层。在一些实施方式中,第二底涂层设置于电极组件最外圈至少的部分表面上,即第二底涂层可以全部覆盖电极组件最外圈,也可以覆盖电极组件最外圈的部分表面。图1是本申请的二次电池中,电极组件的一实施方式的示意图。如图1所示,该示例性的电极组件10中,电极组件10最外圈表面全部设置第二底涂层120b。另外,通常情况下电池在手机等产品内安装时,左右的圆弧面位置通常不受挤压,或受挤压程度很小,此位置摩擦系数的增加对跌落测试通过率改善有限,电极组件10最外圈包括两个弯曲部和两个平直部,至少一个平直部表面设置第二底涂层120b,因此图1的方案可以采用图2的结构,此外简化结构图3和图4的方案对跌落测试通过率也有明显的提升。
在一些实施方式中,在正极集流体的表面,第二底涂层和第一底涂层除焊接极耳区域之外的部分可以连续分布。
图5和图6是本申请的二次电池中,正极极片的一实施方式的示意图,该正极极片可与负极极片和隔离膜通过卷绕工艺制成电极组件。图5为该示例性的正极极片100的纵截面的示意图,图6为该示例性的正极极片100的俯视图。如图5和图6所示,正极极片100中,正极集流体110的表面设置有底涂层,底涂层包括第一底涂层120a以及第二底涂层120b。第二底涂层120b经卷绕后,可位于电极组件的最外圈。第一底涂层120a位于电极组件的正极极片的中段部位。可选地,第一底涂层120a可以延伸至正极极片的尾部,与第二底涂层120b相对设置。进一步可选地,第一底涂层120a还可以延伸至正极极片的卷绕起始端。正极活性材料层130位于第一底涂层120a的表面上。极耳可焊接在位于正极极片中段部位的正极集流体表面110a上。容易理解的,正极集流体表面110a可以为涂布时预留的、表面未涂布底涂层和正极活性材料层的空集流体表面,也可以为经连续涂布后,将正极活性材料层130和第一底涂层120a的部分区域镂空形成的空集流体表面。
图7和图8是本申请的二次电池中,正极极片的一实施方式的示意图,该正极极片可与负极极片和隔离膜通过卷绕工艺制成电极组件。图7为该示例性的正极极片100的纵截面的示意图,图8为该示例性的正极极片100的俯视图。如图7和图8所示,正极极片100中,正极集流体110的表面设置有底涂层,底涂层包括第一底涂层120a以及第二 底涂层120b。第二底涂层120b经卷绕后,可位于电极组件的最外圈。第一底涂层120a位于电极组件的正极极片的中段部位。可选地,第一底涂层120a可以延伸至正极极片的尾部,与第二底涂层120b相对设置。进一步可选地,第一底涂层120a还可以延伸至正极极片的卷绕起始端。正极活性材料层130位于第一底涂层120a的表面上。极耳可焊接在位于正极极片卷绕起始端的正极集流体表面110a上。容易理解的,正极集流体表面110a可以为涂布时预留的、表面未涂布底涂层和正极活性材料层的空集流体表面,也可以为经连续涂布后,将位于正极极片起始端的部分第一底涂层120a镂空形成的空集流体表面。
在本申请中,凸起区可以为第二底涂层中,厚度相对较大的区域。上述内凹区可以为第二底涂层中,厚度相对较小的区域。凸起区和内凹区可以交替分布。本申请对凸起区和内凹区的形成方式不作特别限定,无论凸起区和内凹区经由何种方式形成,只要使得第二底涂层包括厚度较大的凸起区以及厚度较小的内凹区,以使得电极组件的最外圈具有一定的粗糙度即可。作为一个示例,凸起区可以由部分底涂层加厚形成,内凹区可以由未经处理的部分底涂层、经减薄的部分底涂层或者经镂空的部分底涂层形成。作为另一个示例,凸起区可以由未经处理的底涂层形成,内凹区可以由经减薄的底涂层或者经镂空的底涂层形成。作为再一个示例,凸起区可以由经减薄的底涂层形成,内凹区可以由经减薄的底涂层或者经镂空的底涂层形成。
虽然机理尚不明确,发明人意外地发现,在正极集流体的表面涂覆上述第一底涂层和第二底涂层,能够简单、有效提升二次电池的安全性能。
具体地,并非意在受限于任何理论或解释,第二底涂层设置于电极组件的最外圈至少部分表面上,相较于空白正极集流体,或者厚度一致的底涂层,第二底涂层具有更高的粗糙度,从而能够使得电极组件的最外圈与壳体内壁之间具有较大的的摩擦系数。由此,在二次电池发生跌落的情况下,电极组件不易与壳体发生相对滑动,从而能够减小电极组件为壳体的冲击作用,从而降低二次电池因发生跌落而失效的风险,进而提升二次电池的安全性能。此外,本申请通过将第二底涂层设置于电极组件的最外圈的至少部分表面上,即可降低二次电池因发生跌落而失效的风险。本申请的二次电池不仅工艺简单,而且无需在二次电池内部引入复杂的结构,大大降低了二次电池的加工难度和制造成本。由此,本申请的二次电池能够兼具高安全性能和高产能。
在一些实施方式中,凸起区在第二底涂层的面积占比可为55%至70%。例如,凸起区的面积可占第二底涂层面积的55%,58%,60%,62%,65%,68%,70%,或处于以上任意数值所组成的范围内。
并非意在受限于任何理论或解释,当凸起区在第二底涂层中的面积占比在上述合适的范围内时,能够使得第二底涂层兼具较高的粗糙度以及一定的机械强度。由此,电极组件的最外圈不仅能够与壳体内壁之间具有高摩擦系数,而且能够具有一定的强度。因此,在本申请的二次电池跌落时,电极组件不仅不易与壳体发生相对滑动,而且能够承受一定的冲击力,从而能够进一步提升二次电池的安全性能。
在一些实施方式中,内凹区的厚度d 1与凸起区的厚度d 2之比为0~4/5。例如,内凹区的厚度d 1与凸起区的厚度d 2之比可以为0,1/5,1/4,1/3,2/5,1/2,3/5,2/3,3/4,4/5,或处于以上任意数值所组成的范围内。从正极集流体的表面向背离集流体表面 的垂直方向上,凸起区的厚度大于内凹区的厚度;内凹区的厚度d 1是指内凹区背离正极集流体的表面向正极集流体表面的垂直距离,凸起区的厚度d 2是指凸起区背离正极集流体的表面向正极集流体表面的垂直距离。
并非意在受限于任何理论或解释,内凹区的厚度与凸起区的厚度之比在上述合适的范围内,能够在增大电极组件的最外圈与壳体内壁之间的摩擦系数的同时,使得第二底涂层具有较高的结构稳定性。由此,能够使得电极组件最外圈与壳体内壁之间保持较大的摩擦系数,从而降低二次电池发生跌落后失效的风险,进而提升二次电池的安全性能。
在一些实施方式中,内凹区的厚度d 1与凸起区的厚度d 2之比为1/3~4/5。例如,内凹区的厚度d 1与凸起区的厚度d 2之比可以为1/3,1/2、2/3、3/5,2/3,3/4,4/5,或处于以上任意数值所组成的范围内。
并非意在受限于任何理论或解释,内凹区的厚度与凸起区的厚度之比在上述合适的范围内,能够在增大电极组件的最外圈与壳体内壁之间的摩擦系数的同时,进一步提升第二底涂层的结构稳定性。由此,能够进一步降低二次电池发生跌落后失效的风险,从而进一步提升二次电池的安全性能。
在一些实施方式中,内凹区的厚度d 1可为1μm至2.5μm。例如,内凹区的厚度d 1可以为1μm,1.2μm,1.5μm,1.8μm,2μm,2.2μm,2.5μm或处于以上任意数值所组成的范围内。
并非意在受限于任何理论或解释,当内凹区的厚度在上述合适的范围内时,一方面,有利于降低第二底涂层的加工难度;另一方面有利于使得第二底涂层具有较高的机械强度,从而使得第二底涂层具有良好的结构稳定性;再一方面有利于二次电池保持高体积能量密度。由此,本申请的二次电池能够兼具高安全性能和高体积能量密度。
在一些实施方式中,电极组件的最外圈与壳体内壁的摩擦系数μ可满足:0.35≤μ≤0.5。例如,μ可以为0.35,0.4,0.45,0.5,或处于以上任意数值所组成的范围内。

并非意在受限于任何理论或解释,当电极组件的最外圈与壳体内壁的摩擦系数在上述合适的范围内时,能够显著降低二次电池发生跌落后失效的风险,从而有利于进一步提升二次电池的安全性能。
本申请对凸起区和内凹区的形状不作限制。在一些实施方式中,凸起区可由多个间隔设置的凸部组成。在一些实施方式中,内凹区可由多个间隔设置的凹部组成。作为一个示例,凸起区可以由部分底涂层加厚形成,这些的加厚区域可以形成间隔设置的多个凸部。作为另一个示例,内凹区可以由部分底涂层减薄形成,或者由部分底涂层镂空形成,这些的减薄或镂空区域可以形成间隔设置的多个凹部。作为再一个示例,第二底涂层中可以包括由部分底涂层加厚形成的多个凸部,以及由部分底涂层减薄或者由部分 底涂层镂空形成的多个凹部。多个凸部和多个凹部可以间隔设置,也可以分别连续设置于第二底涂层的不同区域。

在一些实施方式中,电极组件最外圈包括两个弯曲部和两个平直部,至少一个平直部表面设置第二底涂层,为了进一步增大摩擦面,也可以最外圈上都设置第二底涂层。
在一些实施方式中,底涂层与正极集流体的剥离强度可不低于150N/m,例如可以为150N/m以上,200N/m以上,300N/m以上或400N/m以上。
并非意在受限于任何理论或解释,底涂层与正极集流体的剥离强度在上述较高的范围内,能够使得底涂层与正极集流体紧密地结合在一起,从而提升正极集流体的结构稳定性。由此,在二次电池发生针刺或收到机械撞击时,底涂层不易从正极集流体表面脱落而使得正极集流体裸露,从而能够降低正极集流体与负极接触而引发短路的概率。由此,能够进一步提升二次电池的安全性能。

在本申请中,凸起区在第二底涂层的面积占比可以采用SEM(扫描电子显微镜)测量,作为一个示例,取涂覆有第二底涂层的样品,置于SEM视野区域内拍摄,由于SEM分辨率高,可识别出凸起区并圈起来作为标记,统计视野区域内被圈起的凸起区面积S 1;计算视野区域面积,即得到第二底涂层的面积S 0;计算S 1/S 0,得到凸起区在第二底涂层的面积占比。
本申请中底涂层与正极集流体的剥离强度具有本领域公知的含义,可采用本领域 公知的方法和仪器测定,例如,可以通过高铁拉力机,采用90°角法测定。
需要说明的是,上述针对正极集流体或底涂层的各种参数测试,可以在电池制备过程中取样测试,也可以从制备好的二次电池中取样测试。
当上述测试样品是从制备好的二次电池中取样时,作为示例,可以按如下步骤:将二次电池做放电处理(为了安全起见,一般使电池处于满放状态);将电池拆卸后取出正极极片,使用碳酸二甲酯(DMC)将正极极片浸泡一定时间(例如2至10小时);然后将正极极片取出并在一定温度和时间下干燥处理(例如60℃,4小时),干燥后取出正极极片。此时即可以在干燥后的正极极片中取样测试本申请上述的正极集流体或底涂层相关的各参数。
虽然在上面关于二次电池的实施例的描述中,主要以锂离子二次电池为具体示例说明了根据本申请的二次电池能够实现的有益效果,但是本领域技术人员容易理解,根据本申请的二次电池中,正极集流体表面包含如本申请的底涂层,因此应用于其它类型的二次电池中时,同样能够实现相应的有益效果。

综合表1可知,根据本申请的二次电池在电极组件的最外圈包括第二底涂层,能够显著降低二次电池因发生跌落而失效的风险,从而提升二次电池的安全性能。
具体地,综合实施例1至5的测试结果可知,保持内凹区厚度与凸起区厚度不变时,随着凸起区在第二底涂层的面积占比增大,电极组件最外圈与壳体内壁的摩擦系数呈先增大后减小的趋势。当凸起区在第二底涂层的面积占比在本申请的范围内时,均能够提升二次电池的跌落测试通过率。
综合实施例1和实施例6、实施例7和实施例3可知由部分底涂层减薄形成的第二底涂层和由部分底涂层加厚形成的底涂层均能够使得电极组件最外圈与壳体内壁具有较高的的摩擦系数,从而提升二次电池的跌落测试通过率。
综合实施例3、实施例8至12可知,对于由部分底涂层减薄形成的第二底涂层,随着内凹区厚度的减小,电极组件最外圈与壳体内壁的摩擦系数大体上呈增大的趋势。由实施例13的测试结果可知,由部分底涂层镂空形成的第二底涂层也能够使得电极组件最外圈与壳体内壁具有较高的摩擦系数,但底涂层减薄形成的内凹区,一定程度上降低了底涂层厚度对铝箔强度的加强效果,所以随着内凹程度增加,摩擦系数虽然增加了,但底涂层对铝箔的强化效果降低,跌落过程中铝箔撕裂风险增加,跌落的通过率降低。当内凹区厚度在合适的范围内时,二次电池的跌落测试通过率能够得到显著提升。
综合实施例3、实施例15至17可知,在电极组件最外圈的两个平直部中,至少一个平直部设置第二底涂层,即可提升二次电池的跌落测试通过率。当两个平直部均设置第二底涂层时,二次电池的跌落测试通过率能够得到进一步提升。实施例3与实施例17的二次电池的跌落测试通过率相当,说明在电极组件最外圈的弯曲部不受挤压,或受挤压程度较小时,可减少电极组件最外圈设置有第二底涂层的区域,仅在电极组件最外圈的两个平直部设置第二底涂层,以降低二次电池的原料成本,此外通过实施例3和实施例18可知,当第二底涂层不含导电剂,其无机颗粒的组分含量较多时,跌落的通过率会进一步提升,这是由于无机颗粒含量增加,会增强电极组件最外圈的强度,同时不含导电剂,第二底涂层绝缘,避免在跌落过程中防止金属碎屑进入电极组件内部,导致短路。
而相对于此,对比例4的电极组件最外圈未设置底涂层,电极组件最外圈与壳体内壁的摩擦系数较小,二次电池的跌落测试通过率明显低于实施例1至17。对比例5的电极组件最外圈虽然设置了厚度一致的底涂层,但是电极组件最外圈与壳体内壁的摩擦系数仍然较小,由此,二次电池的跌落测试通过率也低于实施例1至17。对比例1至3的电极组件最外圈虽然设置了具有凸起区和内凹区的第二底涂层,但是对比例1中,凸起区在第二底涂层的面积占比过小,对比例2至3中,凸起区在第二底涂层的面积占比过大。由此,对比例1至3中,电极组件最外圈与壳体内壁的摩擦系数仍然较小,二次电池的跌落测试通过率也不理想。
以上所述,仅为本申请的具体实施方式,但本申请的保护范围并不局限于此,任何熟悉本技术领域的技术人员在本申请揭露的技术范围内,可轻易想到各种等效的修改或替换,这些修改或替换都应涵盖在本申请的保护范围之内。因此,本申请的保护范围应以权利要求的保护范围为准。
