It can be understood that the current collector is generally in the form of a sheet, and has two functional surfaces, and the thermal expansion coating 1 is disposed on at least one functional surface of the current collector 6, including the thermal expansion coating 1 disposed on one functional surface of the current collector 6 as shown in fig. 4, and in this case, the other functional surface of the current collector 6 may not be provided with the thermal expansion layer 1. Fig. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of an electrode sheet according to another embodiment of the present invention, and as shown in fig. 5, thermal expansion coatings 1 may also be disposed on two functional surfaces of a current collector 6, so as to further improve the safety performance of the electrode sheet.
The current collector 6 is not limited strictly, for example, the current collector 6 may be one of an aluminum foil and a copper foil, and may be selected according to the use of the electrode sheet in the specific implementation process.
It can be understood that the active layer 7 functions to further reduce the influence of the thermal expansion coating 1 on the capacity of the electrode sheet and increase the energy density of the electrode sheet during normal charge and discharge of the electrode sheet. The active layer 7 in the present invention includes an active material, and illustratively, the mass percentage of the active material in the active layer 7 is higher than that of the active material in the thermal expansion coating layer 1, and the thickness of the active layer 7 is generally larger than that of the thermal expansion coating layer 1, and the active layer 7 is a composition mainly generating energy in the electrode sheet.

The active material, conductive agent and adhesive in the active layer 7 may be the same as or different from those in the thermal expansion coating layer 1, and may be selected according to the use and structure of the electrode sheet in a specific process.
Illustratively, the active material in the active layer 7 may be LiCoO2、LiFePO4、LiNi0.3Co0.3Mn0.3O2、LiNi0.5Co0.3Mn0.2O2、LiNi0.6Co0.2Mn0.2O2、LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2、LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2、LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4At least one of (1); the conductive agent in the active layer 7 may be at least one of acetylene black, conductive carbon black, ketjen black, carbon nanotubes, and graphene; the binder in the active layer 7 can be polyvinylidene fluoride and carboxymethyl celluloseAt least one of sodium cellulose and sodium alginate.

The thermal expansion coating 1 is disposed between the current collector 6 and the active layer 7 to act as a conductive bridge between the active layer 7 and the current collector 1. When the electrochemical energy storage device is subjected to thermal abuse, the thermal expansion polymer 2 in the thermal expansion coating 1 expands, an electron transmission path between an active material in the active layer 7 and the current collector 6 is enlarged, the electron transmission rate between the active material in the active layer 7 and the current collector 6 is reduced, electron transfer between the active material in the active layer 7 and the current collector is blocked, a conductive network in the electrode plate is damaged, further temperature rise of the electrochemical energy storage device during thermal abuse can be relieved, and the safety performance of the electrochemical energy storage device is improved. Because the active material in the active layer 7 is the part of the electrode plate mainly generating energy, the effect of blocking the electron transmission between the active material in the active layer 7 and the current collector 6 to reduce the temperature rise and improve the safety performance of the electrode plate during heat abuse is most obvious.

It can be understood that, in the present embodiment, the side of the thermal expansion coating layer 1 remote from the functional surface of the current collector 6 is provided with the separator 8. When the electrochemical energy storage device is subjected to thermal abuse, the temperature of the electrode plate rises, the thermal expansion polymer 2 in the thermal expansion coating 1 expands, the distance between the active layer 7 and the diaphragm 8 is increased, ion transmission is blocked, and the safety performance of the electrode plate is improved.
