In the pole piece coating process, an active material is coated on a coating region of a current collector, and a region where the active material is not coated is called a blank region, and the blank region is used for manufacturing/connecting a tab. In the case of a current collector used for coating, the thickness of the current collector is generally uniform throughout, and if the thickness of the current collector is small, a blank area is liable to be wrinkled or even broken by pulling when the current collector is guided by a pull roll to travel in a coating process. To overcome this problem, if the current collector thickness is increased, the pole piece volume is increased, and the battery energy density is reduced.
In order to reduce the problems of wrinkling, breakage and the like of the blank area of the current collector in the coating process, the thickness of the blank area can be increased, so that the capability of the blank area for resisting wrinkling and breakage can be improved, that is, the problems can be solved by preparing the current collectors with unequal thicknesses of the coating area and the blank area (the section is reviewed, only background information is used, and the prior art is not formed).
Electrolytic processes are a means of producing current collectors (e.g., copper foil) that are relatively simple in process and can be used for continuous and mass production in a roll-to-roll manner with great industrial application potential. At present, most of the existing electrolytic devices only can produce current collectors with uniform thickness, but cannot be suitable for the production of current collectors with uneven thickness.
In order to provide an electrolysis device which can adapt to current collectors with uneven thickness, the embodiment of the application designs an electrolysis roller, the main invention concept is that the electrolysis roller is divided into a plurality of sections of roller parts with unequal roller surface currents in the axial direction of the electrolysis roller, in the electrolysis process, the thickness of the current collector layer deposited on the roller surface of each roller part is uneven within the same time due to the unequal roller surface currents of each section of roller part, so that the current collectors with uneven thickness can be continuously prepared by an electrolysis method, the current collectors with uneven thickness are used as blank areas in thicker areas when pole pieces are prepared by utilizing the current collectors with uneven thickness, and the thickness of the blank areas is larger, so that the pole pieces are not easy to wrinkle and break, and the quality of the pole pieces is improved.
The electrolytic device disclosed in the embodiment of the application is a device for producing a current collector in a roll-to-roll manner based on an electrolytic method. Typically, but not limited to, the electrolytic device includes an anode tank, an electrolyte, and the like in addition to the electrolytic roll provided in the embodiments of the present application as a cathode roll of the electrolytic device. The electrolyte is contained in the anode tank, and the electrolytic roller is at least partially arranged in the anode tank. Taking electrolytic copper foil as an example, the anode tank body can be made of silver alloy, and the electrolyte can be copper sulfate electrolyte. The anode tank body is connected with the positive electrode of the power supply, the electrolytic roll is connected with the negative electrode of the power supply, and in the electrolytic process, copper ions in the electrolyte continuously obtain electrons to crystallize on the surface of the electrolytic roll, and copper foil with required thickness is gradually deposited. Of course, the electrolytic device may also include a device/mechanism for rolling and post-treating the deposited copper foil, and reference may be made to the conventional arrangement of the electrolytic device.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view of an electrolytic roll 10 in one or more embodiments.
According to one or more embodiments of the present application, please refer to fig. 1, an electrolytic roll 10 provided in the embodiments of the present application includes a plurality of roll portions 10A sequentially connected along an axial direction F thereof, the plurality of roll portions 10A sequentially connected along the axial direction F of the electrolytic roll 10, and roll surfaces M of all the roll portions 10A are continuously disposed, wherein the electrolytic roll 10 is configured such that, in an energized state, roll surface currents between two adjacent roll portions 10A are unequal.
The electrolytic roll 10 has a substantially cylindrical or cylindrical shape and is rotatable about its axial direction F. Typically the electrolytic roll 10 is applied as a cathode roll in an electrolysis apparatus.
The electrolytic roll 10 is divided along the axial direction F into a plurality of roll portions 10A, and the roll portions 10A are connected to each other in sequence. The roll surface M of the roll portion 10A is an outer circumferential surface provided around the axial direction F of the electrolytic roll 10, and is a circumferential surface. The roll surfaces M of all the roll portions 10A constitute the roll surfaces M of the electrolytic roll 10. The roll surfaces M of all the roll portions 10A are continuously arranged, which means that the roll surfaces M of adjacent roll portions 10A are directly connected and are not spaced apart from each other. It will be appreciated that the projections of the roll surfaces M of the respective roll portions 10A are coincident with each other along the axial direction F of the electrolytic roll 10.
In the energized state, the electrolytic roll 10 is connected to the negative electrode of the power source, and the electric charges are passed through the roll surface M of each roll portion 10A to form an electric current. The current is not equal between the roll surfaces M of the adjacent roll portions 10A. Specifically, but not limited to, the roll surface currents of the respective roll portions 10A in the energized state may be measured using an electric current measuring device (e.g., a multimeter, ammeter), and whether the roll surface currents of the respective roll portions 10A are unequal may be determined based on the measurement results. The roll surface current may be varied between any one or more of the adjacent roll portions 10A.
Taking the electrolyte in the electrolytic device as copper sulfate for example, when copper ions move to the roll surface M of each roll portion 10A of the electrolytic roll 10, the greater the roll surface current, the faster the copper ions deposit on the roll surface M to obtain a copper foil layer, whereas the smaller the roll surface current, the slower the copper ions deposit on the roll surface M to obtain a copper foil layer. Thus, the greater the roll surface current, the greater the thickness of the deposited layer deposited by the roll portion 10A at the same time.
In the electrolytic roll 10, the thickness of the deposited layers deposited on the roll portions 10A is different due to the roll portions 10A having the different roll surface currents, and the deposited layers having the different thicknesses are integrally connected due to the continuous arrangement of the roll surfaces M of the roll portions 10A, so that the current collectors J having the different thicknesses can be produced. When the current collectors J with different thicknesses are used for preparing the pole pieces, the current collector J part with larger thickness can be used as a blank zone J2, so that the occurrence of the problems of wrinkling, breakage and the like of the current collector J can be reduced, and the yield of the pole pieces is improved.
In some embodiments, any two alternate roller sections 10A are configured to have equal roller face currents.
The two alternate roller portions 10A are two roller portions 10A provided adjacently on opposite sides in the axial direction F of the same roller portion 10A. The equal roll surface currents of the two roll portions 10A at any intervals indicate that the thickness of the current collector J deposited on the two roll portions 10A at any intervals is the same during electrolysis. It is understood that the roll surface current of the roll portion 10A located between the two roll portions 10A that are spaced apart is not equal to the roll surface current of the "two roll portions 10A that are spaced apart".
Fig. 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a current collector J in one or more embodiments. The cross section of the current collector J shown in fig. 2 is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction thereof. When the roll surface currents of the two roll portions 10A at any interval are equal, a current collector J structure having a cross section as shown in fig. 2 can be deposited on the electrolytic roll 10. In the current collector J structure shown in fig. 2, a region having a smaller thickness is used as the coating region J1, and a region having a larger thickness is used as the blank region J2.
At this time, the current collectors J with equal thickness between the blank areas J2 and the coating areas J1 and unequal thickness between the blank areas J2 and the coating areas J1 can be deposited on the electrolytic roller 10, and when the current collector J is used for manufacturing a pole piece, the thickness of each blank area J2 is larger, so that the probability of fracture and wrinkling of the current collector J in the coating process can be further reduced, and the quality of the pole piece is improved.
In some embodiments, the axial widths of the respective roller portions 10A having equal roller surface currents are equal, and the axial width of the roller portion 10A having a larger roller surface current is smaller than the axial width of the roller portion 10A having a smaller roller surface current in the adjacent two roller portions 10A.
The axial width of the roller portion 10A is the shortest distance between both ends of the roller portion 10A in the axial direction F. In general, both ends in the axial direction F of the roller portion 10A are parallel to each other. The equal axial width of the roll portion 10A with equal roll surface current allows to deposit a current collector J region of equal thickness and width, such as a current collector J of equal thickness and width of the coating region J1.
The axial width of the roll portion 10A with a larger roll surface current is smaller than that of the roll portion 10A with a smaller roll surface current, and a current collector J with a thicker deposited layer having a smaller width than that of the thinner deposited layer can be obtained on the electrolytic roll 10. In practical application, the thicker area is used as the blank area J2 and has a small width, the thinner area is used as the coating area J1 and has a large width, and the coating of active substances on the pole piece is facilitated to be improved, so that the energy density of the pole piece is improved.
FIG. 3 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an electrolytic roll 10 of one or more embodiments.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 3, all the roller portions 10A include a plurality of first roller portions 11 disposed adjacent to each other in sequence, and each of the first roller portions 11 includes a first roller base 11a. The first roller bodies 11a of all the first roller portions 11 are disposed electrically in series in the axial direction F.
The first roller base 11a is substantially roller-shaped, and is cylindrical and columnar around the axial direction F of the electrolytic roller 10. The respective first roller bases 11a should be rotated synchronously.
The first roller substrates 11a are electrically connected in series, which means that a current flows through each first roller substrate 11a in sequence in the energized state of the electrolytic roller 10. It is understood that each first roller base 11a is a conductor, and the material for preparing the same may be selected from pure copper, copper alloy, etc., and the material for the first roller base 11a is specifically selected according to the material to be deposited, which will not be described herein.
The arrangement of the first roller bodies 11a in electrical series may be, but not limited to, direct electrical connection between the first roller bodies 11a, or electrical series connection between the first roller bodies 11a via wires.
At this time, the roller portions 10A are electrically connected in series by the first roller base 11a, which contributes to shortening the connection conduction and reducing the energizing cost when an external power source is connected.
In some embodiments, the at least one first roller portion 11 further includes a first semi-insulating layer 11b covering the outer peripheral surface of the first roller base 11a, and the outer surface of the first semi-insulating layer 11b facing away from the first roller base 11a serves as the roller surface M of the first roller portion 11.
The first semi-insulating layer 11b is a layer structure formed of a semi-insulating material. The outer peripheral surface of the first roller base 11a is a peripheral surface provided around the axial direction F of the electrolytic roller 10, the first semi-insulating layer 11b is provided around the outer peripheral surface of the first roller base 11a, and the outer surface thereof is configured as a roller surface M of the first roller portion 11. That is, the current of the outer surface of the first semi-insulating layer 11b serves as the roll surface current of the first roll portion 11 where it is located.
The semi-insulating material is a material which is conductive at normal temperature between the conductor and the insulating material, and can be selected from silicon carbide, gallium arsenide, gallium nitride, gallium phosphide and the like. The specific choice of semi-insulating material can be flexibly chosen by a person skilled in the art.
The first semi-insulating layer 11b may be provided on the first roller base 11a by coating, spraying, or the like.
In the energized state, since the first roller substrates 11a are electrically connected in series, the current levels of the first roller substrates 11a are substantially equal, and the first semi-insulating layer 11b has lower conductivity than the first roller substrates 11a, the current levels in the first roller substrates 11a are higher than the current levels of the first semi-insulating layer 11b. In this way, the first semi-insulating layer 11b can make the roll surface current of the first roll portion 11 where the first roll base 11a is located different from the roll surface current of the other first roll portions 11.
At this time, by providing the first semi-insulating layer 11b on the first roller base 11a of the first roller portion 11, the roller surface current of the first roller portion 11 can be made different from the roller surface currents of the other first roller portions 11, and the structure is simple and easy to realize.
Since the material of the first semi-insulating layer 11b is generally high in price, the thickness of the first semi-insulating layer 11b is generally small, and may be selected to be 0-3um (e.g. 0.5um, 1um, 1.5um, 2um, 2.5um, 3 um), which is specifically set according to practical needs.
Fig. 4 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an electrolytic roll 10 of one or more embodiments.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 4, in two adjacent first roller portions 11, the outer peripheral surface of the first roller base 11a of each first roller portion 11 is provided with a first semi-insulating layer 11b having an unequal thickness.
In some examples, the outer peripheral surface of the first roller base 11a of each first roller portion 11 is covered with the first semi-insulating layer 11b. Further, the materials of the first semi-insulating layers 11b are the same, so that the magnitude of the current of the roll surface M formed by the first semi-insulating layers 11b can be controlled conveniently.
The thickness of the first semi-insulating layer 11b refers to the dimension of the first semi-insulating layer 11b in the radial direction of the electrolytic roll 10. Typically, the thickness of the first semi-insulating layer 11b is uniform throughout.
Since the first roller substrates 11a are conductors and the first roller substrates 11a are electrically connected in series, the magnitude of the current on the outer peripheral surface of each first roller substrate 11a is substantially equal. If the first semi-insulating layers 11b having the same thickness are coated on the first roller base 11a, the roller surface currents formed by the first semi-insulating layers 11b are substantially the same.
At this time, when the adjacent two first roller portions 11 each include the first semi-insulating layer 11b, the thickness of each first semi-insulating layer 11b is made different, and the roller surface currents of each first roller portion 11 can be made different.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 3, at least an outer peripheral surface of the first roller base 11a of the first roller portion 11 is used as the roller surface M of the first roller portion 11.
That is, the first semi-insulating layer 11b is not provided on the outer peripheral surface of the first roller body 11a of the first roller portion 11, and the outer peripheral surface of the first roller body 11a is directly used as the deposition surface (i.e., the roller surface M).
In this way, the consumable material of the first semi-insulating layer 11b can be reduced, and the manufacturing cost of the electrolytic roll 10 can be reduced.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 3 and 4, the first roller base 11a of all the first roller portions 11 is integrally formed.
As an example, the electrolytic roll 10 may be produced by roughly forming a plurality of grooves provided around the axial direction F of the felt roll (corresponding to the axial direction F of the electrolytic roll 10) on the felt roll to obtain a base material (the base material is all the first roll base 11a integrally formed); and then semi-insulating material is coated, filled and sprayed in each groove to obtain the electrolytic roll 10.
At this time, the first roller substrates 11a are integrally formed, so that the processing process of the electrolytic roller 10 can be simplified, and the electric serial arrangement of the first roller substrates 11a is realized without the assistance of other means, so that the structure of the electrolytic roller 10 is simpler.
Of course, in other embodiments, the respective first roller bases 11a may be connected to each other by means such as being mounted on the roller shafts 10B.
Fig. 5 is a schematic cross-sectional view of an electrolytic roll 10 of one or more embodiments.
In some embodiments, referring to fig. 5, all the roller portions 10A include a plurality of second roller portions 12 sequentially arranged along the axial direction F, each of the second roller portions 12 includes a second roller base 12a, and the second roller base 12a of each of the second roller portions 12 are electrically connected in parallel; of any two adjacent second roller portions 12, one of the second roller portions 12 further includes an isolation layer 12b, the isolation layer 12b includes an insulating inner layer b1 and a semi-insulating outer layer b2, the semi-insulating outer layer b2 is disposed on the outer peripheral surface of the insulating inner layer b1, and both are connected between the second roller bases 12a of the two adjacent second roller portions 12.
The second roller base 12a is substantially roller-shaped, and is cylindrical and columnar around the axial direction F of the electrolytic roller 10. The respective second roller bases 12a should be rotated synchronously.
The second roller substrates 12a are electrically connected in parallel, that is, a plurality of paths of electric currents flow through the respective second roller substrates 12a in the energized state of the electrolytic roller 10. As an example, referring to fig. 5, the current roller further includes a roller shaft 10B, and all the second roller substrates 12a are sequentially sleeved on the roller shaft 10B. The roll shaft 10B is a hollow shaft, in which a plurality of electric connectors 15 are disposed, and each second roll base 12a is correspondingly connected with one electric connector 15. In practice, a plurality of wires connected in parallel may be inserted into the roller shaft 10B and connected to the respective power receiving members 15, so as to realize the electrically parallel arrangement of the respective second roller substrates 12a. Of course, the manner of achieving the arrangement of the respective second roller bases 12a in electrical parallel connection is not limited to the above-described one, and a person skilled in the art can make a conventional design.
Between two adjacent second roller portions 12, one of the second roller portions 12 includes a separator 12b. The isolation layer 12b includes an insulating inner layer b1 and a semi-insulating outer layer b2. The insulating inner layer b1 is a layered structure formed of an insulating material including, but not limited to, ceramics, plastics, insulating glue, and the like. The semi-insulating inner layer b1 is a ring-shaped structure formed of a semi-insulating material, and is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the insulating inner layer b 1. The choice of semi-insulating material may be described with reference to the above. The insulating inner layer b1 and the semi-insulating outer layer b2 may be provided on the second roller base 12a where they are provided by coating, spraying, or the like.
Between two adjacent second roller portions 12, an insulating inner layer b1 is disposed between the two second roller bases 12a in an electrically isolated manner, and the junctions between the second roller bases 12a are electrically connected by a semi-insulating outer layer b2, the outer peripheral surface of the semi-insulating outer layer b2 constitutes a partial roller surface M of the second roller portion 12 where a deposition layer of a certain thickness can be deposited on, and the deposition layers deposited on the two second roller bases 12a can be continuously connected by the deposition layer. It will be appreciated that the radial dimension of the insulating inner layer b1 is greater than the radial dimension of the semi-insulating outer layer b2, i.e. the thickness of the semi-insulating outer layer b2 is smaller.
Normally, the second roller substrates 12a of the second roller sections 12 arranged alternately are equal in current which is fed in, and the second roller substrates 12a are equal in axial width. The second roller substrates 12a of the adjacent two second roller sections 12 are different in current. Further, the second roller base 12a having a larger axial length F receives a smaller current to form a coating region J1 having a larger width and a smaller thickness of the current collector J.
At this time, the second roller substrates 12a of the second roller portion 12 are arranged in parallel, and the electrical isolation between the respective second roller substrates 12a is achieved by the insulating inner layer b1 of the isolation layer 12b, and the continuity of the deposition layer on the respective second roller substrates 12a is achieved by the semi-insulating outer layer b2, so that the current collectors J having unequal thicknesses can be continuously prepared.

The current drawn between all third roller sections 13 is typically equal and the current drawn between all fourth roller sections 14 is typically equal. Typically, the axial width of the third roller portion 13 is greater than the axial width of the fourth roller portion 14.
At this time, the coating region J1 having a small thickness may be deposited on the roll surface M of the third roll portion 13, and the blank region J2 having a large thickness may be deposited on the roll surface M of the fourth roll portion 14, thereby obtaining the current collector J having a different thickness.

Further, the axial direction F length of the first roller base 11a whose outer peripheral surface is directly the roller surface M is smaller than the axial direction F length of the first roller base 11a covered with the first semi-insulating layer 11b.
In another embodiment, referring to fig. 4, all the roller portions 10A are first roller portions 11, the first roller base 11a of each first roller portion 11 is covered with a first semi-insulating layer 11b, the first semi-insulating layer 11b of one of the two adjacent first roller portions 11 is different from the first semi-insulating layer 11b of the other first roller portion 11 in thickness, and the thicknesses of the first semi-insulating layers 11b of the two first roller portions 11 arranged alternately are the same. Further, the axial F length of the first roller base 11a where the first semi-insulating layer 11b having a larger thickness is located is longer than the axial F length of the first roller base 11a where the first semi-insulating layer 11b having a smaller thickness is located.
