Description

电化学装置及用电设备 技术领域
本申请实施例涉及电化学技术领域,尤其涉及一种电化学装置及用电设备。
背景技术
随着科技的不断发展,电化学装置(包括但不限于锂离子电池、钠离子电池等)得到了广泛的应用,其为人们使用平板电脑、手机、电动交通工具、储能设备等设备提供了便利。
在相关技术中的一类电化学装置中,其由阴极极片、阳极极片以及设置于两者之间的隔离膜构成,其在制备过程中,需在阴极极片和阳极极片上的集流体的边缘空白区域电连接极耳。对于这类电化学装置而言,如何提高其制备优率是一个需要解决的技术问题。
发明内容
有鉴于此,本申请实施例提供一种电化学装置及用电设备,以至少部分解决上述问题。
根据本申请实施例的第一方面,提供一种电化学装置,包括:极片,极片包括集流体、活性材料层及极耳连接片,在极片展开状态下,集流体沿极片的宽度方向包括第一部分及第二部分,活性材料层设置在第一部分的表面,第二部分为未设置活性材料层的空箔区,极耳连接片与第二部分的表面重叠形成重叠区,极耳连接片焊接在第二部分的表面以与第二部分形成电连接,沿极片的长度方向,焊印面积与焊接区面积之比大于或等于20%,焊接区长度与重叠区长度之比大于或等于60%。
本申请实施例中,极片包括阴极极片和阳极极片,由于该电化学装置的阴极极片的阴极极耳连接片焊接在阴极集流体的第二部分(即阴极集流体上的边缘空箔区)的表面,阳极极片的阳极极耳连接片焊接在阳极集流体的第二部分(即阳极集流体上的边缘空箔区)的表面,因此在本申请中将阴极极耳从阴极集流体上引出时,可以不再是直接在阴极集流体的第二部分上电连接阴极极耳,而可以通过与阴极集流体的第二部分相焊接的阴极极耳连接片与阴极极耳电连接,并且在本申请中将阳极极耳从阳极集流体上引出时,可以不再是直接在阳极集流体的第二部分上电连接阳极极耳,而可以通过与阳极集流体的第二部分相焊接的阳极极耳连接片与阳极极耳电连接,基于此,在制备本申请中的电化学装置的阴极极片时,在对阴极极片进行冷压时阴极极片不易打皱,且在制备本申请中的电化学装置的阳极极片时,在对阳极极片进行冷压时阳极极片不易打皱,因而通过这样的阴极极片和阳极极片制成电化学装置,能够有效地提高电化学装置的制备优率。
此外,本申请的电化学装置沿极片的长度方向,焊印面积与焊接区面积之比大于或等于20%,可以保证第二部分可以与极耳连接片能够形成稳定焊接,且焊接区长度与重叠区长度之比大于或等于60%,可以保证焊印在焊接区在重叠区分布均匀,避免焊印集中导致局部强度过大或者其他部分的强度过小,避免由此导致的加工困难。
可选地,极片为阴极极片,第一部分包括相连接的第一子部分和第二子部分,第二子部分与第二部分相连接,活性材料层设置于第一子部分上,第二子部分上设置有绝缘层;沿极片的宽度方向,第二部分包括靠近第一子部分的第一侧和远离第一子部分的第二侧,极耳连接片包括靠近第一子部分的第一侧和远离第一子部分的第二侧;其中,极耳连接片与第一子部分存在间距,且第二部分的第二侧,位于极耳连接片的第一侧和极耳连接片的第二侧之间。
在相关技术中,在阴极极片制备过程中,其中一种防止阴极极片在冷压时打皱的方式是:先将设置好阴极活性材料层和绝缘层的阴极极片进行冷压,在进行冷压前先将阴极极片的阴极集流体的边缘空箔区进行拉伸,使得阴极集流体的边缘空箔区和绝缘层的变形程度趋于一致,从而防止后续对阴极极片进行冷压时阴极极片打皱。但是,这样虽能减缓冷压时阴极极片的打皱问题,但由于增加了阴极极片的冷压张力,导致冷压过程中的阴极极片容易出现断裂现象,也降低了电化学装置的制备优率。而本申请实施例中,在将阴极极耳从阴极集流体的阴极集流体第二部分(即阴极集流体的边缘空箔区)上引出时,可以不再是直接在阴极集流体第二部分上电连接阴极极耳,而可以通过与阴极集流体第二部分相焊接的阴极极耳连接片与阴极极耳电连接,这样就使得在制备电化学装置 的阴极极片时,在对阴极极片进行冷压前可以不必对该阴极极片的阴极集流体第二部分(即阴极集流体的边缘空箔区)进行拉伸,也同样能够改善后续对阴极极片进行冷压时阴极极片打皱的问题,并且由于可以不必对阴极极片的阴极集流体第二部分(即阴极集流体的边缘空箔区)进行拉伸,也减小了阴极极片的冷压张力,从而改善了冷压过程中的阴极极片容易出现断裂的问题,因此能够提高电化学装置的制备优率。另外本申请的绝缘层能够对第二子部分和阳极极片进行绝缘和隔离,可以有效防止阴极极片和阳极极片之间发生短路。
可选地,沿极片的宽度方向,极耳连接片的宽度d1满足:3mm≤d1≤25mm。

以极片为阴极极片为例,由于阴极极耳通过焊接与阴极极耳连接片形成电连接时,在阴极极耳连接片上形成的第二焊印与第一焊印不能重叠,若重叠则会影响阴极极耳与阴极极耳连接片之间的焊接效果,使得两者的焊接拉力降低;而若第一焊印的第二侧与第二焊印的第一侧之间的间距d8过大时(例如d8>10mm时),则容易影响电化学装置的能量密度。本实施例中通过采取这样的d8的取值范围,既能够避免第二焊印与第一焊印重叠时产生的弊端,又能够避免第一焊印的第二侧与第二焊印的第一侧之间的间距d8过大时产生的弊端,从而满足电化学装置的使用需要,进而提高电化学装置的制备优率。
可选地,第二部分与极耳连接片之间的焊接拉力大于等于70N且小于等于1000N。
由于第二部分与极耳连接片之间的焊接拉力过小时,容易在使用电化学装置时导致极耳连接片从第二部分上脱落;而第二部分与极耳连接片之间的焊接拉力过大时,影响在制备电化学装置时的成本。本实施例中的焊接拉力满足上述的取值范围,既能够较好地避免第二部分与极耳连接片之间的焊接拉力过小的弊端,又能较好地避免第二部分与极耳连接片之间的焊接拉力过大的弊端,从而满足电化学装置的使用需要,进而提高电化学装置的制备优率。
根据本申请实施例的另一方面,提供了一种用电设备,其包括上述的电化学装置。
本申请实施例中的用电设备包括上述第一方面提供的电化学装置,由于该电化学装置的制备优率较高,因此该用电设备的制备优率也较高。

具体实施方式
为了使本领域的人员更好地理解本申请实施例中的技术方案,下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对本申请实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、详细地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅是本申请实施例一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员所获得的所有其他实施例,都应当属于本申请实施例保护的范围。
在下面的描述中,先对本申请实施例中的电化学装置及用电设备进行具体说明,然后给出本申请实施例中的的一些相关的实验例和对比例,用于说明本申请实施例中提供的电化学装置及用电设备相对于现有技术的显著优势。
下面结合附图说明本申请实施例的电化学装置及用电设备的具体实现。需要说明的是,下面各个附图中为便于进行示意,各结构其未必是按照实际比例绘制的。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例的内容中,以锂离子电池作为电化学装置10的例子来解释本申请,但是本申请的电化学装置10并不仅限于锂离子电池,例如还可以为钠离子电池等。
本申请的第一方面,提供一种电化学装置,包括:极片,极片包括集流体、活性材料层及极耳连接片,在极片展开状态下,集流体沿极片的宽度方向包括第一部分及第二部分,活性材料层设置在第一部分的表面,第二部分为未设置活性材料层的空箔区,极耳连接片与第二部分的表面重叠形成重叠区,极耳连接片焊接在第二部分的表面以与第二部分形成电连接,沿极片的长度方向,焊印面积与焊接区面积之比大于或等于20%,焊接区长度与重叠区长度之比大于或等于60%。
本申请的电化学装置的极片可以包括阴极极片和阳极极片。在本申请的任一可选实施例中,极片为阴极极片时,集流体为阴极集流体,活性材料层为阴极活性材料层,极耳连接片为阴极极耳连接片,与极耳连接片电连接的极耳为阴极极耳;极片为阳极极片时,集流体为阳极集流体,活性材料层为阳极活性材料层,极耳连接片为阳极极耳连接片,与极耳连接片电连接的极耳为阳极极耳。为便于说明本申请实施例中的电化学装置,本申请电化学装置主要以极片为阴极极片为例,不再赘述阳极极片。下面结合图1-图9进行说明。参照图1-图9所示,本申请实施例中公开了一种示例性的电化学装置10,其包括:阴极极片1、阳极极片2、隔离膜3、阴极极耳41、阳极极耳;隔离膜3设置于阴极极片1和阳极极片2之间;阴极极片1包括阴极集流体11、阴极活性材料层12、阴极极耳连接片51,阴极集流体11沿极片的宽度方向Y包括第一部分及第二部分,阴极活性材料层12设置在阴极集流体的第一部分的表面,阴极集流体的第二部分为未设置阴极活性材料层12的空箔区,阴极极耳连接片51与第二部分的表面重叠形成重叠区,阴极极耳连接片51焊接在阴极 集流体的第二部分表面上以与阴极集流体的第二部分形成电连接,焊印面积与焊接区面积之比大于或等于20%,沿极片的长度方向,焊接区长度与重叠区长度之比大于或等于60%。
本申请实施例中,由于该电化学装置的阴极极片的阴极极耳连接片焊接在阴极集流体的第二部分(即阴极集流体上的边缘空箔区)的表面,因此在本申请中将阴极极耳从阴极集流体上引出时,可以不再是直接在阴极集流体的第二部分上电连接阴极极耳,而可以通过与阴极集流体的第二部分相焊接的阴极极耳连接片与阴极极耳电连接,基于此,在制备本申请中的电化学装置的阴极极片时,在对阴极极片进行冷压时阴极极片不易打皱,能够有效地提高电化学装置的制备优率。
可选地,参照图1,电化学装置10可以由阴极极片1、隔离膜3、阳极极片2卷绕制成。应理解,这仅作为示意,而不应视为对本实施例的限制。具体地,在卷绕成电化学装置后,隔离膜3设置于阴极极片1和阳极极片2之间,可以隔离阴极极片1和阳极极片2,防止电化学装置内部阴阳极短路,并可使离子通过,并可保持阴极极片1、隔离膜3、阳极极片2之间的电解液的功能。
为便于表述,下文中将阴极集流体的第一部分简称为阴极集流体第一部分(图中标号为111),将阴极集流体的第二部分简称为阴极集流体第二部分(图中标号为112),本实施例的阴极极片1中,阴极集流体第一部分111和阴极集流体第二部分112可以是导电箔材。
在一些实施例中,极片为阴极极片1时,阴极集流体第一部分111包括相连接的第一子部分1111和第二子部分1112,第二子部分1112与阴极集流体第二部分112相连接,阴极活性材料层12设置于第一子部分上,第二子部分上设置有绝缘层13;沿极片的宽度方向Y,阴极集流体第二部分112包括靠近第一子部分1111的第一侧和远离第一子部分1111的第二侧,阴极极耳连接片51包括靠近第一子部分1111的第一侧和远离第一子部分1111的第二侧;其中,阴极极耳连接片51与第一子部分1111存在间距,且阴极集流体第二部分112的第二侧,位于阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧和阴极极耳连接片51的第二侧之间。
具体地,在相关技术中,在阴极极片制备过程中,其中一种防止阴极极片在冷压时打皱的方式是:先将设置好阴极活性材料层和绝缘层的阴极极片进行冷压,在进行冷压前先将阴极极片的阴极集流体的边缘空箔区进行拉伸,使得阴极集流体的边缘空箔区和绝缘层的变形程度趋于一致,从而防止后续对阴极极片进行冷压时阴极极片打皱。但是,这样虽能减缓冷压时阴极极片的打皱问题,但由于增加了阴极极片的冷压张力,导致冷压过程中的阴极极片容易出现断裂现象,也降低了电化学装置的制备优率。
而本申请实施例中,在将阴极极耳41从阴极集流体11的阴极集流体第二部分112(即阴极集流体11的边缘空箔区)上引出时,可以不再是直接在阴极集流体第二部分112上电连接阴极极耳41,而可以通过与阴极集流体第二部分112相焊接的阴极极耳连接片51与阴极极耳41电连接,这样就使得在制备电化学装置10的阴极极片1时,在对阴极极片1进行冷压前可以不必对该阴极极片1的阴极集流体第二部分112(即阴极集流体11的边缘空箔区)进行拉伸,也同样能够改善后续对阴极极片1进行冷压时阴极极片1打皱的问题,并且由于可以不必对阴极极片1的阴极集流体第二部分112(即阴极集流体11的边缘空箔区)进行拉伸,也减小了阴极极片1的冷压张力,从而改善了冷压过程中的阴极极片1容易出现断裂的问题,因此能够提高电化学装置的制备优率。
绝缘层13能够对第二子部分1112和阳极极片2进行绝缘和隔离,可以有效防止阴极极片1和阳极极片2之间发生短路。
由于阴极集流体第一部分111可以为导电箔材,因此第一子部分1111和第二子部分1112均可以为导电箔材。阴极集流体11中,第一子部分1111和阴极集流体第二部分112分别连接于第二子部分1112沿极片的宽度方向上的两侧。
参照图4A、图4B、图4C,示出了图3A中的阴极极片1的沿厚度方向的截面示意图的示意。
图4A、图4B、图4C中也示意性地示出了与阴极极耳连接片51形成电连接的阴极极耳41的位置。图4A、图4B、图4C仅用于便于示意性地说明本实施例,而并不作为对本实施例的限制。
阴极极耳连接片51与第一子部分1111存在间距,可以避免制成的电化学装置10厚度过厚。并且由于离子可以穿过隔离膜3和阴极活性材料层12、阳极活性材料层22,但不能穿过阴极极耳连接片51(下文中会介绍,阴极极耳连接片51可以是导电箔材等,导电箔材例如镀铝箔材等),因此阴极极耳连接片51与阴极集流体第一部分111存在间距可以防止阴极极耳连接片51夹在阴极极片1的阴极活性材料层12(包括阴极活性材料)和阳极极片2的阳极活性材料层22(包括阳极 活性材料)之间,阻碍阴阳极离子传输。
阴极集流体第二部分112的第二侧位于阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧与阴极极耳连接片51的第二侧之间,相当于阴极极耳连接片51可作为阴极集流体第二部分112的延长部分。
本实施例中的电化学装置10的阴极极耳41和阳极极耳42可以位于电化学装置10的同一侧,也可以是位于电化学装置10的不同侧。
本实施例中,阴极极片1的第一子部分1111上设置的阴极活性材料层12包括阴极活性材料,在此不限制阴极活性材料的种类,例如可以是钴酸锂、锰酸锂、磷酸铁锂等。在一些实施例中,阴极活性材料层12可以是涂层,也即阴极活性材料层12涂覆于第一子部分1111上。这样可以保证阴极活性材料层12设置在第一子部分1111上的结构稳定性。
下面再结合相关技术中电化学装置的阴极极片的制备,对本申请实施例中的电化学装置10进行简单说明,应理解,其仅用于便于理解,而不作为对本实施例中的任何限制。
参照图2,示出了相关技术中的一个电化学装置的阴极极片1’的制备过程,在这一示例中,阴极极片的阴极活性材料层和绝缘层为涂布于阴极集流体上的涂层。参照图2中的结构A1,该结构A1实际上也即未进行进一步加工的多个阴极极片(简单来说,将结构A1沿虚线a1切开,之后再分别沿虚线a2、a3切开,从而将结构A1分开为4个阴极极片1’,下面会具体说明这个过程)。在将阴极活性材料层12’和绝缘层13’涂布到阴极集流体11’上后获得该结构A1,对结构A1进行冷压(例如可以采用与该结构A1相适配的台阶辊(即一种特殊的冷压辊)进行冷压。使用台阶辊时,对于每一种不同尺寸的结构A1都要设计不同的台阶辊的尺寸与之适配。具体细节参照利用台阶辊对极片进行冷压的相关技术,在此不进行赘述)。在冷压过程中,由于阴极集流体11’的边缘空箔区14’的厚度与涂布区(即绝缘层13’和阴极活性材料层12’)的变形程度不同,所以易导致冷压过程中结构A1打皱,也即后续制备的阴极极片1’打皱。因此一般先对边缘空箔区14’进行拉伸,使其在冷压的过程中变形趋于一致,从而防止后续对结构A1进行冷压时阴极极片打皱。在拉伸以及冷压的步骤结束后,将冷压后的结构A1沿虚线a1切开(例如切割的方式可以采用激光切割技术),得到两个结构A2(每个结构A2相当于两个的阴极极片1’)。再分别沿虚线a2、a3将两个结构A2切开(例如切割的方式可以采用激光切割技术),得到如图2中所示的4个阴极极片1’。之后在用该最后得到的阴极极片1’制备电化学装置时,可将该阴极极片1’与隔离膜、阳极极片等进行卷绕,并将边缘空箔区14’与阴极极耳电连接(例如以焊接形式形成电连接)。最终成功制备电化学装置。
对应地,再结合本申请实施例中电化学装置10的阴极极片1的制备,对本申请实施例中的电化学装置10进行简单说明,应理解,其仅用于便于理解,而不作为对本实施例中的任何限制。
参照图3A,示出了本实施例中的一个电化学装置10的阴极极片1的制备过程,另外,图3B示出了图3A中的T处的放大示意图。在图3A示出的这一示例中,阴极极片1的阴极活性材料层12和绝缘层13为分别涂布于阴极集流体11的第一子部分1111和第二子部分1112上的涂层。参照图3A中的结构B1,该结构B1实际上也即未进行进一步加工的多个阴极极片1(简单来说,将结构A1沿虚线b1切开,之后再分别沿虚线b2、b3切开,从而将结构B1分开为4个阴极极片1,下面会具体说明这个过程)。在将阴极活性材料层12和绝缘层13涂布到阴极集流体11上后获得该结构B1,对结构B1进行冷压(此处冷压的实现方式,可参照利用冷压辊对极片进行冷压的相关技术进行理解,在此不进行赘述)。对比图3A和图2中的结构B1以及结构A1可以看出,由于在冷压前不用对结构B1的边缘空箔区(该边缘空箔区也即阴极集流体第二部分112)进行拉伸,图3A中结构B1相较于图2中结构A1,结构B1中的阴极集流体11的边缘空箔区的宽度显著变小。在冷压的步骤结束后,将冷压后的结构B1沿虚线b1切开(例如切割的方式可以采用激光切割技术),得到两个结构B2,在结构B2两侧的边缘空箔区(即阴极集流体第二部分112)上分别焊接阴极极耳连接片51,在焊接完成后得到两个结构B3(每个结构B3相当于两个阴极极片1)。再分别沿虚线b2、b3将两个结构B3切开(例如切割的方式可以采用激光切割技术),得到如图3A中所示的4个阴极极片1(另外可参照图3B对结构进行进一步理解)。之后在用该最后得到的阴极极片1制备电化学装置10时,可将该阴极极片1与隔离膜3、阳极极片2等进行卷绕,并将阴极极耳连接片51与阴极极耳41电连接(例如以焊接形式形成电连接)。最终成功制备电化学装置10。
应理解,图3A中为更便于示意地显示结构将阴极极耳连接片51与阴极集流体第二部分112 相焊接形成的第一焊印61省略,而在图3B的放大示意图中则示意性地示出了第一焊印61,图3A和图3B并不作为对本申请的任何限制。
在一些可选的实施例中,阴极集流体第二部分112为导电箔材,且导电箔材(即阴极集流体第二部分112)的每平方毫米电阻R满足:R<20mΩ,这样使得阴极集流体第二部分112的导电性能良好,满足电化学装置10的使用需要。
如前述,阴极集流体第一部分111的第一子部分1111和/或第二子部分1112也可以为导电箔材,例如,第一子部分1111和/或第二子部分1112的导电箔材的每平方毫米电阻小于20mΩ,这样也使得第一子部分1111和/或第二子部分1112的导电性能良好,满足电化学装置10的使用需要。
本实施例中,阴极集流体第二部分112与阴极极耳连接片51相焊接,阴极极耳41电连接于阴极极耳连接片51。该阴极极耳连接片51也可以是导电箔材,可选地,该阴极极耳连接片51的每平方毫米电阻R满足:R<20mΩ,这样使得阴极极耳连接片51的导电性能良好,满足电化学装置10的使用需要。
可选地,在实际测量制备好的电化学装置10的阴极集流体第二部分112或阴极极耳连接片51的每平方毫米电阻R时,可以先将电化学装置10拆解,再取阴极集流体第二部分112或阴极极耳连接片51的洁净部分(即无绝缘材料或阴极活性材料的部分)利用电阻测试仪进行测量,若无法取到,则可以用酒精等有机溶剂将阴极集流体第二部分112或阴极极耳连接片51上附着的绝缘材料或者阴极活性材料洗去,再取洗去后的洁净部分利用电阻测试仪进行测量,或者也可以用其他方式进行测量,在此不进行限制。
极片为阴极极片1时,对于阴极集流体第二部分112和/或阴极极耳连接片51为导电箔材而言,本实施例中不具体限制导电箔材的具体材质,其在保证导电性能和结构强度的基础上,可以采用任意的材质,例如导电箔材包括:铝箔、镀铝箔材、镍箔、镀镍箔材中的至少之一。这样材质的导电箔材,可以保证阴极极片1的阴极集流体第二部分112和/或阴极极耳连接片51的导电性能,满足电化学装置10的使用需要。
可选地,对于导电箔材为镀铝箔材时,则镀铝箔材包括:聚丙烯类薄膜表面镀铝的箔材、聚对苯二甲酸二乙酯类薄膜表面镀铝的箔材中的至少之一。这些类型的导电箔材,可以保证阴极极片1的阴极集流体第二部分112和/或阴极极耳连接片51的导电性能,满足电化学装置10的使用需要。
可选地,本申请中的阴极集流体第二部分112和阴极极耳连接片5可以采用相同材质的导电箔材,也可以采用不同材质的导电箔材,在此不进行限制。
可选地,对于阴极极耳连接片51的厚度L满足:4μm≤L≤25μm。由于阴极极耳连接片51的厚度过薄时,会增加制造阴极极片1的工艺难度,并造成成本增加,并且由于厚度过薄,导致强度较低,也难以符合阴极极片1和阴极极耳连接片51的结构强度的要求;而阴极极耳连接片51的厚度过厚时,也会导致材料成本增加、电化学装置10的能量密度收益减少。本实施例中的厚度L满足上述的取值范围(即4μm≤L≤25μm),既能够较好地避免阴极极耳连接片51厚度过薄的弊端,又能较好地避免阴极极耳连接片51厚度过厚的弊端,从而满足电化学装置10的使用需要,进而提高电化学装置10的制备优率。可选地,在4μm≤L≤25μm的基础上,阴极极耳连接片51的厚度L满足:5μm≤L≤20μm。在这一优选的取值范围内,更能较好地避免阴极极耳连接片51厚度过薄的弊端,更能较好地避免阴极极耳连接片51厚度过厚的弊端,从而满足电化学装置10的使用需要,进一步提高电化学装置10的制备优率。在上述的取值范围内,L可以依据需要选择合适的值。例如以5μm≤L≤20μm进行举例,则L可以为5μm、7μm、10μm、15μm、18μm、20μm等等,在此不进行具体限制。
可选地,在实际测量制备好的电化学装置10的阴极极耳连接片51的厚度L时,可以先将电化学装置10拆解,再取阴极极耳连接片5位于第一焊印61和第二焊印62之间的未焊接部分(对于第一焊印61和第二焊印62,下文中会介绍),利用千分尺或者万分尺进行测量,或者也可以用其他方式进行测量,在此不进行限制。
可选地,为了保证阴极极耳连接片51的强度,阴极极耳连接片51的断裂强度S满足:80MPa≤S≤800MPa。由于阴极极耳连接片51的断裂强度过小时,容易在制备过程中出现断裂,会增加制造阴极极片1的工艺难度,并造成成本增加,并且断裂强度过小也难以符合阴极极片1和阴极极耳连接片51的结构强度的要求;而阴极极耳连接片51的断裂强度S过大时,也会导致增加制造阴极 极片1的工艺难度,并造成成本增加。本实施例中的断裂强度S满足上述的取值范围(即80MPa≤S≤800MPa),既能够较好地避免阴极极耳连接片51的断裂强度过小的弊端,又能较好地避免阴极极耳连接片51的断裂强度过大的弊端,从而满足电化学装置10的使用需要,进而提高电化学装置10的制备优率。可选地,在80MPa≤S≤800MPa的基础上,阴极极耳连接片51的断裂强度S满足:100MPa≤S≤450MPa。在这一优选的取值范围内,更能较好地避免阴极极耳连接片51的断裂强度过小的弊端,更能较好地避免阴极极耳连接片51的断裂强度过大的弊端,从而满足电化学装置10的使用需要,进一步提高电化学装置10的制备优率。在上述的取值范围内,阴极极耳连接片51的断裂强度S可以依据需要选择合适的值。例如以100MPa≤S≤450MPa举例,则断裂强度S可以为100MPa、150MPa、200MPa、250MPa、300MPa、350MPa、400MPa、450MPa等等,在此不进行限制。
可选地,阴极极片1的阴极集流体11的阴极集流体第二部分112的厚度的取值范围可以与上述的阴极极耳连接片51的厚度的取值范围相同,即阴极集流体第二部分112的厚度的取值范围可以为4μm~25μm,进一步可选的为5μm~20μm,阴极集流体第二部分112的断裂强度的取值范围可以与上述的阴极极耳连接片51的断裂强度的取值范围相同,即阴极集流体第二部分112的断裂强度的取值范围可以为80MPa~800MPa,进一步可选的为100MPa~450MPa。
此外,阴极集流体第二部分112和阴极极耳连接片51均为导电箔材时,阴极集流体第二部分112的厚度和阴极极耳连接片51的厚度可以相同也可以不同,阴极集流体第二部分112的断裂强度和阴极极耳连接片51的断裂强度可以相同也可以不同。
可选地,阴极极片1的阴极集流体11的第一子部分1111和/或第二子部分1112为导电箔材时,可以与阴极集流体第二部分112采取同样材质,且与阴极集流体第二部分112的厚度满足同样取值范围。即,第一子部分1111和/或第二子部分1112为导电箔材时可以为铝箔、镀铝箔材、镍箔、镀镍箔材中的至少之一;且镀铝箔材包括聚丙烯类薄膜表面镀铝的箔材、聚对苯二甲酸二乙酯类薄膜表面镀铝的箔材中的至少之一;第一子部分1111和/或第二子部分1112的厚度的取值范围为4μm到25μm,优选为5μm到20μm;第一子部分1111和/或第二子部分1112的断裂强度的取值范围为80MPa到800MPa,优选为100MPa到450MPa,从而满足电化学装置10的相应的使用需要。
本实施例中,绝缘层13设置于阴极极片1的第二子部分1112。本实施例不对该绝缘层13的材质进行具体限制,例如可以是氧化铝、氧化硅中的至少之一。采用这样材质的绝缘层13对第二子部分1112和阳极极片2进行绝缘和隔离,可以有效防止阴极极片1和阳极极片2之间发生短路。
可选地,绝缘层13可以是涂层(例如氧化铝涂层、氧化硅涂层等),也即绝缘层13涂覆于阴极极片1的第二子部分1112上。这样可以保证绝缘层13设置在第二子部分1112上的结构稳定性。
本实施例中,沿极片的宽度方向Y,绝缘层13的宽度d3满足:0.5mm≤d3≤5mm。
参照图4A、图4B、图4C,绝缘层13的宽度d3也即极片的宽度方向Y绝缘层13的第一侧和绝缘层13的第二侧之间的距离d3。本实施例采用这种宽度范围内的绝缘层13,可以有效将阴极集流体11的第二子部分1112与阳极极片2进行绝缘和隔离,防止两者之间短路,在满足电化学装置10的使用需求的基础上,不会额外增加成本。
可选地,对于该阴极极片1而言,绝缘层13的宽度d3与第二子部分1112的宽度(即沿极片的宽度方向Y第二子部分1112的第一侧和第二子部分1112的第二侧之间的距离)相等。可以理解的是,第二子部分1112的第一侧,是沿极片的宽度方向Y第二子部分1112的靠近第一子部分1111的一侧;第二子部分1112的第二侧,是沿极片的宽度方向Y第二子部分1112的远离第一子部分1111的一侧。
本申请实施例中,在一些可选的实施例中,极片的集流体的第二部分与极耳连接片之间的焊接拉力大于等于70N且小于等于1000N。
例如在一些可选的实施例中,极片为阴极极片1时,阴极集流体第二部分112和阴极极耳连接片51相焊接,阴极集流体第二部分112与阴极极耳连接片51之间的焊接拉力F满足:70N≤F≤1000N。由于阴极集流体第二部分112与阴极极耳连接片51之间的焊接拉力F过小时,容易在使用电化学装置10时导致阴极极耳连接片51从阴极集流体第二部分112上脱落;而阴极集流体第二部分112与阴极极耳连接片51之间的焊接拉力F过大时,影响在制备电化学装置10时的成本。本实施例中的焊接拉力F满足上述的取值范围(即70N≤F≤1000N),既能够较好地避免阴极集流体第二部分112与阴极极耳连接片51之间的焊接拉力F过小的弊端,又能较好地避免阴极集流体第二 部分112与阴极极耳连接片51之间的焊接拉力F过大的弊端,从而满足电化学装置10的使用需要,进而提高电化学装置10的制备优率。
可选地,在70N≤F≤1000N的基础上,阴极集流体第二部分112与阴极极耳连接片51之间的焊接拉力F满足:150N≤F≤500N。在这一优选的取值范围内,更能较好地避免阴极集流体第二部分112与阴极极耳连接片51之间的焊接拉力过小的弊端,更能较好地避免阴极集流体第二部分112与阴极极耳连接片51之间的焊接拉力过大的弊端,从而满足电化学装置10的使用需要,进一步提高电化学装置10的制备优率。
在上述的取值范围内,焊接拉力F可以依据需要选择合适的值。例如以150N≤F≤500N进行举例,则焊接拉力F可以为150N、200N、300N、350N、400N、500N等等,在此不进行具体限制。
测试焊接拉力F的方式,可以参照相关技术,在此不进行限制。例如,一种示例性的测试焊接拉力F的方式可以是如下流程:取焊接后的阴极集流体第二部分112和阴极极耳连接片51的样品放入拉力机内,沿极片的宽度方向Y,左夹和右夹分别夹住阴极集流体第二部分112和阴极极耳连接片51,左夹和右夹相距合适距离(例如为20mm),将焊接区(例如下文中提到的第一焊印61)设置于左夹和右夹正中间,测试过程中,保持左夹和右夹不接触焊接区(例如下文中提到的第一焊印61),之后将左夹固定不动,将右夹沿远离左夹的方向以合适速度(例如为1mm/s)进行拉动,拉断后确认是否是焊接区断裂,如果是焊接区断裂,则确认此时对应的焊接拉力F,若不是焊接区断裂,则换样品重新测试。当然这仅作为示例,而非对实施例中的任何限制。
通过上述测试焊接拉力F的类似方式也可以测试阴极极耳连接片51的断裂强度,只需取阴极极耳连接片51的适当宽度(例如10mm),将左夹和右夹分别夹住阴极极耳连接片51,之后将左夹固定不动,将右夹沿远离左夹的方向以合适速度(例如为1mm/s)进行拉动,之后可以测试得到阴极极耳连接片51的断裂强度。测试阴极集流体11的各部分的断裂强度的方式可以以此类推,在此不在赘述。当然这仅作为示例,而非对实施例中的任何限制。
本申请实施例中,阴极集流体第二部分112和阴极极耳连接片51之间的焊接,可以由任意的焊接方式进行,例如利用超声波滚焊的方式进行焊接等。参照图5所示,其示出了一种超声波滚焊的焊接方式,在这其中,首先将阴极集流体第二部分112与阴极极耳连接片51部分重叠,并置于滚焊焊座71上,再将滚焊焊头72对准滚焊焊座71上方的阴极极耳连接片51和阴极集流体第二部分112和进行超声波焊接。焊接过程中,滚焊焊头72对阴极极耳连接片51和阴极集流体第二部分112发出高频的超声波,在滚焊焊头72对两者进行加压的情况下,使得阴极极耳连接片51和阴极集流体第二部分112两者接触的表面相互摩擦产生热能,该热能使得阴极极耳连接片51和阴极集流体第二部分112的焊接位置发生熔化,从而使得阴极极耳连接片51与阴极集流体第二部分112最终形成焊接连接。当然,这仅为对本申请实施例中的一个示例,而并不作为对本申请的任何限制。
在一些可选的实施例中,焊印包括第一焊印61,以极片为阴极极片1为例,该电化学装置10中,第一焊印61为阴极集流体第二部分112与阴极极耳连接片51相焊接时形成;沿极片的宽度方向Y,第一焊印61包括靠近第一子部分1111的第一侧和远离第一子部分1111的第二侧;第一焊印61的第二侧位于阴极极耳连接片51上,且第一焊印61与第一子部分1111存在间距。
具体地,第一焊印61的第二侧位于阴极极耳连接片51上,保证阴极极耳连接片51能够与阴极集流体第二部分112形成稳定的焊接连接。而该第一焊印61的第一侧可以位于阴极集流体第二部分112上,也可以位于阴极极耳连接片51上,在此不进行限制。
本实施例中,不限制第一焊印61的形状。例如图6、图7所示,第一焊印61可以是多个第一子焊印611的组合且每相邻两个第一子焊印611之间存在间距。第一子焊印611可以由多个规则形状或者不规则形状的小焊点组合而成,例如小焊点的形状可以是圆形、矩形、或其他多边形等等。可选地,小焊点排列所形成的第一子焊印611的形状可以是平行四边形、矩形(可以是正方形)、三角形等多边形,或者也可以是其他不规则形状。例如图6所示,示出了第一子焊印611的形状为小焊点组成的矩形的形状,并且小焊点为矩形。或者例如图7所示,每个第一子焊印611可以都是一个完整的焊印。在此不进行限制。
又例如图8、图9所示,第一焊印61也可以是连续的焊印。该连续的焊印可以是一个完整的焊印(完整的焊印可以结合图9进行理解,在此不进行赘述)。或者该连续的焊印也可以是包括多个规则形状或者不规则形状的小焊点组合而成,例如小焊点的形状可以是圆形、矩形、或其他多边 形等等(可以结合图8进行理解,在此不进行赘述)。本实施例中在此不进行限制。
本申请中的电化学装置中,在极片展开状态下,极耳连接片焊接在极片的集流体的第二部分的表面而形成的焊印面积是指:极耳连接片焊接在极片的集流体的第二部分的表面时形成的所有焊印(即小焊点、完整焊印等)的面积之和;焊接区面积是指:极耳连接片焊接在极片的集流体的第二部分的表面时形成的所有焊印(即小焊点、完整焊印等)的最小外接区域的面积;极耳连接片与第二部分的表面重叠的区域为重叠区(即沿极片厚度方向上,极耳连接片的投影在第二部分表面上的面积);焊接区长度是指:沿极片的长度方向,焊接区两端之间的最大距离;重叠区长度是指:沿极片的长度方向,重叠区两端的距离。本申请中,极片的焊印面积与焊接区面积之比大于或等于20%;焊接区长度与重叠区长度之比大于或等于60%。
因此对于极片为阴极极片1来说,焊印面积可以是指极耳连接片与极片的集流体的第二部分相焊接而形成的第一焊印61中包括的所有焊印(即小焊点、完整焊印等)的面积之和。焊接区面积可以是指第一焊印61中包括的所有焊印(即小焊点、完整焊印等)的最小外接矩形区域的面积。本申请中,极片的焊印面积与焊接区面积之比大于或等于20%,且焊接区长度与重叠区长度之比大于或等于60%。
以第一焊印61为例,则焊印面积为第一焊印61的面积。对于第一焊印61为多个第一子焊印611的组合且每相邻两个第一子焊印611之间存在间距的情形来说,焊印面积(在此记为Sy1)等于各第一子焊印611的面积之和。其中,对于图6中的每个第一子焊印611的面积而言,由于每个第一子焊印611均包括多个小焊点,因此图6中的第一子焊印611的面积为该第一子焊印611中的每个小焊点的面积之和;再以图7中第一子焊印611都是一个完整的焊印进行举例,焊印面积Sy1=s11+s12+s13+s14+s15+s16+s17+s18,其中s11、s12、s13、s14、s15、s16、s17、s18为各个第一子焊印611的面积。而对于第一焊印61为连续的焊印的情形来说,参照图8所示,该连续的焊印包括多个小焊点组合而成,焊印面积等于所有小焊点的面积之和;参照图9所示,该连续的焊印为一个完整的焊印,焊印面积等于该完整焊印的面积。参照图6和图7所示,重叠区的长度此时等于极片的长度,焊接区的长度为h1,此时,焊接区的长度与重叠区的长度之比大于60%;参照图8和图9所示,重叠区的长度此时等于极片的长度,焊接区的长度为h1,也等于极片的长度,此时,焊接区的长度与重叠区的长度之等于60%;
参照图6、图7、图8、图9所示的示例中,将焊接区面积记为Sz1,则Sz1=h1*d5,其中h1为最小外接矩形区域的长度(也即焊接区的长度),d5是最小外接矩形区域的宽度。此外,下文中会介绍,d5是第一焊印61的宽度,也即沿极片的宽度方向Y第一焊印61的第一侧与第一焊印61的第二侧之间的距离。
将焊印面积与焊接区面积之比记为P,极片为阴极极片1时,以图7和图9中的情形分别举例:则图7中,P=Sy1/Sz1=(s11+s12+s13+s14+s15+s16+s17+s18)/(h1*d5)>20%;则图9中,P=Sy1/Sz1=(h1*d5)/(h1*d5)=100%>20%。图6和图8中的情形也应满足P>20%。同时,焊接区的长度与重叠区的长度比不能太小,至少要大于或等于60%,这样能保证焊印在焊接区在重叠区分布均匀,避免焊印集中导致局部强度过大或者其他部分的强度过小,避免由此导致的加工困难的弊端。
本申请中,焊印面积与焊接区面积之比P>20%,且焊接区的长度与重叠区的长度比大于或等于60%能够满足电化学装置的极耳连接片在第二部分的表面形成稳定焊接的需要。
在一些可选实施例中,参照图4A、图4B、图4C所示,沿极片的宽度方向Y,第一焊印61的宽度d5满足:0.1mm≤d5≤10mm。可以理解的是,第一焊印61的宽度d5也即沿极片的宽度方向Y第一焊印61的第一侧与第一焊印61的第二侧之间的距离。对于第一焊印61的宽度d5,也可以结合图6、图7、图8和图9进行理解。
由于第一焊印61的宽度d5过小时(即d5<0.1mm),难以保证阴极集流体第二部分112与阴极极耳连接片51之间的焊接拉力满足需求,从而造成前述焊接拉力F过小时的弊端;而第一焊印61的宽度d5过大时(即d5>10mm),焊接难度大,且额外增加了成本。本实施例中的第一焊印61的宽度d5满足上述取值范围(0.1mm≤d5≤10mm)内,可以避免第一焊印61的宽度过小的弊端,也能避免第一焊印61的宽度过大的弊端,从而满足电化学装置10的使用需要,进而提高电化学装置10的制备优率。
在上述的取值范围内,第一焊印61的宽度d5可以依据需要选择合适的值。例如以0.1mm≤d5 ≤10mm进行举例,则d5可以为0.1mm、1mm、3mm、5mm、8mm、10mm等等,在此不进行具体限制。
在一些可选的实施例中,参照图4A、图4B、图4C所示,若第一焊印61的第一侧位于阴极集流体第二部分112上,则第一焊印61的第一侧与阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧之间的间距d6满足:0mm≤d6≤5mm;或者,若第一焊印61的第一侧位于阴极极耳连接片51上,则第一焊印61的第一侧与阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧之间的间距d6满足:0mm≤d6≤20mm。
具体地,参照图4B所示,示出了第一焊印61的第一侧位于阴极集流体第二部分112上的示例(需要说明的是,图4B中第一焊印61的第一侧虽然未与阴极集流体第二部分112接触,两者之间呈间隔状,但图4B实际表达的样式是第一焊印61的第一侧与阴极集流体第二部分112直接接触以位于阴极集流体第二部分112上使得阴极极耳连接片5和阴极集流体第二部分112形成焊接,这里示出是为了便于示出结构,并不作为对本申请的限制),第一焊印61的第一侧位于阴极集流体第二部分112上时,相当于第一焊印61的第一侧沿极片的宽度方向Y的反方向超出阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧,第一焊印61将阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧覆盖;参照图4A和图4C所示,示出了第一焊印61的第一侧位于阴极极耳连接片51上的示例,相当于第一焊印61的第一侧沿极片的宽度方向Y超出阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧,则阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧未被第一焊印61覆盖,阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧可以是处于无约束状态,即阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧未与阴极集流体第二部分112形成焊接。
由于在第一焊印61的第一侧沿极片的宽度方向Y的反方向超出阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧过多时(例如第一焊印61的第一侧位于阴极集流体第二部分112上时的d6>5mm),不存在阴极活性材料的部分较多,因此不能提供能量的部分的空间占比也较大,使得能量密度损失严重,影响后续将阴极极耳41与阴极极耳连接片51进行电连接(例如阴极极耳41与阴极极耳连接片51以焊接的形式形成电连接),在这过程中也容易对阴极极耳连接片51造成损伤,最终影响制成的电化学装置10的电性能;而在第一焊印61的第一侧沿极片的宽度方向Y超出阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧过多时(例如第一焊印的第一侧位于阴极极耳连接片51上时的d6>30mm时),则存在无约束状态的阴极极耳连接片51过宽的情况,在制备阴极极片1时,增加了工艺难度,影响电化学装置10的制备优率。
本申请实施例中,通过采取这样的d6的取值范围,既能够避免在第一焊印61的第一侧沿极片的宽度方向Y的反方向超出阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧过多时产生的弊端,又能够避免在第一焊印61的第一侧沿极片的宽度方向Y超出阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧过多时产生的弊端,从而满足电化学装置10的使用需要,进而提高电化学装置10的制备优率。
可选地,在前述取值范围的基础上,若第一焊印61的第一侧位于阴极集流体第二部分112上,则第一焊印61的第一侧与阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧之间的间距d6满足:0mm≤d6≤3mm;或者,若第一焊印61的第一侧位于阴极极耳连接片51上,则第一焊印61的第一侧与阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧之间的间距d6满足:0mm≤d6≤10mm。在这一优选的取值范围内,更能够在第一焊印61的第一侧沿极片的宽度方向的反方向超出阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧过多时产生的弊端,更能够避免在第一焊印61的第一侧沿极片的宽度方向超出阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧过多时产生的弊端,从而进一步满足电化学装置10的使用需要,进一步提高电化学装置10的制备优率。
在上述取值范围内,d6可以依据需要选择合适的值。例如以第一焊印61的第一侧位于阴极集流体第二部分112上时,0mm≤d6≤3mm,进行举例,则d6可以为0mm、0.5mm、1mm、1.5mm、2mm、2.5mm、3.0mm等,在此不进行限制。以第一焊印61的第一侧位于阴极极耳连接片51上时,0mm≤d6≤10mm,进行举例,则d6可以为0mm、1mm、3mm、5mm、7mm、8mm、10mm等,在此不进行限制。
在一些可选的实施例中,参照图4A、图4B、图4C所示,若第一焊印61的第二侧在阴极极耳连接片51上的第一投影,与阴极集流体第二部分112在阴极极耳连接片51上的第二投影存在重叠,则第一焊印61的第二侧与阴极集流体第二部分112的第二侧之间的间距d7满足:0mm≤d7≤15mm;或者,若第一焊印61的第二侧在阴极极耳连接片51上的第一投影,与阴极集流体第二部分112在阴极极耳连接片51上的第二投影不存在重叠,则第一焊印61的第二侧与阴极集流体第二部分112的第二侧之间的间距d7满足:0mm≤d7≤7mm。
容易理解的是,第一投影可以是第一焊印61的第二侧沿阴极极耳连接片51的厚度方向在阴极极耳连接片51上的投影,第二投影可以是阴极集流体第二部分112沿阴极极耳连接片51的厚度方 向在阴极极耳连接片51上的投影。
参照图4B和图4C所示,第一投影与第二投影存在重叠时,相当于阴极集流体第二部分112的第二侧沿极片的宽度方向超出第一焊印61的第二侧,阴极集流体第二部分112的第二侧处于无约束状态,即阴极集流体第二部分112的第二侧未与阴极极耳连接片51形成焊接;参照图4A所示,第一投影与第二投影不存在重叠时,相当于阴极集流体第二部分112的第二侧沿极片的宽度方向未超出第一焊印61的第二侧,阴极集流体第二部分112的第二侧与阴极极耳连接片51形成焊接。
由于在第一投影与第二投影存在重叠时,第一焊印61的第二侧与阴极集流体第二部分112的第二侧之间的间距d7过大(例如在第一投影与第二投影存在重叠时的d7>15mm),也即阴极集流体第二部分112的第二侧沿极片的宽度方向超出第一焊印61的第二侧过多时,则存在无约束状态的阴极集流体第二部分112过宽的情况,在制备阴极极片1时,增加了工艺难度,影响电化学装置10的制备优率;而在第一投影与第二投影不存在重叠时,第一焊印61的第二侧与阴极集流体第二部分112的第二侧之间的间距d7过大(例如在第一投影与第二投影不存在重叠时的d7>7mm),也即第一焊印61的第二侧沿极片的宽度方向超出阴极集流体第二部分112的第二侧过多时,则使得能量密度损失严重,影响后续在将阴极极耳41与阴极极耳连接片51进行电连接(例如阴极极耳41与阴极极耳连接片51以焊接的形式形成电连接),在这过程中也容易对阴极极耳连接片51造成损伤,最终影响制成的电化学装置10的电性能。
本申请实施例中,通过采取这样的d7的取值范围,既能够避免在阴极集流体第二部分112的第二侧沿极片的宽度方向超出第一焊印61的第二侧过多时产生的弊端,又能够避免第一焊印61的第二侧沿极片的宽度方向超出阴极集流体第二部分112的第二侧过多时产生的弊端,从而满足电化学装置10的使用需要,进而提高电化学装置10的制备优率。
可选地,在前述取值范围的基础上,若第一焊印61的第二侧在阴极极耳连接片51上的第一投影,与阴极集流体第二部分112在阴极极耳连接片51上的第二投影存在重叠,则第一焊印61的第二侧与阴极集流体第二部分112的第二侧之间的间距d7满足:0mm≤d7≤10mm;或者,若第一焊印61的第二侧在阴极极耳连接片51上的第一投影,与阴极集流体第二部分112在阴极极耳连接片51上的第二投影不存在重叠,则第一焊印61的第二侧与阴极集流体第二部分112的第二侧之间的间距d7满足:0mm≤d7≤3mm。在这一优选的取值范围内,更能够避免在阴极集流体第二部分112的第二侧沿极片的宽度方向超出第一焊印61的第二侧过多时产生的弊端,更能够避免第一焊印61的第二侧沿极片的宽度方向超出阴极集流体第二部分112的第二侧过多时产生的弊端,从而满足电化学装置10的使用需要,进而提高电化学装置10的制备优率。
在上述的取值范围内,d7可以依据需要选择合适的值。例如以第一投影与第二投影存在重叠时,0mm≤d7≤10mm,进行举例,则d7可以为0mm、1mm、3mm、5mm、8mm、9mm、10mm等等,在此不进行具体限制。例如以第一投影与第二投影不存在重叠时,0mm≤d7≤3mm,进行举例,则d7可以为0mm、0.5mm、1mm、1.5mm、2mm、2.5mm、3mm等等,在此不进行具体限制。
在一些可选的实施例中,电化学装置还包括极耳,极耳通过焊接与极片的极耳连接片形成电连接。具体地,电化学装置还包括壳体,极耳部分伸出壳体。可选地,对于壳体而言,阴极极片1、隔离膜3、阳极极片2可以设置在壳体内,壳体可对其进行保护。可选地,对应于软包电芯来说,壳体可由金属塑膜制成,金属塑膜可以为钢塑膜、铝塑膜等等。在本申请的任一实施例中,电化学装置10的极片可以为阴极极片1和/或阳极极片2。当电化学装置的极片为阴极极片1时,与阴极极片1的阴极极耳连接片通过焊接形成电连接的极耳4为阴极极耳;而当电化学装置的极片为阳极极片2时,与阳极极片2的阳极极耳连接片通过焊接形成电连接的极耳4为阳极极耳。
以极片为阴极极片1为例,极耳为阴极极耳41,参照图4A、图4B、图4C所示,阴极极耳41通过焊接与阴极极耳连接片51形成电连接,并在阴极极耳连接片51上形成第二焊印62;沿极片的宽度方向Y,第二焊印62包括靠近第一子部分1111的第一侧和远离第一子部分1111的第二侧;其中,第一焊印61的第二侧与第二焊印62的第一侧之间的间距d8满足:0mm<d8≤10mm。
本申请中不限制阴极极耳41与阴极极耳连接片51形成焊接时的具体焊接工艺,例如,焊接工艺可以是转接焊,则第二焊印62可以是转接焊焊印。
由于阴极极耳41通过焊接与阴极极耳连接片51形成电连接时,在阴极极耳连接片51上形成的第二焊印62与第一焊印61不能重叠,若重叠则会影响阴极极耳41与阴极极耳连接片51之间的 焊接效果,使得两者的焊接拉力降低;而若第一焊印61的第二侧与第二焊印62的第一侧之间的间距d8过大时(例如d8>10mm时),则容易影响电化学装置10的能量密度。本实施例中通过采取这样的d8的取值范围,既能够避免第二焊印62与第一焊印61重叠时产生的弊端,又能够避免第一焊印61的第二侧与第二焊印62的第一侧之间的间距d8过大时产生的弊端,从而满足电化学装置10的使用需要,进而提高电化学装置10的制备优率。
在上述的取值范围内,d8也可以依据需要选择合适的值。例如以0mm<d8≤10mm举例,则d8可以为1mm、3mm、5mm、7mm、9mm、10mm等等,在此不进行具体限制。
本实施例中,本申请实施例中,不限制阴极极耳连接片51的宽度d1(参照图4A、图4B、图4C,即阴极极耳连接片51的宽度d1即沿极片的宽度方向Y阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧与阴极极耳连接片51的第二侧之间的距离),满足电化学装置10的需要即可。在一些可选的实施例中,沿极片的宽度方向Y,阴极极耳连接片51的宽度d1满足:3mm≤d1≤25mm。
由于阴极极耳连接片51的宽度d1过小时,在制备电化学装置10时,将阴极极耳连接片51与阴极集流体第二部分112进行焊接时难度较大;而阴极极耳连接片51的宽度d1过大时,在制备阴极极片1的过程中,阴极极耳连接片51的边缘容易发生塌陷,还容易意外导致阴极极耳连接片51断裂。本实施例中的阴极极耳连接片51的宽度满足上述的取值范围(即3mm≤d1≤25mm),既能够较好地避免阴极极耳连接片51的宽度过小的弊端,又能较好地避免阴极极耳连接片51的宽度过大的弊端,从而满足电化学装置10的使用需要,进而提高电化学装置10的制备优率。
可选地,在3mm≤d1≤25mm的基础上,阴极极耳连接片51的宽度d1满足:5mm≤d1≤25mm。在这一优选的取值范围内,更能避免阴极极耳连接片51的宽度过小的弊端,更能较好地避免阴极极耳连接片51的宽度过大的弊端,从而满足电化学装置10的使用需要,进一步提高电化学装置10的制备优率。
在上述取值范围内,阴极极耳连接片51的宽度d1可以依据需要选择合适的值。例如以5mm≤d1≤25mm举例,则d1可以为5mm、10mm、15mm、18mm、20mm、23mm、25mm等等,在此不进行限制。
本申请实施例中,不限制阴极集流体11的阴极集流体第二部分112的宽度d2(参照图4A、图4B、图4C,阴极集流体第二部分112的宽度d2即沿极片的宽度方向Y阴极集流体第二部分112的第一侧与阴极集流体第二部分112的第二侧之间的距离),满足电化学装置10的需要即可。在一些可选的实施例中,沿极片的宽度方向Y,阴极集流体第二部分112的宽度d2满足:1mm≤d2≤20mm。
由于阴极集流体第二部分112的宽度过小时,在制备电化学装置10时,难以保证焊接宽度,导致将阴极极耳连接片51与阴极集流体第二部分112进行焊接时难度较大;而阴极集流体第二部分112的宽度过大时,在制备阴极极片1的过程中,在冷压后阴极集流体第二部分112更容易打皱,容易增大能量密度损失,导致成本增加。本实施例中的阴极集流体第二部分112的宽度满足上述的取值范围(即1mm≤d2≤20mm),既能够较好地避免阴极集流体第二部分112的宽度过小的弊端,又能较好地避免阴极集流体第二部分112的宽度过大的弊端,从而满足电化学装置10的使用需要,进而提高电化学装置10的制备优率。
可选地,在1mm≤d2≤20mm的基础上,阴极集流体第二部分112的宽度d2满足:1mm≤d2≤10mm。在这一优选的取值范围内,更能避免阴极集流体第二部分112的宽度过小的弊端,更能较好地避免阴极集流体第二部分112的宽度过大的弊端,从而满足电化学装置10的使用需要,进一步提高电化学装置10的制备优率。
在上述取值范围内,阴极集流体第二部分112的宽度d2可以依据需要选择合适的值。例如以1mm≤d2≤10mm举例,则d2可以为1mm、3mm、4mm、5mm、7mm、8mm、10mm等等,在此不进行限制。
在一些可选的实施例中,参照图4A、图4B、图4C所示,沿极片的宽度方向Y,绝缘层13包括靠近第一子部分1111的第一侧和远离第一子部分1111的第二侧;若阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧位于绝缘层13上,则阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧与绝缘层13的第二侧之间的间距d4满足:0mm≤d4≤8mm;或者,若阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧位于阴极集流体第二部分112上,则阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧与绝缘层13的第二侧之间的间距d4满足:0mm≤d4≤10mm。
具体地,参照图4C,阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧位于绝缘层13上时,相当于阴极极耳连接片51焊接到阴极集流体第二部分112后,阴极极耳连接片51的第一端沿极片的宽度方向Y的反方向超出阴极集流体第二部分112的第一侧,当超出过多时(例如d4>8mm),易导致制成的电化学 装置10厚度过大;参照图4A和图4B所示,阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧位于阴极集流体第二部分112上,阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧与绝缘层13的第二侧的间距d4过大时(例如d4>10mm),则无法有效地解决阴极集流体第二部分112与阴极极耳连接片51相焊接后发生翻折的问题。
本实施例中的d4满足上述的取值范围,既能够较好地避免阴极极耳连接片51的第一端沿极片的宽度方向Y的反方向超出阴极集流体第二部分112的第一侧过多时的弊端,又能较好地避免阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧位于阴极集流体第二部分112上,d4过大时的弊端,从而满足电化学装置10的使用需要,进而提高电化学装置10的制备优率。
当阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧与绝缘层13以及阴极集流体第二部分112存在间距时,是其中较为优选的实施方式。可选地,当阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧位于阴极集流体第二部分112上,阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧与绝缘层13的第二侧之间的间距d4满足:0mm≤d4≤5mm。在这一优选的取值范围内,更能避免阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧位于阴极集流体第二部分112上,d4过大时的弊端,从而满足电化学装置10的使用需要,进一步提高电化学装置10的制备优率。
可以理解的是,上文中的内容仅作为对本申请实施例中的电化学装置10的一些可选的示例,而非对本申请实施例中的电化学装置10的任何限制。
本申请实施例中,极片包括阴极极片和阳极极片,由于该电化学装置的阴极极片的阴极极耳连接片焊接在阴极集流体的第二部分(即阴极集流体上的边缘空箔区)的表面,阳极极片的阳极极耳连接片焊接在阳极集流体的第二部分(即阳极集流体上的边缘空箔区)的表面,因此在本申请中将阴极极耳从阴极集流体上引出时,可以不再是直接在阴极集流体的第二部分上电连接阴极极耳,而可以通过与阴极集流体的第二部分相焊接的阴极极耳连接片与阴极极耳电连接,并且在本申请中将阳极极耳从阳极集流体上引出时,可以不再是直接在阳极集流体的第二部分上电连接阳极极耳,而可以通过与阳极集流体的第二部分相焊接的阳极极耳连接片与阳极极耳电连接,基于此,在制备本申请中的电化学装置的阴极极片时,在对阴极极片进行冷压时阴极极片不易打皱,且在制备本申请中的电化学装置的阳极极片时,在对阳极极片进行冷压时阳极极片不易打皱,因而通过这样的阴极极片和阳极极片制成电化学装置,能够有效地提高电化学装置的制备优率。
根据本申请实施例中的另一方面,参照图10的结构框图,本申请实施例提供了一种用电设备20,该用电设备20包括前面提供的任意一项的电化学装置10。
具体地,该电化学装置10可以用于对用电设备20中的各个用电器件进行供电。
由于本申请实施例中的用电设备20包括上述的电化学装置10,该电化学装置10的制备优率较高,因此该用电设备20的制备优率也较高。
下面再结合本申请实施例中的一些实际的电化学装置10的实施例、以及一些相关技术中的电化学装置的对比例进行说明,结合这些实施例以及对比例之间的对比,可以更容易看出本申请实施例中的电化学装置10相对于相关技术的有益效果。在这些对比例和实施例中,电化学装置都以锂离子电池为例。
对比例1的电化学装置为常规的卷绕结构,对比例2与实施例1不同的是,焊印面积与焊接区面积之比小于20%,焊接区长度与重叠区长度之比小于60%,由于焊接强度不满足要求,在电化学装置的制备过程中,焊接强度不稳定,极耳连接片与阴极第二部分表面局部分离,不便测量。
实施例1由表1中的实施例1的阴极极片和常规结构的阳极极片卷绕而成,且阴极极片中,焊印面积与焊接区面积之比大于或等于20%,所述焊接区长度与所述重叠区长度之比大于或等于60%,以满足焊接稳定性需求。实施例2-16均与实施例1同理。另外实施例1-16相比于对比例1,在制备阴极极片时进行冷压前取消了对阴极集流体的边缘空箔区的拉伸,而是在阴极集流体的边缘空箔区(即阴极集流体第二部分)上焊接阴极极耳连接片,并在冷压过程中取消台阶辊,其余各参数相同;并且实施例1-18相比于对比例1,在制备阴极极片时进行冷压前取消了对阴极集流体的边缘空箔区的拉伸,而是在阴极集流体的边缘空箔区(即阴极集流体第二部分)上焊接阴极极耳连接片,并在冷压过程中取消台阶辊,其余各参数相同,对比例2由于焊印面积与焊接区面积之比、焊接区长度与所述重叠区长度之比不满足要求,实验数据无法测量。
对比例1-2、实施例1-16的电化学装置的阴极极片的相关数据如下表1:
表1
Figure PCTCN2022122461-appb-000001
需要说明的是,上述表1中为了便于观看,其中d4那一列中,负数表示阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧位于绝缘层13上时的情况(以表1中d4为-2mm为例,即:阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧位于绝缘层13上,d4=2mm),而正数表示阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧位于阴极集流体第二部分112上时的情况(以表1中d4为2mm为例,即:阴极极耳连接片51的第一侧位于阴极集流体第二部分112上,d4=2mm);其中d6那一列中,负数表示第一焊印61的第一侧位于阴极集流体第二部分112上时的情况(以表1中d6为-3mm为例,即:第一焊印61的第一侧位于阴极集流体第二部分112上,d6=3mm),而正数表示第一焊印61的第一侧位于阴极极耳连接片51上时的情况(以表1中d6为20mm为例,即:第一焊印61的第一侧位于阴极极耳连接片51上,d6=20mm)。另外,表1中的“\”表示“无”,“★”的数量表示打皱程度,“★”的数量越多表示打皱情况越严重。另外,对于实施例1-实施例18而言,极耳翻折比例可以是指阴极极耳连接片51和阴极集流体第二部分112发生翻折的比例(可以结合图3A、图3B以及图4A、图4B、图4C理解),而对于对比例1-对比例2而言,极耳翻折比例可以是指边缘空箔区14’发生翻折的比例(可以结合图2理解)。
从上表1中示出的各组数据进行分析,可以看出本申请实施例中的电化学装置10(即实施例1-实施例18)相对于相关技术中的电化学装置来说,其显著改善了阴极极片1冷压后的打皱情况,也显著改善了极耳翻折的情况,因而通过这样的阴极极片1制成电化学装置10,能够有效地提高电化学装置10的制备优率。
