Description

Utmost point ear, pole piece subassembly and battery
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field related to lithium batteries and battery materials, and particularly relates to a tab, a pole piece assembly and a battery.
Background
With the current social development and technological progress, lithium ion batteries have been widely used as power sources for portable electronic products such as mobile communication, portable computers, digital cameras, etc., and power storage systems for electric vehicles, due to the significant advantages of both high specific energy and long cycle life, in the existing secondary battery systems. In recent years, high energy density and long driving range are the key directions for the research and development of lithium batteries, but the instability of the electrode material structure caused by the high energy density easily causes thermal runaway inside the battery, and further causes the battery to explode, so that the attention and the requirement on the safety of the battery are higher and higher, and the battery is expected not to be burnt or exploded after being damaged by violent impact, puncture and the like.
The tab is a metal conductor, is electrically connected with the current collector, and is communicated with an external circuit. The mass flow body that uses always is metal foil mass flow body and compound mass flow body, compares with the metal foil mass flow body, and compound mass flow body can not only reduce the quality, can also effectively increase the security performance. However, the middle layer is non-conductive, and the surface metal layer is thin, so that the welding internal resistance of the composite current collector is large, and the rate performance of the battery is influenced. Therefore, it is necessary to modify the existing tab, so that the conductive performance of the composite current collector lithium ion battery is greatly enhanced, and the tab can also be used for the conventional metal foil current collector lithium ion battery.
CN110335984A discloses a forked tab, an electrode assembly and a battery, which can be used to solve the problem that the intermediate layer of the composite current collector is not conductive, but this way not only adds a process, but also reduces the welding area between the tab and the current collector, and can not effectively reduce the welding internal resistance, and experiments verify that when the metal layers on the upper and lower surfaces of the composite current collector are connected together by ultrasonic welding, the high extrusion force and the welding power can extrude the polymer layer of the composite current collector to one side during welding, and the existence of the high extrusion force and the welding power has almost no influence on the welding internal resistance, so the forked tab can not effectively solve the problem that the welding internal resistance of the composite current collector is large.
CN110190244A discloses a soft-packing battery tab, it widens through carrying out the attenuate to utmost point ear lower extreme, promotes the volume energy density of lithium cell to increase and be used for strengthening the electric current derivation with the area of contact of mass flow body, when this kind of utmost point ear is applied to lithium cell tab welding, not only need increase mass flow body welding reserve area, and be difficult to be applied to the welding of compound mass flow body, the application limitation of this utmost point ear is great.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a battery including a battery housing and a pole piece assembly as described above.
Compared with the prior art, the technical scheme of the invention has the following remarkable advantages:
1. the invention effectively solves the problem of large resistivity of the current collector caused by small thickness of a metal layer, particularly existence of a non-metal layer when the existing tab is applied to the composite current collector by changing the structure of the existing tab. Compared with the existing tab, the width of the first lower end part and the width of the second lower end part are set to be larger than that of the upper end part, so that when the tab is welded with the current collector, the welding point position is effectively increased, the welding resistance of the lithium ion battery is reduced, and the electrochemical performance of the lithium ion battery is effectively enhanced.
2. When the composite current collector is adopted, the first lower end part and the second lower end part of the lug are respectively welded on the metal layers on the two sides, so that the influence of the middle non-metal layer is completely avoided, and the resistance of the composite current collector can be effectively reduced. Meanwhile, when the electrode lug is welded, pressure does not need to be increased, so that the risks that the thickness of the upper metal layer and the thickness of the lower metal layer are thinner due to the fact that the middle high polymer layer is squeezed open due to overlarge pressure, the metal layers are easy to break and vacancy under the action of large pressure, welding resistance is increased, and the performance of a battery is affected are effectively avoided.
