The lithium ion battery has the advantages of light weight, small volume, large capacitance, high charging speed and the like, and is widely applied to various digital and communication products such as notebook computers, mobile phones, digital cameras and the like and vehicles such as electric bicycles, electric automobiles and the like. With the development of these products, the lithium ion battery has been required to have high capacity and light weight, and in order to meet the above requirements, lithium ion battery manufacturers often use aluminum materials to prepare battery cases to reduce the wall thickness of battery cases. However, the strength of the aluminum material is low, and after the aluminum material is prepared into a battery shell, the flatness of the battery shell is poor due to the fact that the internal and external pressure intensity difference is easy to deform, so that wrinkling bubbles are easy to occur on a blue-coated film, the gluing thickness is uneven when a module is assembled, and the problems of insufficient gluing area and glue overflow are caused.
Among the correlation technique, in order to solve the battery aluminum hull and easily take place to warp and gluing thickness is inhomogeneous when leading to the equipment module rubber coating, and then lead to the problem that the moulding area is not enough and overflow to glue, like the battery case shown in fig. 1, generally can set up a plurality of support bands 4 on the shell bottom 2' of battery case, be equipped with the clearance between the adjacent support band 4, the clearance is used for setting up bonding glue 5, support the not enough of 2' plane degree at the bottom of the shell that 4's setting can effectively compensate battery case, make the packing that bonding glue 5 can be abundant between battery module and battery case, and make rubber coating thickness more even through the clearance between restriction battery case and the battery module, the difficult problem of control of rubber coating thickness has effectively been solved. However, such a design requires space inside the aluminum case, which affects the weight and volumetric energy density of the battery case.
The applicant researches and discovers that lithium metal can be doped in the material of the aluminum shell of the battery so as to improve the rigidity of the aluminum shell of the battery, improve the planeness of the battery cell, reduce the weight of the battery shell and further improve the volume energy density of the battery cell.
Based on the above consideration, in order to solve the problem that the existing battery aluminum case is easy to deform, the applicant has conducted intensive research and designed an aluminum alloy plate for a lithium ion battery, which comprises Li, al, mn, si and Cu, wherein the weight percentage of Li is 0.5wt% to 3.0wt%, and the weight percentage of Al is 96.5wt% to 99wt%.
The aluminum alloy plate takes aluminum as a main material, and is doped with lithium metal, so that the aluminum alloy plate has the characteristics of low density, high strength, better corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, proper ductility and the like.

The Al content in the aluminum alloy sheet may be 96.5wt%, 97.0wt%, 97.5wt%, 98wt%, 98.5wt%, or 99wt%, or the like, and may be other values within the above range, which is not limited herein.
Understandably, the metal activity of Li is strong, li is the metal with the minimum density, li is added into the aluminum alloy plate, the extensibility of the plate can be improved, the flatness of a battery cell can be improved, the weight of a battery shell can be lightened, the volume energy density of the battery cell can be further improved, and Li can enable aluminum to form a compound (such as Mg) with other metals 5 Al 8 ) Uniform deposition, improved welding performance, reduced laser welding power, and reduced generation probability of welding slag. Mn is added into the aluminum alloy plate to prevent the recrystallization process of the aluminum alloy and improveThe recrystallization temperature can obviously refine recrystallized grains and improve the ductility, and the other function is to dissolve other impurities (such as iron) to form (Fe, mn) Al 6 And the harmful effects of other impurities are reduced. Si improves the strength of the aluminum alloy sheet, so that the aluminum alloy sheet has excellent casting performance and corrosion resistance. Cu is an important alloy element in the aluminum alloy plate, has certain solid solution strengthening effect and is CuAl precipitated by aging 2 Has obvious aging strengthening effect.
Through doping lithium metal in aluminum alloy plate, can promote the rigidity of current battery aluminum hull, can promote the resistant deformability of battery aluminum hull, improve electric core plane degree, alleviate battery case weight simultaneously, further promote the volume energy density of electric core. Meanwhile, the laser welding power of the plate can be reduced, the probability of welding slag generation is reduced, and the welding efficiency is improved. By limiting the mass percentage of Li in the aluminum alloy plate to be 0.5wt% -3.0 wt%, the deformation resistance of the aluminum alloy plate can be ensured, and the manufacturing cost and the impact strength of the whole aluminum alloy plate can also be ensured. When the mass percentage of Li in the aluminum alloy plate is less than 0.5wt%, the deformation resistance of the aluminum alloy plate is not ideal, and when the mass percentage of Li in the aluminum alloy plate is more than 3wt%, the manufacturing cost of the whole battery aluminum shell is affected, and meanwhile, the impact strength is poor.

It is understood that when the Mn content is more than 1.5wt% in the raw material of the aluminum alloy sheet, the aluminum alloy sheet may have an excessively large ductility, resulting in a tendency of deformation of the aluminum alloy sheet. When the weight percentage of Si in the raw material of the aluminum alloy sheet is greater than 0.6wt%, the solid solubility of the sheet increases, which is not favorable for processing and softening, and the sheet is unfavorable for forming, which also deteriorates the laser welding performance of the sheet. When the weight percentage of Cu in the raw materials of the aluminum alloy plate is more than 0.2wt%, the solid solubility of the plate is increased, and the plate is not beneficial to processing and softening.

Unavoidable impurities are elements outside the controlled range and are inevitably mixed in from metal raw materials, recovered materials, and the like. Typical unavoidable impurity elements are, for example, zn, V, etc., and the inevitable impurities are controlled to be in the range of < 0.2wt%, and even if elements outside the controlled range are included, the effect of the present invention is not inhibited.
By limiting the mass percentage of Li in the aluminum alloy plate to be 0.5wt% -2.0 wt%, the deformation resistance of the aluminum alloy plate can be ensured, and the manufacturing cost and the impact strength of the whole aluminum alloy plate can be ensured.

The battery shell manufactured by the aluminum alloy plate has excellent deformation resistance, and compared with the traditional battery aluminum shell, when the weight percentage content of Li in the aluminum alloy plate is more than 0.5wt%, the deformation resistance of the shell bottom of the battery shell manufactured by the aluminum alloy plate is improved by 3% -9.5%, and the deformation resistance of the shell body is improved by 5% -15%, so that the flatness of the battery can be effectively improved. Meanwhile, the welding power of the battery shell made of the aluminum alloy plate can be reduced by 13.6% -36.4%.
This application aluminum alloy plate can also promote the weight energy density of whole group battery.
