Background
In recent years, the demand of power batteries for high energy density is increasing, and silicon-based negative electrodes have been a research hotspot due to higher gram capacity. Because the full-charge thickness of the silicon-based negative electrode sheet is about 20 to 70 percent different from the rolled thickness, the irreversible expansion is about 5 to 35 percent, the problem of wrinkling such as irregular deformation of the sheet is easy to occur in the production process, gas generated during formation cannot be timely discharged to form bubble-shaped lithium precipitation, and lithium precipitation caused by wrinkling is easy to occur during capacity separation and subsequent charge and discharge.
When the current square shell silicon-based battery is manufactured, the group margin is generally 60-90%, a larger space is formed inside the battery core after the battery core is filled in the shell, the battery core can not be restrained from free deformation by applying external pressure to the battery during charging and discharging, the process generally selects lamination or coiled battery core to be filled in the shell for liquid filling infiltration, and the battery core is formed into a component section for charging and discharging by using an opening negative pressure.
The problem of irregular deformation of the pole piece caused by open negative pressure charge and discharge is not obviously improved, gas generated by formation is not discharged in the pole piece in time to cause bubble-shaped lithium precipitation, electrolyte is easy to change, the process is complex, and the effect is poor. In addition, the manufacturing of the square shell battery generally carries out hot pressing and thermal compounding on the stacked core or the rolled core, but the expansion of the silicon-based pole piece is large, the method can only slightly improve, the problem of pole piece fold after component formation cannot be completely solved, moreover, the battery core after hot pressing or thermal compounding is easy to generate poor infiltration, black lines or lithium precipitation are formed at the middle part of the battery core, and the performance of the battery core is influenced.
