Galvanische Zelle mit irreversibler SicherungGalvanic cell with irreversible fuse
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine wiederaufladbare galvanische Zelle mit mindestens einer lithiuminterkalierenden Elektrode und einem dicht verschlossenen, dünnen und flexiblen Gehäuse, die gegen Schäden durch Kurzschlüsse oder durch Überladung geschützt ist.The present invention relates to a rechargeable galvanic cell having at least one lithium-intercalating electrode and a sealed, thin and flexible housing which is protected against damage caused by short-circuiting or overcharging.
Aufgrund ihrer hohen Energiedichte und dem damit verbundenen niedrigen Gewicht werden wiederaufladbare Lithium-Ionen-Zellen, insbesondere Lithium-Polymer-Zellen, bevorzugt als Energiequellen in portablen Geräten wie tragbaren MP3-Playern, PDA's, Organizern, Notebooks o- der Telefonen eingesetzt.Due to their high energy density and the associated low weight, rechargeable lithium-ion cells, in particular lithium-polymer cells, are preferably used as energy sources in portable devices such as portable MP3 players, PDAs, organizers, notebooks or telephones.
In aller Regel weisen Lithium-Ionen-Zellen bzw. Lithium-Polymer-Zellen brennbare Bestandteile, beispielsweise einen Elektrolyten auf Basis organischer Carbonate, auf. In Verbindung mit der hohen Energiedichte solcher Zellen stellt dies ein potentielles Gefahrenpotenzial für den Verbraucher dar. Entsprechend müssen besondere Sicherheitsvorkehrungen getroffen werden, um Risiken für den Verbraucher auszuschließen bzw. möglichst gering zu halten.As a rule, lithium-ion cells or lithium polymer cells have combustible constituents, for example an electrolyte based on organic carbonates. In combination with the high energy density of such cells, this represents a potential hazard for the consumer. Accordingly, special safety precautions must be taken in order to exclude risks for the consumer or to minimize them as far as possible.
Lithium-Ionen-Zellen bzw. Lithium-Polymer-Zellen können insbesondere durch Stromstöße, wie sie beispielsweise durch einen externen Kurzschluß verursacht werden können, oder durch Überladung beschädigt werden und gegebenenfalls sogar in Brand geraten oder explodieren. Statistisch gesehen zählen insbesondere Überladungen zu den häufigsten Ursachen von Zelldefekten.Lithium-ion cells or lithium-polymer cells can be damaged in particular by power surges, such as those caused by an external short circuit, or by overcharging and may even catch fire or explode. Statistically, overloading is one of the most common causes of cell defects.
Besonders häufig weisen Lithium-Ionen-Zellen, insbesondere Lithium- Polymer-Zellen, eine graphithaltige Anode und eine Lithium-Kobalt-Oxid- basierte Kathode auf. Beim Ladevorgang werden Lithium-Ionen aus dem Lithium-Kobalt-Oxid ausgelagert und in die Graphitschichten der Anode interkaliert. Wird eine solche Zelle überladen, insbesondere auf eine Spannung von über 4,2 V1 so kommt es vor, daß mehr Lithium-Ionen ausgelagert werden, als von den Graphitschichten der Anode aufge- nommen werden können. In der Folge scheidet sich auf der Anode oberflächlich hochreaktives metallisches Lithium ab. Wird der Ladevorgang weiter fortgesetzt und entsprechend die Spannung weiter erhöht, insbesondere auf ein Niveau von deutlich über 4,2 V, so zersetzen sich Bestandteile des Elektrolyten und führen zu einer starken Aufgasung der Pouch-Zelle. Zudem wird die Lithium-Kobalt-Oxid-Struktur durch die fortschreitende Auslagerung des Lithiums immer instabiler, bis sie letztendlich unter Freisetzung von Oxidationsmitteln zusammenbricht. Diese Prozesse führen zu einer starken Erwärmung der Zelle, die in einer explosionsartigen Verbrennung resultieren kann.Lithium-ion cells, in particular lithium-polymer cells, a graphite-containing anode and a lithium-cobalt-oxide-based cathode are particularly common. When charging lithium ions from the Lithium cobalt oxide outsourced and intercalated into the graphite layers of the anode. If such a cell is overloaded, in particular to a voltage of more than 4.2 V 1, then it happens that more lithium ions are removed than can be absorbed by the graphite layers of the anode. As a result, superficially highly reactive metallic lithium deposits on the anode. If the charging process continues and accordingly the voltage is increased further, in particular to a level of well above 4.2 V, components of the electrolyte decompose and lead to a strong gasification of the pouch cell. In addition, the lithium-cobalt-oxide structure becomes more and more unstable due to the progressive removal of lithium, until it eventually collapses with the release of oxidizing agents. These processes lead to a strong heating of the cell, which can result in an explosive combustion.
Um dies zu vermeiden, werden Lithium-Ionen-Zellen, insbesondere Lithium-Polymer-Zellen, häufig mit Sicherheitselektroniken versehen, die den Lade- und Entladevorgang überwachen und die Zelle vor unsachgemäßer Behandlung, insbesondere auch vor externen Kurzschlüssen, schützen. Elektronische Sicherungen haben allerdings den Nachteil, daß sie relativ teuer sind und unter Extrembedingungen wie z.B. hohen Temperaturen bei Sonneneinstrahlung versagen können. Es sind daher vielmehr Zellen gefordert, die auch bei Abwesenheit einer Sicherheitselektronik externe Kurzschlüsse oder Überladungen überstehen können.To avoid this, lithium-ion cells, especially lithium-polymer cells, are often provided with safety electronics that monitor the charging and discharging process and protect the cell from improper handling, especially from external short circuits. However, electronic fuses have the disadvantage that they are relatively expensive and under extreme conditions such as e.g. high temperatures in sunlight can fail. Rather, therefore, cells are required which can withstand external short circuits or overloads even in the absence of safety electronics.
Die vorliegende Erfindung stellt eine galvanische Zelle mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 bereit, die diesen Anforderungen gerecht wird. Bevorzugte Ausführungsformen der erfindungsgemäßen galvanischen Zelle sind in den abhängigen Ansprüchen 2 bis 7 angegeben. Der Wortlaut sämtlicher Ansprüche wird hiermit durch Bezugnahme zum Inhalt dieser Beschreibung gemacht. Eine wiederaufladbare galvanische Zelle gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung weist mindestens eine lithiuminterkalierende Elektrode auf. Es handelt sich bei der erfindungsgemäßen galvanischen Zelle also vorzugsweise um eine Lithium-Ionen-Zelle, insbesondere um eine Lithium- Polymer-Zelle.The present invention provides a galvanic cell having the features of claim 1 that meets these requirements. Preferred embodiments of the galvanic cell according to the invention are specified in the dependent claims 2 to 7. The wording of all claims is hereby incorporated by reference into the content of this specification. A rechargeable galvanic cell according to the present invention has at least one lithium-intercalating electrode. The galvanic cell according to the invention is therefore preferably a lithium-ion cell, in particular a lithium-polymer cell.
Die erfindungsgemäße galvanische Zelle weist ein Gehäuse aus zwei Folien auf, die über eine Klebe- oder Siegelschicht dichtend miteinander verbunden sind, so daß im wesentlichen keine Feuchtigkeit von außen in das Gehäuse eindringen und gegebenenfalls im Gehäuse enthaltener Flüssigelektrolyt nicht austreten kann.The galvanic cell according to the invention has a housing made of two films, which are sealingly connected to each other via an adhesive or sealing layer, so that substantially no moisture from the outside can penetrate into the housing and liquid electrolyte optionally contained in the housing can not escape.
Besonders bevorzugt handelt es sich bei den Gehäusefolien um Alumi- num-Verbundfolien, insbesondere mit der Sequenz Polyamid/Alumi- nium/Polypropylen. Die Gehäusefolien weisen in der Regel eine maximale Dicke von 160 μm auf, so daß ein sehr dünnes und flexibles Gehäuse resultiert.The housing films are particularly preferably aluminum composite films, in particular having the sequence polyamide / aluminum / polypropylene. The housing films generally have a maximum thickness of 160 microns, so that a very thin and flexible housing results.
Besonders zeichnet sich eine erfindungsgemäße galvanische Zelle da- durch aus, daß sie mindestens einen Stromableiter aufweist, in den mindestens eine irreversibel auslösende thermische Sicherung integriert ist. Im Gegensatz zu einer elektrischen Sicherung wird die Auslösung bei der in einer erfindungsgemäßen galvanischen Zelle verwendetenIn particular, a galvanic cell according to the invention is characterized in that it has at least one current conductor in which at least one irreversibly triggering thermal fuse is integrated. In contrast to an electrical fuse, the tripping is used in the case of the galvanic cell according to the invention
Sicherung also nicht durch den sie durchfließenden Strom, sondern vielmehr ausschließlich durch ihre Temperatur verursacht.So fuse is not caused by the current flowing through it, but rather exclusively by its temperature.
Wird eine erfindungsgemäße Zelle überladen, so spricht die irreversibel auslösende thermische Sicherung durch die bei der Überladung entstehende Wärme an und öffnet den Stromkreis - ebenfalls irreversibel. Ei- ne weitere Überladung ist dann nicht mehr möglich, und bereits geschädigte Zellen können - im Gegensatz zu reversiblen Sicherheitselementen - nicht erneut überladen werden. Bei reversibel auslösenden Sicherungen besteht im Gegensatz dazu nämlich die Gefahr, daß die Zelle - A - nach dem Abkühlen wieder geladen wird und nach mehreren Abschaltzyklen ein . Punkt erreicht wird, an dem die eingangs erwähnte explosionsartige Verbrennung einsetzt.If a cell according to the invention is overloaded, then the irreversibly triggering thermal fuse is activated by the heat generated during the overcharging and opens the circuit - likewise irreversibly. Further overcharging is then no longer possible, and already damaged cells - in contrast to reversible security elements - can not be overloaded again. In the case of reversible fuses, on the contrary, there is the danger that the cell - A - is recharged after cooling and after several shutdown cycles. Point is reached at which the above-mentioned explosive combustion begins.
Die mindestens eine Sicherung ist dabei vorzugsweise innerhalb des Gehäuses angeordnet, kann aber alternativ oder zusätzlich auch in die Klebe- oder Siegelschicht eingebettet sein.The at least one fuse is preferably arranged inside the housing, but may alternatively or additionally be embedded in the adhesive or sealing layer.
Wenn die Sicherung innerhalb des Gehäuses angeordnet ist, so kann es bevorzugt sein, daß sie mit einem gegen organische Elektrolyte resistenten Kunststoffüberzug versehen ist. Als Überzug kommen beispielsweise Klebebänder oder Folien auf Basis von Polyimiden, Polyethylen, Polypropylen, Epoxidharz oder Polyurethan in Frage.When the fuse is located within the housing, it may be preferred that it be provided with a plastic coating resistant to organic electrolytes. As a coating, for example, adhesive tapes or films based on polyimides, polyethylene, polypropylene, epoxy resin or polyurethane come into question.
Wenn die Sicherung in die Klebe- oder Siegelschicht eingebettet ist, so sind derartige Schutzüberzüge in aller Regel nicht erforderlich. Unter dem Begriff „eingebettet" soll vorliegend nämlich verstanden werden, daß die thermische Sicherung im Wesentlichen vollständig von den Gehäusefolien umgeben ist und somit weder mit gegebenenfalls im Ge- häuse enthaltenem Elektrolyt noch mit der Umgebung außerhalb des Gehäuses unmittelbar in Kontakt treten kann. Desweiteren hat die Anordnung der thermischen Sicherung innerhalb der Klebe- oder Siegelschicht den Vorteil, daß innerhalb des Gehäuses kein Platz verloren geht, der für Aktivmaterialien genutzt werden könnte.If the fuse is embedded in the adhesive or sealing layer, such protective coatings are usually not required. In the present case, the term "embedded" should be understood to mean that the thermal fuse is essentially completely surrounded by the housing films and thus can not come into direct contact either with electrolyte which may be contained in the housing or with the environment outside the housing the arrangement of the thermal fuse within the adhesive or sealing layer has the advantage that within the housing no space is lost, which could be used for active materials.
In bevorzugten Ausführungsformen weist die thermische Sicherung eine Nenn-Auslösetemperatur zwischen 90 0C und 100 0C auf. Des weiteren ist es bevorzugt, daß die thermische Sicherung eine Haltetemperatur zwischen 50 0C und 60 0C aufweist. Die vorgenannten Werte wurden dabei jeweils bei einem Nennstrom von 2 A bestimmt.In preferred embodiments, the thermal fuse to a nominal operating temperature of 90 0 C and 100 0 C. Furthermore, it is preferred that the thermal fuse has a holding temperature between 50 0 C and 60 0 C. The aforementioned values were determined in each case at a rated current of 2 A.
Unter der Nenn-Auslösetemperatur versteht man die Temperatur, bei der die thermische Sicherung ihre Leitfähigkeit ändert und den Strom- kreis öffnet. Unter der Haltetemperatur versteht man die maximale Temperatur, bei der durch die thermische Sicherung der Nennstrom für eine vorgegebenen Zeit (vorliegend 100 Std.) fließt, ohne daß die Sicherung auslöst, also die Leitfähigkeit ändert und den Stromkreis öffnet.The rated trip temperature is the temperature at which the thermal fuse changes its conductivity and the current circle opens. The holding temperature is the maximum temperature at which the rated current flows through the thermal fuse for a given time (in the present case 100 hours) without the fuse tripping, ie the conductivity changes and the circuit opens.
Desweiteren ist es bevorzugt, daß die thermische Sicherung eine maximale Temperaturgrenze von 150 0C aufweist. Unter der maximalen Temperaturgrenze soll vorliegend die Temperatur verstanden werden, bei der die thermische Sicherung ihre mechanischen und elektrischen Eigenschaften nach erfolgter Auslösung behält und oberhalb derer wieder Strom fließen kann.Furthermore, it is preferred that the thermal fuse has a maximum temperature limit of 150 0 C. In the present case, the maximum temperature limit is understood to be the temperature at which the thermal fuse retains its mechanical and electrical properties after tripping and above which current can flow again.
Der Innenwiederstand einer erfindungsgemäßen galvanischen Zelle liegt vorzugsweise im Bereich zwischen 20 mOhm und 100 mOhm.The internal resistance of a galvanic cell according to the invention is preferably in the range between 20 mOhm and 100 mOhm.
Besonders bevorzugt handelt es sich bei der thermischen Sicherung um eine Schmelzsicherung auf Basis einer Legierung, insbesondere auf Basis von Roses Metall und/oder d'Arcets Metall.The thermal fuse is particularly preferably a fuse based on an alloy, in particular based on Roses metal and / or d'Arcets metal.
Bei Roses Metall handelt es sich bekanntlich um eine Legierung aus Bismut, Blei und Zinn. Der Schmelzpunkt dieser Legierung liegt bei ca. 98 0C und damit unter dem Siedepunkt von Wasser. Im Detail besteht Roses Metall aus 50 % Bismut, zwischen 25 und 28 % Blei und zwischen 22 und 25 % Zinn und weist eine Dichte von ca. 9,32 g/cm3 auf. Ähnliches gilt auch für d'Arcets Metall, ebenfalls einer Legierung aus Bismut, Zinn und Blei, diese weist allerdings einen etwas niedrigeren Schmelzpunkt von ca. 93,75 0C auf.Roses Metal is known to be an alloy of bismuth, lead and tin. The melting point of this alloy is about 98 0 C, and thus below the boiling point of water. In detail, Roses Metall consists of 50% bismuth, between 25 and 28% lead and between 22 and 25% tin and has a density of about 9.32 g / cm 3 . The same applies to d'Arcet's metal, also an alloy of bismuth, tin and lead, but this has a slightly lower melting point of about 93.75 0 C.
Bei den Gehäusefolien einer erfindungsgemäßen galvanischen Zelle handelt es sich insbesondere um Metall/Kunststoff-Verbundfolien wie die vorab bereits erwähnte Aluminium-Verbundfolie. Es ist besonders bevorzugt, daß diese Verbundfolien eine Metallschicht aufweisen, die auf ihrer ins Gehäuseinnere weisenden Seite mit einem elektrischen Isola- tor, beispielsweise einer isolierenden Kunststofffolie oder einem isolierenden Klebeband, beschichtet ist. Bei dem Metall handelt es sich dabei vorzugsweise um Kupfer, Aluminium oder eine Legierung dieser Metalle. Auf der Außenseite der Metallschicht kann eine weitere Schicht, insbe- sondere eine dünne Kunststoffschicht, beispielsweise aus einem Polyester, angeordnet sein.The housing films of a galvanic cell according to the invention are, in particular, metal / plastic composite films such as the aluminum composite film already mentioned above. It is particularly preferred that these composite films have a metal layer which, on its side facing the housing interior, is provided with an electrical insulation. tor, for example, an insulating plastic film or an insulating tape coated. The metal is preferably copper, aluminum or an alloy of these metals. On the outside of the metal layer, a further layer, in particular a thin plastic layer, for example made of a polyester, can be arranged.
Es ist bevorzugt, daß die Isolierschicht auf der ins Gehäuseinnere weisenden Seite der Metallschicht eine Dicke zwischen 20 μm und 70 μm aufweist. Es wurde nämlich gefunden, daß innerhalb dieses Bereiches gewährleistet ist, daß die thermische Sicherung eines erfindungsgemäßen galvanischen Element besonders schnell anspricht. Im Falle einer Überladung oder eines Kurzschlusses breitet sich die Wärme ausgehend von den Elektroden der erfindungsgemäßen galvanischen Zelle unter anderem nämlich auch über die Gehäusefolien einer erfindungsgemäßen galvanischen Zelle aus. Die Weiterleitung der Wärme auf die thermische Sicherung kann jedoch relativ träge erfolgen, wenn die Isolierschicht eine zu große Dicke aufweist.It is preferred that the insulating layer on the inside of the housing facing side of the metal layer has a thickness between 20 microns and 70 microns. It has been found that it is ensured within this range that the thermal fuse of a galvanic element according to the invention responds very quickly. In the case of an overcharge or a short circuit, the heat propagates starting from the electrodes of the galvanic cell according to the invention, inter alia, namely via the housing films of a galvanic cell according to the invention. However, the transmission of heat to the thermal fuse can be carried out relatively slowly, if the insulating layer has too large a thickness.
Besonders bevorzugt handelt es sich bei der Isolierschicht um eine Po- lyolefinschicht, z.B. um eine Schicht aus Polypropylen wie bei der oben erwähnten Aluminium-Verbundfolie.Particularly preferably, the insulating layer is a polyolefin layer, e.g. a layer of polypropylene as in the aluminum composite film mentioned above.
Die beiden Gehäusefolien können, wie bereits angedeutet, durch Ver- klebung miteinander verbunden sein oder auch durch sonstige fachübliche Maßnahmen, beispielsweise durch Verschweißung und/oder Heißversiegelung. Geeignete Maßnahmen sind dem Fachmann bekannt.As already indicated, the two housing films can be connected to one another by adhesive bonding or else by other customary measures, for example by welding and / or heat sealing. Suitable measures are known to the person skilled in the art.
Vorzugsweise weist eine erfindungsgemäße galvanische Zelle mindes- tens ein galvanisches Einzelelement mit zwei stapelartig angeordneten Elektroden auf. Zwischen den Elektroden ist in der Regel immer ein Separator angeordnet, so daß das mindestens eine galvanische Einzelele- ment üblicherweise eine Aufeinanderfolge von negative Elektrode / Separator / positive Elektrode umfaßt.Preferably, a galvanic cell according to the invention has at least one galvanic single element with two electrodes arranged in a stack. As a rule, a separator is always arranged between the electrodes, so that the at least one galvanic individual element usually comprises a succession of negative electrode / separator / positive electrode.
Die mindestens eine positive Elektrode kann als Aktivmaterial beispiels- weise Lithiumkobaltoxid aufweisen. Für die mindestens eine negative Elektrode kommt als Aktivmaterial beispielsweise Graphit in Frage. Der Separator besteht in der Regel aus einem vorzugsweise porösen Kunststoff, beispielsweise aus einem Polyolefin.The at least one positive electrode can have, for example, lithium cobalt oxide as the active material. For the at least one negative electrode comes as an active material, for example graphite in question. The separator is usually made of a preferably porous plastic, for example a polyolefin.
Darüber hinaus kann die erfindungsgemäße galvanische Zelle natürlich auch einen Elektrolyten aufweisen, beispielsweise einen organischen Elektrolyten auf Carbonatbasis, wie eingangs bereits erwähnt.In addition, of course, the galvanic cell according to the invention may of course also comprise an electrolyte, for example an organic electrolyte based on carbonate, as already mentioned above.
Die genannten und weitere Vorteile der Erfindung ergeben sich aus der Beschreibung der nun folgenden Beispiele und der Zeichnung in Verbindung mit den Unteransprüchen. Dabei können die einzelnen Merkmale der Erfindung für sich allein oder in Kombination miteinander verwirklicht sein. Die beschriebenen Ausführungsformen dienen lediglich zur Erläuterung und zum besseren Verständnis der Erfindung und sind in keiner Weise einschränkend zu verstehen.The above and other advantages of the invention will become apparent from the description of the following examples and the drawings in conjunction with the subclaims. In this case, the individual features of the invention can be implemented alone or in combination with each other. The described embodiments are merely illustrative and for a better understanding of the invention and are in no way limiting.
Fig. 1 zeigt schematisch den grundsätzlichen Aufbau einer erfindungsgemäßen Zelle mit integrierter thermischer Sicherung.Fig. 1 shows schematically the basic structure of a cell according to the invention with integrated thermal fuse.
Fig. 2 zeigt das Verhalten einer erfindungsgemäßen Zelle bei Ü- berladung.FIG. 2 shows the behavior of a cell according to the invention in the case of overcharging.
Fig. 3 zeigt das Verhalten einer Vergleichszelle ohne irreversibel thermische Sicherung.Fig. 3 shows the behavior of a comparative cell without irreversible thermal fuse.
Gemäß Fig. 1 ist in einen der beispielsweise aus Nickel, Kupfer oder Aluminium bestehenden Ableiter 2 der Zelle 1 ein irreversibel auslösendes thermisches Sicherungselement 3 integriert, beispielsweise einge- schweißt. Das Sicherungselement 3 ist so angeordnet, daß es im Siegelschicht 4 der Zelle angeordnet ist. Bei geschlossenem Gehäuse ist das Das Sicherungselement 3 im wesentlichen vollständig von den Gehäusefolien ummantelt.1, an irreversibly triggering thermal fuse element 3 is integrated in one of the arresters 2 of the cell 1, which is made, for example, of nickel, copper or aluminum. welded. The fuse element 3 is arranged so that it is arranged in the sealing layer 4 of the cell. When the housing is closed, the securing element 3 is essentially completely encased by the housing films.
Wie Fig. 2 zeigt, stieg bei einem Überladungstest mit einer solchen erfindungsgemäßen Zelle bis etwa 38 Minuten die Temperatur allmählich an. Strom und Spannung blieben dabei im wesentlichen konstant. Bei 38 Minuten stieg die Spannung sprunghaft von ca. 5,5 V auf 12 V an, wäh- rend der Strom auf 0 abfiel. Die Temperatur stieg innerhalb von wenigen Minuten auf über 100 0C an und fiel danach langsam auf Raumtemperatur ab.As shown in Figure 2, in an overcharge test with such a cell of the invention, the temperature gradually increased to about 38 minutes. Current and voltage remained essentially constant. At 38 minutes, the voltage jumped from approximately 5.5V to 12V, while the current dropped to zero. The temperature rose within a few minutes to above 100 0 C and then dropped slowly to room temperature.
Gemäß Fig. 3 verhielten sich bei der Vergleichszelle Strom, Spannung und Temperatur bis 38 Minuten analog. Danach fiel auch hier der Strom auf 0 ab, während die Spannung auf 12 V anstieg. Die Temperatur stieg nach wenigen Minuten exponentiell an und die Zelle verbrannte. According to FIG. 3, in the comparative cell, current, voltage and temperature were analogous up to 38 minutes. Thereafter, the current dropped to 0, while the voltage increased to 12V. The temperature rose exponentially after a few minutes and the cell burned.
