Definitions
- the present application relates to the field of battery technologies, and in particularly, to an electrode assembly and a related battery cell, battery, apparatus and manufacturing method therefor.
- a battery such as a lithium-ion battery
- a lithium-ion battery has advantages of small size, high energy density, high power density, multiple cycle times, long storage time, and the like, and has been widely applied to some electronic devices, electric vehicles, electric toys and electric devices.
- the lithium-ion battery has been widely applied to products such as mobile phones, notebook computers, electro mobiles, electric automobiles, electric airplanes, electric ships, electric toy cars, electric toy ships, electric toy airplanes, and electric tools.
- the present application provides an electrode assembly and a related battery cell, battery, apparatus and manufacturing method therefor, to extend the service life of the battery and improve the safety of the battery.
- An embodiment in a first aspect of the present application provides an electrode assembly, which includes: a first electrode sheet and a second electrode sheet having different polarities; and a separating member or separator configured to separate the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet, the separating member including at least two layers, where the first electrode sheet, the second electrode sheet and the separating member are wound to form the electrode assembly.
- the strength of the separating member is increased by increasing the number of layers of the separating member, and thus when the electrode assembly produces lithium dendrites due to lithium plating or the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet produce burrs during winding, the separating member is not easily punctured or damaged, thereby effectively preventing the problem of a short circuit of the electrode assembly caused by the breakage of the separating member, reducing the risk of failure of the electrode assembly, and improving the service life and safety of the electrode assembly.
- the separating member includes a first separating member or separator and a second separating member or separator, and the second separating member is a folding part formed by at an end of the first separating member.
- the second separating member is formed by folding from the end of the first separating member, it is not necessary to separately provide and fix the second separating member, so that the winding process is more convenient and the integrity of the separating member better.
- the electrode assembly includes a starting segment along a winding direction, and the end of the first separating member is located in the starting segment.
- the end of the first separating member is located in the starting segment, so that the second separating member extends a short distance from the starting segment and can reach a first bending position close to the starting segment, thereby saving the material of the separating member and reducing the cost while increasing the strength of the separating member at the bending position and reducing the probability of its breakage.
- the electrode assembly includes a bending region formed by winding and bending the first electrode sheet, the second electrode sheet and the separating member, the bending region includes a first bending position close to the starting segment along the winding direction, the first bending position is provided with the first separating member and the second separating member, and the first separating member and the second separating member extend from the starting segment to exceed the first bending position.
- the number of layers and thickness of the separating member at the first bending position can be at least increased by providing the first separating member and the second separating member at the first bending position and allowing the first separating member and the second separating member to extend from the starting segment to exceed the first bending position, thereby at least protecting the most vulnerable part of the separating member, improving the service life and safety of the electrode assembly, and maximizing the material saving for the second separating member.
- the electrode assembly includes a bending region formed by winding and bending the first electrode sheet, the second electrode sheet and the separating member, the bending region includes a plurality of bending positions along a winding direction, the separating member includes a first separating member and a second separating member, and the first separating member and the second separating member are stacked at at least one of the plurality of bending positions.
- the second separating member is additionally provided at some or all of the plurality of bending positions, which can increase the number of layers and thickness of the separating member at the bending positions, improve the strength of the separating member, reduce the probability of its breakage, and improve the service life and safety of the electrode assembly.
- second separating members are arranged at internals along the winding direction.
- the second separating members are arranged at internals in the winding direction, so that the arrangement of the second separating members is more flexible, and the waste of the material of the second separating members could be avoided by additionally providing the second separating member only at a position where the strength needs to be increased.
- the electrode assembly includes a starting segment along the winding direction, the plurality of bending positions include a first bending position and a second bending position, the first bending position is closer to the starting segment than the second bending position, the first separating member and the second separating member are disposed at the first bending position and the second bending position, and a thickness of a part of the second separating member located at the first bending position is greater than a thickness of a part of the second separating member located at the second bending position.
- the second separating member may adapt to strength requirements of different positions by setting the thickness of the part of the second separating member located at the first bending position to be greater than the thickness of the part of the second separating member located at the second bending position, which reduces the amount of the second separating member while reducing the probability of breakage of the separating member.
- the second separating member is bonded to a surface of the first separating member.
- the second separating member is disposed on the surface of the first separating member by bonding, so that the second separating member does not shift easily during charging and discharging, and effectively protects the bonding place continuously.
- the first separating member includes two surfaces along a thickness direction, and second separating members are located on a same surface of the first separating member.
- the second separating members are disposed on the same surface of the first separating member, so that the processing for the second separating member is more convenient, and when the first separating member is strained due to the binding force, the provision of the second separating members on the same surface could reduce the impact on the distance between the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet in the case of enhancing the strength of the separating member, and aggravation of the lithium plating phenomenon of the electrode assembly is avoided.

- The present application relates to the field of battery technologies, and in particularly, to an electrode assembly and a related battery cell, battery, apparatus and manufacturing method therefor.
- A battery, such as a lithium-ion battery, has advantages of small size, high energy density, high power density, multiple cycle times, long storage time, and the like, and has been widely applied to some electronic devices, electric vehicles, electric toys and electric devices. For example, the lithium-ion battery has been widely applied to products such as mobile phones, notebook computers, electro mobiles, electric automobiles, electric airplanes, electric ships, electric toy cars, electric toy ships, electric toy airplanes, and electric tools.
- In the development of the battery technology, in addition to improving performance of batteries, the service life and safety cannot be ignored. If the service life of batteries does not reach the expected time, the maintenance and use costs of the batteries will be high. If the safety of the batteries cannot be ensured, the batteries cannot be used normally. Therefore, how to extend the service life of a battery and improve the safety of the battery is an urgent technical problem to be solved in the battery technology.
- In view of the above problem, the present application provides an electrode assembly and a related battery cell, battery, apparatus and manufacturing method therefor, to extend the service life of the battery and improve the safety of the battery.
- An embodiment in a first aspect of the present application provides an electrode assembly, which includes: a first electrode sheet and a second electrode sheet having different polarities; and a separating member or separator configured to separate the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet, the separating member including at least two layers, where the first electrode sheet, the second electrode sheet and the separating member are wound to form the electrode assembly.

- In some embodiments, the separating member includes a first separating member or separator and a second separating member or separator, and the second separating member is a folding part formed by at an end of the first separating member.

- The end of the first separating member is located in the starting segment, so that the second separating member extends a short distance from the starting segment and can reach a first bending position close to the starting segment, thereby saving the material of the separating member and reducing the cost while increasing the strength of the separating member at the bending position and reducing the probability of its breakage.
- In some embodiments, the electrode assembly includes a bending region formed by winding and bending the first electrode sheet, the second electrode sheet and the separating member, the bending region includes a first bending position close to the starting segment along the winding direction, the first bending position is provided with the first separating member and the second separating member, and the first separating member and the second separating member extend from the starting segment to exceed the first bending position.
- Since the closer a bending position is to the starting segment, the greater stress it receives, the number of layers and thickness of the separating member at the first bending position can be at least increased by providing the first separating member and the second separating member at the first bending position and allowing the first separating member and the second separating member to extend from the starting segment to exceed the first bending position, thereby at least protecting the most vulnerable part of the separating member, improving the service life and safety of the electrode assembly, and maximizing the material saving for the second separating member.
- In some embodiments, the electrode assembly includes a bending region formed by winding and bending the first electrode sheet, the second electrode sheet and the separating member, the bending region includes a plurality of bending positions along a winding direction, the separating member includes a first separating member and a second separating member, and the first separating member and the second separating member are stacked at at least one of the plurality of bending positions.

- In some embodiments, second separating members are arranged at internals along the winding direction.
- The second separating members are arranged at internals in the winding direction, so that the arrangement of the second separating members is more flexible, and the waste of the material of the second separating members could be avoided by additionally providing the second separating member only at a position where the strength needs to be increased.

- Since the stress the first bending position receives is greater than that the second bending position receives, the second separating member may adapt to strength requirements of different positions by setting the thickness of the part of the second separating member located at the first bending position to be greater than the thickness of the part of the second separating member located at the second bending position, which reduces the amount of the second separating member while reducing the probability of breakage of the separating member.
- In some embodiments, the second separating member is bonded to a surface of the first separating member.
- The second separating member is disposed on the surface of the first separating member by bonding, so that the second separating member does not shift easily during charging and discharging, and effectively protects the bonding place continuously.
- In some embodiments, the first separating member includes two surfaces along a thickness direction, and second separating members are located on a same surface of the first separating member.

- In the present application, a battery cell may include a lithium-ion secondary battery, a lithium-ion primary battery, a lithium-sulfur battery, a sodium/lithium-ion battery, a sodium-ion battery, a magnesium-ion battery, or the like, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The battery cell may be cylindrical, flat, cuboid or in another shape, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application. The battery cell is generally divided into three types according to the way of packaging: a cylindrical battery cell, a prismatic battery cell and a pouch battery cell, which is also not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
- The battery cell includes an electrode assembly and an electrolyte, and the electrode assembly is composed of a positive electrode sheet, a negative electrode sheet and a separating member. The operation of the battery cell mainly relies on movement of metal ions between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet. The positive electrode sheet includes a positive electrode current collector and a positive active material layer. The positive active material layer is coated on a surface of the positive electrode current collector, the current collector not coated with the positive active material layer protrudes from the current collector coated with the positive active material layer, and the current collector not coated with the positive active material layer is used as a positive tab. In an example of a lithium-ion battery, the material of the positive electrode current collector may be aluminum, and the positive active material may be lithium cobalt oxides, lithium iron phosphate, ternary lithium, lithium manganate, or the like. The negative electrode sheet includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative active material layer. The negative active material layer is coated on a surface of the negative electrode current collector, the current collector not coated with the negative active material layer protrudes from the current collector coated with the negative active material layer, and the current collector not coated with the negative active material layer is used as a negative tab. The material of the negative electrode current collector may be copper, and the negative active material may be carbon, silicon, or the like. In order to ensure that no fusing occurs when a large current passes, there are a plurality of positive tabs which are stacked together, and there are a plurality of negative tabs which are stacked together. The material of the separating member may be polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), or the like. In addition, the electrode assembly may be a winding structure or a laminated structure, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
- The battery mentioned in the embodiments of the present application refers to a single physical module including one or more battery cells to provide a higher voltage and capacity. For example, the battery mentioned in the present application may include a battery module, a battery pack, or the like. The battery generally includes a box for packaging one or more battery cells. The box may avoid liquid or other foreign matters to affect charging or discharging of the battery cell.
- With the development of the battery technology, it is necessary to consider factors in multiple aspects simultaneously, such as energy density, cycle life, discharge capacity, charging and discharging rate and other performance parameters. In addition, safety of the battery should also be considered.
- The separating member is very important for the electrode assembly. The separating member is disposed between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, and mainly configured to prevent the contact between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, so as not to cause an internal short circuit in the electrode assembly and result in a reduction in performance and service life of the battery directly.
- The electrode assembly usually includes a bending region and a non-bending region. The curvature of the electrode assembly in the bending region is greater, the stress it receives in the bending region is greater, and the capacity ratio of the negative active material to the positive active material in location of greater stress of the bending region is lower than that at other positions. Thus, lithium dendrites are more easily produced in location of greater stress of the bending region during the use of the electrode assembly. Under the action of the stress, the lithium dendrites easily puncture the separating member to result in the contact between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet, causing an internal short circuit in the electrode assembly.
- In addition, since the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet may produce microcracks during winding or stacking for example, and further produce burrs, the separating member is also easily punctured by the burrs under the action of the large stress, thereby causing a short circuit in the electrode assembly and even causing thermal runaway phenomena such as fire and explosion of the battery cell.
- In view of this, the inventor of the present application has designed an electrode assembly, and the electrode assembly includes a separating member with at least two layers disposed between adjacent first and second electrode sheets. In such a electrode assembly, the probability of breakage of the separating member can be reduced, thereby reducing the risk of an internal short circuit between the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet, and improving the service life and safety of a battery.
- The electrode assembly disclosed in the embodiments of the present application is applicable to a battery cell, a battery and a power consumption apparatus using a battery.
- The power consumption apparatus may be a vehicle, a mobile phone, a portable device, a notebook computer, a ship, a spacecraft, an electric toy, an electric tool, and the like. The vehicle may be a fuel-powered vehicle, a gas-powered vehicle or a new energy vehicle, and the new energy vehicle may be a battery electric vehicle, a hybrid vehicle, an extended-range vehicle, or the like; the spacecraft includes an airplane, a rocket, a space shuttle, a spaceship, and the like; the electric toy includes a fixed or mobile electric toy, such as a game console, an electric vehicle toy, an electric ship toy, and an electric airplane toy; and the electric tool includes an electric metal cutting tool, an electric grinding tool, an electric assembling tool and an electric railway tool, such as an electric drill, an electric grinder, an electric spanner, an electric screwdriver, an electric hammer, an electric impact drill, an concrete vibrator and an electric planer.

FIG. 3 ,FIG. 3 is a schematic exploded view of abattery cell 6 provided in some embodiments of the present application. Thebattery cell 6 refers to the smallest unit for constituting thebattery 2. As shown inFIG. 3 , thebattery cell 6 includes anend cover 61, ahousing 62, anelectrode assembly 100 and other functional components. - The
end cover 61 refers to a component that covers an opening of thehousing 62 to isolate the internal environment of thebattery cell 6 from the external environment. The shape of theend cover 61 may adapt to the shape of thehousing 62 to fit thehousing 62. Theend cover 61 may be made of a material with a certain hardness and strength (such as aluminum alloy), and in this way, theend cover 61 does not easily deform when it is squeezed and collided, so that the structural strength of thebattery cell 6 is higher, and the safety performance can be improved. Functional components such as electrode terminals may be disposed on theend cover 61. The electrode terminals may be configured to be electrically connected with theelectrode assembly 100 for outputting or inputting electric energy of thebattery cell 6. In some embodiments, a pressure relief mechanism may be further disposed on theend cover 61, the pressure relief mechanism being configured to relieve an internal pressure when the internal pressure or temperature of thebattery cell 6 reaches a threshold.

Exemplarily, the insulating member may be made of plastic, rubber or other materials. - The
housing 62 is an assembly configured to fit theend cover 61 to form the internal environment of thebattery cell 6, where the formed internal environment may be used to accommodate theelectrode assembly 100, an electrolytic solution and other components. Thehousing 62 and theend cover 61 may be independent components, an opening may be provided on thehousing 62, and theend cover 61 covers the opening at the opening to form the internal environment of thebattery cell 6. Theend cover 61 and thehousing 62 may be integrated. Specifically, theend cover 61 and thehousing 62 may form a common connecting face first before other components are placed in the housing, and when the interior of thehousing 62 is required to be packaged, theend cover 61 then covers thehousing 62. Thehousing 62 may be in various shapes and sizes, such as a cuboid, a cylinder, a hexagonal prism. Specifically, the shape of thehousing 62 may be determined according to the specific shape and size of theelectrode assembly 100. The material of thehousing 62 may be various, for example, copper, iron, aluminum, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, plastic, which is not specially limited in the embodiments of the present application. - The
electrode assembly 100 is a component in thebattery cell 6 that is infiltrated in the electrolytic solution to undergo an electrochemical reaction.

During the charging and discharging of thebattery cell 6, the positive active material and the negative active material react with the electrolytic solution, and the tabs are connected to the electrode terminals to form a current loop. - With reference to
FIG. 4 andFIG. 5 ,FIG. 4 is a schematic structural diagram of anelectrode assembly 100 provided in some embodiments of the present application. - As shown in
FIG. 4 , theelectrode assembly 100 includes: afirst electrode sheet 110 and asecond electrode sheet 120 having opposite polarities; and a separatingmember 130 configured to separate thefirst electrode sheet 110 and thesecond electrode sheet 120, the separatingmember 130 including at least two layers, where thefirst electrode sheet 110, thesecond electrode sheet 120 and the separatingmember 130 are wound to form theelectrode assembly 100. - The
first electrode sheet 110 and thesecond electrode sheet 120 having opposite polarities mentioned in the present application may be understood as a positive electrode sheet and a negative electrode sheet. The separatingmember 130 mentioned in the present application may be referred to as a separator, which is shown with a line in the drawings, but actually the separating member 13 has a thickness. The winding mentioned in the present application should be understood as winding thefirst electrode sheet 110, thesecond electrode sheet 120 and the separatingmember 130 into several turns to form theelectrode assembly 100. One turn refers to that a certain point on theelectrode assembly 100 is used as a starting end for calculation, and travels along a winding direction X (FIG. 5 ) for one circle to reach another point to locate an ending end, the ending end and the starting end as well as the center of the turn are on a straight line, and the starting end is between the ending end and the center of the turn. Each turn may include a layer of thefirst electrode sheet 110, a layer of the separatingmember 130, a layer of thesecond electrode sheet 120 and a layer of the separatingmember 130, and the separatingmember 130 is configured to separate adjacent turns or adjacent first andsecond electrode sheets member 130 with at least two layers mentioned in the present application may be understood as at least adding another layer of the separatingmember 130 based on a layer of the separatingmember 130 between thefirst electrode sheet 110 and thesecond electrode 120 in some cases. - It can be understood that the separating
member 130 with at least two layers is disposed between the adjacent first andsecond electrode sheets electrode assembly 100, which can increase the number of layers and strength of the separatingmember 130 of theelectrode assembly 100. Thus, when thefirst electrode sheet 110 and/or thesecond electrode sheet 120 have a problem of lithium plating or produce burrs during the winding, the separatingmember 130 is not easily punctured or damaged, which reduces the risk of a short circuit in theelectrode assembly 100 due to the breakage of theelectrode assembly 130, and improves the service life and safety of theelectrode assembly 100. - With reference to
FIG. 5 ,FIG. 5 is a schematic structural diagram of an unfoldedelectrode assembly 100 provided in some embodiments of the present application. - As shown in
FIG. 5 , in some embodiments of the present application, the separatingmember 130 includes afirst separating member 131 and asecond separating member 132, and thesecond separating member 132 is a folding part formed at an end of thefirst separating member 131. - The
first separating member 131 may be understood as a layer of the separatingmember 130 between thefirst electrode sheet 110 and thesecond electrode sheet 120 in some cases described above, that is, a basic separating member; and thesecond separating member 132 may be understood as at least one added layer of the separating member, that is, an additional separating member. Thesecond separating member 132 is formed by folding from the end of thefirst separating member 131, which may be understood as a face that thesecond separating member 132 is formed by folding in half from the end of thefirst separating member 131, and the position where the folding in half occurs is a boundary between thefirst separating member 131 and thesecond separating member 132. - According to this setting, since the
second separating member 132 extends directly from the end of thefirst separating member 131, it is not necessary to separately add and fix thesecond separating member 132, so that the winding process is more convenient, and the integrity of the separatingmember 130 is better. - As shown in
FIG. 4 andFIG. 5 , in some embodiments of the present application, theelectrode assembly 100 includes a startingsegment 140 along the winding direction X, and the end of thefirst separating member 131 is located in the starting segment. - The starting
segment 140 along the winding direction X mentioned in the present application refers to an end of theelectrode assembly 100 located in the innermost turn. According to this setting, thesecond separating member 132 may extend along the winding direction X from the startingsegment 140 and pass through a bending position of the innermost turn, and thus, the strength of the separatingmember 130 located at the bending position of the innermost turn can be increased, the probability of breakage of the separatingmember 130 reduced, and the distance by which thesecond separating member 132 needs to extend shortened, so as to save the material of the separatingmember 130 and reduce the cost. - With reference to
FIG. 6 ,FIG. 6 is a schematic structural diagram of anelectrode assembly 100 provided in some other embodiments of the present application. - As shown in
FIG. 6 , in some embodiments of the present application, theelectrode assembly 100 includes a bending region B formed by winding and bending thefirst electrode sheet 110, thesecond electrode sheet 120 and the separatingmember 130, the bending region B includes a first bending position B1 close to the startingsegment 140 along the winding direction X, the first bending position B1 is provided with thefirst separating member 131 and thesecond separating member 132, and thefirst separating member 131 and thesecond separating member 132 extend from the startingsegment 140 to exceed the first bending position B1. - The bending region B mentioned in the present application refers to a bending region of the
electrode assembly 100 that occurs during the winding, and the curvature of theelectrode assembly 100 at a surface in this region is smaller than the curvature of theelectrode assembly 100 at a surface in another region. The first bending position B1 mentioned in the present application may be understood as a bending position closest to the startingsegment 140 along the winding direction X. - Since the first bending position B1 is closest to the starting
segment 140, the curvature of theelectrode assembly 100 at the first bending position B1 is the greatest, and the stress theelectrode assembly 100 receives at the first bending position B1 is also the greatest, and lithium dendrites or burrs are more easily produced at the first bending position B, thereby puncturing the separatingmember 130 and causing an internal short circuit in theelectrode assembly 100. According to the above setting, the strength of the separatingmember 130 at the first bending position B1 can be at least increased, thereby at least protecting the first bending position B1 that is the most vulnerable, and maximizing the saving of thesecond separating member 132 while improving the service life and safety of theelectrode assembly 100. - With reference to
FIG. 7 ,FIG. 7 is a schematic structural diagram of anelectrode assembly 100 provided in still other embodiments of the present application. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , in some embodiments of the present application, theelectrode assembly 100 includes a bending region B formed by winding and bending thefirst electrode sheet 110, thesecond electrode sheet 120 and the separatingmember 130, the bending region B includes a plurality of bending positions along the winding direction X, the separatingmember 130 includes afirst separating member 131 and asecond separating member 132, and thefirst separating member 131 and thesecond separating member 132 are stacked at at least one of the plurality of bending positions. -
FIG. 7 only shows some bending positions, such as bending positions B1 and B2. Multiple layers ofsecond separating members 132 may be disposed at the same position (for example, the same bending position). Thesecond separating member 132 may extend through one or more bending positions. - The
second separating member 132 is additionally provided at some or all of the plurality of bending positions, which can increase the number of layers and thickness of the separatingmember 130 at the bending positions, improve the strength of the separatingmember 130, reduce the probability of its breakage, and improve the service life and safety of theelectrode assembly 100. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , in some embodiments of the present application,second separating members 132 are arranged at internals along the winding direction X. - The arrangement of the
second separating members 132 at intervals may be understood as a fact that thesecond separating members 132 are not connected as a whole piece, but are separate. - According to this setting, the
second separating member 132 may be disposed only at a position where the strength needs to be increased, so that the arrangement of thesecond separating member 132 is more flexible, and the additional provision of thesecond separating member 132 at an unnecessary position can be avoided to not cause waste. - As shown in
FIG. 7 , in some embodiments of the present application, theelectrode assembly 100 includes a startingsegment 140 along the winding direction X, the plurality of bending positions include a first bending position B1 and a second bending position B2, the first bending position B1 is closer to the startingsegment 140 than the second bending position B2, thefirst separating member 131 and thesecond separating member 132 are disposed at the first bending position B1 and the second bending position B2, and a thickness of a part of thesecond separating member 132 located at the first bending position B1 is greater than a thickness of a part of thesecond separating member 132 located at the second bending position B2. - The
electrode assembly 100 includes an innermost turn and an outermost turn, as well as other turns between the innermost turn and the outermost turn, and the startingsegment 140 is located at the starting position of the innermost turn. According to the winding rule of theelectrode assembly 100, it can be known that the radius of curvature at the bending position of theelectrode assembly 100 gradually decreases from the outermost turn to the innermost turn, and the stress it receives gradually increases. Therefore, the probability of breakage of the separatingmember 130 at the bending position gradually decreases from the innermost turn to the outermost turn, and the breakage probability at the first bending position B1 is greater than that at the second bending position B2. - According to the above setting, the
second separating member 132 may adapt to strength requirements of different positions, which reduces the amount of thesecond separating member 132 while reducing the probability of breakage of the separatingmember 130. - In some embodiments of the present application, the
second separating member 132 is bonded to a surface of thefirst separating member 131. - The bonding mentioned in the present application may be hot bonding. The
second separating member 132 may be bonded to different positions on the surface of thefirst separating member 131 according to specific needs. - The
second separating member 132 is disposed on the surface of thefirst separating member 131 by bonding, which can prevent thesecond separating member 132 from shifting during charging and discharging, and effect the protective effect on the bonding place. - With reference to
FIG. 8 ,FIG. 8 is a schematic structural diagram of theelectrode assembly 100 inFIG. 7 after unfolding. - As shown in
FIG. 8 , in some embodiments of the present application, thefirst separating member 131 includes two surfaces along a thickness direction Y, and second separatingmembers 132 are located on a same surface of thefirst separating member 131. - The two surfaces along the thickness direction Y may include a first surface A1 and a second surface A2, and all of the
second separating members 132 may be located on the first surface A1 of thefirst separating member 131. - The long distance between the
first electrode sheet 110 and thesecond electrode sheet 120 may affect the lithiation process, resulting in lithium plating phenomenon.
