CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
The present application is a reissue of U.S. Pat. No. 10,283,753, which issued May 7, 2019, from U.S. patent application Ser. No. 15/925,660, filed Mar. 19, 2018, incorporated herein by reference, which is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 14/928875, filed Oct. 30, 2015, which claims priority to Chinese Pat. Appl. No. 201410627615.7, filed on Nov. 10, 2014. All of the above Applications are incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this specification. Any and all applications for which foreign or domestic priority claim is identified in the Application Data Sheet as filed with the present application are hereby incorporated.
TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE
The present disclosure relates to a field of energy storage devices, and particularly relates to a cell and an electrochemical device.
BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT DISCLOSURE
With the rapid development of transportation, communication and information industry and increasingly serious energy crisis, and with birth and development of electric vehicles and various portable devices, it is urgent to require an alternative energy with high performance. Because a secondary lithium battery has the advantages, such as high energy density, high cycle performance and low self-discharge rate and the like, it becomes an ideal choice for the alternative energy as a chemical power source. At present, it has been widely used in notebook computers, smart phones, electric tools and other consumer electronics, and has made considerable development and progress in fields of electric vehicles, energy storage batteries and the like in recent years.
The application field of the lithium-ion battery continues to expand rapidly, while the safety performance is always a key issue to be concerned and resolved in the lithium-ion battery industry, and becomes an important factor in determining the development prospects of lithium-ion battery. Causes of safety accidents of the lithium-ion battery include a battery internal short circuit and an external abuse. The factors associated with abuse mainly include external environment overheating, external short circuit, overcharge/overdischarge, and nailing, crushing, impact and other mechanical shocks. In accordance with the level of risk, the safety accidents caused by the above potential safety hazards can be divided into battery swelling, breakage of packaging, smoking, firing, and explosion caused by thermal runaway.
Eliminating the potential safety hazards and reducing the level of risk are effective ways to improve the safety performance of the lithium-ion battery. And, increasing lengths of a part of an aluminum foil current collector not provided with a positive active material layer and a part of a copper foil current collector not provided with a negative active material layer of a wound-type cell at an ending part is one technique widely used currently. Although the redundant part of the aluminum foil current collector not provided with the positive active material layer and the redundant part of the copper foil current collector not provided with the negative active material layer of the wound-type cell at the ending part can surround the cell, internal short circuits can be effectively converted to external short circuits in the cases of nailing, crushing, impact, so as to avoid thermal runaway occurring inside the lithium-ion battery caused by too large current, and in turn to reduce serious accidents such as burning and explosions. But at present the biggest obstacle in such a technology is at the expense of a volumetric specific energy of the battery as a precondition.

Firstly a cell according to a first aspect of the present disclosure will be described.
Referring to FIGS. 3-15 , a cell according to a first aspect of the present disclosure comprises: a first electrode plate 1 comprising a first current collector 11 and a first active material layer 12 which is selectively provided on a surface S11 of the first current collector 11 and contains a first active material; a second electrode plate 2 opposite to the first electrode plate 1 in electric polarity, comprising a second current collector 21 and a second active material layer 22 which is selectively provided on a surface S21 of the second current collector 21 and contains a second active material; a first electrode tab 3 provided and electrically connected to the first current collector 11 of the first electrode plate 1; a second electrode tab 4 provided and electrically connected to the second current collector 21 of the second electrode plate 2; and a separator 5 provided between the first electrode plate 1 and the second electrode plate 2. The surface S11 of the first current collector 11 has a part which is not provided with the first active material layer 12 thereon and this part is defined as a first surface uncoated region B11; the surface S21 of the second current collector 21 has a part which is not provided with the second active material layer 22 thereon and this part is defined as a second surface uncoated region B21; the first electrode tab 3 is provided on the first surface uncoated region B11 and the second electrode tab 4 is provided on the second surface uncoated region B21; the first electrode tab 3 extends toward two opposite transverse edges TE11 of the first surface uncoated region B11 along a width direction W and one side edge 31 positioned outside in the width direction W is close to one corresponding transverse edge TE11 of the first surface uncoated region B11, and the first electrode tab 3 extends toward two opposite longitudinal edges LE11 of the first surface uncoated region B11 along a length direction L and two outer side edges 32 in the length direction L are close to the two longitudinal edges LE11 of the first surface uncoated region B11, respectively; and/or the second electrode tab 4 extends toward two opposite transverse edges TE21 of the second surface uncoated region B21 along the width direction W and one side edge 41 positioned outside in the width direction W is close to one corresponding transverse edge TE21 of the second surface uncoated region B21, and the second electrode tab 4 extends toward two opposite longitudinal edges LE21 of the second surface uncoated region B21 along the length direction L and two outer side edges 42 in the length direction L are close to the two longitudinal edges LE21 of the second surface uncoated region B21, respectively; the first electrode tab 3 and the second electrode tab 4 are spaced apart from each other in the width direction W, and the separator 5 is presented between the first electrode tab 3 and the second electrode tab 4. When the cell is subjected to a mechanical shock, the first electrode tab 3 and the second electrode tab 4 are deformed to puncture the separator 5 between the first electrode tab 3 and the second electrode tab 4 such that the first current collector 11 and the second current collector 21 are electrically connected. Here, it should be noted that, the use of a term of “and/or” represents a mutual relationship between that the first electrode tab 3 is provided on the first surface uncoated region B11 (that is the first current collector 11) and that the second electrode tab 4 is provided on the second surface uncoated region B21 (that is the second current collector 21). Specifically, because the first electrode tab 3 and the first current collector 11 can be integrally formed or separately formed and the second electrode tab 4 and the second current collector 21 can be integrally formed or separately formed, when the first electrode tab 3 and the first current collector 11 are integrally formed, the second electrode tab 4 and the second current collector 21 must be separately formed; when the second electrode tab 4 and the second current collector 21 are integrally formed, the first electrode tab 3 and the first current collector 11 must be separately formed; when the first electrode tab 3 and the first current collector 11 are separately formed, the second electrode tab 4 and the second current collector 21 may be separately formed. However, that the first electrode tab 3 and the first current collector 11 are integrally formed and that the second electrode tab 4 and the second current collector 21 are integrally formed can not exist at the same time.
Here, it should be noted that, that the first active material layer 12 is selectively provided on the surface S11 of the first current collector 11 refers to that one surface S11 of the first current collector 11 is entirely provided with the first active material layer 12, or one surface S11 of the first current collector 11 is partly provided with the first active material layer 12. Similarly, that the second active material layer 22 is selectively provided on the surface S21 of the second current collector 21 refers to that one surface S21 of the second current collector 21 is entirely provided with the second active material layer 22 or one surface S21 of the second current collector 21 is partly provided with the second active material layer 22. Of course, as long as the surface S11 of the first current collector 11 has a part which is not provided with the first active material layer 12 thereon and the surface S21 of the second current collector 21 has a part which is not provided with the second active material layer 22 thereon and these two parts are adjacent and opposite.
Here, it should be noted that, that the first current collector 11 and the second current collector 21 are electrically connected may be that the first surface uncoated region B11 of the first current collector 11 on which the first electrode tab 3 is provided is in direct contact with the second surface uncoated region B21 of the second current collector 21 on which the second electrode tab 4 is provided, may also be that the first electrode tab 3 is in direct contact with the second surface uncoated region B21 of the second current collector 21 on which the second electrode tab 4 is provided, may also be that the first surface uncoated region B11 of the first current collector 11 on which the first electrode tab 3 is provided is in direct contact with the second electrode tab 4, may also be that the first electrode tab 3 is in contact with the second electrode tab 4.
