电化学装置及包含该电化学装置的电子装置 技术领域
本申请涉及电化学领域,具体涉及一种电化学装置及包含该电化学装置的电子装置。
背景技术
锂离子电池在用电器中使用,由于用电器中可容纳锂离子电池的余量空间越来越小,用电器后盖紧贴锂离子电池的外壁,锂离子电池稍有鼓胀变形,用电器后盖便无法合上,继而无法正常使用。另外,以铝塑膜为包装壳的锂离子电池经不起其内部产生强大气压,锂离子电池的膨胀变形将导致漏液风险加大。因此,膨胀现象成为影响锂离子电池合格率和使用安全性能的重要因素。
为了克服该问题,现有的锂离子电池通常使用具有相对较大尺寸的包装壳以适应电极组件的膨胀,这种死体积(为容纳膨胀所预留的体积)通常为锂离子电池总体积的约15%至约20%,这种死体积的存在会降低锂离子电池的体积能量密度。
发明内容
本申请提供了一种电化学装置及包含该电化学装置的电子装置,以改善电化学装置的能量密度。
本申请第一方面提供了一种电化学装置,其包括包装壳;隔板,该隔板包括封装部和主体部,封装部与包装壳连接并将包装壳在隔板的两侧分别限定出第一腔体和第二腔体;隔板的拉伸率δ≥10%;第一电极组件和第二电极组件,该第一电极组件设置在第一腔体中,该第二电极组件设置在第二腔体中。
本申请实施例的电化学装置,通过使用拉伸率δ≥10%的隔板,使得该电化学装置在循环过程中,在面对第一电极组件和第二电极组件出现差异膨胀的情况下,由于隔板的延展性,膨胀率较大的第一电极组件能够向膨胀率较小的第二电极组件的一侧进行挤压,占用原本用于容纳膨胀率较小的第二电极组件的腔体空间。因此,一方面,包装壳的腔体空间可以被膨胀后的电极组件灵活使用,而不过分增加整个电化学装置的体积,使得电化学装置的能量密度得以改善。另一方面,由于隔板的延展性,电极组件的膨胀不会对隔板与包装壳的密封连接产生不利影响,保证密封的可靠性,提高了电化学装置 的安全性能。此外,在面临电化学装置跌落时,具有延展性的隔板可以对电极组件产生缓冲作用,防止隔板与包装壳的密封连接会受力破坏,提高了电化学装置的跌落通过率。
在本申请的一些实施例中,主体部设置有预变形结构,该预变形结构包括弧形结构、波浪形结构或凹槽状结构中的至少一种。上述预变形结构的设置,能够增加隔板的拉伸率,有利于膨胀率更大的第一电极组件充分利用包装壳的腔体空间,而无需增加电化学装置的体积,从而提高其能量密度。
在本申请的一些实施例中,电化学装置还包括封装层,封装层设置在隔板表面的边缘处或隔板的整个表面上。由此,隔板能够与第一包装体的封印边和第二包装体的封印边实现密封连接,以使电化学装置整体密封性更好,从而进一步提高电化学装置的封装可靠性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,封装层设置在隔板的封装部。这样,封装部通过封装层与包装壳密封连接,而主体部上因为没有设置封装层而厚度变薄,为电极组件和电解液提供了更多的容纳空间,能够提升电化学装置的能量密度。
在本申请的一些实施例中,隔板的材料包括高分子材料或金属材料中的至少一种,所述高分子材料包括聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯、聚对苯二甲酸丁二醇酯、聚萘二甲酸乙二醇酯、聚醚醚酮、聚酰亚胺、聚酰胺、聚乙二醇、聚酰胺酰亚胺、聚碳酸酯、环状聚烯烃、聚苯硫醚、聚乙酸乙烯酯、聚四氟乙烯,聚亚甲基萘、聚偏二氟乙烯,聚萘二甲酸亚乙酯、聚碳酸亚丙酯、聚(偏二氟乙烯-六氟丙烯)、聚(偏二氟乙烯-共-三氟氯乙烯)、有机硅、维尼纶、聚丙烯、酸酐改性聚丙烯、聚乙烯、乙烯及其共聚物、聚氯乙烯、聚苯乙烯、聚醚腈、聚氨酯、聚苯醚、聚酯、聚砜、非晶态α-烯烃共聚物及其衍生物中的至少一种;所述金属材料包括Ni、Ti、Cu、Ag、Au、Pt、Fe、Co、Cr、W、Mo、Al、Mg、K、Na、Ca、Sr、Ba、Si、Ge、Sb、Pb、In、Zn、不锈钢(SUS)及其合金中的至少一种。上述高分子材料和金属材料制备的隔板不仅具有离子绝缘的特性,可以避免发生电解液高压分解以及电极组件内短路,还具有较好的延展性,能够根据电极组件的膨胀情况而拉伸变形,从而为电极组件灵活使用腔体空间提供了可能,并能够防止隔板与包装壳的密封连接被破坏,提高封装的可靠性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,封装层的材料包括聚丙烯、酸酐改性聚丙烯、聚乙烯、乙烯-醋酸乙烯共聚物、乙烯-丙烯酸乙酯共聚物、乙烯-丙烯酸共聚物、乙烯-乙烯醇共聚 物、聚氯乙烯、聚苯乙烯、聚醚腈、聚氨酯、聚酰胺、聚酯、非晶态α-烯烃共聚物及其衍生物中的至少一种。上述材料容易与包装壳的内表面热封而粘结在一起从而有效地提高隔板与包装壳的密封性,从而提高电化学装置的封装可靠性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,隔板的拉伸率δ满足10%≤δ≤40%,隔板的拉伸率在上述范围内,可以在改善电化学装置的能量密度、安全性的同时,不影响电化学装置的结构稳定性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,隔板的厚度为10μm至100μm。隔板的厚度在上述范围内,能够改善电化学装置的能量密度及安全性能。
在本申请的一些实施例中,隔板的厚度为10μm至30μm,封装层厚度为20μm至40μm。
在本申请的一些实施例中,第一电极组件的膨胀率与第二电极组件的膨胀率的比值为k,1<k≤5。将两个电极组件的膨胀率限制在特定的比例范围内,避免第一电极组件的膨胀率过大,从而导致第一电极组件向第二腔体过分挤压而超出隔板的延展能力,造成隔板的密封连接破坏。
本申请第二方面提供了一种电子装置,其包括本申请第一方面提供的电化学装置。因此,该电子装置具有良好的膨胀性能和能量密度。

具体实施方式
为使本申请的目的、技术方案及优点更加清楚明白,以下参照附图和实施例,对本申请进一步详细说明。显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本申请一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本申请中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员所获得的所有其他技术方案,都属于本申请保护的范围。
需要说明的是,本申请的内容中,以锂离子电池作为电化学装置的例子来解释本申请,但是本申请的电化学装置并不仅限于锂离子电池。具体技术方案如下:
如图1和图2所示,本申请第一方面的实施例提供了一种电化学装置001,其包括包装壳40、隔板20、第一电极组件11和第二电极组件12;隔板20包括封装部21和主体部22,封装部21与包装壳40连接从而将包装壳40在隔板20的两侧分别限定出第一腔体(图中未示出)和第二腔体(图中未示出),第一电极组件11设置在第一腔体中,第二电极组件12设置在第二腔体中。
在本申请的一些实施例中,隔板20的拉伸率δ≥10%;在电化学装置001循环过程中,由于隔板20的延展性,当第一电极组件11的膨胀率大于第二电极组件12的膨胀率时,膨胀率较大的第一电极组件11能够向膨胀率较小的第二电极组件12的一侧进行挤压,占用原本用于容纳膨胀率较小的第二电极组件12的腔体空间,因此,一方面,包装壳40的腔体空间可以被膨胀后的电极组件灵活使用,而不过分增加整个电化学装置001的体积,使得电化学装置001的能量密度得以改善。另一方面,第一电极组件11和/或第二电极组件12的膨胀不会对隔板20与包装壳40的密封连接产生不利影响,保证密封的可靠性,提高了电化学装置001的安全性能。此外,在面临电化学装置001跌落时,具有延展性的隔板20可以对电极组件产生缓冲作用,防止隔板20与包装壳40的密封连接会受力破坏,提高了电化学装置001的跌落通过率。
需要说明的是,考虑到电极组件的膨胀率上限以及跌落测试的模拟场景,本申请对隔板20的拉伸率的上限不做特别限制,只要能够满足隔板20的拉伸率δ≥10%,即可满 足本申请的目的。优选地,所述隔板的的拉伸率δ≤40%,避免因为拉伸率过大,导致在电化学装置使用过程中,电极组件在包装壳内来回晃动而影响结构稳定性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,为实现隔板20的延伸率δ≥10%,隔板20的材料包括高分子材料或金属材料中的至少一种。
在本申请的一些实施例中,隔板20的材料包括高分子材料,高分子材料的密度小,可以降低隔板20的重量,从而提高电化学装置001的能量密度。并且,在机械滥用情况(例如,穿钉、撞击、挤压等)下,高分子材料产生碎屑的概率更小,且对机械破损表面包裹效果更好,可以改善上述机械滥用情况下的安全性能,从而使安全测试通过率得以提高,进一步提高电化学装置001的安全性能。例如,高分子材料可以包括聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(PET)、聚对苯二甲酸丁二醇酯、聚萘二甲酸乙二醇酯、聚醚醚酮、聚酰亚胺、聚酰胺、聚乙二醇、聚酰胺酰亚胺、聚碳酸酯、环状聚烯烃、聚苯硫醚、聚乙酸乙烯酯、聚四氟乙烯,聚亚甲基萘、聚偏二氟乙烯,聚萘二甲酸亚乙酯、聚碳酸亚丙酯、聚(偏二氟乙烯-六氟丙烯)、聚(偏二氟乙烯-共-三氟氯乙烯)、有机硅、维尼纶、聚丙烯(PP)、酸酐改性聚丙烯、聚乙烯、乙烯及其共聚物、聚氯乙烯、聚苯乙烯、聚醚腈、聚氨酯、聚苯醚、聚酯、聚砜、非晶态α-烯烃共聚物及其衍生物等中的至少一种。
在本申请的一些实施例中,隔板20的材料包括金属材料,金属材料的隔离可靠性强,且韧性及致密性好,加工厚度可以做到更薄,能够提高电化学装置001的能量密度。例如,金属材料可以包括Ni、Ti、Cu、Ag、Au、Pt、Fe、Co、Cr、W、Mo、Al、Mg、K、Na、Ca、Sr、Ba、Si、Ge、Sb、Pb、In、Zn、不锈钢(SUS)及其合金等中的至少一种。
在本申请的一些实施例中,隔板20的材料包括高分子材料和金属材料的复合材料。例如,复合材料可以包括Ni金属复合PP、Ag金属复合PET等。
在本申请的一些实施例中,如图2所示,隔板20的结构可以是平板状,上述的高分子材料和金属材料将能够实现隔板20的延展性能。
在本申请的一些实施例中,通过改变隔板20的形状实现隔板20的延展性能。本申请中,隔板20包括封装部21和主体部22,封装部21与包装壳40密封连接,为了保证封装部21与包装壳40的封装可靠性,封装部21需要保持其平整性从而与包装壳40实现紧密连接,主体部22通过设置预变形结构来实现隔板20的延展性能,预变形结构用来为电 极组件的膨胀提供额外的容纳空间,从而防止膨胀的电极组件对封装部21的拉扯而导致密封失效。
如图3至图7所示,在本申请的一些实施例中,预变形结构包括图3示出的弧形结构、图5示出的波浪形结构或图7示出的凹槽状结构等中的至少一种。本领域技术人员可以理解,上述预变形结构也可以包括其他形状,只要利于隔板拉伸率δ的提高,均在本申请保护范围内。上述预变形结构的设置,能够增加隔板20的拉伸率δ,为电极组件的膨胀提供额外的空间,从而有效缓解电化学装置001的膨胀,改善电化学装置001的膨胀性能。
本申请对制备预变形结构的方法没有特别限制,只要能够实现本申请目的即可。例如,在主体部22上通过模具热压制得弧形结构、波浪形结构或凹槽状结构等。
在本申请的一些实施例中,如图8所示,电化学装置001还包括封装层30,封装层30设置在隔板20表面的四周边缘处或隔板20的整个表面上。由此,隔板20能够与第一包装体41的封印边和第二包装体42的封印边实现密封连接,以使电化学装置001整体密封性更好,从而进一步提高电化学装置001的封装可靠性。
在本申请的一些实施例中,封装层30设置在隔板20的封装部21。这样,封装部21通过封装层30分别与上包装体41的封印边和下包装体42的封印边实现密封连接,使电化学装置001整体密封性更好。进一步地,主体部22上无需设置封装层30,因此隔板20的厚度可以设置得更薄,为电极组件提供更多的容纳空间,以使电化学装置001的体积减小,从而提升电化学装置001的能量密度。
在本申请的一些实施例中,封装层30的材料包括聚丙烯、酸酐改性聚丙烯、聚乙烯、乙烯-醋酸乙烯共聚物、乙烯-丙烯酸乙酯共聚物、乙烯-丙烯酸共聚物、乙烯-乙烯醇共聚物、聚氯乙烯、聚苯乙烯、聚醚腈、聚氨酯、聚酰胺、聚酯、非晶态α-烯烃共聚物及其衍生物中的至少一种。上述材料容易与包装壳40如铝塑膜的内表面热封而粘结在一起从而有效地提高隔板20与包装壳40的密封性,从而提高电化学装置001的封装可靠性。需要说明的是,本申请对封装温度、封装时间和封装压力没有特别限制,只要能够实现本申请目的即可。例如,封装材料为聚丙烯,封装温度为180℃至195℃,封装时间为2s至4s,封装压力为0.2MPa至0.5MPa。
在本申请的一些实施例中,隔板20的厚度至少为10μm,优选为10μm至30μm,在 一些实施例中,隔板20的厚度优选为30μm至60μm。在一些实施例中,隔板20的厚度可以包括以下数值中的任一个:10μm、20μm、30μm、40μm50μm、60μm、70μm、80μm、90μm或100μm等;当隔板20的厚度太薄(例如小于10μm)时,会影响隔板20对电解液的阻隔性,隔板20两侧的第一腔体和第二腔体中的电解液容易渗透隔板20,从而影响电化学装置001的电化学性能;当隔板20的厚度太厚(例如大于100μm)时,使得电化学装置001体积增大,从而降低电化学装置001的能量密度。
在本申请的一些实施例中,封装层30的厚度为20μm至40μm。例如,封装层30的厚度的下限值可以包括以下数值中的任一个:20μm、25μm或30μm等;封装层30的厚度的上限值可以包括以下数值中的任一个:32μm、36μm或40μm等。当封装层30的厚度太薄(例如小于20μm)时,会影响隔板20与包装壳40之间的密封效果,从而影响电化学装置001的封装可靠性;当封装层30的厚度太厚(例如大于40μm)时,电化学装置001的封印边过厚,不利于封印边的折边处理,从而影响电化学装置001的封装可靠性,并且,封印边过厚,使电化学装置001的体积增大,会造成电化学装置001的能量密度的下降。
应当理解的是,本申请中封装层的厚度指的是位于隔板一侧表面的封装层的厚度。隔板的厚度是指隔板呈平板状时的厚度。对于设置预变形结构的隔板,隔板的厚度是指在设置预变形结构前,隔板呈平板状时的厚度。
在本申请的一些实施例中,第一电极组件11的膨胀率与第二电极组件12的膨胀率的比值为k,1<k≤5。在电化学装置001充放电过程中,由于电极极片反弹或释放气体等原因造成第一电极组件11和第二电极组件12发生不同程度的膨胀,且第二电极组件12的膨胀率小于第一电极组件11的膨胀率,膨胀率较大的第一电极组件11能够向膨胀率较小的第二电极组件12的一侧进行挤压,占用原本用于容纳膨胀率较小的第二电极组件12的腔体空间,从而能够防止电化学装置001整体膨胀率的增大,有效改善电化学装置001的膨胀性能。这样,也能够避免电化学装置001的体积增大,继而改善电化学装置001的能量密度。
本申请对第一电极组件11和第二电极组件12各自的膨胀率没有特别限制,只要小于10%,能够实现本申请目的即可。例如,第一电极组件11的膨胀率可以为5%至10%,第二电极组件12的膨胀率可以为1%至5%。膨胀率大于10%时,膨胀后的电极组件将超出隔板与包装壳的封装强度,导致隔板与包装壳的密封性被破坏,对电化学装置的安全性 带来不良影响。
在本申请中,对电极组件的结构没有特别限制,只要能够实现本申请目的即可。例如,电极组件的结构可以包括卷绕结构或叠片结构中的至少一种。
本申请的电化学装置001还可以包括发生电化学反应的其他装置,例如锂金属二次电池、锂聚合物二次电池或锂离子聚合物二次电池等。
本申请对电化学装置001的制备过程没有特别限制,只要能够实现本申请目的即可。例如,电化学装置001可以通过以下过程制备:将正极极片和负极极片经由隔膜重叠,并根据需要将其卷绕或折叠等操作后放入包装壳40内,将电解液注入包装壳40内并封口。此外,也可以根据需要将防过电流元件、导板等置于壳体中,从而防止电化学装置001内部的压力上升、过充放电。
本申请的第二方面提供了一种电子装置,包含本申请第一方面所提供的电化学装置001。该电子装置具有良好的能量密度和安全性能。
本申请的电子装置没有特别限制,其可以包括但不限于:笔记本电脑、笔输入型计算机、移动电脑、电子书播放器、便携式电话、便携式传真机、便携式复印机、便携式打印机、头戴式立体声耳机、录像机、液晶电视、手提式清洁器、便携CD机、迷你光盘、收发机、电子记事本、计算器、存储卡、便携式录音机、收音机、备用电源、电机、汽车、摩托车、助力自行车、自行车、照明器具、玩具、游戏机、钟表、电动工具、闪光灯、照相机、家庭用大型蓄电池和锂离子电容器等。
本申请中所用的术语一般为本领域技术人员常用的术语,如果与常用术语不一致,以本申请中的术语为准。
以下,举出实施例及对比例来对本申请的实施方式进行更具体地说明。各种的试验及评价按照下述的方法进行。另外,只要无特别说明,“份”、“%”为质量基准。
测试方法和设备:
拉伸率δ的测试:
打开高铁拉力机电源,确认拉力机上下夹具在水平位置、拉力杆能够正常上下、拉力机的速度控制为50mm/min;采用切刀机裁切宽度15mm、长度100mm的样品,每一隔板种类的样品准备至少2个平行样,调整上下两固定夹在同一垂直面对齐;打开上固定 夹,将样品一端夹在上固定夹,样品另一端夹在下固定夹,确定样品装上固定夹后不能打滑,且样品放正后固定;点击清零和运行按钮开始测试,最终拉力判定结果如下:拉力测试完毕,机台会自动停止,拉力机输出力、位移和时间;
拉伸率计算:拉伸率δ=ΔL/L×100%,ΔL为拉力机上输出的位移与原标距长度之差,L为原标距长度。
隔板厚度的测试:
采用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)截面测试各层厚度,取隔板材料样品中央部位裁切出长方体形状,将样品放置离子抛光机进行抛光处理,抛光完成后放置SEM下方观察,可观察得到隔板的厚度。
膨胀率的测试:
将SOC=50%的锂离子电池在电池测厚机(型号PPG650gf,深圳奥拓美)下测量厚度,记为T1;然后,将电池以0.5C充电至4.35V,并以0.5C电流放电至3.0V,以此为一个充放电循环(Cycle),每50Cycle测一次电池厚度,直至电池/测试到500cycle,记录最终的电池厚度为T500。
膨胀率=(T500-T1)/T1×100%。
能量密度计算:
将锂离子电池在25℃下充电至4.45V后,用激光测厚仪测试锂离子电池的长、宽、高,得到锂离子电池的体积(V),再采用0.2C放电至3V,得到锂离子电池放电容量(C)和平均电压平台(U),其体积能量密度(ED)可通过如下公式计算得到:ED=C×U/V。

在组装电极组件的两个腔体单独注入电解液,注液后进行封口。
然后,将第二电极组件的负极极耳与第一电极组件的正极极耳通过激光焊焊接在一起,使二者串联。充放电过程只需连接第二电极组件的正极极耳与第一电极组件的负极极耳即可。

从实施例1、实施例2和对比例1可以看出,通过选用拉伸率δ在本申请范围内的隔板,能够有效改善电化学装置的膨胀性能,从而提高了电化学装置的能量密度。
