Description
本申请涉及储能技术领域,具体而言,涉及一种电极组件、电化学装置及用电设备。
随着新能源技术的发展,储能器件的应用越来越广泛,例如可应用在手机、笔记本电脑、电瓶车、电动汽车、电动飞机、电动轮船、电动玩具汽车、电动玩具轮船、电动玩具飞机和电动工具等上。
电化学装置作为储能器件一般通过电极组件和电解液发生电化学反应,从而输出电能。对于电化学装置而言,充电效率和质量能量密度都是重要的性能指标。但是,现有技术中,电化学装置的充电效率和质量能量密度却无法平衡。在追求高充电效率的同时,质量能量密度则设计地较低,反之亦然。因此,如何兼顾快速充电和高质量能量密度,是亟需解决的问题。
发明内容
本申请的目的在于提供一种电极组件、电化学装置及用电设备。该电极组件,既能够满足快速充电需求,还具有较高的质量能量密度。
本申请是通过下述技术方案实现的:
第一方面,本申请实施例提供了一种电极组件,电极组件为叠片式结构,电极组件包括相互堆叠的第一部分和第二部分,第一部分和第二部分均包含堆叠设置的正极极片、隔离膜、负极极片,第一部分和第二部分被配置为可独立充放电,第一部分的质量能量密度大于等于第二部分的质量能量密度,第一部分的充电倍率小于等于第二部分的充电倍率。在上述方案中,电极组件包括相互堆叠的第一部分和第二部分,且第一部分和第二部分包括堆叠设置的正极极片、隔离膜、负极极片,第一部分和第二部分能够相互独立充放电,并且第二部分的充电倍率大于等于第一部分的充电倍率,在用户需要快速充电时,第二部分能够进行快速充电,能够满足用户的临时快速充电需求;同时,第一部分的质量能量密度大于等于第二部分的质量能量密度,可以提高电极组件整体容量,在产品待机、休眠等不需要快充时,可对第一部分进行充电,以提前储备能量,同时减少对第二部分进行频繁快充导致其循环寿命下降。该电极组件,既能够满足快速充电需求,还具有较高的质量能量密度。
根据本申请的一些实施例,第一部分的质量能量密度与第二部分的质量能量密度的比值为1.1~2.2;第一部分的充电倍率与第二部分的充电倍率比值为0.2~0.8。如果第一部分和第二部分间的质量能量密度以及充电倍率差距过小,如第一部分的质量能 量密度与第二部分的质量能量密度的比值小于1.1,第一部分的充电倍率与第二部分的充电倍率比值为大于0.8,虽然从技术上能够实现上述灵活满足不同使用需求的技术效果,但是由于第一部分和第二部分间的质量能量密度以及充电倍率差距过小,使得第一部分和第二部分的能量密度和充电能力差距过小,上述技术效果与分别制备不同性能的极片带来的备料成本增加以及将不同性能的极片组装为第一部分和第二部分造成生产成本增加相比不明显,即投入产出比较低;如果第一部分和第二部分间的质量能量密度以及充电倍率差距过大,如第一部分的质量能量密度与第二部分的质量能量密度的比值大于2.2,第一部分的充电倍率与第二部分的充电倍率比值为小于0.2,虽然能够实现上述灵活满足不同使用需求的基础技术效果,但是在同时对第一部分和第二部分充电时,第二部分的发热将远大于第一部分的发热,容易在电化学装置内部造成明显的温度分布不均,影响电化学装置内部不同电解液的性能,导致副反应发生,恶化电化学装置寿命。
优选地,第一部分的质量能量密度与第二部分的质量能量密度的比值为1.3~1.8;第一部分的充电倍率与第二部分的充电倍率比值为0.4~0.7,如此容易通过同类正极或负极材料,仅通过压实程度等调整即制备处满足上述第一部分和第二部分能量密度和充电倍率差异地极片,能极大降低备料成本,同时能兼顾同时对第一部分和第二部分充电时电化学装置内部局部温度地差异,可以更好地进行电化学装置温度管理。
根据本申请的一些实施例,第一部分的正极极片的活性物质的涂布重量大于等于第二部分的正极极片的活性物质的涂布重量,第一部分的正极极片的活性物质的压实密度大于等于第二部分的正极极片的活性物质的压实密度;第一部分的负极极片的活性物质的涂布重量大于等于第二部分的负极极片的活性物质的涂布重量,第一部分的负极极片的活性物质的压实密度大于等于第二部分的负极极片的活性物质的压实密度。在上述方案中,第一部分的正极极片的活性物质的涂布重量(单面的涂布重量)以及压实密度均大于等于第二部分的正极极片的活性物质的涂布重量和压实密度,使得第一部分的正极极片具有较多的活性物质容量,同理,第一部分的负极极片的活性物质的涂布重量以及压实密度均大于等于第二部分的负极极片的活性物质的涂布重量和压实密度,使得第一部分的负极极片具有较多的活性物质容量,从而使得第一部分的质量能量密度大于等于第二部分的质量能量密度,进而使得电极组件整体具有较高的质量能量密度,满足使用需求。
根据本申请的一些实施例,第一部分和第二部分之间设置有中间部件。在上述方案中,第一部分和第二部分通过中间部件连接,以实现第一部分和第二部分的装配。
根据本申请的一些实施例,中间部件为两面均设置有活性物质的双面极片。在上述方案中,中间部件为双面极片,中间部件能够分别与第一部分和第二部分配合使用,电极组件具有较多的活性物质容量,以提高电极组件整体容量。
根据本申请的一些实施例,双面极片面向所述第一部分一侧的活性物质的涂布重量大于等于面向第二部分一侧的活性物质的涂布重量,双面极片面向所述第一部分 一侧的活性物质的压实密度大于等于面向所述第二部分一侧的活性物质的压实密度。在上述方案中,双面极片面向第一部分一侧的活性物质的涂布重量和压实密度均大于等于双面极片面向第二部分一侧的活性物质的涂布重量和压实密度,使得双面极片面向第一部分一侧的涂布重量和压实密度能够匹配第一部分的极片的涂布重量和压实密度,双面极片面向第二部分一侧的涂布重量和压实密度能够匹配第二部分的极片的涂布重量和压实密度,使得双面极片与第一部分和第二部分形成较佳的配合。
根据本申请的一些实施例,中间部件为隔离膜。在上述方案中,隔离膜作为中间部件,可以保证电极组件结构紧凑,相对于双面极片作为中间部件,可以减少单独制备双面极片的工序,减少备料和组装成本。
根据本申请的一些实施例,当中间部件为隔离膜时,第一部分中最靠近中间部件的极片为第一极片,第二部分中最靠近中间部件的极片为第二极片,第一极片和第二极片在各自的集流体两面都设置有活性物质,且第一极片和第二极片的极性相反。在上述方案中,可以通过叠片电池中最常规的正极、隔离膜、负极依次堆叠的方式生产所述电极组件,且当同时对第一部分和第二部分充电时,第一极片和第二极片上的所有活性物质均可参与离子脱嵌,可以提高质量能量密度,达到中间部件为前述双面极片一样的提升电极组件总体容量和质量能量密度的效果。
根据本申请的一些实施例,当中间部件为隔离膜时,且第一极片和第二极片为极性相反的双面极片时,优选第一极片为负极极性,第二极片为正极极性。如此,当同时对第一部分和第二部分充电时,涂布重量更大的第一极片为负极,可以充分嵌入第二极片的锂离子而不会发生析锂。而如果第一极片为正极,第二极片为负极,由于第一极片的涂布重量更大,同时对第一部分和第二部分充电时,有可能出现第一极片脱出的锂离子过多,第二极片无法充分嵌入,导致析锂风险的情况发生,此种情况仍然能解决本申请基础的技术问题,但是对循环性能有一定的损失。
值得注意的是,在本申请的其它的一些实施例中,当中间部件为隔离膜时,第一极片和/或第二极片也可设置为单面极片,即第一极片和第二极片中至少之一靠近中间部件的一侧的集流体上未涂覆活性物质,第一极片和第二极片的极性可以相同,也可以不同。同时由于作为中间部件的隔离膜与空白的集流体的粘结效果不佳,因此,可以在呈单面极片状态的第一极片和/或第二极片与隔离膜之间设置绝缘层或粘结材料以提高第一极片和/或第二极片与隔离膜的粘结效果,提高电极组件整体的粘结稳固性,同时能够增加第一极片与第二极片的绝缘效果,还能够降低电极组件的正极极片和负极极片接触短路的风险。
同时本申请的另一些实施例中,中间部件还可以为热熔胶,在上述方案中,绝缘材料为热熔胶,既具有绝缘效果,还能够增强第一部分与第二部分的连接稳定性,降低第一部分相对于第二部分产生位置移动的风险。
根据本申请的一些实施例,第一部分的正极极片包括第一正极极耳,第一部分的负极极片包括第一负极极耳,第二部分的正极极片包括第二正极极耳,第二部分的负极极片包括第二负极极耳;电极组件满足:沿所述极片层叠方向,第一正极极耳的投影与第二正极极耳的投影不重叠,第一负极极耳的投影与第二负极极耳的投影重 叠。或,沿极片层叠方向,第一正极极耳的投影与第二正极极耳的投影重叠,第一负极极耳的投影与第二负极极耳的投影不重叠。或,沿极片层叠方向,第一正极极耳的投影与第二正极极耳的投影不重叠,第一负极极耳的投影与第二负极极耳的投影不重叠。在上述方案中,电极组件的极耳可以根据不同的需求设置在不同的位置,同时,当第一部分和第二部分同极性极耳重叠时,第一部分和第二部分可以共用极耳,以减少电极输出部件,节省制造成本;第一部分和第二部分的极耳也可以均不重叠以满足通过电路控制在电极组件内部实现第一部分和第二部分按需串联或并联的情况,以适应用电设备复杂的用电需求,例如当用电设备需要大电流时,可以将第一部分和第二部分进行并联(第一部分和第二部分有共用极耳时也可以实现二者并联输出大电流),当用电设备需要高电压时,可以将第一部分和第二部分串联。
第二方面,本申请实施例还提供了一种电化学装置,包括第一方面实施例提供的电极组件、收容件和电解液,电极组件和电解液均容置于收容件中。在上述方案中,直接将本申请的电极组件和电解液容置在同一个收容件中,可以在一个电化学装置的一个收容件中实现不同的充电倍率和质量能量密度的性能表达,相较于采用不同的电化学装置进行串并联后再进行包装以实现上述不同的充电倍率和质量能量密度的性能表达目的的传统方式,本申请的方案可以节约工序和成本。
根据本申请的一些实施例,第一部分的正极极片包括第一正极极耳,第一部分的负极极片包括第一负极极耳,第二部分的正极极片包括第二正极极耳,第二部分的负极极片包括第二负极极耳。
电化学装置满足:沿极片层叠方向,第一正极极耳的投影与第二正极极耳的投影不重叠,第一负极极耳的投影与第二负极极耳的投影重叠,第一正极极耳焊接于第一正极端子,第二正极极耳焊接于第二正极端子,第一负极极耳和第二负极极耳焊接于负极端子,第一正极端子、第二正极端子、负极端子伸出收容件。或,沿层叠方向,第一正极极耳的投影与第二正极极耳的投影重叠,第一负极极耳的投影与第二负极极耳的投影不重叠,第一负极极耳焊接于第一负极端子,第二负极极耳焊接于第二负极端子,第一正极极耳和第二正极极耳焊接于正极端子,第一负极端子、第二负极端子、正极端子伸出收容件。或,沿极片层叠方向,第一正极极耳的投影与第二正极极耳的投影不重叠,第一负极极耳的投影与第二负极极耳的投影不重叠,第一正极极耳焊接于第三正极端子,第二正极极耳焊接于第四正极端子,第一负极极耳焊接于第三负极端子,第二负极极耳焊接于第四负极端子,第三正极端子、第四正极端子、第三负极端子、第四负极端子伸出收容件。在上述方案中,可以实现在通过一个电化学装置中按需实现串联和/或并联,极大的扩展了电化学装置的适用场景。

下面将结合附图对本申请技术方案的实施例进行详细的描述。以下实施例仅用于更加清楚地说明本申请的技术方案,因此只作为示例,而不能以此来限制本申请的保护范围。
除非另有定义,本文所使用的所有的技术和科学术语与属于本申请的技术领域的技术人员通常理解的含义相同;本文中所使用的术语只是为了描述具体的实施例的 目的,不是旨在于限制本申请;本申请的说明书和权利要求书及上述附图说明中的术语“包括”和“具有”以及它们的任何变形,意图在于覆盖不排他的包含。
在本申请实施例的描述中,技术术语“第一”“第二”等仅用于区别不同对象,而不能理解为指示或暗示相对重要性或者隐含指明所指示的技术特征的数量、特定顺序或主次关系。
在本文中提及“实施例”意味着,结合实施例描述的特定特征、结构或特性可以包含在本申请的至少一个实施例中。在说明书中的各个位置出现该短语并不一定均是指相同的实施例,也不是与其它实施例互斥的独立的或备选的实施例。本领域技术人员显式地和隐式地理解的是,本文所描述的实施例可以与其它实施例相结合。
在本申请实施例的描述中,术语“多个”指的是两个以上(包括两个),同理,“多组”指的是两组以上(包括两组),“多片”指的是两片以上(包括两片),除非另有明确具体的限定。
在本申请实施例的描述中,除非另有明确的规定和限定,技术术语“安装”“相连”“连接”“固定”等术语应做广义理解,例如,可以是固定连接,也可以是可拆卸连接,或成一体;也可以是机械连接,也可以是电连接;可以是直接相连,也可以通过中间媒介间接相连,可以是两个元件内部的连通或两个元件的相互作用关系。对于本领域的普通技术人员而言,可以根据具体情况理解上述术语在本申请实施例中的具体含义。
质量能量密度和充电倍率均为电化学装置的关键性能指标。现有技术中,电化学装置的极片是按照满足特定的充电能力要求进行设计的,各极片的活性物质的涂布重量和压实密度是同一水平,即,电化学装置中所有极片的充电能力是一样的。充电效率高的电化学装置,其采用的极片的厚度较薄,极片的活性物质的压实密度和涂布重量较低,电化学装置的质量能量密度较低。质量能量密度高的电化学装置,其采用的极片的厚度较厚,电化学装置的充电效率降低。也即,无法同时兼顾高质量能量密度和快速充电的需求。
鉴于此,为了同时兼顾电化学装置的高质量能量密度和快速充电的需求,本申请提供了一种电极组件,该电极组件包括两部分,一部分的质量能量密度较高、充电倍率较低,另一部分充电倍率较高、质量能量密度较底。当电化学装置急需充电时,可以单独给充电倍率高的部分充电;当电化学装置不急需充电时,可以单独给质量能量密度高的部分充电,或者同时给两部分充电。因此,该电极组件能够同时兼顾较高的质量能量密度和快速充电的需求,同时可以根据用户实际使用用电设备情况灵活调用不同部分的电极组件,提高电极组件的循环寿命。

请参见图3,图3示出了本申请一些实施例提供的电极组件10的示意图。本申请实施例提供了一种电极组件10。电极组件10为叠片式结构,电极组件10包括相互堆叠的第一部分11和第二部分12,第一部分11和第二部分12被配置为可独立充放电,第一部分11的质量能量密度大于等于第二部分12的质量能量密度,第一部分11的充电倍率小于等于第二部分12的充电倍率。值得注意的是,图3中的包围第一部分和第二部分的虚线框仅仅是为了在附图上更好的区分两部分以方便标识,并不表明第一部分11和第二部分12被分别封装,实际生产中,第一部分11和第二部分12属于同一个电极组件10,被整体封装在一个收容件20中,且收容件20中注入电解液,图6、图7同理。
第一部分11第二部分12电极组件10电极组件10质量能量密度的测试方法为:在制备电化学装置的过程中,可以先测出第一部分11的重量W1和第二部分12的重量W2,将电极组件10组装为电化学装置后,分别对第一部分11和第二部分12进行充放电,得到第一部分11的能量C1和第二部分12的能量C2,通过C1/W1和C2/W2计算出第一部分11和第二部分12的质量能量密度。
充电倍率是充电快慢的一种量度,是指电化学装置在规定的时间内充电至其额定容量时所需要的电流值,它在数值上等于电化学装置额定容量的倍数,即“充电电流/额定容量=充电倍率”。测试电极组件10第一部分11和第二部分12的充电倍率采用如下方式:首先,以100~1000mA的恒定电流分别对第一部分11和第二部分12充电至一定的电压,然后再恒压充电至电流充电为20~200mA,其中,充电截止电压可以设置一定的电压梯度,如3.5~4.6V之间,每20mV~50mV设置1个梯度,对上述按照不同电压梯度充完电的电化学装置进行拆解,第一部分11和第二部分12的负极界面金黄且无析锂现象的最高的电压梯U1和U2分别为二者的满充电压,U1和U2对应的充电的容量作为第一部分11和第二部分12的额定容量C1和C2。然后设置一定的充电电流梯度,如按照0.5C1~10C1和0.5C2~10C2分别对两部分充电,每0.5C~1C设置1个梯度,对第一部分11和第二部分12分别按照不同电流梯度恒流充电至满充电压U1和U2,然后再恒压充电至电流降低至0.01C1~0.1C1/0.01C2~0.1C2(常用的截止电流值,有0.02、0.025或0.05倍的额定容量),充电完成后对电化学装置进行拆解,第一部分11和第二部分12的负极界面金黄且无析锂现象的最高的电流梯度,或额定容量的倍数X1和X2分别作为第一部分11和第二部分12的充电倍率。
根据本申请实施例的电极组件10,电极组件10包括相互堆叠的第一部分11和第二部分12,且第一部分11和第二部分12包括堆叠设置的正极极片、隔离膜、负极极片,第一部分11和第二部分12能够相互独立充放电,并且第二部分12的充电倍率大于等于第一部分11的充电倍率,在用户需要快速充电时,第二部分12能够进行快速充电,能够满足用户的临时快速充电需求;同时,第一部分11的质量能量密度大于等于第二部分12的质量能量密度,可以提高电极组件10整体容量,在产品待机、休眠等不需要快充时,可对第一部分11进行充电,以提前储备能量,同时减少对第二部 分12进行频繁快充导致其循环寿命下降。该电极组件10,既能够满足快速充电需求,还具有较高的质量能量密度。
根据本申请的一些实施例,第一部分11的质量能量密度与第二部分12的质量能量密度的比值为1.1~2.2;第一部分11的充电倍率与第二部分12的充电倍率比值为0.2~0.8。如果第一部分11和第二部分12间的质量能量密度以及充电倍率差距过小,如第一部分11的质量能量密度与第二部分12的质量能量密度的比值小于1.1,第一部分11的充电倍率与第二部分12的充电倍率比值为大于0.8,虽然从技术上能够实现上述灵活满足不同使用需求的技术效果,但是由于第一部分11和第二部分12间的质量能量密度以及充电倍率差距过小,使得第一部分11和第二部分12的能量密度和充电能力差距过小,上述技术效果与分别制备不同性能的极片带来的备料成本增加以及将不同性能的极片组装为第一部分11和第二部分12造成生产成本增加相比不明显,即投入产出比较低;如果第一部分11和第二部分12间的质量能量密度以及充电倍率差距过大,如第一部分11的质量能量密度与第二部分12的质量能量密度的比值大于2.2,第一部分11的充电倍率与第二部分12的充电倍率比值为小于0.2,虽然能够实现上述灵活满足不同使用需求的基础技术效果,但是在同时对第一部分11和第二部分12充电时,第二部分12的发热将远大于第一部分11的发热,容易在电化学装置1内部造成明显的温度分布不均,影响电化学装置1内部不同电解液的性能,导致副反应发生,恶化电化学装置1寿命。
可选地,第一部分11的质量能量密度与第二部分12的质量能量密度的比值可以为1.1、1.2、1.3、1.4、1.5、1.6、1.7、1.8、1.9、2、2.1、2.2等;第一部分11的充电倍率与第二部分12的充电倍率比值可以为0.2、0.3、0.4、0.5、0.6、0.7、0.8等。
优选地,第一部分11的质量能量密度与第二部分12的质量能量密度的比值为1.3~1.8;第一部分11的充电倍率与第二部分12的充电倍率比值为0.4~0.7,如此容易通过同类正极或负极材料,仅通过压实程度等调整即制备处满足上述第一部分11和第二部分12能量密度和充电倍率差异地极片,能极大降低备料成本,同时能兼顾同时对第一部分11和第二部分12充电时电化学装置1内部局部温度地差异,可以更好地进行电化学装置1温度管理。
第一部分11和第二部分12各包括至少一个极片101。可选地,第一部分11和第二部分12各包括多个极片101,该多个极片101包括正极极片和负极极片,正极极片和负极极片层叠设置,金属离子在正极极片和负极极片之间移动,正极极片和负极极片之间设有隔离膜。
请参见图4和图5,图4为本申请一些实施例提供的极片101的示意图,图5为本申请另一些实施例提供的极片101的示意图。极片101包括集流体1011和涂布于集流体1011的表面的活性物质层1012,活性物质层1012位于集流体1011的厚度方向的一面或者相对的两面。如图4所示,当活性物质层1012位于集流体1011的厚度方向的一面时,该极片101为单面极片;如图5所示,当活性物质层1012位于集流体1011的厚度方向的相对的两面时,该极片101为双面极片。
正极极片包括正极集流体和正极活性物质层,正极活性物质层涂布于正极集流 体的表面,未涂布正极活性物质层的集流体凸出于已涂布正极活性物质层的集流体作为正极极耳。以锂离子电池为例,正极集流体的材料可以为铝,正极活性物质可以为钴酸锂、磷酸铁锂、三元锂或锰酸锂等。负极极片包括负极集流体和负极活性物质层,负极活性物质层涂布于负极集流体的表面,未涂布负极活性物质层的集流体凸出于已涂布负极活性物质层的集流体作为负极极耳。负极集流体的材料可以为铜,负极活性物质可以为碳或硅等。为了保证通过大电流而不发生熔断,正极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起,负极极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起。隔离膜的材质可以为PP或PE等。
根据本申请的一些实施例,第一部分11的正极极片的活性物质的涂布重量大于等于第二部分12的正极极片的活性物质的涂布重量,第一部分11的正极极片的活性物质的压实密度大于等于第二部分12的正极极片的活性物质的压实密度;第一部分11的负极极片的活性物质的涂布重量大于等于第二部分12的负极极片的活性物质的涂布重量,第一部分11的负极极片的活性物质的压实密度大于等于第二部分12的负极极片的活性物质的压实密度。如此,可以实现第一部分11和第二部分12的质量能量密度和充电倍率的差异化。第一部分11的正极极片的活性物质的材料可以与第二部分12的正极极片的活性物质的材料相同。第一部分11的负极极片的活性物质的材料可以与第二部分12的负极极片的活性物质的材料。即第一部分11和第二部分12可以采用相同种类的正负极活性物质,通过控制不同部分极片的压实密度和涂布重量实现第一部分11和第二部分12的质量能量密度和充电倍率不同。当然本领域技术人员也可以通过调整活性材料的种类结合极片制备工艺等方式结合的方式实现第一部分11和第二部分12的质量能量密度和充电倍率的差异化。需要指出的是,上述的活性物质的涂布重量是指集流体的一面的活性物质的涂布重量。
在上述方案中,第一部分11的正极极片的活性物质的涂布重量以及压实密度均大于等于第二部分12的正极极片的活性物质的涂布重量和压实密度,使得第一部分11的正极极片具有较多的活性物质容量,同理,第一部分11的负极极片的活性物质的涂布重量以及压实密度均大于等于第二部分12的负极极片的活性物质的涂布重量和压实密度,使得第一部分11的负极极片具有较多的活性物质容量,从而使得第一部分11的质量能量密度大于等于第二部分12的质量能量密度,进而使得电极组件10整体具有较高的质量能量密度,满足使用需求。
请参见图6和图7,图6为本申请一些实施例提供的电极组件10的中间部件13的示意图,图7为本申请另一些实施例提供的电极组件10的中间部件13的示意图。根据本申请的一些实施例,第一部分11和第二部分12之间设置有中间部件13。
中间部件13为设置于第一部分11和第二部分12之间的部件,中间部件13可以连接第一部分11和第二部分12,以实现第一部分11和第二部分12的装配。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图6所示,中间部件13为两面均设置有活性物质的双面极片。双面极片是指集流体的厚度方向的两面均设置有活性物质层。双面极片可以为正极极片,或者,也可以为负极极片,相应的,本领域公知,与该双面极片相对应的第一部分11和第二部分12的极片的极性应该与双面极片的极性相反。
在上述方案中,中间部件13为双面极片,中间部件13能够分别与第一部分11和第二部分12配合使用,电极组件10具有较多的活性物质容量,以提高电极组件10整体容量。
根据本申请的一些实施例,双面极片面向第一部分11一侧的活性物质的涂布重量大于等于面向第二部分12一侧的活性物质的涂布重量,双面极片面向第一部分11一侧的活性物质的压实密度大于等于面向第二部分12一侧的活性物质的压实密度。
在上述方案中,双面极片面向第一部分11一侧的活性物质的涂布重量和压实密度均大于等于双面极片面向第二部分12一侧的活性物质的涂布重量和压实密度,使得双面极片面向第一部分11一侧的涂布重量和压实密度能够匹配第一部分11的极片的涂布重量和压实密度,双面极片面向第二部分12一侧的涂布重量和压实密度能够匹配第二部分12的极片的涂布重量和压实密度,使得双面极片与第一部分11和第二部分12形成较佳的配合,防止析锂或者容量浪费。
根据本申请的一些实施例,如图7所示,中间部件13为隔离膜。在上述方案中,采用隔离膜替代双面极片作为中间部件13,可以保证电极组件10结构紧凑,还可以减少单独制备双面极片的工序,减少备料和组装成本。
同时,当中间部件13为隔离膜时,第一部分11中最靠近中间部件13的极片为第一极片111,第二部分12中最靠近中间部件13的极片为第二极片121,第一极片111和第二极片121均为在集流体两面都设置有活性物质的双面极片,第一极片111和第二极片121的极性相反。上述方案中,可以通过叠片电池中最常规的正极、隔离膜、负极依次堆叠的方式生产电极组件10,且当同时对第一部分11和第二部分12充电时,第一极片111和第二极片121上的所有活性物质均可参与离子脱嵌,可以提高质量能量密度,达到中间部件13为前述双面极片一样的提升电极组件10总体容量和质量能量密度的效果。
第一部分11中最靠近中间部件13的极片是指,在第一部分11的多个极片中,相对于其他极片最靠近中间部件13的一个极片,该极片称为第一极片111。第二部分12中最靠近中间部件13的极片是指,在第二部分12的多个极片中,相对于其他极片最靠近中间部件13的一个极片,该极片称为第二极片121。
根据本申请的一些实施例,当中间部件13为隔离膜时,且第一极片111和第二极片121为极性相反的双面极片时,优选第一极片111为负极极性,第二极片121为正极极性。如此,当同时对第一部分11和第二部分12充电时,涂布重量更大的第一极片111为负极,可以充分嵌入第二极片121的锂离子而不会发生析锂。而如果第一极片111为正极,第二极片121为负极,由于第一极片111的涂布重量更大,同时对第一部分11和第二部分12充电时,有可能出现第一极片111脱出的锂离子过多,第二极片121无法充分嵌入,导致析锂风险的情况发生,此种情况仍然能解决本申请基础的技术问题,但是对循环性能有一定的损失。
在本申请的其它的一些实施例中,当中间部件13为隔离膜时,第一极片111和/或第二极片121也可设置为单面极片,即第一极片111和第二极片121中至少之一靠近中间部件13的一侧的集流体上未涂覆活性物质,第一极片111和第二极片121的 极性可以相同,也可以不同。第一极片111和/或第二极片121也可设置为单面极片包括以下情况:第一极片111仅在背离第二部分12的一侧设置有活性物质;或者,第二极片121仅在背离第一部分11的一侧设置有活性物质;又或者,第一极片111仅在背离第二部分12的一侧设置有活性物质和第二极片121仅在背离第一部分11的一侧设置有活性物质。
其中,第一极片111仅在背离第二部分12的一侧设置有活性物质是指,第一极片111为单面极片,第一极片111的集流体的面向第二部分12的一侧未设置有活性物质层,也即,第一极片111的集流体的面向第二部分12的一侧为空箔区,换句话说,第一极片111的面向中间部件13的一侧未设置有活性物质。第二极片121仅在背离第一部分11的一侧设置有活性物质是指,第二极片121为单面极片,第二极片121的集流体的面向第一部分11的一侧未设置有活性物质层,也即,第二极片121的集流体的面向第一部分11的一侧为空箔区,换句话说,第二极片121的面向中间部件13的一侧未设置有活性物质。由于集流体的厚度较薄,集流体通常为箔材,集流体的未涂布活性物质的区域称为空箔区。
在上述方案中,第一极片111和第二极片121中至少一者为单面极片,单面极片的面向中间部件13的一侧未设置有活性物质,虽然也能实现本发明的基础技术效果,但是由于第一极片111和/或第二极片121存在单面空箔区导致电极组件10整体质量能量密度降低。
请参见图8,图8为本申请一些实施例提供的第一极片111的结构示意图。根据本申请的一些实施例,第一极片111未设置有活性物质的一侧可以设置有绝缘层1013。
当第一部分11和第二部分12之间的中间部件13为隔离膜时,由于第一极片111为单面极片、第一极片111的面向第二部分12的一侧未设置有活性物质,第一极片111的集流体的未涂布活性物质的一侧为空箔区,空箔区的表面与隔离膜的粘接效果较差,容易导致第一部分11和第二部分12相互窜动,严重时导致正极极片和负极极片接触短路,影响电极组件10的安全可靠性。
在第一极片111的未设置有活性物质的一侧的设置绝缘层1013,绝缘层1013与隔离膜粘接效果较好,既能够增加第一极片111与第二极片121的绝缘效果,还能够降低电极组件10的正极极片和负极极片接触短路的风险。
请参见图9,图9为本申请一些实施例提供的第二极片121的结构示意图。根据本申请的一些实施例,第二极片121未设置有活性物质的一侧可以设置有绝缘层1013。
当第一部分11和第二部分12之间的中间部件13为隔离膜时,由于第二极片121为单面极片、第二极片121的面向第一部分11的一侧未设置有活性物质,第二极片121的集流体的未涂布活性物质的一侧为空箔区,空箔区的表面与隔离膜的粘接效果较差,容易导致第一部分11和第二部分12相互窜动,严重时导致正极极片和负极极片接触短路,影响电极组件10的安全可靠性。
在第二极片121的未设置有活性物质的一侧的设置绝缘层1013,绝缘层1013 与隔离膜粘接效果较好,既能够增加第二极片121与第一极片111的绝缘效果,还能够降低电极组件10的正极极片和负极极片接触短路的风险。
根据本申请的一些实施例,第一极片111未设置有活性物质的一侧和第二极片121未设置有活性物质的一侧可以均设置有绝缘层1013。
在第一部分11和第二部分12之间的中间部件13为隔离膜的实施例中,在第一极片111和第二极片121均为单面极片时,第一极片111未设置有活性物质的一侧和第二极片121未设置有活性物质的一侧均设置有绝缘层1013,既能够增加第一部分11与第二部分12的绝缘效果,还能够降低电极组件10的正极极片和负极极片接触短路的风险。
在上述设置绝缘层1013的实施例中,极片的集流体的未设置有活性物质的一侧设置绝缘层1013,绝缘层1013涂布于集流体的表面,绝缘层1013的厚度可以为5~70μm,可选地,绝缘层1013的厚度为7~10μm。绝缘层1013的厚度选取上述范围,既可以防止漏涂,还对电极组件10的质量能量密度影响较小。例如,当绝缘层1013的厚度较厚时,绝缘层1013会占用层叠方向上的空间,使得活性物质容量减少,从而降低质量能量密度。
根据本申请的一些实施例,中间部件13为热熔胶。热熔胶(英文名:Hot Glue)是一种可塑性的粘合剂,在一定温度范围内其物理状态随温度改变而改变,而化学特性不变,其无毒无味,属环保型化学产品。在电极组件10的热压过程中,热熔胶能够变为熔融状态而增加第一部分11和第二部分12的粘接效果。
在上述方案中,中间部件13为热熔胶,既具有绝缘效果,还能够增强第一部分11与第二部分12的连接稳定性,降低第一部分11相对于第二部分12产生位置移动的风险。
请参见图10至图13,图10为本申请一些实施例提供的捆扎件14在第一部分11上的示意图,图11为本申请一些实施例提供的捆扎件14在第二部分12上的示意图,图12为本申请另一些实施例提供的捆扎件14在第一部分11上的示意图,图13为本申请另一些实施例提供的捆扎件14在第二部分12上的示意图。在第一极片111和第二极片121中至少一者为单面极片的实施例中,电极组件10还可以包括捆扎件14,捆扎件14连接第一部分11和第二部分12,以降低第一部分11相对于第二部分12产生位置移动的风险。
捆扎件14可以为胶带,便于实现对第一部分11和第二部分12的连接。根据设计需求不同,捆扎件14可以设置于不同的位置,例如,第一部分11和第二部分12构成长方体结构,极耳位于该长方体结构的一面,捆扎件14位于长方体结构的未设置极耳的面。
捆扎件14的设置方式可以多种,例如,如图10和图11所示,捆扎件14的一端可以连接于第一部分11的远离第二部分12的一面,捆扎件14的另一端可以连接于第二部分12的远离第一部分11的一面;或者,捆扎件14的两端均可以连接于第一部分11的远离第二部分12的一面;又或者,捆扎件14的两端均可以连接于第二部分12的远离第一部分11的一面。
同时,捆扎件14在第一部分11和第二部分12构成的整体结构上的缠绕方式可以多种形式,如图10和图11所示,捆扎件14可以未缠绕一圈;或者,如图12和图13所示,捆扎件14缠绕一圈;又或者,捆扎件14缠绕大于一圈。
在一些实施例中,捆扎件14可以呈螺旋线缠绕。为了保证第一部分11和第二部分12的连接稳定性,捆扎件14的数量可以为多个,多个捆扎件14间隔分布,以在多个位置实现对第一部分11和第二部分12的连接固定。
需要指出的是,捆扎件14的厚度可以为10~20μm,减少空间占用。捆扎件14的宽度可以为5~40mm,保证与第一部分11和第二部分12具有较大的接触面积,保证连接强度,同时成本较低。

根据本申请的一些实施例,如图14至图16所示,第一部分11的正极极片包括第一正极极耳112,第一部分11的负极极片包括第一负极极耳113,第二部分12的正极极片包括第二正极极耳122,第二部分12的负极极片包括第二负极极耳123;电极组件10满足以下条件中的一者:沿极片层叠方向,第一正极极耳112的投影与第二正极极耳122的投影不重叠,第一负极极耳113的投影与第二负极极耳123的投影重叠;沿极片层叠方向,第一正极极耳112的投影与第二正极极耳122的投影重叠,第一负极极耳113的投影与第二负极极耳123的投影不重叠;沿极片层叠方向,第一正极极耳112的投影与第二正极极耳122的投影不重叠,第一负极极耳113的投影与第二负极极耳123的投影不重叠。

沿极片层叠方向,极耳的投影是指,极耳在垂直于极片层叠方向的平面上的投影。
在“沿极片层叠方向,第一正极极耳112的投影与第二正极极耳122的投影不重叠,第一负极极耳113的投影与第二负极极耳123的投影重叠”的实施例中,如图14所示,第一正极极耳112与第二正极极耳122错位设置,第一负极极耳113和第二负极极耳123对应设置,第一负极极耳113和第二负极极耳123可以连接于一体,或者,第一负极极耳113和第二负极极耳123可以相互独立。当第一负极极耳113和第二负极极耳123连接于一体时,第一部分11和第二部分12可以共用负极输出部,也即,电极组件10可以仅设置一个负极输出部,节省部件,减少装配工艺,降低成本。
在“沿极片层叠方向,第一正极极耳112的投影与第二正极极耳122的投影重叠,第一负极极耳113的投影与第二负极极耳123的投影不重叠”的实施例中,如图15所示,第一正极极耳112和第二正极极耳122对应设置,第一负极极耳113和 第二负极极耳123错位设置,第一正极极耳112和第二正极极耳122可以连接于一体,或者,第一正极极耳112和第二正极极耳122可以相互独立。当第一正极极耳112和第二正极极耳122连接于一体时,第一部分11和第二部分12可以共用正极输出部,也即,电极组件10可以仅设置一个正极输出部,节省部件,减少装配工艺,降低成本。
在“沿极片层叠方向,第一正极极耳112的投影与第二正极极耳122的投影不重叠,第一负极极耳113的投影与第二负极极耳123的投影不重叠”的实施例中,如图16所示,第一正极极耳112与第二正极极耳122错位设置,第一负极极耳113和第二负极极耳123错位设置,使得第一部分11具有第一正极输出部和第二负极输出部,第二部分12具有第二正极输出部和第二负极输出部,第一正极输出部和第二正极输出部相互独立,第一负极输出部和第二负极输出部相互独立,从而使得电极组件10设计灵活,便于实现第一部分11和第二部分12的独立充放电。
在上述方案中,电极组件10的极耳可以根据不同的需求设置在不同的位置,同时,当极耳重叠时,第一部分11和第二部分12可以共用极耳,以减少电极输出部件,节省制造成本。第一部分11和第二部分12的极耳也可以均不重叠(如图16所示)以满足通过电路控制在电极组件10内部实现第一部分11和第二部分12按需串联或并联的情况,以适应用电设备复杂的用电需求,例如当用电设备需要大电流时,例如电动汽车或者电动自行车启动阶段,可以将第一部分11和第二部分12进行并联(第一部分11和第二部分12有共用极耳时也可以实现二者并联输出大电流);当用电设备需要高电压时,可以将第一部分11和第二部分12串联,以提供高电压,减少用电设备中增设相关升压电子元器件的使用,减少成本。
需要指出的是,在上述各方案中,在与极片层叠方向垂直的方向上,不重叠的不同极耳可以位于电极组件10的同一侧,也可以位于电极组件10的不同侧。可选地,为了便于实现与其他部件的连接,电极组件10的所有极耳可以设置于电极组件10的同一侧。
根据本申请的一些实施例,本申请提供了一种电化学装置1,电化学装置1包括电极组件10、收容件20和电解液,电极组件10和电解液均容置于收容件20中。在上述方案中,直接将本申请的电极组件10和电解液容置在同一个收容件20中,可以在一个电化学装置1的一个收容件20中实现不同的充电倍率和质量能量密度的性能表达,相较于采用不同的电化学装置1进行串并联后再进行包装以实现上述不同的充电倍率和质量能量密度的性能表达目的的传统方式,本申请的方案可以节约工序和成本。
