Description

电化学装置和电子装置 技术领域
本申请涉及储能技术领域,尤其涉及一种电化学装置以及具有该电化学装置的电子装置。
背景技术
电化学装置(如二次电池)在电子移动设备、电动工具及电动汽车等电子产品中有着广泛使用,人们对电化学装置的使用寿命要求也越来越高。
电化学装置通常包括电极组件和电连接于电极组件的导电板。当受到机械滥用(如外力挤压、碰撞)时,导电板表面的凸起(如焊印)可能会刺穿隔离膜并发生短路,从而降低电化学装置的使用寿命。
发明内容
因此,本申请提出一种能够改善使用寿命的电化学装置。
另,本申请还提供一种具有该电化学装置的电子装置。
本申请第一方面提供一种电化学装置,包括电极组件和第一导电板。电极组件包括第一极片。第一极片包括第一集流体和第一导电材料层。第一集流体包括第一表面,第一导电材料层设于第一表面。第一导电材料层设有第一开口。第一表面包括第一区域,第一区域配置为第一开口显露出的第一表面的区域。第一导电板连接于第一区域。从第一方向观察,第一极片包括在第二方向上相对设置的第一端边和第二端边,第一极片于第一端边处设有第一凹部。从第一方向观察,第一凹部与第一区域相分离设置。从第二方向观察,第一凹部与第一区域重叠。从第一方向观察,第一导电板覆盖第一区域的一部分,第一导电板覆盖第一导电材料层的一部分,第一导电板覆盖第一凹部的一部分。第一方向垂直于第一区域,第二方向垂直于第一方向。
本申请设置第一凹部后,带有第一导电板的第一极片中厚度较大的位置为从第一方向观察时,第一区域两侧的具有双面涂膜的第一极片所在的位置(以下称为:第一位置),或者,为第一开口与第一凹部之间与第一导电板的重叠区域(以下称为:第二位置),这有利于减小电化学装置在第一方向上的总厚度,提高空间利用率。而且在发生机械滥用(如外力撞击、挤压)时,若外力作用位置与第一导电板表面的凸起(如焊印)重叠,第一极片中上述厚度较大的位置能够承担部分外力,减小凸起刺穿隔离膜导致短路的可能性,延长电化学装置的使用寿命。另外,若第一极片在外力作用下发生褶皱或翻折,第一凹部也能够为第一导电板提供缓冲空间,降低第一导电板随着第一极片翻折并发生断裂的可能性,进一步延长电化学装置的使用寿命。
在一些可能的实现方式中,从第一方向观察,第一凹部包括在第三方向上相对设置的第一凹部边和第二凹部边以及连接第一凹部边和第二凹部边的第三凹部边。第一凹部边、第二凹部边和第三凹部边围设成第一凹部。第三方向与第一方向和第二方向均垂直。上述结构的第一凹部能够在机械滥用时为第一导电板提供较大的缓冲空间,进一步延长电化学装置的使用寿命。
在一些可能的实现方式中,从第一方向观察,第一端边包括连接第一凹部边的第一连接边。第三凹部边和第一连接边均沿第三方向延伸。在第二方向上,第一连接边至第三凹部边的距离为第一距离L 1,第三凹部边至第一区域的距离为第二距离L 2,第一距离L 1大于第二距离L 2。第一距离L 1较大时,有利于提高第一凹部的面积,使得机械滥用时第一凹部能够为第一导电板提供较大的缓冲空间。当第 二距离L 2较小时(位于第一开口与第一凹部之间的第一导电材料层在一些实施例中被第一层覆盖,难以发挥容量作用,因此第二距离减小时难以发挥容量作用的活性材料减少),在第一极片沿第二方向尺寸一定的条件下,在第二方向上其它可发挥容量作用的活性材料增加,从而减小了对电化学装置容量的影响。
在一些可能的实现方式中,1mm≤L 1≤6mm,0.3mm≤L 2≤4mm。通过设置第一距离L 1的范围,使得机械滥用时第一凹部能够为第一导电板提供较大的缓冲空间的同时,也减小了对电化学装置容量的影响。通过设置第二距离L 2的范围,使得位于第一开口与第一凹部之间的第一导电材料层能够有效起到垫高作用的同时,也减小了对电化学装置容量的影响。
在一些可能的实现方式中,0.1≤L 2/L 1<1。通过设置第二距离L 2与第一距离L 1比值的下限值,减小了对电化学装置容量的影响,也使得该部分第一导电材料层能够有效起到垫高作用。
在一些可能的实现方式中,从第一方向观察,第一凹部还包括第四凹部边和第五凹部边。第四凹部边连接第一凹部边和第三凹部边,第五凹部边连接第二凹部边和第三凹部边。第四凹部边弯曲设置,第五凹部边弯曲设置。因此,第一凹部边和第三凹部边之间、第二凹部边和第三凹部边之间可平滑过渡,这有利于减少上述过渡的位置于切割第一凹部的过程中产生的毛刺,从而减小上述毛刺刺穿隔离膜导致短路的可能性,延长电化学装置的使用寿命。而且可使得第一开口与第一凹部之间起垫高作用的第一导电材料层面积增大,这有利于机械滥用时该部分第一导电材料层能够承担外力。
在一些可能的实现方式中,在第一方向上,第一导电板的厚度小于第一导电材料层的厚度。因此,带有第一导电板的第一极片中厚度较大的位置为第一位置。因此在发生机械滥用时,若外力作用位置与第一导电板表面的凸起重叠,则第一位置能够优先承担部分外力,且从第一方向观察时第一位置具有比第二位置更大的面积,有利于在机械滥用时承担较大的外力,进一步延长电化学装置的使用寿命。
在一些可能的实现方式中,从第一方向观察,在第三方向上,第一导电板至第一凹部边的距离为第三距离L 3,第一导电板至第二凹部边的距离为第四距离L 4,第三距离L 3不等于第四距离L 4
在一些可能的实现方式中,第一极片还包括第二导电材料层。第一集流体还包括与第一表面相对设置的第二表面,第二导电材料层设于第二表面。第二导电材料层设有第二开口。第二表面包括第二区域,第二区域配置为第二开口显露出的第二表面的区域。第一区域与第二区域在第一方向上重叠。从第二方向观察,第二区域与第一凹部重叠。从而,电化学装置充电时第一导电板处产生的热量除了可经露出于第一导电板的第一区域进行散发外,还可经第一区域和第二区域的重叠处传导至第二区域并由第二区域进行散发,减少了第一导电板局部过热的可能性。
在一些可能的实现方式中,第二区域在第二方向上与第一凹部相分离设置。因此第二开口与第一凹部之间存在的部分第二导电材料层也可在第一方向上起到垫高作用。当外力作用于电化学装置的背面时,该部分第二导电材料层也可承担部分外力,减小第一导电板表面的凸起刺穿隔离膜导致短路的可能性,延长电化学装置的使用寿命。
在一些可能的实现方式中,从第一方向观察,第一区域包括在第三方向上相对设置的第一边和第二边。第一边和第一凹部边位于第一导电板的第一侧,第二边和第二凹部边位于第一导电板与第一侧相对的第二侧。从第一方向观察,第二区域包括在第三方向上相对设置的第三边和第四边。第一边和第三边位于第一导电板的第一侧,第二边和第四边位于第一导电板的第二侧。从第一方向观察,第一边和第三边相错开,和/或,第二边和第四边相错开。因此,第一极片在第一边和第三边对应的位置具有厚度过渡,和/或,第一极片在第二边和第四边对应的位置具有厚度过渡。上述厚度过渡有利于减小辊压时第一集流体发生褶皱等损伤的可能性,从而减小电化学装置发生外观不良或内部界面不良的可能性。再者,在受到外力碰撞或挤压时,上述厚度过渡也可减小第一集流体发生撕裂的可能性。因此, 延长了电化学装置的使用寿命。
在一些可能的实现方式中,从第一方向观察,第二区域完全覆盖第一区域。因此,从第一方向观察,第一导电板的凸起可完全落在第二区域的范围内,减小了上述凸起落于第二导电材料层时导电材料脱落并导致短路的可能性,延长了电化学装置的使用寿命。
在一些可能的实现方式中,第二区域与第一凹部相接。因此第二区域与第一凹部之间不存在第二导电材料层,减少了导电材料(在一些实施例中被第二层覆盖,该部分导电材料难以发挥容量作用)的用量。而且,减少了第一导电板表面的凸部落于该部分第二导电材料层时导电材料脱落并导致短路的可能性,延长了电化学装置的使用寿命。
在一些可能的实现方式中,电化学装置还包括包含第一绝缘材料的第一层。第一层粘接第一区域。第一导电板设于第一区域和第一层之间。第一层能够减小第一导电板表面的凸起刺穿隔离膜而产生短路的风险。
在一些可能的实现方式中,从第一方向观察,第一层完全覆盖第一开口和第一凹部,第一层在第二方向上延伸超出第一端边。如此,第一层还可覆盖第一集流体在裁切过程中于第一端边处产生的毛刺,减小上述毛刺刺穿隔离膜导致短路的可能性。
在一些可能的实现方式中,第一导电板焊接于第一区域,从而使第一导电板与第一区域之间具有较高的连接强度。
在一些可能的实现方式中,电极组件为卷绕结构,第一极片为正极极片。
本申请还提供一种电子装置,包括上述电化学装置。电子装置通过上述电化学装置供电,且电化学装置具有较高的使用寿命。

请一并参照图3和图5,第一导电材料层211包括第一开口2110。第一集流体210的第一表面210a包括第一区域2100。第一区域2100配置为第一表面210a从第一开口2110显露出的区域。即,第一区域2100露出于第一开口2110。此时第一方向D 1也为垂直于第一区域2100的方向。本申请中,可以采用激光清洗方式在第一导电材料层211中清洗处出第一开口2110,使得第一区域2100露出;也可以预先在第一区域2100上贴发泡胶,涂覆活性材料后进行加热以使得发泡胶脱落,从而使第一区域2100露出;或者可以直接用刮刀刮除第一区域2100上的活性材料,从而使第一区域2100露出。然而可以理解,经激光清洗或者刮刀刮除后,第一区域2100表面也可残留有少数活性材料,本申请并不作限制。
在一些实施例中,从第一方向D 1观察,第一区域2100与第一开口2110可均为矩形。具体地,第一区域2100包括在第三方向D 3上相对设置的第一边2101和第二边2102、以及在第二方向D 2上相对设置的第五边2103和第六边2104。第五边2103连接于第一边2101和第二边2102之间,第六边2104连接于第一边2101和第二边2102之间。在一些实施例中,第一边2101和第二边2102可均沿着第二方向D 2延伸,第五边2103和第六边2104可均沿着第三方向D 3延伸,第一边2101、第二边2102、第五边2103和第六边2104可均为直线形。在另一些实施例中,当采用激光清洗等方式形成第一区域2100时,第一边2101、第二边2102、第五边2103和第六边2104中的至少一者也可以包括凹凸形状,本申请并不作限制。可以理解,第一开口2110是三维结构,然而第一开口2110从第一方向D 1观察时包括依次连接的多条边(图未标出)。从第一方向D 1观察,第一区域2100的第一边2101、第二边2102、第五边2103和第六边2104分别与第一开口2110的多条边重合。
从第一方向D 1观察,第一导电板30连接第一区域2100。其中,定义第一导电板30的第一侧30A为从第一方向D 1观察时,在第三方向D 3上位于第一导电板30一侧的位置,第一导电板30的第二侧30B为与第一侧30A相对且从第一方向D 1观察时,在第三方向D 3上位于第一导电板30另一侧的位置。第一导电板30的第三侧30C为从第一方向D 1观察时,在第二方向D 2上位于第一导电板30一侧的位置,第一导电板30的第四侧30D(在图1中示出)为与第三侧30C相对且从第一方向D 1观察时,在第二方向D 2上位于第一导电板30另一侧的位置。例如,如图3和图5所示,第一导电板30的第一侧30A指的可以是第一导电板30的左侧,第一导电板30的第二侧30B指的可以是第一导电板30的右侧,第一导电板30的第三侧30C指的可以是第一导电板30的下侧,第一导电板30的第四侧30D指的可以是第一导电板30的上侧。第一导电板30的第三侧30C位于壳体10内,第四侧30D位于壳体10外。从第一方向D 1观察,在第三方向D 3上,第一边2101位于第一导电板30的第一侧30A,第二边2102位于第一导电板30与第一侧30A相对设置的第二侧30B。从第一方向D 1观察,第一导电板30覆盖部分第五边2103,第一导电板30与部分第五边2103 重叠。为了满足电化学装置100大电流充电的需求,第一区域2100可设于第一极片21除卷绕头部与卷绕尾部之外的区域。
在一些实施例中,第一导电板30焊接于第一区域2100,从而使第一导电板30与第一区域2100之间具有较高的连接强度。请参阅图10A,在一些实施例中,第一导电板30与第一区域2100的焊接处可能会形成至少一凸起30a。如,第一导电板30与第一区域2100的焊接处可形成多个呈矩阵排列的凸起30a,且凸起30a自第一区域2100向第一导电板30突出。同时,第一导电板30背离第一区域2100的表面对应形成至少一凸起30b。第一集流体210的第二表面210b对应形成至少一凹陷210c。凸起30a和30b、凹陷210c可在焊接过程中形成(此时可称为焊印),但本申请并不作限制。请参阅图10B,在另一些实施例中,第一导电板30与第一区域2100的焊接处也可能会形成至少一凹陷30c。如,第一导电板30与第一区域2100的焊接处可形成多个呈矩阵排列的凹陷30c。凹陷30c自第一区域2100向第一导电板30凹进。同时,第一导电板30背离第一区域2100的表面对应形成至少一凹陷30d,第一集流体210的第二表面210b对应形成至少一凸起210d。凹陷30c和30d、凸起210d可在焊接过程中形成(此时可称为焊印),但本申请并不作限制。在其它实施例中,第一导电板30也可通过导电胶或其它方式连接于第一区域2100。在第一方向D 1上,第一导电板30的厚度范围可以为10μm至150μm,第二导电板40的厚度范围可以为10μm至150μm。
如图3和图5所示,从第一方向D 1观察,第一极片21包括在第二方向D 2上相对设置的第一端边213和第二端边214。在第二方向D 2上,第二端边214、第六边2104、第五边2103和第一端边213依次设置。其中,在第二方向D 2上第二端边214、第六边2104、第五边2103和第一端边213依次设置,指的是在沿第二方向D 2设置的某一虚拟直线先后经过第二端边214、第六边2104、第五边2103和第一端边213。第一端边213和第二端边214可均沿着第三方向D 3延伸。第一极片21于第一端边213处设有第一凹部2130。其中,第一凹部2130可通过激光切割或模切方式切割形成。从第一方向D 1观察,第一开口2110与第一凹部2130相分离设置,使得第一开口2110与第一凹部2130之间存在部分第一导电材料层211。从第一方向D 1观察,第一开口2110可与第二端边214相分离设置。从第二方向D 2观察,第一区域2100与第一凹部2130重叠。此处,重叠指的是两者在某个方向上至少是部分覆盖的。例如,如图3至图5所示,从第二方向D 2观察,第一凹部2130覆盖部分第一区域2100;又如,如图6所示,在另一些实施例中,从第二方向D 2观察,第一凹部2130完全覆盖第一区域2100,第一区域2100在第二方向D 2上也完全覆盖第一凹部2130(即二者重合)。从第一方向D 1观察,第一导电板30覆盖第一区域2100的一部分,第一导电板30还覆盖第一导电材料层211的一部分(即覆盖位于第一开口2110与第一凹部2130之间的部分第一导电材料层211),第一导电板30还覆盖第一凹部2130的一部分。具体地,第一导电板30包括在第二方向D 2上依次连接的第一连接区31、第二连接区32和第三连接区33。从第一方向D 1观察,第一连接区31覆盖第一区域2100的一部分,焊印可形成于第一连接区31;第二连接区32覆盖第一导电材料层211的一部分;第三连接区33覆盖第一凹部2130的一部分。第三连接区33在第二方向D 2上延伸至超出第一端边213,并进一步伸出壳体10。其中,第一连接区31即为电化学装置100充电时电流流经的位置,电化学装置100充电时第一连接区31处产生的热量可经露出于第一连接区31的第一区域2100进行散发。请参阅图11和图12,可以理解,第一开口2110与第一凹部2130之间存在的部分第一导电材料层211可在第一方向D 1上起到垫高的作用,该部分第一导电材料层211的存在减小了与焊印(如凸起30b)在第一方向D 1上的高度差,甚至该部分第一导电材料层211在第一方向D 1上可高于焊印。因此 在发生机械滥用时,若外力作用位置与第一导电板30的焊印重叠,尤其当外力作用于电化学装置100的正面(即如图2A所示的壳体10朝向第一区域2100的第一壁111)时,起垫高作用的该部分第一导电材料层211可承担部分外力,减小焊印刺穿隔离膜23并与第二极片22接触短路的可能性,延长电化学装置100的使用寿命。
如图3和图5所示,在一些实施例中,第一凹部2130包括第一凹部边2131、第二凹部边2132和第三凹部边2133。第一凹部边2131和第二凹部边2132在第三方向D 3上相对设置。第一凹部边2131和第二凹部边2132可均沿着第二方向D 2延伸,第三凹部边2133可沿着第三方向D 3延伸。其中,当第一凹部边2131沿着第二方向D 2延伸时,第一凹部边2131可与第二方向D 2平行,也可相较于第二方向D 2倾斜设置(即第一凹部边2131与第二方向D 2的夹角<90°),但第一凹部边2131整体并不与第三方向D 3平行。第二凹部边2132沿着第二方向D 2延伸同理。第三凹部边2133连接第一凹部边2131和第二凹部边2132。第一凹部边2131、第二凹部边2132和第三凹部边2133围设形成第一凹部2130。从第一方向D 1观察,第一开口2110与第一凹部2130的第三凹部边2133相分离设置。从第一方向D 1观察,第一边2101和第一凹部边2131均位于第一导电板30的第一侧30A,第二边2102和第二凹部边2132均位于第一导电板30的第二侧30B,且第一导电板30覆盖部分第三凹部边2133。在一些具体地实施例中,从第一方向D 1观察,第一凹部2130可大致为矩形,第一凹部边2131、第二凹部边2132和第三凹部边2133均为直线。从第一方向D 1观察,第一连接区31和第二连接区32之间的虚拟分界线与第五边2103重叠,第二连接区32和第三连接区33之间的虚拟分界线与第三凹部边2133重叠。
进一步地,从第一方向D 1观察,第一端边213包括连接第一凹部边2131的第一连接边213a和连接第二凹部边2132的第二连接边213b。第一连接边213a和第二连接边213b可均沿着第三方向D 3延伸。从第一方向D 1观察,第一连接边213a位于第一导电板30的第一侧30A,第二连接边213b位于第一导电板30的第二侧30B。
如图7A所示,在另一些实施例中,第一凹部2130的形状还可以变更。例如,从第一方向D 1观察,第一凹部2130还可以大致为U形。此时,第一凹部2130包括第一凹部边2131、第二凹部边2132、第三凹部边2133、第四凹部边2134和第五凹部边2135。第一凹部边2131和第二凹部边2132在第三方向D 3上相对设置。第一凹部边2131和第二凹部边2132可均沿着第二方向D 2延伸,第三凹部边2133可沿着第三方向D 3延伸。第四凹部边2134连接第一凹部边2131和第三凹部边2133,第四凹部边2134弯曲设置。第五凹部边2135连接第二凹部边2132和第三凹部边2133,第五凹部边2135弯曲设置。第一凹部边2131、第二凹部边2132、第三凹部边2133、第四凹部边2134和第五凹部边2135围设形成第一凹部2130。在一些具体地实施例中,第一凹部边2131、第二凹部边2132和第三凹部边2133均为直线,第四凹部边2134和第五凹部边2135均为远离第一凹部2130凸出设置的弧形。在另一些实施例中,第三凹部边2133也可以为弧形。通过设置弯曲的第四凹部边2134和第五凹部边2135,使得第一凹部边2131和第三凹部边2133之间、第二凹部边2132和第三凹部边2133之间平滑过渡。这有利于减少上述过渡的位置于切割第一凹部2130的过程中产生的毛刺,从而减小上述毛刺刺穿隔离膜23并与第二极片22接触短路的可能性,延长电化学装置100的使用寿命。而且通过设置弯曲的第四凹部边2134和第五凹部边2135,使得第一开口2110与第一凹部2130之间起垫高作用的第一导电材料层211面积增大,这有利于机械滥用时该部分第一导电材料层211能够承担外力。
如图7B所示,在另一些实施例中,第一凹部边2131可以弯曲设置,第二凹部边2132也可以弯曲设置。在一些具体地实施例中,第一凹部边2131为远离第一凹部2130凸出设置的弧形。 第二凹部边2132也为远离第一凹部2130凸出设置的弧形。此时,同样可使得第一凹部边2131和第三凹部边2133之间、第二凹部边2132和第三凹部边2133之间平滑过渡。这有利于减少上述过渡的位置于切割第一凹部2130的过程中产生的毛刺,从而减小上述毛刺刺穿隔离膜23并与第二极片22接触短路的可能性,延长电化学装置100的使用寿命。
如图8所示,在另一些实施例中,从第一方向D 1观察,第一凹部2130还可以大致为V形。此时,第一凹部2130仅包括第一凹部边2131和第二凹部边2132。第一凹部边2131和第二凹部边2132可均偏离第二方向D 2延伸。第一凹部边2131直接连接第二凹部边2132,第一凹部边2131和第二凹部边2132围设形成第一凹部2130。在一些具体地实施例中,第一凹部边2131和第二凹部边2132均为直线。
请参阅图4,在一些实施例中,第一集流体210的第二表面210b包括第二区域2100’。第二导电材料层212包括第二开口2120。第二区域2100’配置为第二表面210b从第二开口2120显露出的区域。即,第二区域2100’露出于第二开口2120。从第一方向D 1观察,第一区域2100和第二区域2100’重叠。从而,电化学装置100充电时第一导电板30处产生的热量除了可经露出于第一连接区31的第一区域2100进行散发外,还可经第一区域2100和第二区域2100’的重叠处传导至第二区域2100’并由第二区域2100’进行散发,减少了第一导电板30局部过热的可能性。从第二方向D 2观察,第二区域2100’与第一凹部2130重叠。
在一些实施例中,第二区域2100’与第一凹部2130可相接。因此,从第一方向D 1观察,第二区域2100’与第一凹部2130之间不存在第二导电材料层212。因此,位于第一开口2110与第一凹部2130之间的第一极片21为单面涂膜区。
在一些实施例中,从第一方向D 1观察,第二区域2100’与第二开口2120可均为矩形。第二区域2100’包括在第三方向D 3上相对设置的第三边2105和第四边2106、以及在第二方向D 2上相对设置的第七边2107和第八边2108。第七边2107连接于第三边2105和第四边2106之间,第八边2108连接于第三边2105和第四边2106之间。第三边2105和第四边2106可均沿着第二方向D 2延伸,第七边2107和第八边2108可均沿着第三方向D 3延伸。如图3至图5所示,从第一方向D 1观察,第一边2101和第三边2105位于第一导电板30的第一侧30A,第二边2102和第四边2106位于第一导电板30的第二侧30B。从第一方向D 1观察,第一导电板30覆盖第七边2107。从第一方向D 1观察,第六边2104与第八边2108可以重叠;在另一些实施例中,如图9所示,第六边2104与第八边2108也可以在第二方向D 2上相互错开。在一些实施例中,如图3至图5所示,第六边2104与第八边2108重叠。而第二区域2100’与第一凹部2130相接,因此第五边2103和第七边2107在第二方向D 2上相互错开,第七边2107相较于第五边2103更靠近第一端边213。从第一方向D 1观察,第七边2107与第三凹部边2133重叠。因此在第二方向D 2上,第二端边214、第八边2108、第五边2103、第七边2107(第三凹部边2133)和第一端边213依次设置。由于第二区域2100’与第一凹部2130之间不存在第二导电材料层212,因此减少了导电材料的用量。而且,减少了焊印(如图10A所示的凹陷210c或图10B所示的凸起210d)超出第五边2103并落于该部分第二导电材料层212时导电材料脱落并导致短路的可能性,延长了电化学装置100的使用寿命。可以理解,第二开口2120是三维结构,然而第二开口2120从第一方向D 1观察时包括依次连接的多条边(图未标出)。从第一方向D 1观察,第二区域2100’的第三边2105、第四边2106、第七边2107和第八边2108分别与第二开口2120的多条边重合。
可以理解,若未设置第一凹部2130,在第一区域2100上连接第一导电板30后,带有第一导电板30的第一极片21中厚度较大的位置应为从第一方向D 1观察时,第一导电材料层211、 第一集流体210和第二导电材料层212三者与第一导电板30的重叠区域(包括第一导电板30、第一导电材料层211、第一集流体210和第二导电材料层212四者的厚度之和)。
如图10A至图12所示,本申请设置第一凹部2130后,带有第一导电板30的第一极片21中厚度较大的位置应为从第一方向D 1观察时,在第三方向D 3上位于第一区域2100两侧的具有双面涂膜的第一极片21所在的位置(以下称为:第一位置P 1,第一位置P 1的厚度T 1包括第一导电材料层211、第一集流体210和第二导电材料层212三者的厚度之和),或者,为第一开口2110与第一凹部2130之间与第一导电板30的重叠区域(以下称为:第二位置P 2,第二位置P 2的厚度T 2包括第一导电板30、第一导电材料层211和第一集流体210三者的厚度之和)。
因此本申请通过设置第一凹部2130,有利于减小电化学装置100在第一方向D 1上的总厚度,提高空间利用率。而且在发生机械滥用时,若外力作用位置与第一导电板30的焊印重叠,尤其当外力作用于电化学装置100的正面时,第一极片21中上述厚度较大的第一位置P 1或第二位置P 2能够承担部分外力,减小焊印(如凸起30b)刺穿隔离膜23并与第二极片22接触短路的可能性,延长电化学装置100的使用寿命。另外,第一极片21可能会在外力作用下发生褶皱,使得第一极片21的第一端边213或第二端边214朝向第一极片21中部翻折。此时第一凹部2130能够为第一导电板30的第三连接区33提供缓冲空间,降低第一导电板30随着第一极片21翻折并发生断裂的可能性,进一步延长电化学装置100的使用寿命。尤其如图3、图7A和图7B所示当第一凹部2130包括第一凹部边2131、第二凹部边2132和第三凹部边2133时,上述结构的第一凹部2130能够在机械滥用时为第一导电板30提供较大的缓冲空间。
在一些实施例中,第二极片22也可采用与第一极片21相似的设计,如在第二极片22的第二集流体220上设置第三区域(如空白区)以连接第二导电板40,在第二极片22的端边处设置第二凹部,并使得第三导电材料层221对应于空白区的第三区域在第二方向D 2上与第一凹部2130相分离设置。如此,可进一步提高电化学装置100的空间利用率、延长使用寿命。
如图10A至图12所示,在一些实施例中,在第一方向D 1上,第一导电板30的厚度小于第一导电材料层211的厚度。因此在第一区域2100上连接第一导电板30后,带有第一导电板30的第一极片21中厚度较大的位置为在第三方向D 3上位于第一区域2100两侧的具有双面涂膜的第一极片21所在的位置,即第一位置P 1。因此在发生机械滥用时,若外力作用位置与第一导电板30的焊印重叠,则第一位置P 1能够优先承担部分外力,且从第一方向D 1观察时第一位置P 1具有比第二位置P 2更大的面积,这有利于在机械滥用时承担较大的外力,进一步延长电化学装置100的使用寿命。
如图3、图10A至图12所示,在一些实施例中,电化学装置100还包括包含绝缘材料的第一层50。第一层50粘接第一区域2100。第一导电板30设于第一区域2100和第一层50之间。第一层50用于覆盖第一导电板30的焊印(如凸起30b),从而减小上述焊印刺穿隔离膜23而产生短路的风险。其中,第一层50可以为单面胶或双面胶,具体材质可以选自聚丙烯、聚乙烯、聚偏二氟乙烯、偏二氟乙烯-六氟丙烯共聚物、聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯或聚乙二醇中至少一种。在其它实施例中,第一层50也可以为陶瓷涂层。在第一方向D 1上,第一层50的厚度范围可以为3μm至30μm。
在一些实施例中,从第一方向D 1观察,第一层50完全覆盖第一开口2110和第一凹部2130,且同时覆盖位于第一开口2110和第一凹部2130之间的第一导电材料层211。而且,第一层50在第二方向D 2上延伸超出第一端边213。具体地,从第一方向D 1观察,第一层50包括在第二方向D 2上相对设置的第一边缘51和第二边缘52,还包括在第三方向D 3上相对设置的第三边缘 53和第四边缘54。第一边缘51和第二边缘52可均沿第三方向D 3延伸。第三边缘53和第四边缘54可均沿第三方向D 3延伸。第三边缘53连接于第一边缘51和第二边缘52之间,第四边缘54连接于第一边缘51和第二边缘52之间。第一边缘51在第二方向D 2上延伸超出第一端边213。从第一方向D 1观察,第二边缘52可位于第六边2104与第二端边214之间。第三边缘53位于第一导电板30的第一侧30A,且在第三方向D 3上,第一边2101位于第三边缘53和第一导电板30之间。第四边缘54可位于第一导电板30的第二侧30B,且在第三方向D 3上,第二边2102位于第四边缘54和第一导电板30之间。如此,第一层50还可覆盖第一集流体210在裁切过程中于第一端边213处产生的毛刺,减小上述毛刺刺穿隔离膜23并与第二极片22接触短路的可能性。从第一方向D 1观察,第一层50也可覆盖部分第一导电材料层211。为了便于区分,图3中被第一层50覆盖的第一导电材料层211与其它第一导电材料层211采用不同的填充方式示出。然而可以理解,这并不意味着被第一层50覆盖的第一导电材料层211与其它第一导电材料层211采用不同的活性材料制得,两者之间并无明显界限。可以理解,如图7A所示当设置弯曲的第四凹部边2134和第五凹部边2135时,第一开口2110与第一凹部2130之间起垫高作用的第一导电材料层211面积增大,这也有利于增大第一层50与第一导电材料层211之间的接触面积,提高第一层50于第一极片21上的连接强度。
如图5、图10A至图12所示,电化学装置100还包括包含绝缘材料的第二层60。第二层60粘接第二区域2100’。第二层60用于覆盖焊印(如凸起210d),从而减小上述焊印刺穿隔离膜23而产生短路的风险。在一些实施例中,第二层60可以为单面胶、双面胶或陶瓷涂层。
如图3和图5所示,在一些实施例中,在第二方向D 2上,第一连接边213a至第三凹部边2133的距离为第一距离L 1,第三凹部边2133至第一区域2100的距离为第二距离L 2,L 2也为位于第一开口2110与第一凹部2130之间的部分第一导电材料层211在第二方向D 2上的尺寸。第一距离L 1大于第二距离L 2(L 1>L 2)。其中,第一距离L 1较大时,有利于提高第一凹部2130的面积,使得机械滥用时第一凹部2130能够为第一导电板30提供较大的缓冲空间。而且可以理解,位于第一开口2110与第一凹部2130之间的部分第一导电材料层211被第一层50覆盖,该部分第一导电材料层211内的材料在充放电过程中难以发挥容量作用。同时,第一区域2100在第二方向D 2上需预留出足够的空间以连接第一导电板30。因此在第一极片21沿第二方向D 2尺寸一定的条件下,当第二距离L 2较小时(被第一层50覆盖的难以发挥容量作用的活性材料减少),在第六边2104至第二端边214之间的距离可增加(即第六边2104至第二端边214之间未被第一层50覆盖、可发挥容量作用的活性材料增加),从而减小了对电化学装置100容量的影响。在另一些实施例中,第一距离L 1也可以小于第二距离L 2。此时由于第二距离L 2较大,使得位于第一开口2110与第一凹部2130之间的第一导电材料层211能够有效起到垫高作用。
可以理解,如图8所示,若从第一方向D 1观察第一凹部2130大致为V形,此时,第一距离L 1为在第二方向D 2上,第一连接边213a至第一凹部边2131和第二凹部边2132的交点的距离。第二距离L 2为在第二方向D 2上,第一凹部边2131和第二凹部边2132的交点至第一区域2100的距离。
当满足第一距离L 1大于第二距离L 2时,在一些实施例中,第一距离L 1的范围为1mm至6mm(1mm≤L 1≤6mm),第二距离L 2的范围为0.3mm至4mm(0.3mm≤L 2≤4mm),且0.1≤L 2/L 1<1。通过设置第一距离L 1的范围,使得机械滥用时第一凹部2130能够为第一导电板30提供较大的缓冲空间的同时,相较于第一距离L 1较大时(即第一凹部2130的面积增大,第一凹部2130内被移除的第一导电材料层211面积也增大)的情况,本申请可减小对电化学装置100容量的影响。 通过设置第二距离L 2的范围,使得位于第一开口2110与第一凹部2130之间的第一导电材料层211能够有效起到垫高作用的同时,相较于第二距离L 2较大时的情况,本申请可减小对电化学装置100容量的影响。在一些实施例中,第二距离L 2与第一距离L 1的比值的范围为0.1至1。即,0.1≤L 2/L 1<1。通过设置第二距离L 2与第一距离L 1比值的下限值,减小了第一距离L 1占比较大(第一凹部2130的面积较大)或第一开口2110与第一凹部2130之间的部分第一导电材料层211在第二方向D 2上的尺寸较小的可能性。因此,本申请可减小对电化学装置100容量的影响,也可使得该部分第一导电材料层211能够有效起到垫高作用。
如图3和图5所示,在一些实施例中,从第一方向D 1观察,第一导电板30在第三方向D 3上覆盖第一凹部2130的中间位置。因此在第三方向D 3上,第一导电板30至第一凹部边2131的距离为第三距离L 3,第一导电板30至第二凹部边2132的距离为第四距离L 4,第三距离L 3大致等于第四距离L 4。例如,第三距离L 3与第四距离L 4的差值不超过±1.5mm。在一些具体地实施例中,第三距离L 3的范围为1mm至8mm,第四距离L 4的范围为1mm至8mm。如此,在使得第一凹部2130为第一导电板30提供足够的缓冲空间的同时,也减小了第三距离L 3或第四距离L 4过大时对电化学装置100容量的影响。
可以理解,如图7B所示,若第一凹部边2131和第二凹部边2132的延伸方向并非严格平行于第二方向D 2时,第三距离L 3为在第二方向D 2上,第一导电板30至第一凹部边2131的最大距离,第四距离L 4为在第二方向D 2上,第一导电板30至第二凹部边2132的最大距离。如图8所示,若从第一方向D 1观察第一凹部2130大致为V形,此时,第三距离L 3为在第二方向D 2上,第一导电板30至第一凹部边2131的最大距离。第四距离L 4为在第二方向D 2上,第一导电板30至第二凹部边2132的最大距离。
如图13所示,在另一些实施例中,从第一方向D 1观察,第一导电板30在第三方向D 3上也可以偏离第一凹部2130的中间位置,使得第三距离L 3不等于第四距离L 4。在一些具体的实施例中,第三距离L 3可小于第四距离L 4
如图3和图5所示,在一些实施例中,从第一方向D 1观察,第一导电板30在第三方向D 3上覆盖第一区域2100的中间位置。因此在第三方向D 3上,第一边2101至第一导电板30的距离为第五距离L 5,第二边2102至第一导电板30的距离为第六距离L 6,第五距离L 5大致等于第六距离L 6。例如,第五距离L 5与第六距离L 6的差值不超过±1.5mm。第五距离L 5与第六距离L 6实际上为在第三方向D 3上露出于第一导电板30的第一连接区31的第一区域2100的尺寸。在一些具体地实施例中,第五距离L 5的范围为1mm至10mm,第六距离L 6的范围为1mm至10mm。如此,在使得电化学装置100充电时第一连接区31处产生的热量可经露出于第一连接区31的第一区域2100进行散发、减少了第一导电板30局部过热的可能性的同时,也减小了第五距离L 5或第六距离L 6过大时对电化学装置100容量的影响。
如图13所示,在另一些实施例中,当从第一方向D 1观察,第一导电板30在第三方向D 3上偏离第一区域2100的中间位置时,第五距离L 5也可以小于或大于第六距离L 6。这有利于降低在第一区域2100上连接第一导电板30时的工艺要求。
如图3和图5所示,在一些实施例中,当第一凹部2130在第二方向D 2上仅覆盖部分第一区域2100时,第四距离L 4小于第六距离L 6。如图6所示,在另一些实施例中,当第一凹部2130和第一区域2100在第二方向D 2上完全重合时,第四距离L 4也可以大致等于第六距离L 6。例如,第四距离L 4与第六距离L 6的差值不超过±1.5mm。
其中,第一距离L 1至第六距离L 6可分别采用直接测量法测得,测试步骤包括:将电化学装 置100进行拆解,取第一极片21作为测试样品;采用卡尺或其它合适的量具直接测量第一距离L 1至第六距离L 6的数值,或者采集第一极片21的图像,在图像中进行测量。
如图3至图5所示,在一些实施例中,从第一方向D 1观察,第一区域2100和第二区域2100’可以在第三方向D 3上相错开。在一些具体的实施例中,从第一方向D 1观察,第一边2101和第三边2105在第三方向D 3上相错开,第二边2102和第四边2106在第三方向D 3上相错开。第一边2101和第三边2105相错开,使得第一极片21在第一边2101和第三边2105对应的位置具有厚度过渡。同理,第二边2102和第四边2106相错开,使得第一极片21在第二边2102和第四边2106对应的位置具有厚度过渡。上述厚度过渡有利于减小极片辊压时第一集流体210受压突然增大而发生褶皱等损伤的可能性,从而减小电化学装置100发生外观不良或内部界面不良的可能性。再者,在受到外力碰撞或挤压时,上述厚度过渡也可减小第一集流体210发生撕裂的可能性。因此,延长了电化学装置100的使用寿命。
进一步地,在一些实施例中,从第一方向D 1观察,第二区域2100’完全覆盖第一区域2100。即,从第一方向D 1观察,第二区域2100’的面积大于第一区域2100的面积,使得在第一方向D 1上,第一区域2100的投影完全位于第二区域2100’的投影内。如此,从第一方向D 1观察,焊印(如图10A所示的凹陷210c或图10B所示的凸起210d)可完全落在第二区域2100’的范围内,减小了焊印落于第二导电材料层212时导电材料脱落并导致短路的可能性,延长了电化学装置100的使用寿命。
请参阅图14,在另一些实施例中,从第一方向D 1观察,第一区域2100和第二区域2100’也可以完全重合。具体地,从第一方向D 1观察,第一边2101与第三边2105重合,第二边2102与第四边2106重合,第五边2103与第七边2107重合,第六边2104与第八边2108重合。此时从第一方向D 1观察,第一区域2100的面积与第二区域2100’的面积相等。
请参阅图15和图16,本申请另一实施方式还提供一种电化学装置(图未标出)。与上述电化学装置100不同之处在于,在第一极片21中,第二区域2100’在第二方向D 2上与第一凹部2130相分离设置,使得第二开口2120与第一凹部2130之间存在部分第二导电材料层212。因此,从第一方向D 1观察,位于第一开口2110与第一凹部2130之间的第一极片21为双面涂膜区。
如图16所示,此时第二位置P 2的厚度T 2包括第一导电板30、第一导电材料层211、第一集流体210和第二导电材料层212四者的厚度之和。此时在第二位置P 2处,第二开口2120与第一凹部2130之间存在的部分第二导电材料层212也可在第一方向D 1上起到垫高作用。当外力作用于电化学装置100的背面(即如图2A所示的壳体10朝向第二区域2100’的第二壁112)时,该部分第二导电材料层212也可承担部分外力,减小焊印(如凹陷210c或凸起210d)刺穿隔离膜23并与第二极片22接触短路的可能性,延长电化学装置的使用寿命。
其中,本申请的电化学装置(如电化学装置100)包括所有能够发生电化学反应的装置。具体的,电化学装置包括所有种类的原电池、二次电池、燃料电池、太阳能电池和电容器(例如超级电容器)。可选地,电化学装置可以为锂二次电池,包括锂金属二次电池、锂离子二次电池、锂聚合物二次电池和锂离子聚合物二次电池。
请参阅图17,本申请一实施方式还提供一种电子装置1,电子装置1包括电化学装置(如电化学装置100)。电子装置1通过上述电化学装置100供电,且电化学装置100具有较高的使用寿命。其中,本申请的电化学装置100适用于各种领域的电子装置1。在一实施方式中,本申请的电子装置1可以是,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。
以下通过具体实施例和对比例对本申请作详细说明。其中,以电化学装置为电池、第一极片为正极、第一导电板为正极导电板为例并结合具体测试方法对本申请进行说明。
实施例1-9
参阅图3,在经过冷压工序后的第一极片21上,采用激光清洗方式在第一导电材料层211中清洗出第一开口2110,使得第一区域2100露出于第一开口2110。在第一极片21的第一端边213上开设第一凹部2130,从第一方向D 1观察时第一开口2110与第一凹部2130相分离设置。然后在第一区域2100上焊接第一导电板30。第二极片22、隔离膜23和电解液等可采用常规设计。将第一极片21、隔离膜23和第二极片22进行层叠卷绕,置于壳体后注入电解液并进行封装,从而制作为电池,第一极片21为阴极极片。
实施例1-9的不同之处在于、第一距离L 1的值、第二距离L 2的值、或第二距离L 2与第一距离L 1的比值。
对比例
与实施例1-9不同之处在于,第一极片21上不设置第一凹部2130。
对各实施例和对比例的电池各取20个分别进行钝刺测试(又称Dent测试),钝刺测试的具体步骤包括:1)在25±5℃的环境条件下,将电池充电至100%SOC(State of Charge,荷电状态);2)采用三角棒挤压机(型号:DKBF-3KH,厂商:Dae Kyung),通过直径为6mm的半圆头钉挤压在电池正面且对应于第一导电板30的焊印位置,然后以300N/min的速度逐渐增加压力至1300N;3)观察电池是否失效。其中,Dent通过率的计算公式为:Dent通过率=通过Dent测试的电池数量/测试的电池数量。结果记录于表1中。
表1
  第一凹部 L 1/mm L 2/mm L 2/L 1 Dent通过率
实施例1 6 0.3 0.05 14/20
实施例2 5 0.5 0.1 20/20
实施例3 4 1.2 0.3 20/20
实施例4 1 0.5 0.5 20/20
实施例5 4 3 0.75 20/20
实施例6 4 4 1 20/20
实施例7 3 3 1 20/20
实施例8 2 2 1 20/20
实施例9 1.5 1.8 1.2 17/20
对比例 6/20
注:Dent通过率X/20表示测试的20个样品中,通过Dent测试的个数为X个。
从表1数据可知,相较于对比例,实施例1-9在第一极片21上设置第一凹部2130。第一开口2110与第一凹部2130之间存在的部分第一导电材料层211可在第一方向D 1上起到垫高的作用,该部分第一导电材料层211在钝刺测试过程中可承担部分外力。同时,半圆头钉直径较大(大于第一导电板30在第三方向D 3上的宽度),因此钝刺测试过程中位于第一区域2100两侧的具有双面涂膜的第一极片21所在的位置也可承担部分外力。因此,减少了焊印刺穿隔离膜23并与 第二极片22接触短路的可能性,使得实施例1-9的电池在钝刺测试过程中通过率较高。再者,实施例1-9中,实施例1的第二距离L 2占比较小使得L 2/L 1较小,因此第一开口2110与第一凹部2130之间的部分第一导电材料层211在第二方向D 2上的尺寸较小,能够有效起到垫高作用的该部分第一导电材料层211尺寸减小,因此电池在钝刺测试过程中通过率降低;实施例9的第一距离L 1占比较小使得L 2/L 1较大,因此能够为第一导电板30提供缓冲空间的第一凹部2130的面积减小,因此电池在钝刺测试过程中通过率降低。
最后应说明的是,以上实施例仅用以说明本申请的技术方案而非限制,尽管参照较佳实施例对本申请进行了详细说明,本领域的普通技术人员应当理解,可以对本申请的技术方案进行修改或等同替换,而不脱离本申请技术方案的精神和范围。
