Description

电化学装置及电子装置 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和具有所述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可靠性和安全性要求也越来越高。
电化学装置通常包括导电板,导电板连接极片和壳体,从而将极片的电极性经壳体引出。然而在由于非正常使用所造成的一些极端情况下,导电板的毛刺可能会刺穿隔离膜引发短路。在电化学装置发生机械滥用时,导电板也可能会发生疲劳断裂,进而导致电化学装置失效,影响电化学装置的安全可靠性和使用寿命。
发明内容
有鉴于此,有必要提供一种可靠性和安全性较高的电化学装置。
另,还有必要提供一种具有上述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,包括壳体和电极组件。壳体包括第一壁和连接第一壁的侧壁。第一壁和侧壁围设形成容纳腔,电极组件收容于容纳腔内。自第一壁至电极组件的方向为第一方向。电极组件为卷绕结构,且包括第一极片、第二极片以及设于所述第一极片和所述第二极片之间的隔离膜。电化学装置还包括第一导电板和第一层。第一导电板包括相连接的第一导电区和第二导电区,第二导电区相较于第一导电区弯折。第一导电区连接第一极片,第二导电区连接第一壁。第二导电区包括连接于第一导电区的第一端部和与第一端部相对设置的第二端部。第二导电区自第一端部沿与第一方向垂直的第二方向延伸。第一层包含绝缘材料。在第一方向上,第一层设于电极组件以及第二导电区之间。从第一方向观察,第一层包括沿电极组件的边缘弯曲延伸的第一边以及连接于第一边的第二边。第二边与电极组件存在重叠,第二边相较于第一边更远离电极组件的边缘使第一层形成缺口。从第一方向观察,第二端部与第一层存在重叠。第二层包含绝缘材料。第二层包括覆盖第二导电区的第一区域,第一区域包括相连接的第一分区和第二分区。从第一方向观察,第一分区覆盖缺口,第二分区与第一层存在重叠。
本申请中,第一层用于隔绝电极组件和第一壁,减小电极组件与第一壁直接接触导致短路的可能性。第一层还可覆盖第二导电区的毛刺,减小上述毛刺刺穿隔离膜导致短路的可能性。而且,通过设置第二边相较于第一边更远离电极组件的边缘,当电化学装置发生机械滥用时,可以减小第一层对第一导电区和第二导电区之间的弯折处的挤压,从而减小了第一导电板上述弯折处在应力作用下发生断裂的可能性并导致电化学装置失效的可能 性,也减小第一导电板断裂后产生的尖端刺穿隔离膜引发短路的可能性。因此,电化学装置的可靠性和使用寿命得到提高。再者,本申请通过设置第二层的第一区域覆盖缺口,因此第一区域可配合第一层共同隔绝电极组件和第一壁,降低了由于第一层设置缺口后可能引发的短路可能性。另外第二层还可减小第二边处发生起翘的可能性,且使得第一层不容易在壳体内移动。
在一些可能实现方式中,从第一方向观察,第一端部位于缺口内。可以降低第一端部与侧壁接触摩擦的情况。
在一些可能的实现方式中,第一层朝向第一壁的表面包括第一凹部,第一层在第一凹部处与第二导电区相接。如此,在保证第一层厚度的前提下,可以减小第二导电区和第一层在第一方向上的总厚度,从而有利于提升能量密度。
在一些可能的实现方式中,第二边包括弯曲部。考虑第一层在切割时可能在第二边上形成豁口,通过设置第二边包括弯曲部,可减小在第一层的安装过程中上述豁口进一步扩大形成裂纹的可能性。
在一些可能的实现方式中,定义第三方向垂直于第一方向和第二方向,第二边在第三方向上的尺寸为d2,第二导电区在第三方向上的尺寸为d,d2>d。因此,可以使得第一层充分覆盖第二导电区,减小第二导电区的毛刺刺穿隔离膜导致短路的可能性。而且,可以使得第一层能够充分隔绝电极组件和第一壁,减小电极组件和第一壁直接接触短路的可能性。
在一些可能的实现方式中,第一极片包括第一集流体和设于第一集流体表面的第一活性物质层。第一集流体包括与第一活性物质层相离的第一部分,第一导电区连接于第一部分。如此,可减小第一导电区在第二方向上对电化学装置能量密度的影响,也减小了第一导电区对电极组件整体的平整度的影响。
在一些可能的实现方式中,在第二方向上,第一导电区设于第一部分朝向侧壁的表面。由于第一部分的阻挡,可减小第一导电区的毛刺刺穿隔离膜引发短路的可能性。
在一些可能的实现方式中,第一区域在第一方向上设于第二导电区和电极组件之间。第一区域用于配合第一层共同隔绝电极组件和第一壁以及共同覆盖第二导电区的毛刺,降低了发生短路的可能性。
在一些可能的实现方式中,第二层还包括连接第一区域的第二区域。第二区域覆盖第一导电区。第二区域用于覆盖第一导电区的毛刺,进一步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,电化学装置还包括包含绝缘材料的第三层。第三层包括在第一方向上设于第二导电区和第一壁之间的第三区域。第三区域包括相连接的第三分区和第四分区。从第一方向观察,第三分区覆盖缺口,第四分区与第一层存在重叠。第三区域用于配合第一层共同隔绝电极组件和第一壁,降低了发生短路的可能性。
在一些可能的实现方式中,第三层还包括连接第三区域的第四区域。在第二方向上,第一导电区设于第二区域和第四区域之间。第四区域用于覆盖第一导电区的毛刺或焊印。
在一些可能的实现方式中,第二层包括层叠的胶粘层和基材。胶粘层包含绝缘材料。基材通过胶粘层粘接于第一导电板。由于第三层未粘接电极组件,注液后位于第一层和第一壁之间的电解液可以充分浸润电极组件,改善循环过程中的界面,降低了由于析锂、黑斑、紫斑等引起的容量衰减,提升了电化学装置的循环性能。
在一些可能的实现方式中,基材的材质选自聚酰亚胺或聚对苯二甲酸乙二脂的至少一种。在一些可能的实现方式中,胶粘层的绝缘材料选自丁二烯,异戊二烯、苯乙烯、甲基丙烯酸甲酯、甲基丙烯酸丁酯、丙烯酸异辛酯或丙烯酸丁酯的至少一种,使得胶粘层具有较佳的粘接性。
在一些可能的实现方式中,第四分区包括在第二方向上背离第三分区的第二端,第二端和侧壁在第二方向上的尺寸为d5,第一壁的半径为R,d5<0.4R。如此,可以减小第三区域对第二导电板与第一壁之间的连接(焊接)区域的影响,即减小第三区域干涉到上述连接区域、导致连接区域失效的可能性。
在一些可能的实现方式中,定义第三方向垂直于第一方向和第二方向,第二边在第三方向上的尺寸为d2,第一区域在第三方向上的尺寸为d3,d2<d3。如此,可以使得第一区域配合第一层共同隔绝电极组件和第一壁,降低了发生短路的可能性。
在一些可能的实现方式中,第二边与侧壁在第二方向上的距离为第一距离L,第二分区包括在第二方向上背离第一分区的第一端,第一端和侧壁在第二方向上的尺寸为d1,0.4d1<L<d1,从而减小了L值过小时,注液后位于第一层和第一壁之间的电解液不易充分浸润电极组件的可能性,因此提高了电极组件的浸润效果,从而改善循环过程中的界面、降低了由于析锂、黑斑、紫斑等引起的容量衰减,提升了电化学装置的循环性能。
在一些可能的实现方式中,从第一方向观察,第二导电区与电极组件的卷绕中心轴存在重叠。因此第二导电区在第二方向上具有较大的尺寸,有利于提高第二导电区和第一壁之间的连接强度。
在一些可能的实现方式中,电极组件的卷绕起始端设有空腔。从第一方向观察,第一层覆盖空腔。本申请不需为了使电解液充分浸润电极组件而在第一层对应于空腔的位置设置开孔,从而减小了第一导电区的焊印经上述开孔接触第二极片并对电化学装置寿命产生影响的短能性。
在一些可能的实现方式中,壳体还包括连接于侧壁且与第一壁相对设置的第二壁。第二壁上设有与第二壁电性绝缘的导电件。电极组件还包括电连接于第二极片的第二导电板,第二导电板连接导电件。如此,第一壁和导电件呈现相反的电极性,使得电化学装置可以为外部元件供电。
在一些可能的实现方式中,电化学装置为扣式电池,从第一方向观察,电极组件的边缘大致为圆形。由于扣式电池一般体积较小,在这种实施方式下不需要通过减小电极组件尺寸的方式减小第一层对第一导电板的弯折处的挤压,有利于提升能量密度。
本申请第二方面还提供一种电子装置,其包括如上电化学装置。电子装置通过上述电化学装置供电,且电化学装置通过设置第二边相较于第一边更远离电极组件的边缘,降低了第一导电板发生断裂的可能性,从而维持较高的可靠性和使用寿命。

请一并参照图3和图4,电化学装置100还包括第一导电板30。其中图3为图1B所示的电化学装置沿III-III的剖视图,图4为图3所示的电化学装置于A处的放大图。结合 图1A和图1B可知,当沿着III-III作电化学装置100的横截面时,该横截面经过第一导电板30,即图3和图4示出的横截面包含第一导电板30。第一导电板30包括相连接的第一导电区31和第二导电区32。第二导电区32相较于第一导电区31弯折。结合参照图2B和图2C所示,第一导电区31连接第一极片21(如,连接第一极片21的第一集流体210),第一导电区31可以沿着第一方向X伸出第一极片21。第二导电区32连接第一壁11。在第一方向X上,第二导电区32设于第一壁11和电极组件20之间。其中,第二导电区32包括连接于第一导电区31的第一端部321和背离第一端部321的第二端部322,第二导电区32自第一端部321沿着第二方向Y延伸。如,第二方向Y为从第一端部321至第二端部322的方向。从垂直于第一方向X和第二方向Y的第三方向Z观察,第一导电板30于第一端部321处发生弯折,第一导电区31可大致垂直于第二导电区32。从第一方向X观察,第一导电区31和第二导电区32之间的弯折处与电极组件20存在重叠。其中,如图4所示,第一导电板30包括朝向壳体10的第一面301和朝向电极组件20的第二面302。由于第一导电板30发生弯折,因此第一面301和第二面302并非平面,第一面301和第二面302分别为弯折的面。
在一些实施例中,第一集流体210包括第一部分2100,第一部分2100的第一表面2101与第一活性物质层211相离,第一导电区31连接于第一部分2100的第一表面2101。通过设置第一导电区31连接于与第一活性物质层211相离的第一部分2100,减小了第一导电区31在第二方向Y上对电化学装置100能量密度的影响,也减小了第一导电区31对电极组件20整体的平整度的影响。进一步地,在第二方向Y上,第一导电区31可设于第一部分2100朝向侧壁13的表面(即第一部分2100的第一表面2101)。通过设置第一导电区31设于第一部分2100朝向侧壁13的表面,由于第一部分2100的阻挡,可减小第一导电区31的毛刺(如,毛刺可以是第一导电板30在裁切过程中形成,但本申请不作限制)刺穿隔离膜23、导致第一极片21和第二极片22直接接触引发短路的可能性。第一部分2100的第二表面2102也可以与第二活性物质层212相离,第一部分2100此时可以为第一极片21的尾部空箔区。为提高连接强度,可以设置第一导电区31焊接于第一部分2100的第一表面2101,且第二导电区32焊接于第一壁11。
在一些实施例中,从第一方向X观察,第二导电区32与电极组件20的卷绕中心轴O存在重叠。由于第二导电区32延伸至与卷绕中心轴O重叠,第二导电区32在第二方向Y上具有较大的尺寸,有利于提高第二导电区32和第一壁11之间的连接强度。
请参照图5,电化学装置100还包括第二导电板40。其中图5为图1B所示的电化学装置沿V-V的剖视图。结合图1A和图1B可知,当沿着V-V作电化学装置100的横截面时,该横截面经过第二导电板40,即图5示出的横截面包含第二导电板40。第二导电板40包括相连接的第三导电区41和第四导电区42。第三导电区41连接第二极片22(如连接第二极片22的第二集流体220),第三导电区41可以沿着第一方向X伸出第二极片22。第四导电区42连接导电件14(如,连接导电件14的导电部141)。在第一方向X上,第四导电区42设于第二壁12和电极组件20之间。其中,第四导电区42包括连接于第三导电 区41的第三端部421和背离第三端部421的第四端部422,第四导电区42自第三端部421沿着第二方向Y延伸。
在一些实施例中,第二集流体220包括第二部分2200,第二部分2200第三表面2201与第三活性物质层221相离,第三导电区41连接于第二部分2200的第三表面2201。通过设置第三导电区41连接于与第三活性物质层221相离的第二部分2200,减小了第三导电区41在第二方向Y上对电化学装置100能量密度的影响,也减小了第三导电区41对电极组件20整体的平整度的影响。第二部分2200的第四表面2202也可以与第四活性物质层222相离,第二部分2200此时可以为第二极片22的尾部空箔区。为提高连接强度,可以设置第三导电区41焊接于第二部分2200的第三表面2201,第四导电区42焊接于导电件14。
通过设置第二导电区32连接第一壁11以及设置第四导电区42连接导电件14,第一壁11和导电件14呈现相反的电极性,使得电化学装置100可以为外部元件(图未示)供电。其中,当第一极片21为负极极片且第二极片22为正极极片时,第一壁11、侧壁13和第二壁12整体呈负极性,导电件14呈正极性。
如图3至图5所示,电化学装置100还包括包含绝缘材料的第一层50。在第一方向X上,第一层50设于电极组件20以及第二导电区32之间。第一层50用于隔绝电极组件20和第一壁11,减小第二极片22与第一壁11直接接触导致短路的可能性。第一层50还可覆盖第二导电区32的毛刺(如,毛刺可以是第一导电板30在裁切过程中形成,但本申请不作限制),减小上述毛刺刺穿隔离膜23、导致第一极片21和第二极片22直接接触导致短路的可能性。其中,第一层50的绝缘材料可以选自聚丙烯、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。
如图4所示,在一些实施例中,第一层50包括朝向第一壁11的第五表面501和朝向电极组件20的第六表面502。第五表面501和第六表面502相对设置。第一层50的第五表面501包括第一凹部503,且第一凹部503沿第一方向X未贯穿第六表面502。至少部分第二导电区32设于第一凹部503内,且第二导电区32的第二面302与第一凹部503的底面相接。在第一方向X上,第二导电区32的第二面302位于第一层50的第五表面501和第六表面502之间。为便于将第二导电区32焊接于第一壁11,在第一方向X上,第二导电区32的第一面301可相较于第一层50的第五表面501更远离电极组件20。如图4所示,可以设置包含第二端部322的部分第二导电区32设于第一凹部503内。第一层50在第一凹部503处与第二导电区32相接。如此,在保证第一层50厚度的前提下,可以减小第二导电区32和第一层50在第一方向X上的总厚度,从而有利于提升能量密度。其中,请进一步参照图6和图7,从第一方向X观察,第一凹部503的边缘可与第二导电区32的边缘存在重叠。如此,在使得部分第二导电区32能够设于第一凹部503内的前提下,还减小了第一凹部503尺寸过大对第一层50隔绝效果的影响,从而使得第一层50在开设第一凹部503后能够充分隔绝电极组件20和第一壁11。
请参阅图6和图7,从第一方向X观察,第一层50包括沿电极组件20的边缘弯曲延伸的第一边51以及连接于第一边51的第二边52。图6和图7示出电极组件20的最外层即隔离膜23,隔离膜23为从第一方向X观察时电极组件20的边缘。其中,可以将从第一方向X观察时电极组件20的边缘划分为相连接的第一段20a和第二段20b(从第一方向X观察,电极组件20的边缘与第二边52相较于第一交点P1和第二交点P2,第一交点P1和第二交点P2将电极组件20的边缘划分为第一段20a和第二段20b),第一边51与第一段20a相对设置,第二边52与第二段20b相对设置。本申请中,第一边51沿电极组件20的边缘弯曲延伸,指的是第一边51的延伸方向与第一段20a的延伸方向一致或基本一致。当从第一方向X观察电极组件20的边缘大致呈圆形时,第一段20a为弧段,即弯曲的圆周的一部分,第一边51也可以对应地设置为弧段。当电极组件20的边缘形状变更时,第一边51的形状也可以有所不同。如图6和图7所示,为了使第一层50充分隔绝第二极片22与第一壁11,从第一方向X观察,第一边51可以位于电极组件20外部,此时第一边51所界定的圆周的半径大于第一段20a所界定的圆周的半径,且第一边51与第一段20a之间的距离沿着第一边51的延伸方向可以保持一致或基本一致。在另一些实施例中,从第一方向X观察时,第一边51也可以与第一段20a大致重合。
从第一方向X观察,第二边52与电极组件20存在重叠,第二边52相较于第一边51更远离电极组件20的边缘。因此,第二边52偏离第一边51所界定的圆周,第二边52位于第一边51所界定的圆周的内部。第二边52可以为直线,也可以包含曲线部分。在一些实施例中,第二边52为直线且沿着第三方向Z延伸。从第一方向X观察,第二导电区32的第一端部321与第一层50在第二方向Y上相距设置,第二端部322和第一层50存在重叠。从第一方向X观察,第二导电区32自第一端部321沿着第二方向Y延伸至超出第二边52。其中,由于第二边52相较于第一边51更远离电极组件20的边缘,第二边52偏离第一边51界定的圆周,因此第一层50从第一方向X观察时具有缺口C,第二边52即为缺口C的边缘。从第一方向X观察,第二导电区32的第一端部321可以位于缺口C内,从而可以降低第一端部321与侧壁13接触摩擦的可能性。
如图6和图7所示,在一些实施例中,第二边52在第三方向Z上的尺寸为d2,第二导电区32在第三方向Z上的尺寸为d,则d2>d。因此,可以使得第一层50充分覆盖第二导电区32,减小第二导电区32的毛刺刺穿隔离膜23、导致第一极片21和第二极片22直接接触短路的可能性。而且由于第二边52尺寸较大,因此第一层50能够充分隔绝第二极片22和第一壁11,减小第二极片22和第一壁11直接接触短路的可能性。
其中,d、d2的测量步骤可以是:(1)采用X射线从第一方向X对电化学装置100进行二维投影和扫描测试,仪器可以采用本领域技术人员公知的仪器或设备(例如GE Phoenixvtomex S设备),从而获得CT图;(2)采用卡尺或其它合适的量具直接测量d、d2的数值。
d、d2的测量步骤还可以是:(1)将电化学装置100以0.2C放电至2.75V;(2)沿垂直于第一方向X的截面切割壳体10的侧壁13临近第一边缘131的位置,当大部分侧壁13 与第一壁11分离后,将第一壁11相较于第一层50打开,此时第二导电区32仍连接于第一壁11;(3)采用卡尺或其它合适的量具直接测量d、d2的数值。
d、d2的测量步骤还可以是:(1)将电化学装置100以0.2C放电至2.75V;(2)配置树脂组合物,其由水晶胶树脂基体(如环氧树脂)、催化剂及固化剂按照一定比例调配而成;(3)将树脂组合物倒入模具中,并将电化学装置100置于模具中,再继续缓慢倒入树脂组合物,使得将电化学装置100完全浸没于树脂组合物中;(4)将电化学装置100取出,然后静置至树脂组合物凝固;(5)打磨壳体10的第一壁11直至第二导电区32露出于打磨面;(6)采用卡尺或其它合适的量具直接测量d、d2的数值。
如图4和图7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覆盖第一导电板30,从第一方向X观察,第二层60覆盖缺口C,从而进一步减小由于第一层50设置缺口C后可能引发的短路可能性。其中,第二层60包括覆盖第二导电区32的第一区域61。从第一方向X观察,第一区域61覆盖缺口C。在一些实施例中,第二层60覆盖第一导电板30的第二面302,第一区域61在第一方向X上设于第二导电区32和电极组件20之间。第一区域61用于进一步隔绝电极组件20和第一壁11,从而减小第二极片22与第一壁11直接接触导致短路的可能性,当第一区域61在第一方向X上设于第二导电区32和电极组件20之间时,第二层60还可覆盖第二导电区32的毛刺,减小上述毛刺刺穿隔离膜23、导致第一极片21和第二极片22直接接触导致短路的可能性。即,第二层60的第一区域61用于配合第一层50共同隔绝电极组件20和第一壁11以及共同覆盖第二导电区32的毛刺,降低了发生短路的可能性。在本实施例中,第一区域61包括相连接的第一分区611和第二分区612。从第一方向X观察,第一分区611位于第二导电区32和电极组件20之间,第一分区611与缺口C存在重叠。从第一方向X观察,第二分区612与第一层50存在重叠。通过设置第二分区612与第一层50存在重叠,使得第一区域61能够充分覆盖缺口C。第二分区612也可设于第一凹部503内。其中,第二层60的绝缘材料可以选自聚丙烯、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。其中,第二层60可以是包含绝缘材料的单面胶或双面胶。在其它实施例中,第二层60也可以为陶瓷涂层。
如图4和图7所示,第二边52与侧壁13在第二方向Y上的距离为第一距离L,第二分区612具有在第二方向Y上背离第一分区611的第一端6120,第一端6120与侧壁13在第二方向Y上的尺寸为d1,L<d1。可以理解,L为第二边52与位于缺口C背离第二边52一侧的部分侧壁13在第二方向Y上的距离;d1为第一端6120与位于缺口C背离第二边52一侧的部分侧壁13在第二方向Y上的距离。其中,可采用与d、d2相似的测量步骤测量L、d1
如图7所示,在一些实施例中,第二边52在第三方向Z上的尺寸为d2,第一区域61在第三方向Z上的尺寸为d3,d2<d3。如此,可以使得第一区域61在第三方向Z上充分覆盖缺口C,从而使得第一区域61用于配合第一层50共同隔绝电极组件20和第一壁11以及共同覆盖第二导电区32的毛刺,降低了发生短路的可能性。
进一步地,在一些实施例中,第二层60还可包括连接第一区域61的第二区域62。第二区域62用于覆盖第一导电区31的毛刺,进一步减小上述毛刺刺穿隔离膜23、导致第一极片21和第二极片22直接接触导致短路的可能性。可以理解,为简化起见,图7仅示出第二层60的第一区域61,未示出第二层60的第二区域62。
考虑到从第一方向X观察时第一导电区31和第二导电区32之间的弯折处与电极组件20存在重叠,本申请通过设置第二边52相较于第一边51更远离电极组件20的边缘,使得第二边52可以避开第一导电区31和第二导电区32之间的弯折处。如此,当电化学装置100发生机械滥用(如撞击、跌落)时,可以减小第一层50对第一导电区31和第二导电区32之间的弯折处的干涉和挤压,从而减小了第一导电板30上述弯折处在应力作用下发生断裂的可能性并导致电化学装置100失效的可能性,也减小第一导电板30断裂后产生的尖端刺穿隔离膜23、导致第一极片21和第二极片22直接接触引发短路的可能性。因此,电化学装置100的可靠性和使用寿命得到提高。当电化学装置100为扣式电池时,由于扣式电池一般体积较小,这种实施方式下不需要通过减小电极组件20尺寸的方式减小第一层50对第一导电板30的弯折处的挤压(例如,通过减小电极组件20的尺寸,相应增大电极组件20和壳体10之间的间隙,在发生机械滥用时可以为电极组件20提供更大的缓冲空间,减小第一层50对第一导电板30的弯折处的挤压),有利于提升能量密度。
再者,本申请通过设置第二层60的第一区域61覆盖缺口C,因此第一区域61可配合第一层50共同隔绝电极组件20和第一壁11,降低了由于第一层50设置缺口C后可能引发的短路可能性。另外,由于第一区域61覆盖第一层50的第二边52,因此第二层60还可减小第二边52处发生起翘的可能性,且使得第一层50不容易在壳体10内移动。
请一并参阅图4、图7和图8,在一些实施例中,第二层60为粘接于第一导电板30的单面胶。第二层60包括层叠的胶粘层601和基材602。胶粘层601包含绝缘材料。基材602通过胶粘层601粘接于第一导电板30。通过设置第二层60覆盖第一层50的缺口C,由于第二层60未粘接电极组件20,注液后位于第一层50和第一壁11之间的电解液可以流经缺口C并充分浸润电极组件20,从而改善循环过程中的界面,降低了由于析锂、黑斑、紫斑等引起的容量衰减,提升了电化学装置100的循环性能。进一步地,在一些实施例中,可以设置0.4d1<L<d1,从而减小了L值过小时缺口C尺寸较小、注液后位于第一层50和第一壁11之间的电解液不易流经缺口C并充分浸润电极组件20的可能性,因此提高了电极组件20的浸润效果,从而改善循环过程中的界面、降低了由于析锂、黑斑、紫斑等引起的容量衰减。其中,基材602的材质选自聚酰亚胺或聚对苯二甲酸乙二脂的至少一种。胶粘层601的绝缘材料可选自丁二烯,异戊二烯、苯乙烯、甲基丙烯酸甲酯、甲基丙烯酸丁酯、丙烯酸异辛酯或丙烯酸丁酯的至少一种。
由于通过设置第二层60为粘接于第一导电板30的单面胶并可进一步合理设置d1和L的关系,使得注液后位于第一层50和第一壁11之间的电解液可以流经缺口C并充分浸润电极组件20,因此在一些实施例中,可以设置从第一方向X观察时,第一层50覆盖电极组件20的空腔S2。即,本申请不需为了使电解液充分浸润电极组件20而在第一层50对 应于空腔S2的位置设置开孔,从而减小了第一导电区31的焊印或焊渣经上述开孔接触第二极片22并对电化学装置100寿命产生影响的可能性。
如图3和图4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三层70。第三层70覆盖第一导电板30的第一面301,从第一方向X观察,第三层70覆盖至少部分缺口C,从而进一步减小由于第一层50设置缺口C后可能引发的短路可能性。其中,第三层70包括在第一方向X上设于第二导电区32和第一壁11之间的第三区域71。从第一方向X观察,第三区域71覆盖至少部分缺口C。第三区域71用于进一步隔绝电极组件20和第一壁11,从而减小第二极片22与第一壁11直接接触导致短路的可能性。即,第三层70的第三区域71用于配合第一层50共同隔绝电极组件20和第一壁11,降低了发生短路的可能性。在本实施例中,第三区域71包括相连接的第三分区711和第四分区712。从第一方向X观察,第三分区711与缺口C存在重叠。从第一方向X观察,第四分区712与第一层50存在重叠。通过设置第四分区712与第一层50存在重叠,使得第三区域71和第一区域61能够共同充分覆盖缺口C,进一步减小短路的可能性。其中,第三层70的绝缘材料可以选自聚丙烯、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。
其中,第四分区712具有在第二方向Y背离第三分区711的第二端7120,第二端7120与侧壁13在第二方向Y上的尺寸为d5,L<d5。在一些实施例中,d5可大致等于d1。可以理解,d5为第二端7120与位于缺口C背离第二边52一侧的部分侧壁13在第二方向Y上的距离。
如图4和图6所示,在一些实施例中,第一壁11的半径为R(可以理解,图6示出的侧壁13的半径R即为第一壁11的半径),则d5<0.4R。如此,可以减小第三区域71对第二导电板40与第一壁11之间的连接区域(如,焊接区域)的影响,即减小第三区域71干涉到上述连接区域、导致连接区域失效的可能性。
在一些实施例中,第二边52在第三方向Z上的尺寸为d2,第三区域71在第三方向Z上的尺寸为d4,d2<d4。如此,可以使得第三区域71在第三方向Z上充分覆盖缺口C,从而使得第三区域71用于配合第一层50共同隔绝电极组件20和第一壁11,降低了发生短路的可能性。在一些实施例中,d4可大致等于d3
如图4和图6所示,进一步地,在一些实施例中,第三层70还可包括连接第三区域71的第四区域72。如图4所示,在第二方向Y上,第四区域72位于第一导电区31的第一面301。第四区域72用于覆盖第一导电区31的毛刺或焊印。其中,第三层70可以是包含绝缘材料的单面胶或双面胶。在其它实施例中,第三层70也可以为陶瓷涂层。可以理解,为简化起见,图6仅示出第三层70的第三区域71,未示出第三层70的第四区域72。
如图3至图5所示,在一些实施例中,电化学装置100还可包括包含绝缘材料的第四层80。在第一方向X上,第四层80设于电极组件20以及侧壁13之间。第四层80可减小第二极片22与侧壁13直接接触(如,第二极片22的毛刺刺穿最外层的隔离膜23并与侧壁13接触)导致短路的可能性。如图2A所示,第四层80可以为连续的环形结构。在一 些实施例中,第四层80的绝缘材料可以选自聚丙烯、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。
请参阅图9,本申请另一实施方式还提供一种电化学装置200,与上述电化学装置100不同之处在于,第二边52包括弯曲部。考虑第一层50在切割缺口C时可能在第二边52上形成豁口,通过设置第二边52包括弯曲部,可减小在第一层50的安装过程中上述豁口进一步扩大形成裂纹的可能性。
请参阅图10,本申请另一实施方式还提供一种电化学装置300,与上述电化学装置100不同之处在于,第一壁11与第二壁12电性隔绝。例如,侧壁13和第二壁12可一体成型,第二壁12和侧壁13之间可通过第二绝缘层16粘接固定,第二绝缘层16使得第一壁11和侧壁13之间电性隔绝,第一壁11和第二壁12之间也电性隔绝。
此时,第二导电板40的第四导电区42连接第二壁12。第一壁11和第二壁12呈现相反的电极性,使得电化学装置300可以为外部元件供电。其中,当第一极片21为负极极片且第二极片22为正极极片时,第一壁11和侧壁13呈负极性,第二壁12呈正极性。
其中,本申请的电化学装置100、200、300包括所有能够发生电化学反应的装置。具体的,电化学装置100、200、300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100、200、300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11,本申请一实施方式还提供一种电子装置1,包括上述电化学装置100(或电化学装置200、300)。电子装置1通过上述电化学装置100供电,且电化学装置100通过设置第二边52相较于第一边51更远离电极组件20的边缘,降低了第一导电板30发生断裂的可能性,从而维持较高的可靠性和使用寿命。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提供的电化学装置100的性能进行说明。其中,以电化学装置100为扣式锂离子电池为例并结合具体制备过程和测试方法对本申请进行说明,本领域技术人员应理解,本申请中描述的制备方法仅是实例,其他任何合适的制备方法均在本申请的范围内。
实施例1
(1)第一极片21的制备:将负极活性材料人造石墨、导电炭黑(Super P)、丁苯橡胶(SBR)按照重量比96:1.5:2.5进行混合,加入去离子水作为溶剂,调配成重量百分比为70wt%的浆料,并搅拌均匀。将浆料均匀涂覆在厚度为10μm的负极集流体铜箔的一个表面上,110℃条件下烘干,得到涂层厚度为150μm的单面涂覆有负极活性材料层的负极极片。在该负极极片的另一个表面上重复以上步骤,得到双面涂覆有负极活性材料层的负极极片。接着, 在第一集流体210露出的区域上焊接第一导电板30,并在第一导电板30两侧的焊印上粘贴保护胶,如第二层60和第三层70,第二层60和第三层70分别为单面胶,第二层60的胶粘层和第三层70的胶粘层均朝向第一导电板30设置。
(2)第二极片22的制备:将正极活性材料钴酸锂(LiCoO2)、导电炭黑(Super P)、聚偏二氟乙烯(PVDF)按照重量比97.5:1.0:1.5进行混合,加入N-甲基吡咯烷酮(NMP)作为溶剂,调配成固含量为75wt%的浆料,并搅拌均匀。将浆料均匀涂覆在厚度为12μm的正极集流体铝箔的一个表面上,然后90℃条件下烘干,得到正极活性材料层厚度为100μm的正极极片。将浆料均匀涂覆在该表面上,然后90℃条件下烘干,得到双面涂覆有正极活性材料层的正极极片。接着,在第二集流体220露出的区域上焊接第二导电板40,并在第二导电板40上粘贴保护胶。
(3)电解液的制备:在干燥氩气气氛中,首先将有机溶剂碳酸乙烯酯(EC)、碳酸甲乙酯(EMC)和碳酸二乙酯(DEC)以质量比EC:EMC:DEC=30:50:20混合,然后向有机溶剂中加入锂盐六氟磷酸锂(LiPF6)溶解并混合均匀,得到锂盐的浓度为1.15mol/L的电解液。
(4)电池的制备:将第一极片21、隔离膜23和第二极片22依次层叠卷绕得到电极组件20,隔离膜23选用厚度为15μm的聚乙烯(PE)膜。然后将第一层50和电极组件20依次置于第一壁11和侧壁13形成的容纳腔S1内,将第一导电板30和第二导电板40分别进行弯折、焊接,其中第一层50的第二边52相较于第一边51更远离电极组件20的边缘,使得第二边52可以避开第一导电板30的弯折处,且第二层60延长至第一区域61和第一层50在第一方向X上存在重叠,并满足L=0.3d1。最后进行注液、封装,得到电池。
实施例2-4
与实施例1不同之处在于L与d1的关系。
实施例5
与实施例1不同之处在于,第三层70也延长至和第一层50在第一方向X上存在重叠。
对比例
与实施例1不同之处在于从第一方向X观察,第二层60的第一区域61与第一层50不重叠,且L=1.1d1
对各实施例和对比例的电池进行跌落测试、滚筒跌落测试和循环测试,对应的测试结果记录于表1和表2中。
其中,跌落测试步骤如下:
1)在25±5℃的环境条件下,将电池在0.2C下充电至充电限制电压;2)将电池放入专用跌落测试夹具内,以机械臂抓取样品,将电池的底面、侧面、顶面为一轮依次从高度为1.8m的位置跌落至大理石板上,共计跌落3轮即9次;3)每一轮跌落后观察电芯是否有破损,漏液,并测量电池的开路电压和内阻(测试仪器为电压电阻测试仪,厂家:东莞市立佳精密仪器有限公司,型号:LNG-SY1-0020-DQ),若电压小于3.0V即判定为电池失效;若未出现破损和漏液等情况,且开路电压高于3.0V即判定为未失效,继续跌落至电 池失效,然后记录电池失效时已进行的跌落次数。
滚筒跌落测试步骤如下:
1)在25±5℃的环境条件下,将电池在0.2C下充电至充电限制电压;2)将电池放入专用滚筒跌落测试夹具内,以5圈/min的转速从高度为1m的位置跌落500圈(2次跌落为一圈),每5圈滚筒跌落后观察电池是否有破损,漏液,并测量电池的开路电压和内阻,若电压小于3.0V即判定为电池失效;若未出现破损和漏液等情况,且开路电压高于3.0V即判定为未失效,继续跌落至电池失效,然后记录电池失效时已进行的跌落次数。
循环测试步骤如下:
1)将电池置于25℃恒温箱中,静置30分钟,使电池达到恒温;2)将电池以1C恒流充电至电压为3.65V,然后以3.65V恒压充电至电流为0.05C,接着以1C恒流放电至电压为2.5V,此为一个充放电循环,首次放电的容量为100%;3)反复进行1000次充放电循环,记录电池的放电容量,然后计算电池的容量保持率;4)通过CT图观察电极组件20是否发生变形,然后拆解电池并观察第一极片21的界面情况。
表1
从表1测试结果可知,相较于对比例,实施例1通过设置第一层50的第二边52相较于第一边51更远离电极组件20的边缘,使得第二边52可以避开第一导电板30的弯折处,且第二层60延长至第一区域61和第一层50在第一方向X上存在重叠,因此在跌落测试和滚筒跌落测试中失效时已跌落次数提高,即实施例1的电池可靠性和使用寿命提升。
表2
从表2测试结果可知,相较于实施例2-4,实施例1的L值较小,在跌落测试和滚筒跌落测试中失效时已跌落次数相差不大。然而由于实施例1的L值较小,因此缺口C尺寸较小,注液后位于第一层50和第一壁11之间的电解液不易流经缺口C并充分浸润电极组件20,因此第一极片21发生轻微紫斑,引起容量衰减。实施例5由于将第三层70也延长至和第一层50在第一方向X上存在重叠,第三层70的胶粘层在跌落测试时至少部分会粘接至电极组件20,使得注液后位于第一层50和第一壁11之间的电解液不易流经缺口C并 充分浸润电极组件20,因此第一极片21也发生轻微紫斑,引起容量衰减。
以上所揭露的仅为本申请较佳实施方式而已,当然不能以此来限定本申请,因此依本申请所作的等同变化,仍属本申请所涵盖的范围。
