为了降低电池单体内的短路风险,提出了一种集流体,该集流体包括绝缘基体以及覆盖于绝缘基体的表面的金属层,活性物质层覆盖于金属层背向绝缘基体的表面,金属层的厚度通常设置较小(例如:在几百纳米到几微米之间),使得异物刺穿极片过程中,金属层产生的毛刺较小,不容易刺穿隔膜。其中,金属层与外壳上的电极引出部连接,以用于输出或者输入电池单体的电能。然而,金属层的厚度较小,金属层与电极流出部的连接部分的截面积小,造成金属层与电极流出部的连接部分的过流能力差,不利于电池单体的快充性能提升。
基于此,本申请实施例提供了一种技术方案,其通过将金属层设计成厚度不一致的结构,即与电极引出部连接的导电部的厚度大于导电主体部的厚度,通过增加导电部的厚度,有利于提高导电部的过流面积,提高导电部的过流能力,提升金属层的过流能力,减少了电池单体的产热,有利于提高电池单体的充放电效率,提高电池单体的快充性能。
