DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0028] The following describes embodiments of this application with reference to the accompanying drawings in embodiments of this application.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 1, an embodiment of this application provides a secondary battery 100. The secondary battery 100 includes a battery cell assembly, and the battery cell assembly includes a positive electrode plate 10, a negative electrode plate 20, a separator 30 disposed between the positive electrode plate 10 and the negative electrode plate 20, and an electrolyte 40.

The negative electrode plate 20 includes a negative electrode current collector 21 and a negative electrode active material layer 22 disposed on the negative electrode current collector 21. An elongation rate of the separator is greater than 100%. An elongation rate of the current collector in the positive electrode plate 10 and/or the negative electrode plate 20 and a thickness of the active material layer have the following relationship with the elongation rate of the separator: A ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to a thickness of the positive electrode active material layer 12 is 3.0%/.Math.m to 8.0%/.Math.m; a ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to an elongation rate of the positive electrode current collector 11 is greater than or equal to 60; and/or a ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to a thickness of the negative electrode active material layer 22 is 3.0%/.Math.m to 8.0%/.Math.m, and a ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to an elongation rate of the negative electrode current collector 21 is greater than or equal to 60.

[0030] In some embodiments of this application, the secondary battery 100 may further include a plurality of stacked battery cell assemblies. Because a foreign matter generally pierces inwards from the outermost side of the battery when the battery is damaged by an external mechanical force, to improve battery safety, a positive electrode plate and/or a negative electrode plate, and a separator in the outermost battery cell assembly of the secondary battery are at least configured as follows: An elongation rate of the separator is greater than 100%, a ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the thickness of the active material layer is 3.0%/.Math.m to 8.0%/.Math.m, and a ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the elongation rate of the current collector is greater than or equal to 60. Certainly, to further enhance safety of the battery, in some embodiments of this application, positive electrode plates and/or negative electrode plates and separators in a plurality of (two or more) battery cell assemblies are configured in the foregoing manner. In some embodiments of this application, alternatively, positive electrode plates and/or negative electrode plates and separators in the plurality of battery cell assemblies are all configured as follows: An elongation rate of the separator is greater than 100%, a ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the thickness of the active material layer is 3.0%/.Math.m to 8.0%/.Math.m, and a ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the elongation rate of the current collector is greater than or equal to 60.

[0031] In some embodiments of this application, the positive electrode current collector 11 and the positive electrode active material layer 12 in the positive electrode plate 10, and the separator 30 are configured in the foregoing manner as follows: An elongation rate of the separator is greater than 100%, a ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the thickness of the active material layer is 3.0%/.Math.m to 8.0%/.Math.m, and a ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the elongation rate of the current collector is greater than or equal to 60. In some other embodiments of this application, the negative electrode current collector 21 and the negative electrode active material layer 22 in the negative electrode plate 20, and the separator 30 are configured in the foregoing manner. In some other embodiments of this application, alternatively, the positive electrode current collector 11 and the positive electrode active material layer 12 in the positive electrode plate 10, and the separator 30 are configured in the foregoing manner, and the negative electrode current collector 21 and the negative electrode active material layer 22 in the negative electrode plate 20, and the separator 30 are configured in the foregoing manner.

[0032] In this application, a separator with a high elongation rate is selected and the elongation rate of the current collector, the elongation rate of the separator, and the thickness of the active material layer are properly designed for the secondary battery, thereby improving battery safety. As shown in FIG. 2, when the secondary battery is pierced by a needle-shaped conductor or another foreign matter, the separator, with a higher elongation rate than the current collector and the active material layer, can effectively extend and wrap the needle-shaped conductor or another foreign matter, as well as scraps, generated in the destruction, of the current collector and active material layer. This prevents contact between the positive and negative electrode current collectors, the positive and negative electrode active materials, and the scraps to cause an internal short circuit, so that occurrence of the internal short circuit is prevented in advance, chain reactions including thermal runaway are avoided from the source, and battery safety is improved. The secondary battery, when having a high energy density (≥600 Wh/l), can obtain high safety.

[0033] In an embodiment of this application, the elongation rate of the separator includes an elongation rate in a length direction and/or an elongation rate in a width direction. In other words, in some embodiments of this application, the separator may have an elongation rate greater than 100% only in the length direction; in some other embodiments of this application, the separator may have an elongation rate greater than 100% only in the width direction; or in some other embodiments, the separator may have an elongation rate greater than 100% in both the length direction and the width direction.

[0034] In some embodiments of this application, the elongation rate of the separator may alternatively be greater than or equal to 120%. In some other embodiments of this application, the elongation rate of the separator is greater than or equal to 150%. In some embodiments, the elongation rate of the separator may be, for example, 100% to 300%. In a scenario of mechanical abuse of the battery, the selected separator with a high elongation rate, under the action of a foreign matter, extends and wraps the foreign matter and resulting scraps, maximally avoiding contact between the scraps of the damaged current collector and the active materials, as well as direct contact between the scraps of the current collector, and improving safety of the secondary battery. The separator with a higher elongation rate can better play a protective role when the battery is pierced by a foreign matter, avoiding occurrence of thermal runaway.

[0035] In some embodiments of this application, the ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the thickness of the active material layer is 4.0%/.Math.m to 6.0%/.Math.m. With an appropriate ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the thickness of the active material layer, when the battery is damaged by an external mechanical force, for example, the battery is pierced by a foreign matter, the separator can extend to a specific length and wrap the foreign matter and various scraps, to reduce or avoid occurrence of an internal short circuit. In addition, a high energy density can be obtained, so that both battery safety and high energy density are achieved.

[0036] In some embodiments of this application, the ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the elongation rate of the current collector is greater than or equal to 70. In some other embodiments of this application, the ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the elongation rate of the current collector is greater than or equal to 90. With the ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the elongation rate of the current collector controlled at a high value, when the battery is pierced by a foreign matter, the separator can extend to a specific length and wrap the foreign matter and various scraps, to reduce or avoid occurrence of an internal short circuit. In addition, current collector scraps can be reduced or avoided to some extent.

[0052] It can be learned from the test results that, for a lithium cobalt oxide-graphite battery system, under a condition that the battery is designed to have a high energy density of 695 Wh/l and fast charging performance of 80.7% SOC in 30 min, the battery gets a high pass rate in the nail piercing test when a separator with an elongation rate greater than 100% is selected and it is ensured that the ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the thickness of the active material layer (the positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer) is within a range from 3.0%/.Math.m to 8.0%/.Math.m, and that the ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the elongation rate of the current collector is greater than or equal to 60. It can also be learned from Embodiments 17 to 19 that, when only a ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the thickness of the positive electrode active material layer is within the range from 3.0%/.Math.m to 8.0%/.Math.m, but a ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the thickness of the negative electrode active material layer is beyond the range, the battery can also get a high pass rate in the nail piercing test, that is, the battery still has high safety. This is mainly because a short circuit between the positive electrode current collector and the negative electrode active material is the biggest risk factor leading to thermal runaway, and proper design of the positive electrode and the separator can better improve battery safety. The Comparative Example 1 fails the nail piercing test because the elongation rate of the separator, the ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the thickness of the active material layer, and the ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the elongation rate of the current collector do not meet design requirements of this embodiment of this application.

[0064] It can be learned from the test data that, the battery of each of Embodiments 20 to 29 gets a high pass rate in the battery nail piercing test because a separator with a high elongation rate is selected, and the ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the thickness of the active material layer and the ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the elongation rate of the current collector are within the range of this embodiment of this application. In Comparative Example 2, although the elongation rate of the selected separator and the ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the elongation rate of the current collector are the same as those of Embodiments 20 to 29, the ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the thickness of the active material layer does not meet the design requirements of this embodiment of this application. Therefore, the battery gets a low pass rate in the battery nail piercing test.

[0090] It can be learned from the test data that, the battery of each of Embodiments 40 to 50 gets a high pass rate in the battery nail piercing test because a separator with a high elongation rate is selected, and the ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the thickness of the active material layer and the ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the elongation rate of the current collector are within the range of this embodiment of this application. In Comparative Examples 3 to 5, although the elongation rate of the selected separator and the ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the thickness of the active material layer are the same as those of Embodiments 40 to 50, the ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the elongation rate of the current collector is less than 60, which does not meet the design requirements of this embodiment of this application. Therefore, the battery fails the nail piercing test.

[0091] Performance test methods for the battery electrode plates and the secondary battery in the foregoing embodiments and comparative examples of this application are as follows: [0092] 1. Thickness test of an active material layer: Five points were randomly selected in each of left, middle, and right areas on an active material membrane, and then a micrometer caliper was used to measure a thickness. An average value of the thicknesses was taken as a thickness of the active material layer. [0093] 2. Elongation rate test: Sample strips with a width of 15 mm and a length of 100 mm were prepared in MD and TD directions of a sample. Each sample strip was held by upper and lower ends of a tensile machine for testing with a stretching speed of 50 mm/min and a spacing of 40 mm. An initial length L0 of the sample strip and a final elongated length L when the sample strip is pulled off were recorded; and according to (L-L0)/L0*100%, MD and TD elongation rates of the sample strip were calculated. [0094] 3. Energy density test: The battery was placed in a 25° C. thermostat; stood for 30 minutes; was charged at a constant current of 0.5 C to a voltage of 4.45 V, then charged at a constant voltage of 4.45 V to a current of 0.025 C, and discharged at a current of 0.5 C to a voltage of 3.0 V; and discharge energy was recorded. Energy density=discharge energy/(battery length*battery width*battery thickness). [0095] 4. Fast charging test: The battery was placed in a 25° C. thermostat; stood for 30 minutes; was charged at a constant current of 2.0 C to a voltage of 4.25 V, then charged at a constant current of 1.5 C to 4.45 V, and then charged at a constant voltage of 4.45 V to a current of 0.025 C; and SOC was recorded after charging for 30 min. [0096] 5. Nail piercing test: The battery was placed in a 25° C. thermostat; stood for 30 minutes; was discharged at a current of 0.7 C to a voltage of 3.0 V; was set aside for 5 minutes; then was charged at a constant current of 0.7 C to a voltage of 4.45 V; and then was charged at a constant voltage of 4.45 V to a current of 0.025 C. Then, the battery was placed in a 25° C. explosion-proof box. A steel nail was used to pierce a central part of the cell at a speed of 150 mm/s until the nail penetrated through the cell, and the nail was kept still for 10 min and then taken out. A test pass rate was recorded.

[0097] It is shown with reference to the test results of Embodiments 1 to 50, Comparative Examples 1 to 3, and Tables 1 to 4 that, on a premise that an energy density (>600 Wh/l) and a fast charging capability (80% SOC in 30 min) of the battery are ensured, when the ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the thickness of the active material layer is 3.0%/.Math.m to 8.0%/.Math.m, and the ratio of the elongation rate of the separator to the elongation rate of the current collector is greater than or equal to 60, a nail piercing pass rate of the battery can be effectively increased and battery safety is improved.
