Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF DISCLOSED EMBODIMENTS

[0017] Hereinafter, embodiments of the disclosure are described in detail. However, the embodiments are exemplary. The disclosure is not limited thereto, and the disclosure is defined by the scope of the claims.

[0018] A current collector protective glue in this embodiment is selected by a material, that is, the current collector protective glue includes a solvent and an adhesive. The solvent is selected from one or more of water, ethanol, 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone, acetone, and butanone, while the adhesive is selected from one or more of cellulose, polyacrylic acid, styrene-butadiene rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, and nitrile rubber. In this way, the current collector protective glue may cover a current collector (such as a pole tab and a pole lug) to reduce the probability of side reactions, effectively protect the current collector, and avoid the current collector from contacting electrolyte and not participating in an electric core reaction. Therefore, service life and performance of an electric core may be improved. It should be noted that as long as the solvent and the adhesive are selected from at least one of the above categories, the solvent and the adhesive fall within the scope of the disclosure.

[0019] Further, the side reaction may be a corrosion reaction in which the electrolyte in the electric core corrodes the current collector (such as metal). Therefore, when the side reaction occurs, the current collector protective glue will be destroyed or even dissolved, thereby reducing protective efficacy of the current collector protective glue. In this embodiment, since the selected material of the adhesive is substantially not corroded by the electrolyte, the probability of side reactions may be reduced to effectively protect the current collector and avoid the current collector from contacting the electrolyte and not participating in the electric core reaction. Therefore, the service life and performance of the electric core may be improved.

[0020] In some embodiments, a weight percentage of the solvent in the current collector protective glue ranges from 30% to 95%. For example, the weight percentage of the solvent in the current collector protective glue may be 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 95%, or any value from 30% to 95%. A weight percentage of the adhesive in the current collector protective glue ranges from 5% to 70%. For example, the weight percentage of the adhesive in the current collector protective glue may be 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70% or any value from 5% to 70%. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0021] In some embodiments, the current collector protective glue may be formed by liquid heating and curing. In other words, the current collector protective glue may be first coated, adhered, or poured on the current collector in a liquid form to completely cover the current collector. Next, heating is performed to cure a liquid material to form a thin film. Therefore, the current collector protective glue in this embodiment is not in a form of a sheet. For example, the current collector protective glue in this embodiment is a non-attached tape. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0022] In some embodiments, the weight percentage of the solvent in the current collector protective glue and the weight percentage of the adhesive in the current collector protective glue are optionally designed. For example, the weight percentage of the adhesive in the current collector protective glue is greater than the weight percentage of the solvent in the current collector protective glue. Therefore, fluidity of the uncured liquid current collector protective glue may be reduced to reduce difficulties in operation. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto. The weight percentage of the adhesive in the current collector protective glue and a weight percentage of the current collector protective glue may depend on actual design requirements.

[0023] In some embodiments, the current collector protective glue is an insulating material to avoid short circuit caused by the current collector protective glue due to conduction. For example, a resistance value of the current collector protective glue is at least greater than 10.sup.9 ohm/meter (Ω/m). However, the disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0024] In some embodiments, the current collector protective glue is only formed by the solvent and the adhesive. In other words, the current collector protective glue may substantially not have additives other than the solvent and the adhesive, but the disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0025] In some embodiments, the current collector protective glue may be matched in the following combinations, as shown in Table 1.

TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 Combinations Solvent Adhesive 1 water cellulose, styrene butadiene rubber 2 water, 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone polyacrylic acid, styrene butadiene rubber 3 ethanol, 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone cellulose, polyacrylic acid, nitrile rubber 4 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone, butanone cellulose, polyacrylic acid, styrene-butadiene rubber

[0026] It should be noted that the above combinations are only exemplary, and the current collector protective glue in the disclosure may be arbitrarily combined with the above solvent and adhesive in a suitable ratio, as long as the current collector protective glue includes at least one solvent and at least one adhesive. It falls within the scope of the disclosure that the solvent is selected from one or more of water, ethanol, 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone, acetone, and butanone, and the adhesive is selected from one or more of cellulose, polyacrylic acid, styrene-butadiene rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, and nitrile rubber.

[0027] Based on the above, the current collector protective glue in the disclosure is selected by the material, that is, the current collector protective glue includes the solvent and the adhesive. The solvent is selected from one or more of water, ethanol, 1-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone, acetone, and butanone, while the adhesive is selected from one or more of cellulose, polyacrylic acid, styrene-butadiene rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, and nitrile rubber. In this way, the current collector protective glue may cover the current collector more completely to reduce the probability of side reactions, effectively protect the current collector, and avoid the current collector from contacting the electrolyte and not participating in the electric core reaction. Therefore, the service life and performance of the electric core may be improved.

[0028] Although the disclosure has been described with reference to the above embodiments, they are not intended to limit the disclosure. It will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that modifications to the described embodiments may be made without departing from the spirit and the scope of the disclosure. Accordingly, the scope of the disclosure will be defined by the attached claims and their equivalents and not by the above detailed descriptions.
