目前,从市场形势的发展来看,动力电池的应用越加广泛。动力电池不仅被应用于水力、火力、风力和太阳能电站等储能电源系统,而且还被广泛应用于电动自行车、电动摩托车、电动汽车等电动交通工具,以及军事装备和航空航天等多个领域。随着动力电池应用领域的不断扩大,其市场的需求量也在不断地扩增。
本申请的实施例所提到的电池是指包括一个或多个电池单体以提供更高的电压和容量的单一的物理模块。例如,本申请中所提到的电池可以包括电池模块或电池包等。电池一般包括用于封装一个或多个电池单体的箱体。
本申请中,电池单体可以包括锂离子二次电池、锂离子一次电池、锂硫电池、钠锂离子电池、钠离子电 池或镁离子电池等,本申请实施例对此并不限定。电池单体可呈圆柱体、扁平体、长方体或其它形状等,本申请实施例对此也不限定。电池单体一般按封装的方式分成三种:柱形电池单体、方体方形电池单体和软包电池单体,本申请实施例对此也不限定。
如图1所示,电池单体20'包括壳体21'、电极组件22'和电解液,电解液和电极组件22'均容纳于壳体21'内。电极组件22'由正极片2、负极片3和隔离膜4组成。电池单体20'主要依靠金属离子在正极片2和负极片3之间移动来工作。正极片2包括正极集流体2a和正极活性层2b,正极活性层2b涂覆于正极集流体2a的表面,未涂敷正极活性层2b的正极集流体2a凸出于已涂覆正极活性层2b的正极集流体2a,未涂敷正极活性层2b的正极集流体2a作为正极耳。以锂离子电池为例,正极集流体2a的材料可以为铝,正极活性层2b可以为钴酸锂、磷酸铁锂、三元锂或锰酸锂等。负极片3包括负极集流体3a和负极活性层3b,负极活性层3b涂覆于负极集流体3a的表面,未涂敷负极活性层3b的负极集流体3a凸出于已涂覆负极活性层3b的负极集流体3a,未涂敷负极活性层3b的负极集流体3a作为负极耳。负极集流体3a的材料可以为铜,负极活性层3b可以为碳或硅等。为了保证通过大电流而不发生熔断,正极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起,负极耳的数量为多个且层叠在一起。隔离膜的材质可以为PP(polypropylene,聚丙烯)或PE(polyethylene,聚乙烯)等。电极组件22'包括卷绕式电极组件和叠片式电极组件。其中,叠片式电极组件为正极片2、负极片3和隔离膜4沿第一方向X1交替层叠设置形成。
电池技术的发展要同时考虑多方面的设计因素,例如,电池的安全性、循环寿命、放电容量、充放电倍率等性能参数,另外,还需要考虑电池的能量密度。
发明人发现,现有的正极片包括正极集流体和涂覆在正极集流体的厚度方向的两表面的正极活性层,负极片包括负极集流体和涂覆在负极集流体的厚度方向的两表面的负极活性层。对叠片式电极组件而言,在内部空间异形的壳体内或者壳体内部空间异形的区域,为了适应异形空间,正极片和负极片的长度需要变化,比如,如图1所示,壳体21'内部空间的异形区域包括壳体21'的拐角区A',在异形区域,沿第一方向X1,越背离壳体21'的中部,拐角区A'在正极片2的长度方向的尺寸越小,沿背离壳体21'的中部的方向,对应设置的极片的长度也逐渐减小,以避免极片和壳体21'的拐角干涉以损伤极片,如图1所示,在拐角区A',正极片2的背离壳体21'的中部的一侧的负极片3的长度应小于该正极片2,但是这会导致析锂的问题产生。为了降低析锂的风险,需要将拐角区的负极片3面向壳体中部的正极片2的长度进一步减小,但是这导致正极片2没有充分利用拐角区A'的空间,使得壳体21'的内部空间没有被充分利用,降低了电池单体20'的能量密度。此外,由于在异形区域,正极片2和负极片3未充分利用了壳体内部异形区域,在电池产生震动后,正极片2和负极片3容易晃动,以使相邻的正极片2和负极片3在垂直第一方向X1的方向上晃动,使得相邻的第正极片2和负极片3之间在垂直第一方向的方向上错位,从而导致电极组件析锂。
基于上述考虑,为了缓解电池单体能量密度低的问题,发明人经过深入研究,设计了一种电极组件,电极组件包括第一极片组,第一极片组包括沿第一方向层叠设置的多个第一极片,第一极片包括第一集流体、第一正极活性层和第一负极活性层,第一正极活性层22112和第一负极活性层分别设置于第一集流体沿第一方向的两侧,相邻的两个第一极片中一者的第一负极活性层面向且覆盖另一者的第一正极活性层;第一极片组中连续设置的至少一部分第一极片形成第一极片区,第一极片区中的第一极片的第一正极活性层的长度沿第一方向逐渐增大。
在第一极片区中的第一极片的第一正极活性层的长度沿第一方向逐渐增大,使得第一极片区的第一正极活性层的长度能够适应内部空间异形的壳体,使得壳体的异形的内部空间能够被充利用,从而有利于提高具备该电极组件的电池单体和电池的能量密度。
且相邻的两个第一极片中一者的第一负极活性层面向且覆盖另一者的第一正极活性层,能够降低析锂的风险,提高具备该电极组件的电池单体和电池的安全性能。
由于第一极片充分利用了壳体内部异形的壳体,在电池产生震动后,第一极片不容易晃动,以使相邻的第一极片之间能够保持稳定的层叠关系,进一步降低了因第一极片晃动使得相邻的第一极片之间在垂直第一方向的方向上错位而导致电极组件析锂的风险。
本申请实施例公开的具备本申请实施例提供的电极组件的电池单体可以但不限用于车辆、船舶或飞行器等用电设备中,还可以使用具备本申请公开电极组件的电池单体、电池等组成该用电设备的电源系统,这样,有利于提高电池单体和电池的能量密度。

如图6所示,在一些实施例中,电极组件22包括第一极片组221,第一极片组221包括沿第一方向X1层叠设置的多个第一极片2211,第一极片2211包括第一集流体22111、第一正极活性层22112和第一负极活性层22113,第一正极活性层22112和第一负极活性层22113分别设置于第一集流体22111沿第一方向X1的两侧,相邻的两个第一极片2211中一者的第一负极活性层22113面向且覆盖另一者的第一正极活性层22112;第一极片组221中连续设置的至少一部分第一极片2211形成第一极片区221a,第一极片区221a中的第一极片2211的第一正极活性层22112的长度沿第一方向X1逐渐增大。
相邻的两个第一极片2211之间设置一个隔离膜222,用于绝缘隔离相邻的两个第一极片2211。
本申请中出现的“多个”指的是两个以上(包括两个)。在本实施例中,第一极片区221a包括两个及两个以上的第一极片2211。
第一方向X1为单向,第一方向X1与第一集流体22111的厚度方向平行。
第一集流体22111的材质可以包括铝、铜等中的至少一种。沿第一方向X1,第一集流体22111具有相对的第一表面和第二表面,第一正极活性层22112设置于第一表面,第一负极活性层22113设置于第二表面。
“相邻的两个第一极片2211中一者的第一负极活性层22113面向且覆盖另一者的第一正极活性层22112”,是指相邻的两个第一极片2211中的一者的第一正极活性层22112在另一者的第一负极活性层22113上的投影位于该第一负极活性层22113内或者相邻的两个第一极片2211中的一者的第一正极活性层22112在另一者的第一负极活性层22113上的投影的轮廓与该第一负极活性层22113的轮廓重合。
“第一正极活性层22112的长度”,是指第一正极活性层22112沿第一极片的长度方向Y的尺寸。第一极片的长度方向Y垂直第一方向X1。
在第一极片区221a中的第一极片2211的第一正极活性层22112的长度沿第一方向X1逐渐增大,使得第一极片区221a的第一正极活性层22112的长度能够适应内部空间异形的壳体21,使得壳体21的异形的内部空间能够被充利用,从而有利于提高具备该电极组件22的电池单体20和电池100的能量密度。且相邻的两个第一极片2211中一者的第一负极活性层22113面向且覆盖另一者的第一正极活性层22112,能够降低析锂的风险,提高具备该电极组件22的电池单体20和电池100的安全性能。由于第一极片2211充分利用了壳体21内部异形的空间,在电池产生震动后,第一极片2211不容易晃动,以使相邻的第一极片2211之间能够保持稳定的层叠关系,进一步降低了因第一极片2211晃动使得相邻的第一极片2211之间在垂直第一方向X1的方向上错位而导致电极组件22析锂的风险。
壳体21的内部空间异形可以是由于壳体21的各个壁的形状和/或尺寸不同而导致的,比如,在图6中,壳体21包括沿第一方向X1相对的第一壁212和第二壁213以及沿第一极片的长度方向Y相对的第三壁214和第四壁215,第一壁212和第二壁213的沿第一极片的长度方向Y的尺寸不同,且第二壁213沿第一极片的长度方向Y的两端均超出第一壁212沿第一极片的长度方向Y的两端,第三壁214连接于第一壁212沿第一极片的长度方向Y的一端和第二壁213沿第一极片的长度方向Y的一端之间,第三壁214分别和第一壁212和第二壁213呈钝角和锐角布置;第四壁215接于第一壁212沿第一极片的长度方向Y的另一端和第二壁213沿第一极片的长度方向Y的另一端之间,第四壁215分别和第一壁212和第二壁213呈钝角和锐角布置,从而使得两个第一壁212和两个第二壁213共同围城异形的内部空间。
在一些实施例中,第一极片区221a中的第一极片2211的第一负极活性层22113的长度沿第一方向X1逐渐增大。
“第一负极活性层22113的长度”,是指第一负极活性层22113沿第一极片的长度方向Y的尺寸。
若第一正极活性层22112的长度越大,面向并覆盖该第一正极活性层22112的第一负极活性层22113的长度也对应越大,以降低电极组件22析锂的风险。反之,若第一正极活性层22112的长度越小,面向并覆盖该第一正极活性层22112的第一负极活性层22113的长度也对应越小,既降低析锂的风险,又避免活性材料浪费。
在第一极片区221a中,第一极片2211的第一负极活性层22113的长度沿第一方向X1逐渐增大,使得在第一极片区221a中,长度越大的第一正极活性层22112对应的第一负极活性层22113的长度也越大。
第一极片区221a中的第一极片2211的第一负极活性层22113的长度沿第一方向X1逐渐增大,则在第一极片区221a中,第一极片2211的第一负极活性层22113的长度沿第一方向X1的变化趋势与第一正极活性层22112的长度沿第一方向X1的变化趋势相同,以使第一极片区221a的各个第一极片2211的第一负极活性层22113的长度变化趋势适应第一正极活性层22112的长度的变化趋势,使得第一极片区221a的第一负极活性层22113的长度能够适应内部空间异形的壳体21,使得壳体21的异形的内部空间能够被充利用,从而有利于提高具备该电极组件22的电池单体20和电池100的能量密度;还能避免活性材料浪费。
在另一些实施例中,在第一极片区221a中,各个第一极片2211的第一负极活性层22113的长度也可以相同,各个第一负极活性层22113的长度与面向并覆盖长度最大的第一正极活性层22112的第一负极活性层22113的长度相同。

对第一极片2211而言,“第一负极活性层22113的边缘超出第一正极活性层22112的边缘”可以是第一负极活性层22113的部分边缘超出第一正极活性层22112的边缘,第一负极活性层22113的另一部分边缘与第一正极活性层22112的边缘平齐。比如,第一负极活性层22113沿第一极片的长度方向Y的两个边缘超出第一正极活性层22112沿第一极片的长度方向Y的两个边缘,第一负极活性层22113沿第一极片的宽度方向Z的两个边缘与第一正极活性层22112沿第一极片的宽度方向Z的两个边缘平齐。第一方向X1、第一极片的长度方向Y和第一极片的宽度方向Z两两垂直。
“第一负极活性层22113的边缘超出第一正极活性层22112的边缘”可以是第一负极活性层22113的全部边缘均超出第一正极活性层22112的边缘,即第一负极活性层22113沿第一极片的长度方向Y的两个边缘超出第一正极活性层22112沿第一极片的长度方向Y的两个边缘,第一负极活性层22113沿第一极片的宽度方向Z的两个边缘超出第一正极活性层22112沿第一极片的宽度方向Z的两个边缘。
对第一极片2211而言,“第一负极活性层22113的边缘与第一正极活性层22112的边缘平齐”,是指第一负极活性层22113的全部边缘与第一正极活性层22112的全部边缘平齐,即第一负极活性层22113沿第一极片的长度方向Y的两个边缘与第一正极活性层22112沿第一极片的长度方向Y的两个边缘平齐,第一负极活性层22113沿第一极片的宽度方向Z的两个边缘与第一正极活性层22112沿第一极片的宽度方向Z的两个边缘平齐。
对每个第一极片2211而言,第一负极活性层22113的边缘超出第一正极活性层22112的边缘或者第一负极活性层22113的边缘与第一正极活性层22112的边缘平齐,能够降低析锂的风险,提高具备该电极组件22的电池单体20和电池100的安全性能。
在另一些实施例中,第一极片2211的第一正极活性层22112的边缘也可以超出第一负极活性层22113的边缘,只要满足第一负极活性层22113能够覆盖其面向的第一正极活性层22112即可。

在相邻的两个第一正极活性层22112中的一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的两端均超出另一者的两端的实施例中,相邻的两个第一负极活性层22113中的一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的两端可以均超出另一者的两端;或者相邻的两个第一负极活性层22113中的一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的一端与另一者的一端平齐,相邻的两个第一负极活性层22113中的一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的另一端超出另一者的另一端;或者相邻的两个第一负极活性层22113中的一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的两端与另一者的两端平齐。

如图9所示,在另一些实施例中,在第一极片区221a,相邻的两个第一正极活性层22112中一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的一端与另一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的一端平齐;和/或,相邻的两个第一负极活性层22113中一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的一端与另一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的一端平齐;第一极片的长度方向Y垂直第一方向X1。
在第一极片区221a,沿第一方向X1,第一极片2211的第一正极活性层22112的长度逐渐增大,在邻的两个第一正极活性层22112中一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的一端与另一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的一端平齐的情况下,相邻的两个第一正极活性层22112中一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的另一端超出另一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的另一端。
在相邻的两个第一正极活性层22112中一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的一端与另一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的一端平齐的实施例中,相邻的两个第一负极活性层22113中的一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的两端可以均超出另一者的两端;或者相邻的两个第一负极活性层22113中的一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的一端与另一者的一端平齐,相邻的两个第一负极活性层22113中的一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的另一端超出另一者的另一端;或者相邻的两个第一负极活性层22113中的一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的两端与另一者的两端平齐。
相邻的两个第一正极活性层22112中一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的一端与另一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的一端平齐,和/或,相邻的两个第一负极活性层22113中一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的一端与另一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的一端平齐,使得第一极片区221a的第一正极活性层22112和/或第一负极活性层22113能够适应内部空间沿第一极片的长度方向Y一端异形、另一端规则的壳体21,使得壳体21的内部空间能够被充利用,从而有利于提高具备该电极组件22的电池单体20和电池100的能量密度。
在图9中,壳体21可以具有沿第一方向X1相对的第一壁212和第二壁213以及沿第一极片的长度方向Y相对的第三壁214和第四壁215,第一壁212和第二壁213沿第一极片的长度方向Y的一端对齐,并通过第三壁214连接。第二壁213沿第一极片的长度方向Y的另一端超出第一壁212沿第一极片的长度方向Y的另一端,并通过第四壁215连接,第四壁215相对第一壁212和第二壁213分别呈钝角和锐角布置,从而第一壁212、第二壁213、第三壁214和第四壁215共同形成异形的内部空间。
如图6和图9所示,第一极片组221中可以是所有第一极片2211的第一正极活性层22112的长度沿第一方向X1逐渐增大,则第一极片区221a即第一极片组221件。
如图10所示,在一些实施例中,第一极片组221中连续设置的至少一部分第一极片2211形成第一极片区221a,第一极片组221中的另一部分第一极片2211形成第二极片区221b,在第一极片区221a中,第一正极活性层22112的长度最大和最小的第一极片2211分别为第一极片单元2211a和第二极片单元2211b;第二极片区221b设置于第一极片区221a的一侧,且第二极片区221b设置于第一极片单元2211a背离第二极片单元2211b的一侧,第二极片区221b中的第一极片2211与第一极片单元2211a相同。
“第二极片区221b中的第一极片2211和第一极片单元2211a相同”,包括第二极片区221b中的第一极片2211的第一正极活性物质层的长度和第一极片单元2211a的第一正极活性层22112的长度相同,第二极片区221b中的第一极片2211的第一负极活性物质层的长度和第一极片单元2211a的第一负极活性层22113的长度相同。第二极片区221b的第一极片2211的第一负极活性层22113面向第一极片单元2211a设置。
第二极片区221b中的第一极片2211的数量可以是一个,也可以是多个。
第二极片区221b中的第一极片2211与第一极片区221a中的第一正极活性层22112的长度最大的第一极片2211的相同,使得该电极组件22能够适应内部空间部分规整、另一部分异形的壳体21,使得壳体21的内部空间能够被充利用,从而有利于提高具备该电极组件22的电池单体20和电池100的能量密度。
壳体21异形的内部空间也可以是以其他方式形成,比如,在图10中,壳体21具有沿第一方向X1相对的第一壁212和第二壁213以及沿第一极片的长度方向Y相对的第三壁214和第四壁215,第一壁212沿第一极片的长度方向Y的尺寸小于第二壁213沿第一极片的长度方向Y的尺寸,且第二壁213沿第一极片的长度方向Y的两端均超出第一壁212沿第一极片的长度方向Y的两端。第三壁214和第四壁215分别连接于第二壁213沿第一极片的长度方向Y的两端并向靠近第一壁212的方向延伸,第三壁214和第四壁215均垂直第二壁213。壳体21还包 括第一过渡壁216和第二过渡壁217,第一过渡壁216连接于第三壁214背离第二壁213的一端与第一壁212沿第一极片的长度方向Y的一端之间,第一壁212和第三壁214均与第一过渡壁216之间呈钝角布置;第二过渡壁217连接于第四壁215背离第二壁213的一端与第一壁212沿第一极片的长度方向Y的另一端之间,第一壁212和第四壁215均与第二过渡壁217之间呈钝角布置,从而第一壁212、第二壁213、第三壁214、第四壁215、第一过渡壁216和第二过渡壁217共同形成异形的内部空间。
在一些实施例中,第二极片单元2211b位于电极组件22沿第二方向X2的一端,第一方向X1与第二方向X2相反。
第二极片单元2211b位于电极组件22沿第二方向X2的一端,可以理解为,第二极片单元2211b背离第一极片单元2211a的一侧没有其他极片。
在第一极片区221a,第二极片单元2211b的第一正极活性层22112的长度最小且第二极片单元2211b位于电极组件22沿第二方向X2的一端,使得第一极片区221a的第一极片2211能够适应内部空间异形的壳体21,使得壳体21的异形的内部空间能够被充利用,从而有利于提高具备该电极组件22的电池单体20和电池100的能量密度。
由于第二极片单元2211b的第一负极活性层22113设置于第二极片单元2211b的第一集流体22111的背离第一极片单元2211a的一侧,若第二极片单元2211b的第一负极活性层22113背离第一极片单元2211a的一侧未设置极片,则导致第二极片单元2211b的第一负极活性层22113被浪费,因此,如图11、图12所示,在一些实施例中,第一极片组221还包括第一端部极片2212,第一端部极片2212设置于第二极片单元2211b背离第一极片单元2211a的一侧。第一端部极片2212包括第一端部集流体22121和设置于第一端部集流体22121面向第二极片单元2211b的一侧的第一端部正极活性层22122,第二极片单元2211b的第一负极活性层22113面向并覆盖第一端部极片2212的第一端部正极活性层22122。第一端部集流体22121背离第二极片单元2211b的一侧可以不设置活性层。
如图12、图13所示,在一些实施例中,电极组件22还包括第二极片225,沿第一方向X1,第二极片225设置于第一极片组221的一侧,且与第一极片组221中第一正极活性层22112长度最大的一者相邻设置;沿第二极片225包括第二集流体2251和第二负极活性层2252,在第一方向X1,第二集流体2251至少面向第一极片2211的一侧设有第二负极活性层2252,第二集流体2251面向第一极片2211的一侧的第二负极活性层2252与其相邻的第一极片2211的第一正极活性层22112相对设置并覆盖第一正极活性层22112。
沿第一方向X1,第二集流体2251具有相对的第三表面和第四表面,第三表面面向第一极片区221a设置,至少第三表面设有第二负极活性层2252。
如图12所示,在第一极片区221a即第一极片组221的实施例中,第二极片225与第一极片单元2211a相邻设置,第二集流体2251面向第一极片组221的一侧的第二负极活性层2252面向并覆盖第一极片单元2211a的第一正极活性层22112设置。
如图13所示,在第一极片组221包括第一极片区221a和第二极片区221b的实施例中,第二极片225与第二极片区221b中最远离第一极片区221a的第一极片2211相邻设置,第二集流体2251面向第一极片组221的一侧的第二负极活性层2252面向并覆盖该第一极片2211的第一正极活性层22112。
设置第二极片225且第二极片225面向第一极片2211的一侧的第二负极活性层2252与其相邻的第一极片2211的第一正极活性层22112相对设置并覆盖第一正极活性层22112,使得第一极片组221中的每个第一极片2211的第一正极活性层22112均具有与之对应的负极活性层,从而使得从第一极片组221中的每个第一极片2211的第一正极活性层22112中脱离的离子均能够被负极活性层承接,能够提高具备该电极组件22的电池单体20和电池100的能量密度,还能降低析锂的风险。
第二集流体2251可以仅面向第一极片组221的表面设有第二负极活性层2252,即仅第三表面设有第二负极活性层2252(如图12、图13所示)。如图14所示,在另一些实施例中,沿第一方向X1,第二集流体2251两侧均设有第二负极活性层2252。即,第三表面和第四表面均设有第二负极活性层2252。

第三极片2261的数量可以是一个,也可以是多个。在一些实施例中,第二极片组226包括多个第三极片2261,多个第三极片2261沿第二方向X2排布,第二方向X2与第一方向X1相反。
相邻的两个第三极片2261中的一者的第三负极活性层22613面向并覆盖另一者的第三正极活性层22612,以降低析锂的风险。
第二极片组226包括多个第三极片2261,使得具备该电极组件22的电池单体20和电池100能够具有更高的能量密度。

在第三极片区226a中的第三极片2261的第三正极活性层22612的长度沿第二方向X2逐渐增大,使得第三极片区226a的第三正极活性层22612的长度能够适应内部空间异形的壳体21,使得壳体21的异形的内部空间能够被充利用,从而有利于提高具备该电极组件22的电池单体20和电池100的能量密度。且相邻的两个第三极片2261中一者的第三负极活性层22613面向且覆盖另一者的第三正极活性层22612,能够降低析锂的风险,提高具备该电极组件22的电池单体20和电池100的安全性能。

“第三负极活性层22613的长度”,是指第三负极活性层22613沿第三极片2261的长度方向的尺寸。
若第三正极活性层22612的长度越大,面向并覆盖该第三正极活性层22612的第三负极活性层22613的长度也对应越大,以降低电极组件22析锂的风险。反之,若第三正极活性层22612的长度越小,面向并覆盖该第 三正极活性层22612的第三负极活性层22613的长度也对应越小,既降低析锂的风险,又避免活性材料浪费。
在第三极片区226a中,第三极片2261的第三负极活性层22613的长度沿第二方向X2逐渐增大,使得在第三极片区226a中,长度越大的第三正极活性层22612对应的第三负极活性层22613的长度也越大。
第三极片区226a中的第三极片2261的第三负极活性层22613的长度沿第二方向X2逐渐增大,则在第三极片区226a中,第三极片2261的第三负极活性层22613的长度沿第二方向X2的变化趋势与第三正极活性层22612的长度沿第三方向的变化趋势相同,以使第三极片区226a的各个第三极片2261的第三负极活性层22613的长度变化趋势适应第三正极活性层22612的长度的变化趋势,使得第三极片区226a的第三负极活性层22613的长度能够适应内部空间异形的壳体21,使得壳体21的异形的内部空间能够被充利用,从而有利于提高具备该电极组件22的电池单体20和电池100的能量密度;还能避免活性材料浪费。

如图25所示,第二极片组226中可以是所有第二极片225的第二正极活性层的长度沿第二方向X2逐渐增大,则第三极片区226a即第二极片组226。
如图24所示,在一些实施例中,第二极片组226中连续设置的至少一部分第三极片2261形成第三极片区226a,第三极片2261组中的另一部分第三极片2261形成第四极片区226b,在第三极片区226a中,第三正极活性层22612的长度最大和最小的第三极片2261分别为第三极片单元2261a和第四极片单元2261b;第四极片区226b设置于第三极片区226a的一侧,且第四极片区226b设置于第三极片单元2261a背离第四极片单元2261b的一侧,第四极片区226b中的第三极片2261与第三极片单元2261a相同。

第四极片区226b中的第三极片2261与第三极片区226a中的第三正极活性层22612的长度最大的第三极片2261的相同,使得该电极组件22能够适应内部空间部分规整、另一部分异形的壳体21,使得壳体21的内部空间能够被充利用,从而有利于提高具备该电极组件22的电池单体20和电池100的能量密度。
在一些实施例中,第四极片单元2261b位于电极组件22沿第一方向X1的一端。
第四极片单元2261b位于电极组件22沿第一方向X1的一端,可以理解为,第四极片单元2261b背离第三极片单元2261a的一侧没有其他极片。
在第三极片区226a,第四极片单元2261b的第三正极活性层22612的长度最小且第四极片单元2261b位于电极组件22沿第一方向X1的一端,使得第三极片区226a的第三极片2261能够适应内部空间异形的壳体21,使得壳体21的异形的内部空间能够被充利用,从而有利于提高具备该电极组件22的电池单体20和电池100的能量密度。
由于第四极片单元2261b的第三负极活性层22613设置于第四极片单元2261b的第三集流体22611的背离第三极片单元2261a的一侧,若第四极片单元2261b的第三负极活性层22613背离第三极片单元2261a的一侧未设置极片,则导致第四极片单元2261b的第三负极活性层22613被浪费,因此,请继续参见图24,在一些实施例中,第二极片组226还包括第二端部极片2262,第二端部极片2262设置于第四极片单元2261b背离第三极片单元2261a的一侧。第二端部极片2262包括第二端部集流体22621和设置于第二端部集流体22621面向第四极片单元2261b的一侧的第二端部正极活性层22622,第四极片单元2261b的第三负极活性层22613面向并覆盖第二端部极片2262的第二端部正极活性层22622。第二端部集流体22621背离第四极片单元2261b的一侧可以不设置活性层。

在另一些实施例中,第一极片组221和第三极片2261组也可以不对称设置。比如,如图26所示,在第一极片区221a,相邻的两个第一正极活性层22112中的一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的两端均超出另一者的两端;相邻的两个第一负极活性层22113中的一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的两端均超出另一者的两端。在第三极片区226a,相邻的两个第三正极活性层22612中一者沿第三极片2261的长度方向的一端与另一者沿第三极片2261的长度方向的一端平齐;相邻的两个第三负极活性层22613中一者沿第三极片2261的长度方向的一端与另一者沿第一极片的长度方向Y的一端平齐。

第三活性层的长度和第二活性层的长度相同。第二活性层的长度为第二活性层沿第二极片225的长度方向的尺寸,第三活性层的长度为第三活性层沿第三极片2261的长度方向的尺寸。
第二负极活性层2252沿第三极片2261的长度方向的两端和第三负极活性层22613沿第三极片2261的长度方向的两端平齐,使得第三负极活性层22613的长度足够大,能够降低析锂的风险,提高具备该电极组件22的电池单体20和电池100的安全性能。
在第二极片组226包括多个第三极片2261的实施例中,各个第三极片2261可以相同。“各个第三极片2261相同”包括各个第三极片2261的第三负极活性物质层的长度相同,各个第三极片2261的第三正极活性物质层的长度相同。
