Abstract

Provided are cell, method of manufacturing cell, and battery. The cell includes separator, plural positive electrode sheets and plural negative electrode sheets, the positive and negative electrode sheets are alternately stacked, and the separator is interposed between the positive and negative electrode sheets adjacent to each other. Each positive electrode sheet includes two first long sides oppositely disposed, one of which is provided with positive electrode current collector; and two first short sides oppositely disposed, one of which is provided with first tab, the positive electrode current collector is electrically connected to the first tab; and/or each negative electrode sheet includes two second long sides oppositely disposed, one of which is provided with negative electrode current collector; and two second short sides oppositely disposed, one of which is provided with second tab, the negative electrode current collector is electrically connected to the second tab.

Claims (31)

1 . A method for manufacturing a cell, comprising:

coating a positive electrode slurry on an aluminum foil in accordance with grid-shaped coating; leaving a margin around four edges of a coating formed with the positive electrode slurry on the coated aluminum foil;

drying, rolling, and cutting the coated aluminum foil to obtain a plurality of positive electrode sheets to form a first long side margin and a first short side margin,

wherein each positive electrode sheet of the plurality of positive electrode sheets comprises two first long sides,

wherein the first long side margin is arranged at only one of the two first long sides and two first short sides,

wherein the first short side margin is arranged at only one of the two first short sides,

the first long side margin serves as a positive electrode current collector,

a middle of one first short side of the two first short sides is provided with a first tab, and

the first short side margin is located between the first tab and the positive electrode current collector and is configured to implement electrical connection between the positive electrode current collector and the first tab;

coating a negative electrode slurry on a copper foil in accordance with grid-shaped coating; leaving a margin around four edges of a coating formed with the negative electrode slurry on the coated copper foil;

drying, rolling, and cutting the coated copper foil to obtain a plurality of negative electrode sheets to form a second long side margin and a second short side margin,

wherein each negative electrode sheet of the plurality of negative electrode sheets comprises two second long sides,

wherein the second long side margin is arranged at only one of the two second long sides and two second short sides, and

wherein the second short side margin is arranged at only one of the two second short sides,

the second long side margin serves as a negative electrode current collector,

a middle of one second short side of the two second short sides is provided with a second tab, and

the second short side margin is located between the second tab and the negative electrode current collector and is configured to implement electrical connection between the negative electrode current collector and the second tab;

preparing a separator;

alternately stacking the plurality of positive electrode sheets and the plurality of negative electrode sheets, and interposing the separator between the positive electrode sheets and the negative electrode sheets that are adjacent to each other;

stacking the positive electrode current collector of each positive electrode sheet of the plurality of positive electrode sheets at a same side, and stacking the negative electrode current collector of each negative electrode sheet of the plurality of negative electrode sheets at a side opposite to the same side where the positive electrode current collector of each positive electrode sheet of the plurality of positive electrode sheets is stacked; and

providing the first short side and the second short side opposite to each other.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , after the step of alternately stacking the plurality of positive electrode sheets and the plurality of negative electrode sheets, further comprising:

electrically connecting the positive electrode current collector of each positive electrode sheet of the plurality of positive electrode sheets to each other; and

electrically connecting the negative electrode current collector of each negative electrode sheet of the plurality of negative electrode sheets to each other.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein the step of electrically connecting the positive electrode current collector of each positive electrode sheet of the plurality of positive electrode sheets to each other comprises: providing a first connecting substrate; and electrically connecting the positive electrode current collector of each positive electrode sheet of the plurality of positive electrode sheets to the first connecting substrate; and

the step of electrically connecting the negative electrode current collector of each negative electrode sheet of the plurality of negative electrode sheets to each other comprises: providing a second connecting substrate; and electrically connecting the negative electrode current collector of each negative electrode sheet of the plurality of negative electrode sheets to the second connecting substrate.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step of alternately stacking the plurality of positive electrode sheets and the plurality of negative electrode sheets comprises:

laminating a positive electrode sheet, the separator, and a negative electrode sheet in a single-sheet laminating mode to obtain a semi-finished bare cell; or

hot-pressing the positive electrode sheets and the separator to obtain a first compound unit, and laminating the first compound unit with the negative electrode sheets to obtain a semi-finished bare cell; or

hot-pressing the negative electrode sheets and the separator to obtain a second compound unit, and laminating the second compound unit with the positive electrode sheets to obtain a semi-finished bare cell.

5 . A battery, comprising a shell and the cell manufactured by the method for manufacturing a cell according to claim 1 , wherein the cell is provided in the shell.
