Abstract

A lithium strip that can be used in lithium supplementation equipment is described. The lithium strip has a first surface, and a thinned area is formed at the edge of the first surface along the width direction of the lithium strip to form a space for accommodating a release agent at the thinned area. The thinned area is designed to enable the lithium strip to pick up more release agent when it is applied to a coating device, and the release agent can remain in the above thinned area. The presence of the thinned area in the lithium strip can reduce the lithium load per unit width, so that during the calendering process of the lithium strip, there will be no calendering exceeding the preset width, so that the lithium strip will not stick to the roller after calendering.

Claims (10)

1 . A lithium strip wherein the lithium strip has a first surface, and a thinned area is formed at the edge of the first surface along the width direction of the lithium strip to form a space for accommodating a release agent at the thinned area.

2 . The lithium strip according to claim 1 , wherein the first surface is provided with rounded corners at the edge along the width direction, and the rounded corners form the thinned area.

3 . The lithium strip according to claim 2 , wherein the radius of the rounded corner is ¼ to ⅓ of the thickness of the lithium strip.

4 . The lithium strip according to claim 2 , wherein the first surface has rounded corners on both sides of the edge along the width direction.

5 . The lithium strip according to claim 2 , wherein the lithium strip further has a second surface, the first surface and the second surface are opposite to each other in the thickness direction of the lithium strip, and the first surface has rounded corners on both sides of the edge along the width direction.

6 . The lithium strip according to claim 1 , wherein the first surface is provided with chamfers at the edge along the width direction, and the chamfers form the thinned area.

7 . The lithium strip according to claim 6 , wherein the radius of the chamfer is ¼ to ⅓ of the thickness of the lithium strip.

8 . The lithium strip according to claim 6 , wherein the first surface has the chamfers on both sides of the edge along the width direction.

9 . The lithium strip according to claim 6 , wherein the lithium strip further has a second surface, the first surface and the second surface are opposite to each other in the thickness direction of the lithium strip, and the first surface has chamfers on both sides of the edge along the width direction.

10 . The lithium strip according to claim 1 , wherein the lithium strip has a rectangular cross-section.
