Abstract

An electrode sheet includes a current collector, a membrane layer including an active substance, and an insulating protective layer covering the membrane layer. The insulating protective layer includes a hole for ion migration in the active substance and preventing a separation of the active substance.

Claims (59)

1 . An electrode sheet, comprising:

a current collector;

a membrane layer, comprising an active substance; and

an insulating protective layer, the insulating protective layer covering the membrane layer, wherein the insulating protective layer comprises a hole for ion migration in the active substance and preventing a separation of the active substance.

2 . The electrode sheet according to claim 1 , wherein the insulating protective layer comprises a polymer.

3 . The electrode sheet according to claim 1 , wherein an aperture of the hole is between 0.05 μm and 8 μm.

4 . The electrode sheet according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of the insulating protective layer is between 1 μm and 10 μM.

5 . The electrode sheet according to claim 1 , wherein:

the membrane layer comprises a first membrane layer and a second membrane layer located on opposite sides of the current collector; and

the insulating protective layer comprises:

a first insulating protective layer covering the first membrane layer; and

a second insulating protective layer covering the second membrane layer.

6 . An electrode assembly, comprising:

the electrode sheet according to claim 1 .

7 . The electrode assembly according to claim 6 , wherein the electrode sheet comprises:

a positive electrode sheet;

a negative electrode sheet; and

a separator layer provided between the positive electrode sheet and the negative electrode sheet.

8 . A battery cell, comprising:

a housing, the housing comprising an accommodating cavity; and

the electrode assembly according to claim 6 , the electrode assembly being located in the accommodating cavity.

9 . A battery, comprising:

a box body; and

the battery cell according to claim 8 , the battery cell being accommodated in the box body.

10 . A power consumption device, comprising:

the battery according to claim 9 ; and

a power consuming assembly, the power consuming assembly being electrically coupled to the battery.

11 . A method for producing an electrode sheet, comprising:

providing a current collector coated with an active substance; and

pressing the active substance to form a membrane layer, and forming an insulating protective layer on the membrane layer, wherein the insulating protective layer has a hole for ion migration in the active substance and preventing a separation of the active substance.

12 . The method according to claim 11 , wherein pressing the active substance to form the membrane layer, and forming the insulating protective layer on the membrane layer comprises:

placing the current collector coated with the active substance between protective films, and pressing the protective films and the active substance to synchronously form the membrane layer and the insulating protective layer.

13 . The method according to claim 12 , wherein placing the current collector coated with the active substance between the protective films, and pressing the protective films and the active substance to synchronously form the membrane layer and the insulating protective layer comprises:

transmitting the current collector coated with the active substance from a first position to a second position by a transmission apparatus;

releasing a protective film from the first position to the second position by a protective film apparatus; and

pressing the protective film and the active substance successively from top to bottom by a pressing apparatus to form the membrane layer and the insulating protective layer covering the membrane layer.

14 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein:

both a first surface and a second surface of the current collector are coated with the active substance; and

the transmission apparatus comprises a first cross roller and a second cross roller, the first cross roller provides the current collector coated with the active substance moving from the first position to the second position, and the second cross roller provides a force to push the current collector coated with the active substance to move from the first position to the second position.

15 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein:

the pressing apparatus comprises a first pressing roller and a second pressing roller, the second pressing roller is located below the first pressing roller and has a gap with the first pressing roller; and

the current collector coated with the active substance passes through the gap between the first pressing roller and the second pressing roller under a traction of the first pressing roller and a push of the second pressing roller.

16 . The method according to claim 13 , wherein:

the protective film apparatus comprises a first unwinding mechanism and a second unwinding mechanism, the first unwinding mechanism is located above the first cross roller and the second cross roller, and the second unwinding mechanism is located below the first cross roller and the second cross roller;

the first unwinding mechanism is configured to unwind a first protective film of a first membrane layer formed by an active substance covering a first surface of the current collector, and the first protective film passes between the current collector coated with the active substance and the first pressing roller and is pressed; and

the second unwinding mechanism is configured to unwind a second protective film of a second membrane layer formed by an active substance covering a second surface of the current collector; and the second protective film passes between the current collector coated with the active substance and the second pressing roller and is pressed.

17 . The method according to claim 11 , further comprising:

cutting the current collector formed by pressing and having the insulating protective layer and the membrane layer to obtain the electrode sheet; and

cleaning a surface of the insulating protective layer by negative pressure during cutting.

18 . A system for producing an electrode sheet, comprising:

a transmission apparatus, the transmission apparatus being configured to move a current collector coated with an active substance from a first position to a second position;

a protective film apparatus, the protective film apparatus being configured to unwind a protective film forming an insulating protective layer; and

a pressing apparatus, the pressing apparatus being configured to press the protective film and the active substance from top to bottom to form a membrane layer and an insulating protective layer covering the membrane layer respectively, wherein the insulating protective layer has a hole for ion migration in the active substance and preventing a separation of the active substance.

19 . The system according to claim 18 , wherein:

both a first surface and a second surface of the current collector are coated with the active substance; and

the transmission apparatus comprises a first cross roller and a second cross roller, the first cross roller provides the current collector coated with the active substance moving from the first position to the second position, and the second cross roller provides a force to push the current collector coated with the active substance to move from the first position to the second position.

20 . The system according to claim 18 , wherein:

the pressing apparatus comprises a first pressing roller and a second pressing roller, the second pressing roller is located below the first pressing roller and has a gap with the first pressing roll; and
