Abstract

A lithium ion battery characterized in that a porous elastomer made of non-metal material is provided among the positive and negative electrodes groups, or between the electrodes groups and the inner wall of the shell and the elastomer is in the shape of sheet or stick. The thickness of the elastomer is 0.5 mm-5.0 mm, and the porosity is 10%-80%. The said battery can avoid effectively the expansion of the shell during the cycle of charge and discharge, and can be processed conveniently, and the cyclic life and safety property of the battery can be improved effectively.

Claims (8)

1. A lithium ion battery, comprising:

a shell for serving as a casing of said lithium ion battery;

an electrolyte, situated within said shell;

a plurality of electrode sets, surrounded by said electrolyte, having an anode, a cathode, and a diaphragm, positioned between said anode and said cathode, for serving as a separator of said anode and said cathode; and

a non-metal porous elastomer that is sandwiched between two electrode sets of said plurality of electrode sets and is disposed between said plurality of electrode sets and the inside wall of said shell; wherein said non-metal porous elastomer is a polyolefine having a thickness of 0.5 mm-5.0 mm and a porosity of 10%-80%.

2. The lithium ion battery of claim 1 , wherein said polyolefine is a polyalkylene meta-fluoride.

3. The lithium ion battery of claim 2 , wherein said polyalkylene meta-fluoride is a polyvinylidene fluoride.

4. The lithium ion battery of claim 1 , wherein said polyolefine is a polyethylene.
