Abstract

A wound battery which relates to the field of batteries. The wound battery is formed by winding a battery sheet. The battery sheet is flexible and includes a flexible current collector, a positive active layer, a negative active layer, and an insulating separator which is formed on a surface of the positive active layer and/or a surface of the negative active layer, and is configured to prevent the positive active layer from directly contacting the negative active layer.

Claims (25)

1 . A wound battery formed by winding a battery sheet, comprising:

a flexible battery sheet with an integrated structure, wherein the battery sheet comprises a current collector, a positive active layer, and a negative active layer, wherein the current collector has an insulating layer as a substrate, and a positive metal layer and a negative metal layer which are formed on surfaces of two sides of the insulating layer, wherein the positive active layer is formed on a surface of the positive metal layer, and wherein the negative active layer is formed on a surface of the negative metal layer; and

an insulating separator laminated on and covering a surface of the positive active layer and/or a surface of the negative active layer, and configured to prevent the positive active layer from directly contacting the negative active layer.

2 . The wound battery of claim 1 , wherein the separator extends to an innermost circle of the wound battery and forms an inner circle section.

3 . The wound battery of claim 2 , wherein the inner circle section is double-layer.

4 . The wound battery of claim 2 , wherein the inner circle section is single-layer.

5 . The wound battery of claim 1 , wherein an innermost circle of the wound battery is not provided with the separator.

6 . The wound battery of claim 1 , wherein the separator has a length identical to or slightly shorter than the current collector.

7 . The wound battery of claim 1 , wherein a part of the positive metal layer and a part of the negative metal layer are exposed.

8 . The wound battery of claim 7 , wherein the positive metal layer has a first positive exposed section located in a region of an innermost circle of the wound battery and the negative metal layer has a first negative exposed section located in the region of the innermost circle and corresponding to the first positive exposed section.

9 . The wound battery of claim 8 , wherein the region of the innermost circle comprises an initial wound section of the flexible battery sheet.

10 . The wound battery of claim 7 , wherein the positive metal layer has a second positive exposed section located in a region of an outermost circle of the wound battery and the negative metal layer has a second negative exposed section located in the region of the outermost circle and corresponding to the second positive exposed section.

11 . The wound battery of claim 10 , wherein the region of the outermost circle comprises an ending wound section of the flexible battery sheet.

12 . The wound battery of claim 1 , wherein the separator extends to the surface of the positive active layer and the surface of the negative active layer in an outermost circle of the wound battery.

13 . The wound battery of claim 1 , wherein the positive active layer is made of LiFeSO 4 .

14 . The wound battery of claim 1 , wherein the negative active layer is made of graphite.

15 . The wound battery of claim 1 , wherein the positive metal layer is made of aluminum.

16 . The wound battery of claim 1 , wherein the negative metal layer is made of copper.

17 . The wound battery of claim 1 , wherein the insulating layer is made of a material selected from a group comprising: plastic, resin, and rubber.

18 . The wound battery of claim 17 , wherein the plastic is at least one of biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), or polyimide (PI).

19 . The wound battery of claim 1 , wherein the positive metal layer and the negative metal layer which have relatively small and uniform thicknesses are formed on two surfaces of the insulating layer in a thickness direction of the insulating layer by evaporation deposition respectively.

20 . An energy storage device, comprising:

a wound battery formed by winding a battery sheet, wherein the wound battery comprises:

a flexible battery sheet with an integrated structure, wherein the battery sheet comprises a current collector, a positive active layer, and a negative active layer, wherein the current collector has an insulating layer as a substrate, and a positive metal layer and a negative metal layer which are formed on surfaces of two sides of the insulating layer, wherein the positive active layer is formed on a surface of the positive metal layer, and wherein the negative active layer is formed on a surface of the negative metal layer; and

an insulating separator laminated on and covering a surface of the positive active layer and/or a surface of the negative active layer, and configured to prevent the positive active layer from directly contacting the negative active layer.
