  • Publication number: 20260196467
    Abstract: A preparation method for an electrode sheet, an electrode sheet, a battery, and an electric device. The preparation method for an electrode sheet includes: preparing an active layer comprising an active material and a binder on at least one side of a current collector; performing a heating treatment on the active layer to cause a temperature of a surface layer of the active layer to rise to a heating temperature; and performing a thermal insulation treatment on the active layer to cause the surface layer of the active layer to be at a thermal insulation temperature, where each of the heating temperature and the thermal insulation temperature is separately higher than or equal to a melting point or a softening point of the binder and lower than a decomposition temperature of the binder.

  • Publication number: 20250329709
    Abstract: A positive electrode plate and a treatment method thereof, a battery, and an electric device are provided. The treatment method of the positive electrode plate includes: performing combustion treatment on a designated portion of the positive electrode plate, where the designated portion includes at least part of a surface of a positive electrode active material layer of the positive electrode plate.

  • Publication number: 20250273685
    Abstract: A method for preparing a positive electrode slurry includes four sequential stirring steps. A positive electrode active material and a conductive agent are first stirred to form a dry mixture. A binder and a solvent are then stirred to form a glue solution. The dry mixture and glue solution are subsequently stirred to form a primary slurry. Finally, the binder, the solvent, and the primary slurry are stirred to obtain the positive electrode slurry. The binder and solvent used in the second and fourth stirrings are the same. Based on the total mass of binder used in both steps, 50% to 70% is added during the second stirring, and 30% to 50% during the fourth stirring. The application also relates to a positive electrode slurry prepared by this method, a secondary battery including the slurry, a battery pack, and an electrical apparatus comprising the battery.

  • Publication number: 20250259990
    Abstract: A method for preparing a positive electrode slurry is disclosed, along with a secondary battery, a battery pack, and an electrical apparatus. The method includes three stirring steps. In a first stirring step, a binder and a solvent are stirred to form a glue solution. In a second stirring step, a positive electrode active material and a conductive agent are added to the glue solution and stirred to form a mixture. In a third stirring step, additional binder and solvent are stirred with the mixture to obtain the positive electrode slurry. The binder and solvent used in the first and third stirring steps are of the same types. Based on the total mass of binder, 50-70% is added during the first stirring and 30-50% during the third. Similarly, 50-70% of the solvent is added in the first stirring and 30-50% in the third.

  • Patent number: 9534652
    Abstract: A shock absorber includes a push rod, a first piston, a cylinder, a piston rod, a second piston, and a third piston. The cylinder and the first piston cooperatively define a first oil cavity. The second piston, the first piston, and the cylinder cooperatively define a second oil cavity. The third piston and the cylinder cooperatively define a gas cavity. The first piston is configured to urge the hydraulic oil of the second oil cavity to flow into the first oil cavity and the third oil cavity in event the push rod is pushed. The third piston is configured to compress the gas in the gas cavity in event the third piston is urged toward the gas cavity, thereby creating a damping effect.
