  • Publication number: 20190229321
    Abstract: The present application relates to the field of battery, discloses an electrode-assembly and a battery, wherein the electrode-assembly includes a body with a first wall and a current blocker arranged on the first wall. The first wall of the body is close to the internal structure of the body, and its temperature is relatively close to the internal temperature of the body as compared with the seal side of the electrode-assembly; in above electrode-assembly, since the current blocker is directly attached to the first wall of the body, the heat inside the body can be quickly conducted to the current blocker through the first wall, so the current blocker of the electrode-assembly can be triggered more timely to reduce or cut off the current for effectively protecting the electrode-assembly.

  • Publication number: 20190198852
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a cell and a battery, wherein the cell comprises a body including a first electrode tab; and a choke that triggers after the temperature reaches a certain value to reduce the current passing through it; the choke is electrically connected to the first electrode tab, and a product of the length of connection path from the choke to the first electrode tab and a cooling coefficient of the connection path is smaller than a difference between a first temperature of the first electrode tab and a second temperature of the choke, wherein the second temperature of the choke is a temperature when the choke is triggered. In the above-mentioned cell, if the trigger action of the choke is timely, the body of the cell can be prevented from reaching the overcharge state, and the choke in the above-mentioned cell can further effectively protect the cell.

  • Publication number: 20190165409
    Abstract: The present application provides a battery cell including a first electrode, a second electrode, and a separator disposed therebetween, wherein the separator comprises an extension portion beyond the first electrode and the second electrode at an end portion of the battery cell. The battery cell further includes an adhesive layer including a body and a connecting portion extending from the body. The body is adhered to the extension portion, and the connecting portion is adhered to the extension portion. It is an object of the present application to provide a battery cell that effectively eliminates invalidation resulted from short circuit caused by the separator shrinkage. The present application further provides an electrochemical device and a method of manufacturing thereof.
