Abstract

The present application relates to the filed of an energy storage component, and in particular, relates to an electrode assembly, and a lithium ion electric roll using the electrode assembly. The electrode assembly comprises a bare electric roll and an anti-puncture cushion; wherein the bare electric roll comprises at least one electrode unit, the electrode unit comprising a cathode sheet, an anode sheet, and a separator, wherein the cathode sheet is isolated from the anode sheet by the separator; and the anti-puncture cushion is arranged on two sides along a width direction of the bare electric roll, and covers an edge of the anode sheet. A lithium ion electric roll comprises a laminated aluminum film and the electrode assembly, wherein the electrode assembly is wrapped by the laminated aluminum film.

Claims

1. An electrode assembly, comprising:

a bare electric roll including a top portion formed at a terminal side thereof, a bottom portion formed at a side of the bare electric roll opposite to the terminal side, two first surfaces extending along a width direction and a length direction of the bare electric roll, and two second surfaces extending along a thickness direction and the length direction of the bare electric roll; and

an anti-puncture cushion,

wherein the bare electric roll comprises at least one electrode unit, the electrode unit comprising a cathode sheet, an anode sheet, and a separator, wherein the cathode sheet is isolated from the anode sheet by the separator,

wherein the anti-puncture cushion is arranged on each of the two second surfaces and extends to the two first surfaces, and covers an edge of the anode sheet, and

wherein an edge of the anti-puncture cushion exceeds the bottom portion of the anode sheet.

2. The electrode assembly according to claim 1, wherein the bare electric roll comprises a plurality of electrode units, the plurality of electrode units being sequentially arranged in a stacking manner along a thickness direction, and the anode sheet in each of the plurality of electrode units being covered by the anti-puncture cushion.

3. The electrode assembly according to claim 2, wherein an edge of the anti-puncture cushion along a top direction of the bare electric roll exceeds the anode sheet.

4. The electrode assembly according to claim 2, wherein in the bare electric roll, a rib structure is formed on two sides or on one side along the width direction of the bear electric roll by at least one group of two adjacent electrode units, and the anti-puncture cushion further wraps the rib structure.

5. The electrode assembly according to claim 4, wherein the widths of the adjacent electrode units are different.

6. The electrode assembly according to claim 4, wherein the adjacent electrode units are partially staggered along a width direction.

7. The electrode assembly according to claim 4, wherein the electrode units comprise one or more of:

lamination-type electrode units, convolution-type electrode units, and folding-type electrode units.

8. The electrode assembly according to claim 4, wherein the anti-puncture cushion is adhered on two sides along the width direction of the bare electric roll, and completely wraps two sides of the bare electric roll.

9. The electrode assembly according to claim 8, wherein the anti-puncture cushion is a tape.

10. A lithium ion electric roll, comprising a laminated aluminum film and the electrode assembly according to claim 1, wherein the electrode assembly is wrapped by the laminated aluminum film.

11. The electrode assembly according to claim 1, wherein the portion of the edge of the anti-puncture cushion, exceeding the bottom portion of the anode sheet, is bendable, and corners of the anode sheet are completely wrapped by the anti-puncture cushion.
