Abstract: A battery cell includes an electrode assembly and a battery case. The electrode assembly includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The battery case includes an upper case and a lower case, at least one of the upper case and the lower case being provided with a receiving part, in which the electrode assembly is mounted. One end of each of electrode tabs extending from electrode plates of the electrode assembly is coupled to a corresponding end of an electrode lead, which protrudes outward from the battery case. The electrode lead is provided with at least one notch part configured to rupture in response to expansion deformation of the battery case when the pressure in the battery cell increases to achieve the electrical cutoff of the battery.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for sealing a pouch casing of a pouch-type secondary battery, which includes the steps of: a receiving step in which an electrode assembly is received in an inner space formed between an upper pouch and a lower pouch; and a sealing step in which a first pressure is applied to an outer circumferential sealing portion, where the upper pouch and the lower pouch are sealed, in the longitudinal direction, and then the pressure is relieved, wherein the sealing step is carried out by applying external force to the upper pouch in the upward direction and to the lower pouch in the downward direction, or by applying a second pressure working in perpendicular to the first pressure to the sealing portion from the inner part of the pouch casing in a direction toward the outside.
