  • Patent number: 8895174
    Abstract: A cable-type secondary battery is provided. The cable-type secondary battery includes an electrode assembly and a covering capable of surrounding the electrode assembly. The electrode assembly includes a first polarity electrode, a second polarity electrode, and a separator or an electrolyte layer interposed between the two electrodes. Each of the electrodes has an elongated shape and a structure in which an electrode active material is applied to the surface of a current collector whose shape in cross section orthogonal to the lengthwise direction thereof is circular, elliptical or polygonal. The covering includes a thermally conductive cover member as an upper half part and a thermally insulating cover member as a lower half part. The upper half part and the lower half part are divided by a horizontal plane passing the center of the cross section orthogonal to the lengthwise direction of the cable-type secondary battery.

  • Patent number: 8617258
    Abstract: Provided is a method for manufacturing a cable-type secondary battery including preparing an electrode assembly having a horizontal cross section of a predetermined shape and extending longitudinally, the electrode assembly including an inner current collector, an anode active material layer, a cathode active material layer, and an electrolyte layer interposed between the anode active material layer and the cathode active material layer, preparing a heat-shrinkable protection coating by forming a thin-film outer current collector on the inner surface of a heat-shrinkable tube, and inserting the electrode assembly into the heat-shrinkable protection coating and heating to shrink the heat-shrinkable protection coating such that the shrunken protection coating is closely adhered to the outer surface of the electrode assembly. The manufacturing method may eliminate the need of post-processing such as drying, thereby simplifying the method and carrying out the method in a continuous manner.
