  • Patent number: 9991520
    Abstract: A flexible secondary battery includes an exterior member having an accommodation space inside, a cathode collector and an anode collector located in the accommodation space and spaced apart from each other, a cathode active material portion on the cathode collector, and an anode active material portion on the anode collector. The cathode collector includes a first connection portion extending in a first direction and a plurality of first leg portions protruding from the first connection portion in a second direction different from the first direction. The anode collector includes a second connection portion parallel to the first connection portion and a plurality of second leg portions protruding from the second connection portion toward the first connection portion. The first leg portions and the second leg portions are alternately arranged between the first connection portion and the second connection portion. The cathode active material portion is located only on the first leg portions.

  • Patent number: 9698390
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an extremely deformable structure comprising a basic displacement unit having an embedded form, in which m polygonal basic unit cells are disposed adjacent to each other, m separation parts are formed among the m basic unit cells, a junction part connecting the basic unit cells to each other is formed between the basic unit cells in which the junction part has a junction part pattern in which an external junction part disposed at the outer portion of the basic unit cell and an internal junction part which is not in contact with the outer portion of the basic unit cell are sequentially repeated, and the relative positions of the m basic unit cells are changed according to the junction part pattern, and thus, are activated (here, m is an integer of 4 or 6). Further, the present disclosure relates to a lithium secondary battery made from the extremely deformable structure.
