  • Patent number: 9318733
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an electrode assembly mounted in a battery case of a secondary battery. The electrode assembly is configured to have a structure in which a cathode and an anode are stacked in a state in which a separator plate is disposed between the cathode and the anode. The electrode assembly includes an even number of unit cells, each of the unit cells having a structure in which the uppermost electrode plate and the lowermost electrode plate have the same polarity. The electrode assembly has a stair-like structure.

  • Patent number: 9252452
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are an electrode assembly and a composite electrode assembly mounted in a battery case of a secondary battery. The electrode assembly and the composite electrode assembly have a stair-like structure. The stair-like structure is formed based on the curvature of a device to utilize a dead space of the device, thereby improving the capacity of the device per unit volume.
