Abstract: A pouch type lithium secondary battery includes a crude cell equipped with electrode leads and electrode tabs, a battery case for sealing the crude cell, and insulating materials provided on an inner surface of the battery case in which the electrode leads and the electrode tabs are disposed. In a method of fabricating a pouch type lithium secondary battery comprising a crude cell equipped with electrode leads and electrode tabs, and a battery case for sealing the crude cell, the battery case is comprised of a first receiving portion for receiving the crude cell and a second receiving portion for receiving the electrode leads. The method includes the steps of processing insulating materials on an inner surface of the second receiving portion, inserting the crude cell into the battery case, and sealing the battery case.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a crude cell for a large secondary battery comprising unit cells alternately stacked in the fold/fold type or a crude cell for a large secondary battery comprising unit cells wound and stacked in the jelly roll type, each unit cell having an anode, a cathode and a separator, in which a polymer film is inserted in the crude cell to support the crude cell. According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent structural distortion caused by external impact and self reaction of the crude cell by firmly supporting the crude cell. Consequently, it is possible to prevent short of the anode and the cathode in the crude cell by electrical connection and to improve interfacial properties of the anode, the cathode and the separator.
