Abstract: Provided is a porous lithium composite phosphate-based compound containing lithium and having open pores formed in primary particles. As the open pores are formed in the primary particles themselves, a contact area between an electrolyte and the lithium composite phosphate-based compound is maximized, and low conductivity is compensated for, such that a diffusion rate of lithium ions is remarkably increased, and when the lithium composite phosphate-based compound is used as an active material of a secondary battery, the secondary battery may be charged and discharged at a high speed. Additionally, there are advantages in that an electrode density may be significantly increased in addition to the increase in the diffusion rate of the lithium ions, and charge and discharge cycle characteristics may be significantly stable.

Abstract: Provided are an electrode aligned state inspection system and method of imaging a stacking process of an electrode plate, inspecting a position of the electrode plate, and determining whether or not a product is defective. When a misalignment occurs during the stacking process of a cathode plate, an anode plate, and a separator, an operator immediately recognizes the occurrence of the misalignment, and therefore, it is possible to improve a quality reliability of the electrode assembly. In addition, since it is determined whether or not the product is defective during a production process of the electrode assembly, an amount of waste may be reduced. The video data obtained by the imaging of the production process of the electrode assembly is automatically stored, and therefore, the data may be used as data that may be checked later when the quality is checked and the defective product is produced.
