Abstract: Disclosed is an electrode assembly, a battery, and a battery pack and a vehicle including the same. In the electrode assembly, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a separator interposed therebetween are wound based on a winding axis to define a core and an outer circumference. The first electrode includes a first active material portion coated with an active material layer and a first uncoated portion not coated with an active material layer along a winding direction. At least a part of the first uncoated portion is defined as an electrode tab by itself. The first uncoated portion includes a first portion adjacent to the core of the electrode assembly, a second portion adjacent to the outer circumference of the electrode assembly, and a third portion interposed between the first portion and the second portion. The first portion or the second portion has a smaller height than the third portion in the winding axis direction.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electrode assembly, a battery, and a battery pack and a vehicle including the same. In the electrode assembly, a first electrode, a second electrode, and a separator interposed therebetween are wound based on an axis to define a core and an outer circumference. The first electrode includes an uncoated portion at a long side end thereof and exposed out of the separator along a winding axis direction of the electrode assembly. A part of the uncoated portion is bent in a radial direction of the electrode assembly to form a bending surface region that includes overlapping layers of the uncoated portion, and in a partial region of the bending surface region, the number of stacked layers of the uncoated portion is 10 or more in the winding axis direction of the electrode assembly.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a positive electrode active material, and a lithium secondary battery using a positive electrode including the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a positive electrode active material that has increased efficiency in the diffusion of lithium ions and/or charges and increased structural stability by locally forming regions with different concentrations of an arbitrary transition metal in a primary particle, and a lithium secondary battery using a positive electrode including the same.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a positive electrode active material for a lithium secondary battery which can simultaneously improve electrochemical properties and stability, which are in a mutual trade-off relationship, by introducing a step structure to a surface part of a lithium composite oxide constituting the positive electrode active material, and a lithium secondary battery including the same.

Abstract: A semiconductor light emitting device package may include: a package body having first and second electrode structures; and a light emitting diode chip mounted on the second electrode structure of the package body, the light emitting diode chip including: a support substrate, a light emitting structure including a second conductivity type semiconductor layer, an active layer and a first conductivity type semiconductor layer sequentially stacked on the support substrate, a transparent electrode layer disposed on the first conductivity type semiconductor layer, and an insulating layer disposed on at least a side surface of the light emitting structure. The transparent electrode layer and the first electrode structure may be connected to each other by a side electrode disposed on a side surface of the light emitting diode chip.
