Abstract: A pouch-type secondary battery comprises an electrode assembly, and a pouch case surrounding the electrode assembly. At least three surfaces, among four surfaces of a side surface in a thickness direction of the electrode assembly, include a sealed portion. An electrode lead is drawn out from a sealed portion of at least one of the three sealed portions. The pouch-type secondary battery includes a fire extinguishing device on an external surface of the pouch case.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a precursor composition for a polymer electrolyte including two types of crosslinking agents and a gel polymer electrolyte formed therefrom.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a visible light-responsive photocatalyst with an excellent removal efficiency of environmental contaminants, and a method of preparing the same. According to the present invention, the TiO2 surface having an increased visible light absorbance due to nitrogen-doping has been modified into a hydrophilic surface using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), i.e., a silicon-carbon precursor, and thereby significantly improved the removal efficiency of environmental contaminants under visible light. Additionally, the photocatalyst of the present invention for removing environmental contaminants is applicable to environment-friendly fields such as removal of volatile organic compounds, air purification, wastewater treatment and sterilization, and enables to remove contaminants by being attached to the surfaces of external walls of buildings, construction materials, glass windows, sound-absorbing walls, road facilities, signboards, etc., while preventing damages by sunlight.
