Abstract: A high capacity lithium secondary battery includes a lithium manganese oxide having a layered structure exhibiting a great irreversible capacity in the event of overcharging at a high voltage and a spinel-based lithium manganese oxide. Because it is activated at a high voltage of 4.45 V or higher based on a positive electrode potential, additional lithium for utilizing a 3V range of the spinel-based lithium manganese oxide can be provided and an even profile in the entire SOC area can be obtained. Because the lithium secondary battery includes the mixed positive electrode active material including the spinel-based lithium manganese oxide and the lithium manganese oxide having a layered structure, and is charged at a high voltage, its stability can be improved. Also, the high capacity battery having a large available SOC area and improved stability without causing an output shortage due to a rapid voltage drop in the SOC area can be implemented.

Abstract: Disclosed is a bipolar electrode/separator assembly including a bipolar electrode-adhesive film assembly including a bipolar electrode holding active materials, having different polarities, on central portions of top and bottom surfaces of a collector, respectively, and adhesive films on both top and bottom surfaces of the collector with respect to at least two of four edge surfaces of the collector on which electrode layers are not coated in the bipolar electrode, and a separator stacked on one or both top and bottom surfaces of the bipolar electrode-adhesive film assembly, wherein the collector and the separator are directly bonded by the adhesive film to thereby seal the bipolar electrode. A bipolar battery including the bipolar electrode/separator assembly and methods of manufacturing the same are also disclosed. A battery having desired capacity and voltage is provided by electrically connecting such bipolar electrode/separator assemblies either in series or in parallel according to usage.
