  • Patent number: 8192874
    Abstract: Disclosed is a lithium secondary battery using a cathode containing a lithium-containing transition metal oxide and an anode containing graphitized carbon, characterized in that an ammonium compound capable of providing ammonium ions is added to a non-aqueous electrolyte. Therefore, the present invention provides a lithium secondary battery having improved high-temperature performance by reducing decreases of residual capacity and recovery capacity resulting from high-temperature storage of the battery, via addition of such an ammonium compound.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7879491
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a stacking type electrode assembly constructed in a cathode/separator/anode structure, wherein the electrode assembly is provided at a predetermined region thereof with at least one through-hole, and a pair of holding members (a male coupling member and a female coupling member) constructed in a male-female coupling type structure is inserted through the through-hole inside a battery case, an outer surface of the female coupling member being brought into tight contact with the through-hole when the male coupling member is inserted into the female coupling member while the female coupling member having an outer diameter less than an inner diameter of the through-hole is inserted through the through-hole, and a secondary battery including the same.

  • Patent number: 7749660
    Abstract: Provided is a battery electrolyte comprising an electrolyte salt, an electrolyte solvent and a compound producing chemical reaction products with the exception of water through a chemical reaction with an acid (H+), and a secondary battery comprising the same. The battery electrolyte according to the present invention can achieve improved high-temperature storage characteristics and the life characteristics of the battery, by using a compound decreasing a concentration of HX (X=F, Cl, Br or I) through a chemical reaction with HX (X=F, Cl, Br or I) which is present in the battery and therefore causes deterioration of the battery performance.

  • Patent number: 7592098
    Abstract: Disclosed is a secondary battery comprising a lithium transition metal oxide as a cathode active material, wherein an organic ammonium compound is added to a cathode and/or is coated on a separator. Therefore, the secondary battery according to the present invention can achieve improvements in residual capacity and recovery capacity even after high-temperature storage of the battery, simultaneously with improved power retention of the battery at low and high temperatures.
