Abstract: An impeller mixer of electrode slurry includes a container (100) filled with raw materials of electrode slurry, impellers (110) have different shapes from each other and are multi-layered, the impellers being rotatably provided in the container (100) and configured to mix the raw materials of electrode slurry, and a driving part (120) disposed on a bottom portion of the container (100) and coupled to the impellers (110) through a coupling shaft to rotate the impeller, wherein the coupling shaft is disposed above the driving part. Therefore, multi-layered impellers (11) rotating at a high speed efficiently disperse raw materials of electrode slurry in a short time and also allow the raw materials to be uniformly mixed, resulting in an increase in work efficiency.

The method includes forming a unit structure, which comprises a stacked structure formed by sequentially stacking a first electrode, a first separator, a second electrode, and a second separator, or a structure formed by repeatedly forming the stacked structure a plurality of times (operation S10), forming the electrode assembly by repeatedly stacking the unit structure into a plurality of layers (operation S20), and discharging gas interposed between the layers by pressing the electrode assembly (operation S30).

Abstract: Provided is a cathode including a cathode current collector, a cathode tab protruding from the cathode current collector, and an insulation layer coated with an insulating material on the cathode tab, and a secondary battery including the cathode. Since the cathode of the present invention includes an insulation layer on a cathode tab, the present invention may prevent an internal short circuit which may occur due to cell deformation or sharp edges of electrodes, which are formed during cutting of the electrodes in a preparation process of the battery, when the electrodes are stacked, or may prevent a physical short circuit between the cathode and the anode due to shrinkage of a separator in a high-temperature atmosphere. In a case where the cathode is used in a lithium secondary battery, safety and reliability in battery performance may be significantly improved.
