Abstract: A pouch-type battery case includes a cup portion, which accommodates therein an electrode assembly formed by stacking an electrode and a separator, and a plurality of die edges connecting an outer wall of the cup portion to a side extending from the outer wall. The die edges include a first region, which is rounded at a first radius (r1) of curvature and at which an electrode tab extending from the electrode is positioned, and a second region which is other than the first region and rounded at one or more second radii (r2, r3, r4) of curvature less than or equal to the first radius (r1) of curvature. The second region is divided into an inner region and an outer region with respect to the first region, and the radius (r2) of curvature in the inner region differs from the radii (r3, r4) of curvature in the outer region.

Abstract: A secondary battery case accommodates an electrode assembly having a structure in which electrodes and separators are alternately arranged, and includes a first cup having a recessed shape, a second cup having a recessed shape and provided on one side of the first cup, a first peripheral portion surrounding a perimeter of the first cup when the secondary battery case is unfolded, and a second peripheral portion surrounding a perimeter of the second cup when the secondary battery case is unfolded. The first peripheral portion includes a first cup-corresponding peripheral portion that corresponds to a width of the first cup, and the second peripheral portion includes a second cup-corresponding peripheral portion that corresponds to the second cup. The width of the first cup is greater than a length of the first cup-corresponding peripheral portion thereby reducing if not eliminated a bat-ear otherwise formed during manufacture.

Abstract: Disclosed are an exterior for a secondary battery and an apparatus and method for manufacturing the exterior for the secondary battery. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for manufacturing an exterior for a secondary battery comprises: a first step of preparing a sheet and a mold in which a recess part (I) is formed; a second step of locating the sheet so that a portion of the sheet faces the recess part (I); and a third step of supplying a fluid from the side of the mold toward the recess part (I) to form a forming part having a shape corresponding to that of the recess part (I) in an area of the sheet, which is provided on the recess part (I).

Abstract: A cathode active material for a lithium secondary battery includes lithium transition metal oxide particles, wherein the lithium transition metal oxide particles may include first lithium transition metal oxide particles (first particles) including an interparticular pore and second lithium transition metal oxide particles (second particles) having an average particle diameter within a range of a diameter of the interparticular pore, measured by mercury intrusion porosimetry. By including first particles including an interparticular pore and second particles having an average particle diameter within a range of a diameter of the interparticular pore measured by mercury intrusion porosimetry, the cathode active material may have a reduced interparticular pore present therein. Accordingly, the cathode active material may have an improved pellet density. Consequently, when a lithium secondary battery is manufactured using the cathode active material, the energy density thereof may improve.
