Abstract: A lithium secondary battery includes an electrode assembly having two electrodes and a separator interposed between the two electrodes, and a case for storing the electrode assembly, wherein the separator is formed by using a binder and a filler including a solid electrolyte having lithium ion conductivity. The lithium secondary battery has a separator and an electrolyte capable of increasing internal ion-conductivity. Also, a lithium secondary battery has a separator capable of safely preventing a short circuit between the electrodes in a possibly high temperature.

Abstract: A lithium ion secondary battery and a jelly-roll type electrode assembly in a lithium ion secondary battery including a can and a cap assembly together with the electrode assembly. The electrode assembly is made up of two electrodes; a ceramic separator coating on at least one surface among the four surfaces of the two electrode plates and located between the two opposing electrodes; and porous polymer resin separation films placed between the electrode plates at certain locations where the plates are bent to relatively small radii of curvature and outward from an innermost portion of a core, and/or at terminal ends of the electrode plates, respectively.
