  • Publication number: 20230411811
    Abstract: A secondary battery includes a jelly roll type electrode assembly in which a first electrode, a second electrode, and a separator are wound together; a battery case that houses the electrode assembly; and a swelling tape attached to the outer peripheral surface of the electrode assembly. The first electrode includes a first electrode current collector and a first active material layer formed by applying an electrode active material onto the first electrode current collector. The first electrode current collector includes an exposed portion exposed to the outer peripheral surface of the electrode assembly. The swelling tape brings the exposed portion into close contact with the inner wall of the battery case.

  • Patent number: 11476523
    Abstract: Disclosed is a cylindrical battery cell configured such that the outer surface of a cylindrical case excluding electrode terminals is wrapped by a heat-shrinkable tube, wherein the heat-shrinkable tube includes a tube substrate made of a polyester-based resin, the tube substrate being heat-shrinkable; a reinforcement agent, made of a nylon-based resin, for increasing the tensile stress and operating temperature of the heat-shrinkable tube; and an ultraviolet (UV) absorber for absorbing ultraviolet rays radiated to the heat-shrinkable tube and emitting the absorbed ultraviolet rays as thermal energy to prevent the scission of polymer chains of the nylon-based resin or the polyester-based resin as the result of reaction with oxygen.

  • Patent number: 11367911
    Abstract: Disclosed is a cylindrical battery cell in which a heat-shrinkable tube wraps an outer surface of a cylindrical case of the cylindrical battery cell except electrode terminals, the heat-shrinkable tube including: a base material, which is a polyester resin, capable of shrinking by heat; a supplement, which is a nylon resin, capable of increasing a tensile strength and operating temperature of the heat-shrinkable tube; and an ultraviolet stabilizer capable of inhibiting a chain reaction of free radicals generated by cleavage of polymer chains of the nylon resin or the polyester resin, when the heat-shrinkable tube is exposed to an ultraviolet ray irradiation.

  • Publication number: 20200335736
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a cylindrical battery case includes performing an ironing process, which is one of the processes of manufacturing the battery case, a plurality of times in order to decrease the surface roughness of the battery case, thereby improving the corrosion characteristics of the battery case. The surface roughness of the cylindrical battery case is decreased by performing a thickness reducing process when a process for forming the outer circumferential surface of a body of the cylindrical battery case is performed at the time of manufacturing the cylindrical battery case. In addition, corrosion characteristics are improved for respective values of the surface roughness.
