  • Publication number: 20250025957
    Abstract: An apparatus for welding a secondary battery electrode assembly is disclosed. The electrode assembly may have negative electrodes alternatingly interleaved with positive electrodes. The apparatus may be configured to weld a plurality of non-coated electrode tabs using a sonotrode horn, each of the tabs extending from a respective one of the electrodes having a first same polarity. The sonotrode horn may include a vibration-applying plate and a horn pattern region having a protrusion-type unit pitch pattern disposed on the vibration-applying plate. A radius of curvature of a side surface of the protrusion-type unit pitch pattern disposed at an outer edge of the horn pattern region may be directly proportional to a number of the non-coated electrode tabs. A tip sharpness of the protrusion-type unit pitch pattern disposed at an outer edge of the horn pattern region may be inversely proportional to a number of the non-coated electrode tabs.

  • Patent number: 12070813
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are an electrode having improved electrode tab welding characteristics configured such that one or more non-coated electrode tabs are provided for a plurality of stacked electrodes having the same polarity in order to maintain welding safety in the case in which the number of electrode layers that are stacked is increased in order to achieve high output and capacity, and a secondary battery including the same. Consequently, it is possible to prevent a plurality of electrode tabs from being cut at the time of welding the electrode tabs. In addition, the lower end of an electrode lead that is welded to non-coated electrode tabs provided for a plurality of stacked electrodes having the same polarity is punched so as to correspond to the non-coated electrode tabs. Consequently, it is possible to improve flexibility for a step formed in the secondary battery electrode.

  • Publication number: 20230314677
    Abstract: Proposed is a 3-dimensional resonant structure-based infrared selective emitter capable of maximizing the infrared selective radiation function by broadening the emissivity in the non-detection bands with resonance phenomena between multiple resonator units at the same time as securing infrared camouflage and energy dissipation-resultant surface thermal stability by reducing the emissivity significantly in the infrared detection band and selectively dissipating energy to the non-detection bands.
