  • Publication number: 20090026662
    Abstract: The present invention provides a novel hybrid polymer electrolyte, a lithium secondary battery comprising the hybrid polymer electrolyte polymer and their fabrication methods. More particularly, the present invention provides the hybrid polymer electrolyte comprising superfine fibrous porous polymer matrix with particles having diameter of 1-3000 nm, polymers and lithium salt-dissolved organic electrolyte solutions incorporated into the porous polymer matrix. The hybrid polymer electrolyte has advantages of better adhesion with electrodes, good mechanical strength, better performance at low and high temperatures, better compatibility with organic electrolytes of a lithium secondary battery and it can be applied to the manufacture of lithium secondary batteries.

  • Patent number: 7279251
    Abstract: The present invention provides a lithium secondary battery and its fabrication method. More particularly, the present invention provides a lithium secondary battery comprising a super fine fibrous porous polymer separator film and its fabrication method, wherein the porous polymer separator film is fabricated by the following process: a) melting at least one polymer or dissolving at least one polymer with organic solvents to obtain at least one polymeric melt or at least one polymeric solution; b) adding the obtained polymeric melt or polymeric solution to barrels of an electrospinning machine; and c) discharging the polymeric melt or polymeric solution onto a substrate using a nozzle to form a porous separator film. The lithium secondary battery of the present invention has the advantages of better adhesion with electrodes, good mechanical strength, better performance at low and high temperatures, better compatibility with organic electrolyte solution of a lithium secondary battery.
