  • Patent number: 10483502
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a battery cell configured to have a structure in which an electrode assembly, including positive electrodes and negative electrodes stacked in the state in which separators are disposed respectively between the positive electrodes and the negative electrodes, is mounted in a cell case in the state in which the electrode assembly is impregnated with an electrolyte, wherein the electrode assembly and the cell case are deformable in response to the shape of a device in which the battery cell is mounted, and anti-wrinkle members, for preventing wrinkles from being formed in the cell case when the cell case is deformed, are added to at least portions of the outer surfaces of the electrode assembly.

  • Patent number: 10090492
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a battery cell having an electrode assembly mounted in a variable cell case in a state in which the electrode assembly is impregnated with an electrolyte, the battery cell being configured to be flexibly deformed in response to the shape of a device, in which the battery cell is mounted, wherein an uppermost end electrode and/or a lowermost end electrode of the electrode assembly in the direction in which electrodes are stacked is provided on an electrode current collector thereof, facing the inner surface of the cell case, with an electrode mixture including inert particles, 10 to 100% of the inert particles being distributed on the surface of the electrode mixture such that a concave-convex structure is formed in the surface of the electrode mixture in vertical section.

  • Patent number: 10014497
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a battery cell configured such that an electrode assembly having a positive electrode/separator/negative electrode structure is received in an electrode assembly receiving part formed in a pouch-type battery case in a sealed state together with an electrolyte, wherein the battery case is provided with sealed parts, formed by thermally welding the outer edge of the battery case in the state in which the electrode assembly is received in the battery case together with the electrolyte, one or more recesses are formed in opposite side sealed parts adjacent to an upper end sealed part, at which electrode terminals are located, and/or a lower end sealed part in a state in which the recesses are formed from outsides of the side sealed parts toward a vertical middle axis of the battery cell so as to prevent wrinkles from being formed in the sealed parts of the battery case when the battery cell is bent, and portions of the side sealed parts in which the recesses are located are sealed at a higher
