  • Publication number: 20250329707
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a secondary battery, including a first charging step to SOC 10% or less and a high-temperature aging step in the battery activation step. In the method for manufacturing a secondary battery, gases generated after the first charging step are removed through the subsequent high-temperature aging step, and thus the electrode shows improved charging uniformity in the subsequent charging step, and the battery shows increased available capacity.

  • Patent number: 10439188
    Abstract: A lithium secondary battery includes a cathode, an anode, a separator interposed between the cathode and the anode, and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution obtained by dissolving lithium salt in a non-aqueous solvent. The separator includes a porous substrate having pores; and a porous coating layer located on at least one surface of the porous substrate and having inorganic particles and a binder polymer, the inorganic particles being connected and fixed to each other by means of the binder polymer, the porous coating layer having pores therein formed by interstitial volumes among the inorganic particles. The non-aqueous electrolyte solution has a viscosity of 1.4 cP or above at 25° C. This lithium secondary battery gives improved safety and excellent charging/discharging characteristics due to a low risk of leakage of a non-aqueous electrolyte solution and good wettability of separator with the solvent.
