  • Publication number: 20240243384
    Abstract: Proposed is a secondary battery, including a battery cell having electrode tabs extending outwardly, a heat-shrinkable tube covering an outer perimeter surface of the battery cell, and a heat dissipation member interposed between the outer perimeter surface of the battery cell and the heat-shrinkable tube and disposed in extending directions of the electrode tabs. The heat dissipation member dissipates heat generated in the battery cell to the outside.

  • Patent number: 8523958
    Abstract: A method of fabricating a lithium secondary battery, which improves charge-discharge characteristics, lifespan, and temperature characteristics of the battery and which includes interposing a separator between a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate, thus manufacturing an electrode assembly; housing the electrode assembly in a battery case, introducing an additive-containing electrolytic solution, and then sealing the battery case; subjecting the sealed battery case to pre-charging, and then removing gas generated by the pre-charging; subjecting the battery case to formation; and removing gas generated by the formation, wherein the additive is one or more selected from among LiF2BC2O4, 3,9-divinyl-2,4,8,10-tetraoxaspiro[5,5]undecane, LiB(C2O4)2, poly(ethyleneglycol)borate and derivatives thereof, halogen-substituted carbonate, and vinyl silane, and the pre-charging is conducted in a range of 10% or less of a battery capacity.
