Abstract: A rechargeable battery includes an electrode assembly including a first electrode plate, a second electrode plate, and a separator, a case accommodating the electrode assembly and having both ends open, a first cap plate coupled to one end of the case, a second cap plate coupled to the other end of the case, a first cover member disposed to cover the first cap plate and including a first electrode terminal exposed upwardly, and a second cover member disposed to cover the second cap plate and including a second electrode terminal exposed upwardly. A first electrode lead of the electrode assembly passes through the first cap plate to be electrically connected to the first electrode terminal of the first cover member, and a second electrode lead of the electrode assembly passes through the second cap plate to be electrically connected to the second electrode terminal of the second cover member.

Abstract: An apparatus for constructing a library for deriving a material composition using empirical result, which enables acceleration of research on the material-properties relationship. By applying the empirical results of the material composition, missing data of the material compositions can be statistically calculated by using supervised non-linear imputation techniques. The completed composition information of the materials is passed as an input of machine learning material-properties relationship prediction.
