  • Publication number: 20240128554
    Abstract: A button type secondary battery includes a wound electrode assembly; a lower can with the electrode assembly and an electrolyte in the lower can; a top plate to close the lower can; a positive electrode terminal coupled to the top plate through a gasket to be electrically insulated from the top plate with a portion of the positive electrode terminal passing through a hole in the top plate to be bonded to a positive electrode tab; a top insulator covering a top surface of the electrode assembly; and a bottom insulator covering a bottom surface of the electrode assembly. The top insulator and the bottom insulator are each configured to expand in volume by absorbing the electrolyte. Surfaces of at least one or more of the top insulator and the bottom insulator are coated with a protective layer configured to prevent thermal shrinkage from occurring.
