  • Publication number: 20240136572
    Abstract: An all-solid-state battery having an increased lifespan is equipped with a pressure pad layer. More particularly, the all-solid-state battery includes a unit cell and a pressuring pad layer. The unit cell is composed of a cathode, an anode, and a solid electrolyte layer positioned between the cathode and the anode. The pressurizing pad layer is positioned on each side of the unit cell and includes a non-porous upper layer, a non-porous lower layer, and a porous core layer positioned between the non-porous upper layer and the non-porous lower layer.

  • Publication number: 20230395839
    Abstract: An all-solid-state battery, in which a cathode part and an anode part are coupled in a state of being folded in a zigzag form, is disclosed. The cathode part has a shape folded in a zigzag form such that the cathode part is divided into unit areas each corresponding to an area of a unit cathode. The anode part has a shape folded in a zigzag form such that the anode part is divided into unit areas each corresponding to an area of a unit anode. A protrusion portion of the cathode part may be inserted into a recessed portion of the anode part, and a protrusion portion of the anode part may be inserted into a recessed portion of the cathode part.
