Publication number: 20230015931Abstract: An electrode assembly manufacturing method includes the steps of: assembling an electrode stack; performing a primary heat press operation on the electrode stack while engaging the electrode stack with a gripper; and then performing a secondary heat press operation on the electrode stack while the gripper is disengaged from the electrode stack. The secondary heat press operation may include applying heat and pressure to the electrode stack for a time period from 5 seconds to 60 seconds under a temperature condition from 50° C. to 90° C. and under a pressure condition from 1 Mpa to 6 Mpa. The step of assembling the electrode stack may include alternately stacking first and second electrodes on an elongated separator sheet, and sequentially folding the separator sheet over a previously-stacked one of the electrodes before a subsequent electrode is stacked. An apparatus for performing the manufacturing method is also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: LG Energy Solution, Ltd.Inventors: Se Hyun Yoon, Beomsu Kim, Yong Nam Kim, Heeyong Kim, Dong Hyeuk Park, Dong Myung Kim, Jae Han Jung

Publication number: 20230013024Abstract: An electrode assembly includes a plurality of electrodes arranged in a stack along a stacking axis with a respective separator portion of an elongated separator sheet positioned between and winding around each of the electrodes in the stack along a serpentine path. The plurality of electrodes include a top electrode positioned at a top of the stack along the stacking axis, and the plurality of electrodes include a bottom electrode positioned at a bottom of the stack. The separator portions in the stack include a top separator portion abutting the top electrode and a bottom separator portion abutting the bottom electrode. The bottom electrode may have a thickness along the stacking axis that is from 80% to 120% of a thickness of the top electrode along the stacking axis. Moreover, a maximum thickness of each of the electrodes in the stack may be less than 8.3 mm.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: LG Energy Solution, Ltd.Inventors: Se Hyun Yoon, Beomsu Kim, Yong Nam Kim, Heeyong Kim, Dong Hyeuk Park, Dong Myung Kim, Jae Han Jung

Publication number: 20230015260Abstract: An electrode assembly includes a plurality of electrodes arranged in a stack along a stacking axis, where each of the electrodes is separated from a successive one of the electrodes in the stack by a respective planar portion of an elongated separator sheet. The elongated separator sheet may be folded between each planar portion such that the elongated separator sheet follows a serpentine path traversing back and forth orthogonal to the stacking axis to extend between each successive one of the electrodes in the stack. First lateral ends of a plurality of electrodes may be offset by a first distance in the orthogonal dimension with respect to the first lateral end of either the first electrode in the stack or one of the two adjacent electrodes in the stack, where the first distance is no more than 10% of a lateral width of any select one of the electrodes.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2022Publication date: January 19, 2023Applicant: LG Energy Solution, Ltd.Inventors: Se Hyun Yoon, Beomsu Kim, Heeyong Kim, Yong Nam Kim, Jeongwoo Hong
