  • Patent number: 10790479
    Abstract: A secondary battery including a pouch having recessed portions inwardly recessed at at least one of opposite sides of the pouch, an electrode assembly including first electrode plates, second electrode plates and separators, the separators being disposed between the first electrode plates and second electrode plates, the electrode assembly being inside the pouch, and a lead tab coupled to the electrode assembly and exposed to the outside of the pouch. The separators protrude from the first electrode plates or the second electrode plates by different protruding lengths at different regions corresponding to the recessed portions of the pouch in a thickness direction of the electrode assembly.

  • Publication number: 20160380302
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a curved secondary battery includes fabricating an electrode assembly such that the electrode assembly includes a first electrode plate having a first electrode tab, a second electrode plate having a second electrode tab, and a separator interposed between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate, inserting the electrode assembly into a pouch and injecting a liquid-type gel electrolyte to form a basic secondary battery, wherein the first electrode tab and the second electrode tab protrude from the pouch in a direction, carrying out a first molding to form a curved secondary battery having a curvature, the first molding including placing the basic secondary battery in a jig and pressing, and carrying out a second molding to gel the liquid-type gel electrolyte, the second molding including heating the curved secondary battery in a state in which the curved secondary battery is pressed by the jig.

  • Patent number: 8870978
    Abstract: Provided is a method for fabrication of a jelly-roll type electrode assembly having a cathode/separation membrane/anode laminate structure, including: (a) coating both sides of a porous substrate with organic/inorganic composite layers, each of which includes inorganic particles and an organic polymer as a binder, so as to fabricate a composite membrane; and (b) inserting one end of a sheet laminate comprising a cathode sheet and an anode sheet as well as the composite membrane into a mandrel, winding the sheet laminate around the mandrel, and then, removing the mandrel, wherein the organic/inorganic composite layer includes microfine pores capable of moderating a variation in volume during charge/discharge of a secondary battery and an interfacial friction coefficient between the composite membrane and the mandrel is not more than 0.28.
