Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a cap assembly loaded on an open upper end of a cylindrical container of a battery configured to have a structure in which an electrode assembly (jelly roll) of a cathode/separator/anode structure is mounted in the cylindrical container, the cap assembly including a safety vent connected to a current interruptive device (CID) for safety, a protruding top cap connected to the safety vent along an outer circumference thereof, and a gasket mounted at an outer circumference of the top cap, wherein a cathode tab is attached to a cathode active material-uncoated portion of the cathode by welding and the gasket is provided with at least one groove depressed upward from an outer circumference of a lower end of the gasket for easy welding between the CID and the cathode tab at the time of manufacturing the battery.
Abstract:
Cap assembly, coupled to an open end of a battery can free from a beading portion, includes a top cap at an uppermost portion in a protrusive form forming a cathode terminal, a safety element below the top cap contacting the top cap, a safety vent contacting the safety element, a gasket surrounding outer circumferences of top cap, the safety element and vent, a cover surrounding the gasket so the top cap, safety element and vent adhere to each other, and a welding member at an upper portion of the cover having an outer end protruding more outwards than the outer end of the cover placed on the open end of the battery can, the welding member having a first notch at an upper surface thereof, protruding more than the outer end of the cover, and welded to the open end of the battery can where first notch is formed.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a unit cell including the steps of: preparing an electrode and a separator individually, wherein the separator includes a porous polymer substrate and a porous coating layer disposed on at least one surface of the porous polymer substrate and including a mixture of inorganic particles with a binder polymer; applying a lamination solvent to the surface of the separator to be bound with the electrode; and carrying out lamination of the electrode with the separator before the lamination solvent is dried. The method according to the present disclosure can solve the problem of shrinking of a separator occurring in the conventional lamination process.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus for manufacturing an electrode or a solid electrolyte for an all-solid-state battery. The apparatus for manufacturing an electrode or a solid electrolyte for an all-solid-state battery includes a first roller member configured to press an electrode or a solid electrolyte for an all-solid-state battery, and a second roller member located to be spaced apart from the first roller member to press the electrode or the solid electrolyte for an all-solid-state battery. The first roller member and the second roller member are disposed at opposite locations based on the electrode or the solid electrolyte for an all-solid-state battery.
Abstract:
A seal tape capable of preventing an electrode assembly from moving in a secondary battery, and a secondary battery using the same are disclosed. The seal tape for a secondary battery is attached to the outer surface of the electrode assembly which is received in a battery case, and includes a first adhesive layer having an adhesive surface adhered to the outer surface of the electrode assembly, a second adhesive layer having an adhesive surface at a side opposite to the adhesive surface of the first adhesive layer so as to adhere to an inner surface of the battery case, and a protective layer formed on the second adhesive layer, wherein the protective layer is entirely or partially removed by reating with an electrolyte of the secondary battery.
Abstract:
A secondary battery having no beading portion includes an electrode assembly having a cathode plate and an anode plate arranged with a separator being interposed therebetween, a battery case having an upper can configured to accommodate the electrode assembly and an electrolytic solution in an inner space thereof and have an open top and an open bottom, the top of the upper can being bent inwards, and a lower sealing member coupled to the bottom of the upper can to seal the bottom of the upper can, and a cap assembly having a top cap protruding on an uppermost portion thereof to form a cathode terminal, a safety vent located below the top cap and configured to change a shape when an inner pressure of the battery case increases, and a gasket surrounding rims of the top cap and the safety vent.

Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to an electrochemical device and a battery module having improved anti-vibration. In the electrochemical device and the battery module according to one embodiment of the present disclosure which are mounted in electrically powered tools or other equipments, tap holders for providing vibration-resistance are provided on the outer surface of a cathode tap or an anode tap exposed to the outside of the electrochemical device or the battery module, thereby dispersing external force applied to the cathode tap or the anode tap to prevent the cathode tap or the anode tap from being damaged, and immobilizing the cathode tap or the anode tap to prevent an external short circuit, and eventually to improve the stability of the electrochemical device and the battery module.
Abstract:
A tape for fixing an electrode assembly and a method of manufacturing a battery are provided. The tape for fixing an electrode assembly can effectively fix an electrode assembly in a can by realizing a 3D shape by means of an electrolyte. Thus, the tape can be useful in preventing the electrode assembly from moving and rotating inside a can by external vibration or impact and also preventing damage of welded regions of a tab or disconnection of inner circuits.
