Abstract:
Certain embodiments of the disclosure relate to a bimodal-type cathode active material for a lithium ion battery. The cathode active material includes a mixture of layered LiCoO2 large particles and manganese-based olivine structural small particles. The manganese-based olivine structural small particles may be represented by chemical formula LiCoxMnyFezPO4 (0≤x≤1, 0
Abstract:
A flexible electrochemical device in which a plurality of electrode assemblies is electrically connected to each other so that the flexible electrochemical device may be repeatedly bent, includes at least two electrode assemblies that are arranged separate from each other and a casing member that packs the at least two electrode assemblies and includes at least two accommodation portions in which electrode assemblies are individually received, and a connecting portion that connects the at least two adjacent accommodation portions where a path between a conductive line that electrically connects at least two electrode assemblies together and an electrolyte is defined in the connecting portion.
Abstract:
An anode active material includes: a core including a metal or a metalloid that can incorporate and deincorporate lithium ions; and a plurality of coating layers on a surface of the core, each coating layer including a metal oxide, an amorphous carbonaceous material, or combination thereof. Also, a lithium battery including the anode active material, and a method of preparing the anode active material.
Abstract:
A flexible secondary battery includes an electrode stack structure including a first electrode layer, a second electrode layer opposite to the first electrode layer and a separator formed between the first electrode layer and the second electrode layer, and a fixing unit disposed in the electrode stack structure at an area excluding opposing end portions of the electrode stack structure, where the fixing unit fixes portions of the first electrode layer, the second electrode layer and the separator, which correspond thereto, to each other. The fixing unit may be disposed at a center portion or an area adjacent to the center portion of the electrode stack structure.
