Abstract:
A lithium secondary battery includes an internal electrode body including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator. The positive electrode and the negative electrode are wound or laminated via the separator so that the positive electrode and the negative electrode are not brought into direct contact with each other. At least a plurality of tabs for current collecting were provided to have a total cross-sectional area of the tabs be not less than a constant area in accordance with the quality of the material to be used for the tabs so that the tabs to be connected to each of the positive and negative electrodes may not respectively fuse when at least 100 A current has flown through the lithium secondary battery. The lithium secondary battery maintains a good charge-discharge cycle characteristics, and safety may be secured with electricity being cut off when an excess current has occurred due to external short circuit, etc., so that the battery may not be exploded nor be ignited. In particular, the lithium secondary battery may be preferably used for driving a motor of an electric vehicle, etc.
Abstract:
A lithium secondary battery includes: an internal electrode body including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator, the positive electrode and the negative electrode being wound or laminated via the separator, and an organic electrolyte. The active material used in the positive electrode satisfies the following relation between the average particle diameter R (&mgr;m) and the specific surface area S (m2/g): 6≦R×S≦50 The amount of the acetylene black added to the positive electrode active material satisfies the following relation with the specific surface area of the positive electrode active material: S≦W≦S+5 (W≦10) (W is the amount of the acetylene black added to the positive electrode active material, expressed in % by weight based on the amount of the active material, and S is expressed in m2/g.) In this battery, the electron conductivity is improved, and the internal resistance is reduced.
Abstract:
A lithium secondary battery is provided in which even if the depth of discharge becomes deep, lowering of an power is small, and charging and discharging characteristics are excellent, and which is suitably used particularly as a battery for driving a motor of an electric vehicle or the like. In the lithium secondary battery, an internal electrode body formed by winding a lithium manganese positive electrode and a graphite negative electrode through a separator made of porous polymer is contained in a battery case, and an organic electrolyte is used. An power at a depth of discharge of 80% is not smaller than 60% of an power at a depth of discharge of 0%.
