Abstract:
The present application provides a lithium-ion battery, which comprises: a wound-type cell formed by winding a positive electrode plate, a separator and a negative electrode plate, a width of the separator is greater than widths of the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate; an electrolyte; and a packaging film packaging the wound-type cell and accommodating the electrolyte; a wound ending of the wound-type cell is adhered with a single-sided adhesive layer, an adhesive of the single-sided adhesive layer is a flowable curing adhesive, the wound-type cell and the packaging film are adhered together by the curing adhesive which flows and flows out from a periphery of the single-sided adhesive layer. The single-sided adhesive layer can prevent the wound-type cell from loosening or deforming, rupturing of the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab and bursting open of a top-seal in the process of dropping or tumbling.

Abstract:
Before an insulation insertion part and/or an insulating contact part is compressed with a compression force, a first insulating member, a second insulating member, a case lid, and/or an insert-through part create a receiving space which allows the insulation insertion part to deform in a shape that reduces a compression stress acting on the insulation insertion part when the insulation insertion part is compressed and receive a deformed portion thereof, and/or a receiving space which allows an insulating member having the insulating contact part to deform in a shape that reduces a compression stress acting on the insulating contact part when the insulating contact part is compressed and receives the deformed portion thereof.

A double-sealed thin film electrochemical pouch cell, comprising a cathode current collector, a cathode, an electrolyte, an anode, and an anode current collector, which is double-sealed by a first inner laminate layer forming a primary seal covered by a second outer polymer layer forming a secondary seal. The second outer polymer layer comprises embedded particles to increase the thermal conductivity of the second outer polymer layer.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a secondary battery constructed in a structure in which an electrode assembly having a cathode/separator/anode arrangement is mounted in a battery case made of a laminate sheet including a resin layer and a metal layer, electrode tabs of the electrode assembly are coupled to corresponding electrode leads, and the electrode assembly is sealed in the battery case while electrode leads are exposed to the outside of the battery case, wherein a protective film is attached to coupling regions between the electrode tabs and the electrode leads for sealing the coupling regions between the electrode tabs and the electrode leads. The secondary battery according to the present invention is constructed in a structure in which the coupling regions are sealed by the protective film, unlike a conventional secondary battery constructed in a structure in which the coupling regions between the electrode tabs and the electrode leads are exposed in the battery case. As a result, the electrode leads are protected from external impacts, such as falling of the battery. Consequently, no internal short circuit occurs, and therefore, the safety of the battery is increased.
