摘要:
A lithium ion secondary battery has a shape memory safety vent adapted to discharge internal compressed gas by temporarily being opened when the temperature reaches a predetermined level to avoid a swelling phenomenon of the battery and improve safety. The lithium ion secondary battery includes an electrode assembly having first and second electrode plates wound a number of times with a separator interposed between them; a can having an opening formed on a side thereof to contain the electrode assembly; and a cap plate adapted to cover the can and provided with a vent hole on a side thereof, to which a safety vent adapted to deform at a predetermined temperature and discharge gas from inside the can to the exterior is coupled.

A cylindrical lithium ion battery and a method of manufacturing the same. A center pin is easily inserted into a space within an electrode assembly to retain and support it on the interior of a cylindrical can. The cylindrical lithium ion battery includes an electrode assembly wound in a cylindrical shape with the space defined at the center thereof, a cylindrical can containing the electrode assembly and having an open top, a center pin located within the space of the electrode assembly and having a diameter which is small upon insertion and becomes larger after insertion to fill in the space, a cap assembly attached to the top of the cylindrical can to prevent the electrode assembly and the center pin from escaping the can.

A secondary battery includes a case having positive and negative electrodes, a safety device attached to a surface of the case and having a resistance value which changes during swelling of the case, and a protective circuit module attached to a side of the case while being electrically connected to the safety device. The resistance value of the safety device changes as the case swells, and the protective circuit module reduces or interrupts charging/discharging currents in response thereto. The safety device can be used for all secondary batteries regardless of capacity, can quickly react against abruptly rising internal temperature and rapid swelling, and can stably prevent swelling which occurs above an allowable temperature.

The present invention provides a lithium secondary battery comprising a cathode electrode containing a lithium complex oxide; an anode electrode containing metal lithium or its alloy, or carbon material; and a nonaqueous organic electrolyte containing a nonaqueous organic solvent, a lithium salt and an aromatic ether that can react to form dimers or polymers above a certain temperature and voltage and that can be expressed by Formula 1 below: wherein, R1 is independently a single bond or an alkylene group with less than or equal to 2 carbons and R2 is hydrogen or an alkyl group with less than or equal to 2 carbons. The lithium secondary battery has the advantage that its characteristics are maintained, even if it is left in its fully charged state at a high temperature for a long time and, at the same time, its reliability and stability have been improved.
摘要:
An electrode assembly is adapted to prevent the separator from contracting due to heat that is generated near the electrode tab during overcharging, over-discharging, or in the case of an internal short circuit. The electrode assembly also prevents an additional short circuit between the electrode plates. A rechargeable battery that comprises the electrode assembly is also provided. The present invention prevents the electrode tab from being short-circuited due to increased heat generation during overcharging or in the case of a short circuit, thus improving the safety of the rechargeable battery.
