    摘要: A lithium electrode including: a lithium metal layer; an aluminum oxide layer on the lithium metal layer; and a carbon layer on the aluminum oxide layer, and a lithium secondary battery including the same. The aluminum oxide layer can prevent a direct reaction between a non-aqueous electrolyte and a lithium metal layer, and particularly, since the aluminum oxide layer does not have electrical conductivity, lithium deposition occurs between the lithium metal layer and aluminum oxide layer. Thus lithium metal is not deposited on the protection layer. In addition, the carbon layer functions for producing a stable solid electrolyte interface film thereon.

    摘要: A method of manufacturing a secondary battery using lithium metal as a negative electrode, and more particularly, a method of manufacturing a secondary battery capable of removing an oxide film formed on a lithium metal by performing some initial discharges during the initial period of the activation process to thereby improve the cycling performance of the battery by allowing lithium to be uniformly precipitated. The result minimizes the reduction of ion conductivity by removing the oxide film formed on the surface of the lithium metal through the initial partial discharge and improves the battery cycle performance since the precipitation reaction of lithium becomes uniform.

    摘要: A 3-dimensional (3D) pattern puncher for punching a lithium metal electrode to provide one or more unit electrodes is provided. The 3D pattern puncher includes a mold punch configured to move up and down, the mold punch corresponding to a size of the unit electrode; a die corresponding to the mold punch; a mold blade disposed at an edge of the mold punch and configured to punch the lithium metal electrode to provide the one or more unit electrodes; and a 3D pattern positioned at an inner portion of the mold punch where the mold blade is not disposed.
