Problems solved by technology

However, it was pointed out that there is a limit to reducing the thickness to the extent that can significantly save weight
In addition, it has also been reported that the weight of the positive electrode or battery can be reduced by making perforated metal foil current collectors or mesh-type current collectors, but it has been found that it is difficult to increase the energy density of batteries using only these
In addition, when using perforated current collectors to manufacture electrodes by slurry coating (i.e., wet process), there is also a problem of limitations in controlling the open porosity or slurry viscosity due to the problem of slurry flowing through the holes to the lower part.
In addition, when the electrode process is performed by slurry coating, that is, a wet method, there are problems due to moisture remaining in the electrode and cost due to mixing, coating, and drying processes
[0006] On the other hand, in the case of manufacturing an electrode by a dry method, there are restrictions on changing the type and content of the binder, and in order to manufacture a double-sided electrode, there arises a problem that the process becomes complicated, for example, it must be accompanied by lamination Process and Coating Process for Giving Adhesion to Current Collector

[0058] [Example 1] Preparation of positive electrode for lithium secondary battery using perforated current collector

[0059] First, a sulfur-carbon nanotube composite material (positive electrode active material, Cnano Technology company, China) in which sulfur and carbon nanotubes are mixed at a weight ratio of 70:30 was filled up to as high as a depression in the shape of a positive electrode. After about half of the concave part of the mold, a perforated aluminum foil current collector (Dexmet Corporation, USA) was then placed thereon, and the sulfur-carbon nanotube composite material having the same composition as the positive electrode active material described above was filled up again. . Subsequently, a pressure of 10 MPa was applied to the composite material of the positive electrode active material and the current collector filled in the mold for 5 seconds using a press (Qmesys Corporation, Korea), and the pressure-applied composite material was separated from the...

[0064] [Experimental Example 1] Weight measurement and evaluation of positive electrodes

[0065] The respective weights of the positive electrodes prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were measured and confirmed with an electronic balance. As a result, it was confirmed that the weight of the positive electrode of Comparative Example 3, which was produced by using a common metal current collector, a conductive material and a binder, reached about 15 mg / cm 2 , there is a weight difference depending on whether the current collector is perforated or not. On the other hand, the weight of the positive electrode of Example 1 in which the perforated current collector was used without using the conductive material and the binder was only about 10 mg / cm 2 . Based on the above results, it was confirmed that the change in the weight of the positive electrode was not small, depending not only on the difference in whether the perforated current collector was used or not, but...
