POUCH AND SECONDARY BATTERY, AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THEM

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present invention relates to a pouch and a secondary battery comprising the same, and a method for manufacturing the same.BACKGROUND ART

[0002] Secondary batteries are rechargeable unlike primarily batteries, and also, the possibility of compact size and high capacity is high. Thus, recently, many studies on secondary batteries are being carried out. As technology development and demands for mobile devices increase, the demands for secondary batteries as energy sources are rapidly increasing.

[0003] Rechargeable batteries are classified into coin type batteries, cylindrical type batteries, prismatic type batteries, and pouch type batteries according to a shape of a battery case. In such a secondary battery, an electrode assembly mounted in a battery case is a chargeable and dischargeable power generating device having a structure in which an electrode and a separator are stacked.

[0004] The electrode assembly may be approximately classified into a jelly-roll type electrode assembly in which a separator is interposed between a positive electrode and a negative electrode, each of which is provided as the form of a sheet coated with an active material, and then, the positive electrode, the separator, and the negative electrode are wound, a stacked type electrode assembly in which a plurality of positive and negative electrodes with a separator therebetween are sequentially stacked, and a stack / folding type electrode assembly in which stacked type unit cells are wound together with a separation film having a long length.

[0005] In the secondary battery, gas is generated due to internal electrolyte decomposition under the influence of changes in temperature and potential during a driving process. In the case of normal driving conditions, although it is a small amount, it is a level that is not ignored considering that the battery guarantee period is more than 10 years. Various studies have been conducted to remove the gas generated inside the cell, and a method for attaching a device for discharging a gas to a cell surface has also been studied. However, there has been a problem in that cell performance is deteriorated due to leakage of an electrolyte at a sealing part and penetration of moisture through the sealing part during the device attachment process.
