Abstract
Description
All-solid-state secondary battery
[0001] The present disclosure relates to an all-solid rechargeable battery.
[0002] Recently, driven by industrial demands, the development of batteries with high energy density and safety is actively underway. For example, lithium-ion batteries are being commercialized not only in the fields of information and communication devices but also in the automotive sector. In the automotive sector, safety is considered particularly important because it is directly related to human life.
[0003] Currently commercially available lithium-ion batteries use electrolytes containing flammable organic solvents, so there is a possibility of overheating and fire in the event of a short circuit. In response to this, all-solid-state secondary batteries using solid electrolytes instead of liquid electrolytes are being proposed.
[0004] All-solid-state secondary batteries can significantly reduce the likelihood of fire or explosion in the event of a short circuit by not using flammable organic solvents. Therefore, these all-solid-state batteries can offer significantly higher safety compared to lithium-ion batteries that use liquid electrolytes.

A positive electrode active material having such a particle size range can be harmoniously mixed with other components within the positive electrode active material layer and can achieve high capacity and high energy density.
[0112] The above positive active material may be in the form of secondary particles formed by the aggregation of a plurality of primary particles, or in the form of a single particle. In addition, the above positive active material may be spherical or have a shape close to spherical, or may be polyhedral or amorphous.
[0113] Sulfide-based solid electrolytes
[0114] Sulfide-based solid electrolytes include, for example, Li2S-P2S5, Li2S-P2S5-LiX (where X is a halogen element, e.g., I or Cl), Li2S-P2S5-Li2O, Li2S-P2S5-Li2O-LiI, Li2S-SiS2, Li2S-SiS2-LiI, Li2S-SiS2-LiBr, Li2S-SiS2-LiCl, Li2S-SiS2-B2S3-LiI, Li2S-SiS2-P2S5-LiI, Li2S-B2S3, and Li2S-P2S5-Z mS n (m and n are integers, and Z is Ge, Zn, or Ga), Li2S-GeS2, Li2S-SiS2-Li3PO4, Li2S-SiS2-Li p MO q (p, q are integers, and M is P, Si, Ge, B, Al, Ga or In), or may include a combination thereof.
[0115] Such sulfide-based solid electrolytes can be obtained, for example, by mixing Li2S and P2S5 in a molar ratio of 50:50 to 90:10 or 50:50 to 80:20 and optionally heat-treating. Within the above mixing ratio range, a sulfide-based solid electrolyte having excellent ionic conductivity can be manufactured. Additionally, ionic conductivity may be further improved by including other components such as SiS2, GeS2, B2S3, etc.
[0116] Mechanical milling or the solution method can be applied as mixing methods for sulfur-containing raw materials to manufacture sulfide-based solid electrolytes. Mechanical milling is a method in which starting materials are placed in a reactor and vigorously stirred with a ball mill or similar device to finely pulverize and mix the starting materials. When using the solution method, starting materials are mixed in a solvent to obtain a solid electrolyte as a precipitate. Furthermore, if heat treatment is performed after mixing, the crystals of the solid electrolyte can become more robust and the ionic conductivity can be improved. For example, a sulfide-based solid electrolyte can be manufactured by mixing sulfur-containing raw materials and heat-treating them two or more times; in this case, a robust sulfide-based solid electrolyte with high ionic conductivity can be produced.
[0117] For example, the sulfide-based solid electrolyte particles may include an argyrodite-type sulfide. The argyrodite-type sulfide is, for example, Li a M b P c S d A eIt can be expressed by the chemical formula (where a, b, c, d, and e are all between 0 and 12, M is a metal excluding Li or a combination of multiple metals excluding Li, and A is F, Cl, Br, or I), and as a specific example, Li 7-x PS 6-x A x It can be expressed by the chemical formula (where x is 0.2 or greater and 1.8 or less, and A is F, Cl, Br, or I). Specifically, the azirodite-type sulfide is Li3PS4, Li7P3S 11 , Li7PS6, Li6PS5Cl, Li6PS5Br, Li 5.8 PS 4.8 Cl 1.2 , Li 6.2 PS 5.2 Br 0.8 It could be the back.
[0118] Sulfide-based solid electrolyte particles containing such azirodite-type sulfides have an ionic conductivity of 10 at room temperature, which is the ionic conductivity of a typical liquid electrolyte. -4 to 10 -2 It has high ionic conductivity close to the S / cm range and can form a tight bond between the positive active material and the solid electrolyte without causing a decrease in ionic conductivity, and furthermore, can form a tight interface between the electrode layer and the solid electrolyte layer. An all-solid-state battery including this can improve battery performance such as rate characteristics, Coulomb efficiency, and lifespan characteristics.
[0119] An azirodite-type sulfide-based solid electrolyte can be prepared by mixing, for example, lithium sulfide and phosphorus sulfide, and optionally lithium halide. After mixing these, heat treatment may be performed. The heat treatment may include, for example, two or more heat treatment steps.
[0120] According to one embodiment, the average particle size (D50) of the sulfide-based solid electrolyte particles may be 5.0 μm or less, for example, 0.1 μm to 5.0 μm, 0.1 μm to 4.0 μm, 0.1 μm to 3.0 μm, 0.5 μm to 2.0 μm, or 0.1 μm to 1.5 μm. Alternatively, depending on the location or purpose of use, the sulfide-based solid electrolyte particles may be small particles having an average particle size (D50) of 0.1 μm to 1.0 μm, or large particles having an average particle size (D50) of 1.5 μm to 5.0 μm. Sulfide-based solid electrolyte particles within this particle size range can effectively penetrate between solid particles within the battery, and have excellent contact with the electrode active material and connectivity between solid electrolyte particles. The average particle size of the sulfide-based solid electrolyte particles may be measured using a microscopic image, for example, by measuring the size of about 20 particles in a scanning electron microscope image to obtain the particle size distribution and calculating D50 from it.
[0121] The content of the solid electrolyte in the anode for the all-solid-state battery may be 0.5 wt% to 35 wt%, for example, 1 wt% to 35 wt%, 5 wt% to 30 wt%, 8 wt% to 25 wt%, or 10 wt% to 20 wt%. This is the content relative to the total weight of the components in the anode, and specifically, it can be said to be the content relative to the total weight of the anode active material layer.
[0122] In one embodiment, the positive active material layer may comprise, with respect to 100 weight% of the positive active material layer, 50 weight% to 99.35 weight% of a positive active material, 0.5 weight% to 35 weight% of a sulfide-based solid electrolyte, 0.1 weight% to 10 weight% of a fluorine-based resin binder, and 0.05 weight% to 5 weight% of vanadium oxide. When such content ranges are satisfied, the positive electrode for an all-solid-state secondary battery can achieve high capacity and high ionic conductivity while maintaining high adhesion, and the viscosity of the positive electrode composition can be maintained at an appropriate level, thereby improving processability.
[0123] bookbinder
[0124] The binder serves to adhere the positive active material particles well to each other and also to adhere the positive active material well to the current collector. Representative examples include polyvinyl alcohol, carboxymethylcellulose, hydroxypropylcellulose, diacetylcellulose, polyvinyl chloride, carboxylated polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl fluoride, polymers containing ethylene oxide, polyvinylpyrrolidone, polyurethane, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyethylene, polypropylene, styrene-butadiene rubber, acrylated styrene-butadiene rubber, epoxy resin, nylon, etc., but are not limited thereto.
[0125] Challenge
[0126] The above positive active material layer may further include a conductive material. The conductive material is used to impart conductivity to the electrode and may include, for example, carbon-based materials such as natural graphite, artificial graphite, carbon black, acetylene black, Ketjen black, carbon fibers, carbon nanotubes; metal-based materials containing copper, nickel, aluminum, silver, etc., in the form of metal powder or metal fibers; conductive polymers such as polyphenylene derivatives; or a combination thereof.

Referring to FIG. 2, the precipitation type negative electrode (400') may include a current collector (401) and a negative electrode coating layer (405) located on the current collector. An all-solid-state battery having such a precipitation type negative electrode (400') is initially charged in a state where no negative electrode active material is present, and during charging, a high-density lithium metal, etc. is precipitated between the current collector (401) and the negative electrode coating layer (405) to form a lithium metal layer (404), which can act as a negative electrode active material.

The crystalline carbon may be, for example, natural graphite, artificial graphite, mesophase carbon micro beads, or a combination thereof.

The thin film can further flatten the precipitation shape of the lithium metal layer (404) and further improve the characteristics of the all-solid-state battery. The thin film may be formed by, for example, vacuum deposition, sputtering, plating, etc. The thickness of the thin film may be, for example, 1 nm to 500 nm.

For example, if both the anode (200) and the solid electrolyte layer (300) include an azirodite-type sulfide-based solid electrolyte, the overall performance of the all-solid-state secondary battery may be improved. In addition, for example, if both the anode (200) and the solid electrolyte layer (300) include the aforementioned coated solid electrolyte, the all-solid-state secondary battery may achieve high capacity and high energy density while achieving excellent initial efficiency and lifespan characteristics.

In this case, overall performance can be improved by increasing the mobility of lithium ions while maximizing the energy density of the all-solid-state battery. For example, the average particle size (D) of the solid electrolyte included in the cathode (200) 50 ) may be 0.1 μm to 1.0 μm, or 0.1 μm to 0.8 μm, and the average particle size (D) of the solid electrolyte included in the solid electrolyte layer (300) 50 The particle size ) can be 1.5 μm to 5.0 μm, or 2.0 μm to 4.0 μm, or 2.5 μm to 3.5 μm. When such a particle size range is satisfied, the energy density of the all-solid-state secondary battery is maximized, while lithium ion transport is facilitated to suppress resistance, thereby improving the overall performance of the all-solid-state secondary battery. Here, the average particle size (D) of the solid electrolyte 50 ) may be measured using a particle size analyzer utilizing laser diffraction. Alternatively, approximately 20 random particles may be selected from microscopic images such as those of a scanning electron microscope, their particle sizes measured, and their particle size distribution obtained, where D 50 You can also calculate the value.

The solvent of the binder solution may be isobutyryl isobutylate, xylene, toluene, benzene, hexane, or a combination thereof. Since the process for forming the above solid electrolyte layer is widely known in the field, a detailed description will be omitted.
[0166] The thickness of the solid electrolyte layer may be, for example, 10 μm to 150 μm.
[0167] The above solid electrolyte layer may further include an alkali metal salt, and / or an ionic liquid, and / or a conductive polymer.
[0168] The above alkali metal salt may be, for example, a lithium salt. The content of the lithium salt in the above solid electrolyte layer may be 1 M or more, for example, 1 M to 4 M. In this case, the lithium salt can improve ion conductivity by improving the lithium ion mobility of the solid electrolyte layer.

[0177] FIG. 3 is a plan view of an all-solid-state secondary battery according to a first embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the all-solid-state secondary battery of FIG. 3 (before welding the case), and FIG. 5 is an exploded perspective view of the all-solid-state secondary battery of FIG. 3 (after welding the case). Referring to FIG. 3 to FIG. 5, the all-solid-state secondary battery of the first embodiment includes a unit cell (UC), a stack (ST), a case (30), an insulator (40), and a cap assembly (50).
[0178] A unit cell (UC) is formed by stacking a positive electrode (11) and a negative electrode (12) on each side of a solid electrolyte layer (13). A stack (ST) is formed by stacking unit cells (UC). A buffer member (60) may be provided between the stack (ST) and the case (30) (see FIG. 9).
[0179] The positive electrode (11) and the negative electrode (12) are each provided with an electrode tab (101) connected to them, and the electrode tab (101) is drawn out in both directions in a first direction (x-axis direction). The electrode tab (101) includes a first tab (111) connected to the positive electrode (11) and drawn out in a first positive (+) direction (x-axis direction), and a second tab (121) connected to the negative electrode (12) and drawn out in a first negative (-) direction (x-axis direction).
[0180] The electrode tab (101) is separated from the first positive (+) direction into the second direction (y-axis direction) to form a double tab, and separated from the first negative (-) direction into the second direction (y-axis direction) to form a double tab. The second direction (y-axis direction) intersects the first direction (x-axis direction).
[0181] In the stack (ST), the first taps (111) form a double-tap structure that is drawn out in the first positive (+) direction (x-axis direction) from both ends of the second direction (y-axis direction). Also in the stack (ST), the second taps (121) form a double-tap structure that is drawn out in the first negative (-) direction (x-axis direction) from both ends of the second direction (y-axis direction).
[0182] The case (30) includes a first part case (31) and a second part case (32) to accommodate a stack (ST), and is formed by welding (W) the first and second part cases (31, 32) facing each other. The case (30) may be formed from a weldable metal material.
[0183] After inserting a stack (ST) into the first part case (31) and the second part case (32), pressurize to reach the target compression ratio, and while maintaining external pressure, avoid the first and second tabs (111, 121) and weld (W) the first side (311, 321) and the second side (312, 322) in the first and second directions (x, y axis directions) of the case (30).
[0184] For example, the first part case (31) and the second part case (32) form welding lines (WL) on both sides of the first direction (x-axis direction) and on both sides of the second direction (y-axis direction) intersecting the first direction, and form outlets (303) on both sides of the first direction (x-axis direction). The first part case (31) and the second part case (32) are welded (W) in a state of pressure stacking in the third direction (z-axis direction).
[0185] The outlet (303) is formed by the first groove (313) of the first part case (31) and the second groove (323) of the second part case (32) facing each other. Since a welding line (WL) is formed in the first and second directions (x, y axis directions) of the first and second part cases (31, 32), the outlet (303) is formed by the first and second grooves (313, 323). That is, the outlet (303) is formed because the first and second grooves (313, 323) are connected in the stacking direction (z axis direction).
[0186] Specifically, the case (30), that is, the first and second parts of the case (31, 32), includes a first side wall (311, 321) formed by bending on both sides in the first direction (x-axis direction) and a second side wall (312, 322) formed by bending on both sides in the second direction (y-axis direction). The first side wall (311, 321) is provided with a pair of outlets (303) corresponding to a double tap on both sides in the first direction (x-axis direction) and is formed in the part excluding the pair of outlets (303). The second side wall (312, 322) is formed on both sides in the second direction (y-axis direction).
[0187] Since the first side wall (311, 321) is formed with the same structure on both sides of the first direction (x-axis direction), the positive (+) direction on one side is described, and the negative (-) direction on the other side is omitted. Since the second side wall (312, 322) is formed with the same structure on both sides of the second direction (y-axis direction), the positive (+) direction on one side is described, and the negative (-) direction on the other side is omitted.
[0188] The welding line (WL) includes a first weld (WL1) and a second weld (WL2). The first weld (WL1) is formed on the first side wall (311, 321) by welding (W) the first part case (31) and the second part case (32). The second weld (WL2) is formed on the second side wall (312, 322) by welding (W) the first part case (31) and the second part case (32).
[0189] Since the first side wall (311, 321) is formed with the same structure on both sides of the first direction (x-axis direction), the first side wall (311) of both (+) first directions (x-axis direction) is described as an example. The first side wall (311, 321) is provided at both ends of the second direction (y-axis direction) so as to be connected to the second side wall (312, 322), and is further provided between a pair of outlets (303, 303).
[0190] Accordingly, the first weld (WL1) includes a double-ended weld (WL11) provided at both ends in the second direction (y-axis direction) and a central weld (WL12) provided between a pair of outlets (303, 303). The double-ended weld (WL11) provides and improves the weld strength of the case (30) at both ends in the second direction (y-axis direction). The central weld (WL12) provides and improves the weld strength of the case (30), i.e., the weld strength of the first and second parts of the case (31, 32), at the center in the second direction (y-axis direction).
[0191] Additionally, the central weld (WL12) suppresses expansion in the central part of the case (30). Furthermore, the central weld (WL12) enables the design of a case (30) with high resistance to internal pressure. Since the case (30) absorbs most of the expansion force, the internal pressure applied to the cap assembly (50) is reduced. Therefore, the assembly quality and welding quality of the case (30) and the cap assembly (50) can be improved.
[0192] FIG. 6 is an exploded perspective view of the all-solid-state secondary battery of FIG. 5 equipped with an insulator, FIG. 7 is an inner side view of the insulator of FIG. 6, FIG. 8 is a plan view of the insulator of FIG. 7, and FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line IX-IX of FIG. 6.
[0193] Referring to FIGS. 4 to 9, an insulator (40) is formed of an electrical insulating material and provided in the outlet (303, 303) to electrically insulate the outlet (303, 303) to form an insulating outlet (413, 414). The electrode tab (101) is drawn out in a first direction (x-axis direction) through the insulating outlet (413, 414).
[0194] The insulator (40) includes a first insulating part (411) and a second insulating part (412) formed integrally. The first insulating part (411) is coupled to one of a pair of outlets (303, 303) formed by the first and second grooves (313, 323) of the first and second part cases (31, 32) to form a first insulating outlet (413). The second insulating part (412) is coupled to the other of a pair of outlets (303, 303) formed by the first and second grooves (313, 323) of the first and second part cases (31, 32) to form a second insulating outlet (414).
[0195] For example, the insulator (40) includes a connecting part (41) that contacts the cross-section of the case (30) forming the outlet (303), a projection (42) that protrudes from one side of the connecting part (41) and supports one side of the case (30), and a hook (43) that protrudes from the other side of the connecting part (41) and is coupled to the other side of the case (30).
[0196] The protrusion (42) and the hook (43) strengthen the fastening force between the insulator (40) and the case (30), and the hook (43) facilitates the process of fastening the insulator (40) to the case (30). That is, the hook (43) enables the insulator (40) to be connected in the first direction to the case (30) formed by welding (W) of the first and second parts of the case (31, 32).
[0197] Referring again to FIGS. 4 to 6, the cap assembly (50) includes a subplate (51) connected to an electrode tab (101) having through holes (513, 513) corresponding to first and second insulating outlets (413, 414), a subtab (52) connecting the subplate (51) to a terminal (53), and a cap plate (54) that accommodates the subplate (51) and the subtab (52) in an insulating structure.
[0198] FIG. 10 is a perspective view of the state before welding a subplate to the electrode tab of FIG. 6, and FIG. 11 is a perspective view of the state in which a subtab is welded to the electrode tab and subplate of FIG. 10. Referring to FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the electrode tab (101) of the double-tab structure is continuously drawn out through the first and second insulating outlets (413, 414) and the through-holes (513, 513) (see FIG. 10) and is placed between the subplate (51) and the subtab (52) and welded (W) (see FIG. 11).
[0199] That is, one electrode tab (101) of the double-tap structure is bent in a positive (+) stacking direction from the outside of the drawn-out sub-plate (51) and contacts the outer surface of the sub-plate (51), and the other electrode tab (101) of the double-tap structure is bent in a negative (-) stacking direction from the outside of the drawn-out sub-plate (51) and contacts the outer surface of the sub-plate (51).
[0200] Since the electrode tab (101) of the double-tap structure is bent in the positive (+) and negative (-) stacking directions (z-axis direction), the connection structure between the electrode tab (101) and the sub-plate (51) and the connection structure between the electrode tab (101) and the sub-tap (52) can be stably secured.
[0201] In addition, since the electrode tab (101) at the positive electrode (11) and the negative electrode (12) has a symmetrical structure in the first direction (x-axis direction), the welding strength of the connection structure between the electrode tab (101) and the sub-plate (51) and the connection structure between the electrode tab (101) and the sub-tab (52) can be balanced at the first tab (111) of the positive electrode (11) and the second tab (121) of the negative electrode (12).
[0202] FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the state of assembling and welding a cap assembly to the case of FIG. 11, and FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line XIII-XIII of FIG. 12. Referring to FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, after the welding of the case (30) is finished and the assembly of the cap assembly (50) is completed, the outer edge of the cap plate (54) is welded to the case (30).
[0203] The cap plate (54) is welded (W) to the case (30), and a third weld (WL3) is formed at the joint boundary between the cap plate (54) and the case (30). The terminal (53) is drawn out to the outside of the cap plate (54) by interposing a terminal insulator (55) in the terminal hole (504) of the cap plate (54). The terminal (53) is welded (W) to the sub-tap (52).
[0204] Various embodiments of the present invention are described below. Compared to the first embodiment and the previously described embodiment, the description of identical configurations is omitted, and the description of different configurations is provided.
[0205] FIG. 14 is an inner side view of an insulator coupled to a case of an all-solid-state secondary battery according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 15 is a plan view of the insulator of FIG. 14. Referring to FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, in the all-solid-state secondary battery of the second embodiment, the insulator (240) includes a first insulator (241) and a second insulator (242) that are formed separately. The first insulator (241) is coupled to one of a pair of outlets (303, 303) corresponding to a double tap on both sides of a first direction (x-axis direction) to form a first insulating outlet (243). The second insulator (242) is coupled to the other of a pair of outlets (303, 303) corresponding to a double tap on both sides of the first direction to form a second insulating outlet (244).
[0206] As in the first embodiment, the connecting part (41), which is formed with the same structure on the first and second insulators (241, 242), contacts the cross-section of the case (30) that forms the outlet (303), the projection (42) protrudes from one side of the connecting part (41) to support one side of the case (30), and the hook (43) is formed protruding from the other side of the connecting part (41) to be coupled to the other side of the case (30). Since the first and second insulators (241, 242) can be formed separately and coupled to the outlet of the welded case (30), the assembly process of the insulator (240) is facilitated.
[0207] FIG. 16 is an inner side view of an insulator applied to an all-solid-state secondary battery according to a third embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 16, in the all-solid-state secondary battery of the third embodiment, the insulator (340) includes a first part insulator (341) coupled to a first groove (313) of a first part case (31), and a second part insulator (342) coupled to a second groove (323) of a second part case (32) and in contact with the first part insulator (341) to form an insulating outlet (343).
[0208] The connecting portion (41), protrusion (42), and hook (43) of the insulator (340) are formed on the first and second part insulators (341, 342) and are connected to each other when the first and second part insulators (341, 342) are coupled to the groove (303) of the case (30). Since the first and second part insulators (341, 342) can be coupled to the outlet (303) of the welded case (30), the assembly process of the insulator (340) is facilitated.
[0209] FIG. 17 is a combined inner side view of a case and an insulator applied to an all-solid-state secondary battery according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 17, in the all-solid-state secondary battery of the fourth embodiment, the insulator (440) includes a first injection portion (441) and a second injection portion (442) that are formed separately.
[0210] The first injection portion (441) is formed by insert injection into the first groove (313) of the first part case (31). The second injection portion (442) is inserted injection into the second groove (323) of the second part case (32) and forms an insulating outlet (443) in contact with the first injection portion (441). The first and second injection portions (441, 442) eliminate the process of separately assembling an insulator (440) to the first and second part cases (31, 32) during the all-solid-state secondary battery assembly process.
[0211] FIG. 18 is an inner side view of an insulator applied to an all-solid-state secondary battery according to the fifth embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 19 is an inner side view of the combined case and insulator of FIG. 18. Referring to FIG. 18 and FIG. 19, in the all-solid-state secondary battery of the fifth embodiment, the insulator (540) includes a first O-ring insulator (541) and a second O-ring insulator (542) that are formed separately.
[0212] The first O-ring insulator (541) is coupled to one of a pair of outlets (303, 303) corresponding to a double tap on both sides of the first direction to form a first insulating outlet (543). The second O-ring insulator (542) is coupled to the other of a pair of outlets (303, 303) corresponding to a double tap on both sides of the first direction to form a second insulating outlet (544).
[0213] The first and second O-ring insulators (541, 542) can be formed separately and coupled to the outlets (303, 303) of the welded case (30), thereby facilitating the assembly process of the insulator (540).
[0214] FIG. 20 is an exploded perspective view of an all-solid-state secondary battery (after the insulator is coupled to the case) according to the 6th embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 20, the all-solid-state secondary battery of the 6th embodiment includes a unit cell (UC), a stack (ST), a case (30), an insulator (140), and a cap assembly (50).
[0215] FIG. 21 is an inner side view of the insulator of FIG. 20, FIG. 22 is a top view of the insulator of FIG. 21, FIG. 23 is a state view of welding the case of FIG. 20, and FIG. 24 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line IX-IX of FIG. 23.
[0216] Referring to FIGS. 20 to 24, an insulator (140) is formed of an electrical insulating material and coupled to an outlet (303) to electrically insulate the outlet (303) to form an insulating outlet (1413). The electrode tab (101) is drawn out in a first direction (x-axis direction) through the insulating outlet (1413).
[0217] The insulator (140) includes a first part insulator (1411) and a second part insulator (1412). The first part insulator (1411) is coupled to a first groove (313) of a first part case (31), and the second part insulator (1412) is coupled to a second groove (323) of a second part case (32) and comes into contact with the first part insulator (1411). Thus, the first and second grooves (313, 323) are connected to each other to form an insulating outlet (1413).
[0218] For example, the insulator (140) includes a connecting portion (141) that contacts the cross-section of the case (30) forming the outlet (303), and two protrusions (142) that protrude from both sides of the connecting portion (141) and support both sides of the case (30). The two protrusions (142) strengthen the fastening force between the insulator (140) and the case (30).
[0219] Referring to FIGS. 20 and 23, the welding line (WL) includes a first weld (WL1) and a second weld (WL2). The first weld (WL1) is formed on the first side wall (311, 321) by welding (W) the first part case (31) and the second part case (32). The second weld (WL2) is formed on the second side wall (312, 322) by welding (W) the first part case (31) and the second part case (32).
[0220] Since the first side wall (311, 321) is formed with the same structure on both sides of the first direction (x-axis direction), the first side wall (311) of both (+) first directions (x-axis direction) is described as an example. The first side wall (311, 321) is provided at both ends of the second direction (y-axis direction) so as to be connected to the second side wall (312, 322), and is further provided between a pair of outlets (303, 303).
[0221] Accordingly, the first weld (WL1) includes a double-ended weld (WL11) provided at both ends in the second direction (y-axis direction) and a central weld (WL12) provided between a pair of outlets (303, 303). The double-ended weld (WL11) provides and improves the weld strength of the case (30) at both ends in the second direction (y-axis direction). The central weld (WL12) provides and improves the weld strength of the case (30), i.e., the weld strength of the first and second parts of the case (31, 32), at the center in the second direction (y-axis direction).
[0222] Additionally, the central weld (WL12) suppresses expansion in the central part of the case (30). Furthermore, the central weld (WL12) enables the design of a case (30) with high resistance to internal pressure. Since the case (30) absorbs most of the expansion force, the internal pressure applied to the cap assembly (50) is reduced. Therefore, the assembly quality and welding quality of the case (30) and the cap assembly (50) can be improved.
[0223] Referring again to FIG. 20 and FIG. 23, the cap assembly (50) includes a subplate (51) connected to an electrode tab (101) having a through hole (513) corresponding to an insulating outlet (1413), a subtab (52) connecting the subplate (51) to a terminal (53), and a cap plate (54) that accommodates the subplate (51) and the subtab (52) in an insulating structure.
[0224] FIG. 25 is a perspective view of the state before welding the subplate to the electrode tab of FIG. 23, and FIG. 26 is a perspective view of the state in which the subtab is welded to the electrode tab and subplate of FIG. 25. Referring to FIG. 25 and FIG. 26, the electrode tab (101) of the double-tab structure is continuously drawn out through the insulating outlet (1413) and the through hole (513) (see FIG. 25) and is placed and welded (W) between the subplate (51) and the subtab (52) (see FIG. 26).
[0225] That is, one electrode tab (101) of the double-tap structure is bent in a positive (+) stacking direction from the outside of the drawn-out sub-plate (51) and contacts the outer surface of the sub-plate (51), and the other electrode tab (101) of the double-tap structure is bent in a negative (-) stacking direction from the outside of the drawn-out sub-plate (51) and contacts the outer surface of the sub-plate (51).
[0226] Since the electrode tab (101) of the double-tap structure is bent in the positive (+) and negative (-) stacking directions (z-axis direction), the connection structure between the electrode tab (101) and the sub-plate (51) and the connection structure between the electrode tab (101) and the sub-tap (52) can be stably secured.
[0227] In addition, since the electrode tab (101) at the positive electrode (11) and the negative electrode (12) has a symmetrical structure in the first direction (x-axis direction), the welding strength of the connection structure between the electrode tab (101) and the sub-plate (51) and the connection structure between the electrode tab (101) and the sub-tab (52) can be balanced at the first tab (111) of the positive electrode (11) and the second tab (121) of the negative electrode (12).
[0228] FIG. 27 is a diagram showing the state of assembling and welding a cap assembly to the case of FIG. 26, and FIG. 28 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line XIII-XIII of FIG. 27. Referring to FIG. 27 and FIG. 28, after the welding of the case (30) is finished and the assembly of the cap assembly (50) is completed, the outer edge of the cap plate (54) is welded to the case (30).
[0229] The cap plate (54) is welded (W) to the case (30), and a third weld (WL3) is formed at the joint boundary between the cap plate (54) and the case (30). The terminal (53) is drawn out to the outside of the cap plate (54) by interposing a terminal insulator (55) in the terminal hole (504) of the cap plate (54). The terminal (53) is welded (W) to the sub-tap (52).
[0230] The above description is merely one embodiment for implementing an all-solid-state secondary battery according to the present disclosure, and the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiment. The technical spirit of the present disclosure extends to the scope in which various modifications can be made by anyone with ordinary knowledge in the field to which the invention belongs, without departing from the gist of the present disclosure as claimed in the following patent claims.
