The present invention relates to a lithium secondary battery manufactured by forming a negative electrode free battery and then forming a lithium metal on the negative electrode current collector by charging. In the lithium secondary battery, since lithium metal is formed on the negative electrode current collector in the state of being blocked with the atmosphere, the generation of the conventional surface oxide layer (native layer) formed on the negative electrode does not occur inherently, thereby preventing the reduction of the efficiency and lifetime characteristics of the battery.

Lithium secondary battery

A lithium secondary battery including a positive electrode, a negative electrode comprising a negative electrode current collector, and an electrolyte interposed between the positive electrode and negative electrode. The lithium metal is formed on the negative electrode current collector by lithium ions migrating toward the negative electrode current collector after charge. The electrolyte comprises a sacrificial salt having an oxidation potential of 5 V or less with respect to lithium. The lithium secondary battery forms lithium metal while being blocked from the atmosphere, and thereby improves an existing problem caused by high reactivity of lithium metal. By including a sacrificial salt in an electrolyte, lithium consumption caused by an irreversible reaction of a negative electrode is reduced, which may prevent decline in the battery capacity and lifetime properties.

Provided is a positive electrode for secondary battery including:

Positive electrode for secondary battery comprising flake graphite and secondary battery comprising the same

Disclosed is a battery case including a case part including a first accommodation part having an irreversible opening to irreversibly release a closed state and a second accommodation part separated from the first accommodation part, and a cover part installed at the case part.

Battery case and lithium secondary battery including two separated accommodation parts

Disclosed is a battery cell having a double sealing structure. In particular, the battery cell includes a first sealing portion formed at an outer circumferential surface of a battery case by thermal bonding and a second sealing portion further formed between an electrode assembly and the first sealing portion at at least one side surface of the first sealing portion.

Battery cell having double sealing structure

The disclosure relates to an electrode active material including: (a) first particulate of a metal (or metalloid) oxide alloyable with lithium; and (b) second particulate of an oxide containing lithium and the same metal (or metalloid) as that of the metal (or metalloid) oxide, and to a secondary battery including the electrode active material. When the electrode active material is used as an anode active material, reduced amounts of an irreversible phase such as a lithium oxide or a lithium metal oxide are produced during initial charge-discharge of a battery since lithium is already contained in the second particulate before the initial charge-discharge, and thus a dead volume on the side of the cathode can be minimized and a high-capacity battery can be fabricated.

Electrode active material for secondary battery and method for preparing the same

Disclosed are a composite which can be used as an electrode active material for a secondary battery, and the secondary battery comprising the same. The composite includes: a first material selected from the group consisting of metals and metalloids capable of being reversibly alloyed with lithium; a second material selected from the group consisting of metals incapable of being alloyed with lithium, compounds containing the metals, and compounds containing metals or metalloids capable of being irreversibly alloyed with lithium; and a third material which is at least one kind of metal having a higher electrical conductivity than the second material, wherein a content of the third material ranges from 10 to 10,000 ppm based on the total weight of the composite.
