An electrode assembly and a secondary battery are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, an electrode assembly includes: a first electrode plate having a first electrode tab attached thereto; a second electrode plate having at least one second electrode tab attached thereto; and a separator between the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate, the electrode assembly wound in a state in which the first electrode plate, the separator, and the second electrode plate are stacked, and the first electrode plate includes coating portions formed by coating an active material on first and second surfaces thereof, and a half-coating portion formed by coating the active material on only one of the first and second surfaces at a region corresponding to a leading edge, on the basis of a winding direction, where an active material of the second electrode plate begins.

Electrode assembly and secondary battery comprising the same

The present invention relates to a secondary battery in which an electrode assembly and a current collection plate may be easily welded and safety may be improved. As an embodiment, disclosed is a secondary battery comprising: an electrode assembly which is formed by winding a first electrode plate having a first electrode uncoated part, a separator, and a second electrode plate having a second electrode uncoated part, the first electrode uncoated part protruding upwards, and the second electrode uncoated part protruding downwards; and a first current collection plate which is electrically connected to the first electrode uncoated part and has a concave-convex part protruding downwards, wherein the width of the concave-convex part becomes wider from the center of the first current collection plate toward the outer periphery thereof.

Secondary battery

Disclosed is a secondary battery, which has a reinforced strength and can simplify the manufacturing process thereof. For example, one embodiment provides a secondary battery which comprises: an electrode assembly including a first electrode plate and a second electrode plate, wherein one of the first electrode plate and the second electrode plate includes a plurality of first tabs formed to protrude in one direction; a first current collection tab coupled to the first tabs; a case housing the electrode assembly; and a cap assembly coupled to the upper part of the case, wherein the first current collection tab is coupled to one of the cap assembly and the bottom surface of the case.

Secondary battery and manufacturing method therefor

A separator for a battery, a battery, and a method of preparing a graft copolymer for a binder, the separator including a porous substrate; a coating layer on at least one surface of the porous substrate, the coating layer including an inorganic oxide; and a binder between the porous substrate and the inorganic oxide or between adjacent particles of the inorganic oxide, the binder including a graft copolymer, wherein the graft copolymer has a backbone of a polyvinylidene fluoride-based polymer or a polyvinylidene fluoride-based copolymer, and a pendant chain grafted to the backbone, the pendant chain including a hydrophilic repeating unit, and fluorine atoms in the backbone of the graft copolymer are partially substituted with at least one of chlorine, bromine, or iodine.

Binder composition, separator including binder formed from the binder composition, lithium battery including the separator, and method of preparing the binder composition
