The present disclosure relates to a jelly-roll type electrode assembly in which a long sheet-type cathode and a long sheet-type anode are wound in a state where a separator is interposed between the cathode and the anode, wherein the anode is configured such that an anode mixture is formed on both sides of an anode current collector, and the anode current collector is configured such that when winding to form an electrode assembly, if a side that winds inward is referred to a first side and a side that winds outward is referred to a second side, an active material of a first anode mixture coated on the first side contains 70 wt % or more artificial graphite as an active material based on the total weight of the active material, and an active material of a second anode mixture coated on the second side contains 70 wt % or more natural graphite as an active material based on the total weight of the active material.

Jelly-roll type electrode assembly having anode in which anode mixtures containing active material with different composition are formed on both sides of electrode current collector, secondary battery comprising the same, and device comprising secondary battery

A gas measuring apparatus for a secondary battery comprises: a chamber accommodating a secondary battery therein; a heater unit applying heat to the chamber to ignite the secondary battery accommodated in the chamber; a collection tube connected to the inside of the chamber to collect a gas generated in the secondary battery; a vacuum unit connected to the collection tube to vacuumize the inside of the chamber so as to introduce the gas into the collection tube; and a gas measuring unit measuring an amount of gas introduced into the collection tube.

Gas measuring apparatus for secondary battery

A secondary battery and a method for interrupting current of the secondary battery according to the present invention includes a bimetal applied to the secondary battery. Thus, when an internal temperature of the secondary battery reaches a predetermined temperature, current may be interrupted even before an internal pressure of the secondary battery reaches a predetermined pressure to effectively interrupt the current in case of emergency, thereby preventing the secondary battery from being exploded or fired.

Secondary battery and method for interrupting current of secondary battery

The present invention relates to a secondary battery that is capable of preventing corrosion within the battery from occurring. Also, the secondary battery according to the present invention includes an electrode assembly provided with an electrode tab, a can member accommodating the electrode assembly and comprising a vent part for discharging a gas when internal pressure increases, and a protection member preventing the electrode tab and the vent part from coming into contact with each other.

Secondary battery

A secondary battery includes a container, an electrode assembly received in the container, and an insulator assembly disposed on at least one of an upper end and a lower end of the electrode assembly. When the electrode assembly is moved vertically due to inertia, the insulator assembly is elastically contracted and restored as a reaction to the inertia, thereby reducing pressure generated between an interior surface of the container and the electrode assembly. The insulation assembly may provide insulation effect. It may function as an electrolytic solution flow path.

Secondary battery comprising insulator assembly capable of suppressing damage to electrode assembly caused by external force

Provided is a cylindrical battery in which an electrode assembly fabricated by rolling a cathode/separator/anode and an electrolyte are provided in a cylindrical can, wherein a cap assembly mounted on the opening top of the cylindrical can comprises: a safety vent provided with a predetermined notch, to allow breakage due to high-pressure gas of the battery, a current interruptive device to interrupt current, welded to the bottom of the safety vent, and a gasket for the current interruptive device to surround the periphery of the current interruptive device, wherein the current interruptive device comprises two or more through holes to allow exhaustion of gas, wherein the through holes have a size of 20 to 50% with respect to the total area of the current interruptive device.

Cylindrical secondary battery of improved safety

The present invention relates to a lithium secondary battery.
