An electrode assembly includes: a plurality of positive electrodes and a plurality of negative electrodes, alternately and repeatedly stacked; a separator between the positive electrodes and the negative electrodes, respectively, to protrude from the positive electrodes and the negative electrodes and stacked such that surfaces at edges of the separator face each other; and a fixing member including an adhesive layer adhered to the surfaces of the separator.

An apparatus for drying an electrode plate includes a drying furnace configure to dry an electrode plate having a slurry coated thereon, an over-heated steam supplier configured to supply the drying furnace with over-heated steam as a drying heat source, a circulation fan configured to inhale at least some of the over-heated steam discharged from the drying furnace and to introduce the inhaled over-heated steam back into the drying furnace, an exhaust fan configured to inhale at least some of the gas exhausted from the drying furnace, and a heat exchanger configured to exchange heat of the exhaust gas supplied from the exhaust fan.

Apparatus for drying electrode plate

A drying device that includes a drying furnace having an inlet and an outlet, a drying unit installed inside the drying furnace and for drying a to-be-dried object, a number of upper and lower rolls alternately arranged at internal top and bottom portions of the drying furnace, and a roll driver connected to the plurality of upper and lower rolls and moving the upper rolls upwardly and the lower rolls downwardly, wherein after the to-be-dried object is transferred from the inlet to the outlet, the roller driver moves the upper rolls downwardly, moves the lower rolls upwardly, or moves the upper rolls downwardly and the lower rolls upwardly.
