The present disclosure relates to an anode for a lithium secondary battery, wherein an anode material layer is formed on at least one surface of an anode current collector, and

Anode including graphite and silicon-based material having different diameters and lithium secondary battery including the same

A cylindrical battery comprising a lithium secondary battery and having a pressure sensor for measuring an internal pressure of the secondary battery, the cylindrical battery as a whole includes: an electrode assembly including a cathode plate, an anode plate, and a separator electrically insulating the cathode plate and the anode plate from each other; the pressure sensor positioned on one side of the electrode assembly and embedded in the cylindrical battery; and a top cap positioned on the other side of the electrode assembly, wherein the pressure sensor has an insulating property.

Cylindrical battery having pressure sensor, and method for measuring internal pressure thereof

A cylindrical battery cell includes an electrode assembly of a cathode/separator/anode structure and an electrolyte disposed in a battery case, a cylindrical metal container forms the battery case with the electrode assembly and the electrolyte disposed therein, a cap assembly is mounted on the open upper end of the metal container and a gasket of an elastic material is interposed between the metal container and the cap assembly. The upper end of the metal container is clamped and bent inward toward the central axis of the battery cell to enable the upper portion of the metal container to surround the exterior surface of the gasket. A recessed groove configured to partially receive the gasket by clamping, is formed on the interior surface of the inward-bent portion of the metal container. Accordingly, damage to the gasket interposed between the metal container and the cap assembly is reduced and inhibits electrolyte leakage.
