Abstract
Disclosed herein are a short circuit formation unit for mechanically cutting an electrode tab and/or an electrode lead of a pouch-shaped battery cell in order to secure the safety of the pouch-shaped battery cell when the pouch-shaped battery cell swells due to gas generated in the pouch-shaped battery cell while the pouch-shaped battery cell is in an abnormal state or when the pouch-shaped battery cell is overcharged, and a pouch-shaped secondary battery including the same. Current is prevented from flowing in the pouch-shaped secondary battery when the pouch-shaped secondary battery is overcharged or when the pouch-shaped secondary battery is in an abnormal state. In addition, a reduction in the energy density of the pouch-shaped secondary battery is prevented when a voluminous device is further provided in the pouch-shaped secondary battery.
