Abstract
Disclosed herein are an electrode having improved electrode tab welding characteristics configured such that one or more non-coated electrode tabs are provided for a plurality of stacked electrodes having the same polarity in order to maintain welding safety in the case in which the number of electrode layers that are stacked is increased in order to achieve high output and capacity, and a secondary battery including the same. Consequently, it is possible to prevent a plurality of electrode tabs from being cut at the time of welding the electrode tabs. In addition, the lower end of an electrode lead that is welded to non-coated electrode tabs provided for a plurality of stacked electrodes having the same polarity is punched so as to correspond to the non-coated electrode tabs. Consequently, it is possible to improve flexibility for a step formed in the secondary battery electrode.
