Abstract
Provided is a method for manufacturing a cable-type secondary battery including preparing an electrode assembly having a horizontal cross section of a predetermined shape and extending longitudinally, the electrode assembly including an inner current collector, an anode active material layer, a cathode active material layer, and an electrolyte layer interposed between the anode active material layer and the cathode active material layer, preparing a heat-shrinkable protection coating by forming a thin-film outer current collector on the inner surface of a heat-shrinkable tube, and inserting the electrode assembly into the heat-shrinkable protection coating and heating to shrink the heat-shrinkable protection coating such that the shrunken protection coating is closely adhered to the outer surface of the electrode assembly. The manufacturing method may eliminate the need of post-processing such as drying, thereby simplifying the method and carrying out the method in a continuous manner.
