Abstract
Disclosed is a technology for preventing electrodes in a secondary battery from being short-circuited with each other. An electrode assembly includes a cathode and anode of which a cathode collector and anode collector are coated with a cathode active material and anode active material, respectively, and a separator disposed between the cathode and the anode. An insulation layer is disposed on a tab part of the cathode collector constituting the cathode. Thus, an insulation layer may be disposed on an end (a tab part) of the cathode collector that is used as a tab of the cathode electrode in the structure of the electrode assembly to prevent the cathode from being physically short-circuited with the anode in the sequentially stacked structure of cathode/separator/anode.
