With reference to the drawings the present invention will be described in detail. Herein and in the terms or words used in the claims is general and not be construed as limited to the dictionary meanings are not, the inventor can adequately define terms to describe his own invention in the best way on the basis of the principle that the interpreted based on the meanings and concepts corresponding to technical aspects of the present invention.
[32]
Accordingly, the configuration described in the examples and figures disclosed herein are merely nothing but the embodiment most preferred embodiment of the invention, a not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, a variety can be made thereto according to the present application point It should be understood that there are equivalents and modifications.
[33]
[34]
If a manufacturing method of a lithium secondary battery according to the present invention.
[35]
First, the cell frame including a battery case 100, a three-dimensional entire porous cathode current collector 10 in provided on one side of the inside and the battery case 100, a three-dimensional porous anode current collector 20 in provided on the other side of the internal It is prepared (S1 step).
[36]
Here, the battery case 100 has a role as a casing of a battery produced later, may be a pouch of aluminum or aluminum cans that are commonly used.
[37]
At this time, the inner surface of the battery case 100 may be a coating layer composed of non-conductive material coated.
[38]
In addition, the cell frame is interposed between the positive electrode collector 10 and negative electrode collector 20 may further include a separator 30 for preventing the short circuit between the anode and the cathode.

After the (S3) step, by injecting a non-aqueous electrolyte of the electrolytic solution, etc. into the cell frame it can be completed by the cell. Moreover, this manufacturing process can also be used in the manufacturing process of the typical addition to the non-aqueous electrolyte lithium secondary battery using, all-solid battery, more specifically an inorganic all-solid battery.
[52]
The former if more details about the production method of the solid-state battery, in the process of making the electrode active material slurry, and followed by the addition of solid electrolyte in the slurry, can be prepared in the manner of injecting this slurry on the current collector, or the electrode active material was coated on a solid electrolyte, it is possible to manufacture a battery through the injection of an electrode active material in the dry state to the current collector and then heat-treated.
[53]
[54]
According to one embodiment of the present invention can omit a separate electrode manufacturing process is essential to go through in a conventional battery manufacturing process, it is possible to simplify the manufacturing process of the battery. Further, the electrode can be eliminated since the manufacturing process is omitted, the conventional high-capacity battery, a problem that may occur during the manufacturing process of the electrode, that is, the imbalance of the electrode active material loading amount, poor adhesion phenomenon of the electrode active material layer or the like.
[55]
Then, by using the whole of the three-dimensional porous home to overcome the structural limitations of the electrode, there is an advantage that the electrode assembly is a stack of cells producing a single stack of a plurality of non-available.
[56]
In particular, as to the entirety of the three-dimensional porous house by being used in the manufacturing method of the cell decreases the amount of binder used in the electrode active material, or, furthermore, even without a binder, by a support role of the porous current collector and the electrode active material, It has the advantage of fixing the electrode active material in the whole pores of the porous house.
