[42]
According to the invention in the drawings will be described as in the detailed embodiment.
[43]
1 is a view showing an exemplary conventional pouch-shaped battery cell.
[44]
In as general a lithium secondary battery, first, by applying the material a mixture of active material and a binder, and a plasticizer in the positive electrode collector and the negative electrode current collector to prepare a positive electrode plate and negative electrode plate, and laminating it on both sides of a separator battery cells having a predetermined shape the formation of the next, inserting the battery cell in a battery case and takes the process to complete the battery pack by sealing after injecting the electrolyte.
[45]
A typical structure of the electrode assembly (electrode assembly) electrode leads (electrode lead) that is connected to has one end connected to the electrode assembly and exposed to the outside of the battery case (battery case) the other end, to the periphery of the electrode assembly a battery case that surrounds to exist has a structure of the electrode lead is sealed by the adhesive layer by the sealant at the portion where the electrode lead extending to the outside of the battery case.
[46]
In addition, the electrode assembly is provided with an electrode tab. Collecting plate of the electrode assembly is composed of the electrode terminal portion (hereinafter referred to as "solid portions" La abbreviated) the active material is not a coated portion and an electrode active material is applied, the electrode tab is formed by parts of solid cut, or ultrasound to uncoated portion may be separate conductive members were connected by welding or the like. Electrode tab may be protruding in one direction to face each other to form side-by-side in the electrode assembly, as shown, may be projected in a two-way or multi-directional.
[47]
Electrode tab that acts as the movement of cells within and outside the electronic path, the electrode lead is connected to the electrode tabs and the like of spot welding. Electrode lead may extend in the same direction with each other according to the positions of formation of the positive electrode tab and the negative electrode tab, and may extend in opposite directions. Positive electrode lead and negative electrode lead is a material that may be different from each other. That is, the positive electrode lead is the same aluminum (Al) material and the positive electrode plate, a negative electrode lead may be the same copper (Cu) material or a nickel (Ni) with the coated copper material and the negative electrode plate. Finally, the electrode leads are electrically connected to the external terminal via a terminal portion.
[48]
The pouch exterior is sealed to accommodate the electrode assembly such that a part of the electrode lead, that the terminal is exposed. The sealants such as described above between the electrode leads and the pouch exterior is interposed sealing layer. The pouch exterior includes a sealing area to the border, and the horizontal slit of the electrode leads are spaced from the junction towards the sealing area. That is, when the electrode lead and an inverted T-shape, the leg's T protrudes outside the pouch exterior is formed in the head part of the sealing part's T domain.
[49]
Usually the anode current collector plate to the aluminum material, the negative electrode current collector plate as is to use a copper material, swelling phenomenon occurs because there is a tendency that the copper foil instead of aluminum foil easier to rupture, the rupture probability of the negative electrode lead is higher than the positive electrode lead can. In such a case, it may be desirable to form the negative electrode lead in this electrode breakage can lead
[50]
In the normal state of the secondary battery, and by the sealing layer the electrode assembly is isolated from the outside, excessive charging, internal cell pressure by a cause such as a high temperature rise is though to be the expansion of the cell can induce only cell case a weak portion or other of a weak bonding portion of the component is ruptured will be the exhaust gas in the battery.
[51]
However, the current from the battery as long as the electrode assembly and the electrode leads are electrically connected to, the current continues to flow because the still very difficult to ensure the stability of the battery. In order to solve such a problem, but a method for adjusting the amount of the electrolyte to be injected into the secondary battery or adjust the short-circuit pressure or a current cut-off member (CID) is used that there is a problem of lowering the stability of the excessive charging when the battery. That is, to address the use of stability with the use of the battery in the safety and high-temperature environment of excessive charging when the battery is not at the same time reasonable for.

[58]
Figure 4 is a longitudinal perspective diagram of the short-circuit electrode lead portion pouch type secondary battery connecting layer and the sealing layer is formed in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
[59]
The pouch type secondary battery may further include a sealing layer. The sealing layer is that, while sealing is attached to a predetermined position where the electrode tabs and pouch contact the insulation between the pouch and the electrode tabs. The pouch is so relatively high as the pressure in the portion in contact with the electrode tab in the sealing process, the pouch film Cas suited polypropylene; increases the likelihood of damage to the layer (Casted Polypropylene CPP). Thus, to time, of the sealing layer the inner layer is kept electrically insulating property and mechanical strength and to impart heat resistance to maintain the shape of the sealing layer a pouch and an electrode tab, the pouch is sealed at the heat and pressure conditions to be sealed. In particular, the inner layer of the sealing layer is an aluminum thin film, even if the pouch is partially exposed from the sealing process, to prevent the contact with the electrode tabs and the electrical insulating properties are maintained. The outer layer of the sealing layer is modified in some form even if the heat and pressure conditions allows to maintain the seal by applying the adhesion between the pouch and the electrode tabs. Thus, it cas suited polypropylene of the pouch by heat and pressure in the sealing process of the pouch; is a layer (Casted Polypropylene CPP) strain even if the aluminum thin film is partially exposed is possible to maintain the sealing.
[60]
The first electrode lead may be the first negative electrode lead or the first anode lead.
[61]

[68]
The thickness of the connecting layer is preferably in the range of 1 to 500 ㎛, more preferably from 15 to 300 ㎛. This is because it can adversely affect the performance of normal conduction, heat radiation performance and energy density, if the thickness of the connection layer is outside the above range.
[69]
Surrounding the first anode lead and a second lead connected to the cathode connection layer can be a sealing layer formed of a shape.

Thus, while the pouch is relatively weakly bonded layers are separated by a combination with the time of the expansion gas is generated and the internal pressure is increased due to the abnormal condition of the secondary battery, thereby short-circuiting the first negative electrode lead and the second negative electrode lead.
[72]
