Best mode for carrying out the invention

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those of ordinary skill in the art can easily carry out the present invention. However, the present invention may be embodied in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. And in order to clearly explain the present invention in the drawings, parts irrelevant to the description are omitted, and similar reference numerals are attached to similar parts throughout the specification.
[46]
[Secondary battery according to the first embodiment of the present invention]
[47]
As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 , the secondary battery 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention has a structure to increase battery performance, and accommodates the electrode assembly 110 and the electrode assembly 110 . a battery case 120, a first electrolyte 130 accommodated in the battery case 120 and first impregnated in the electrode assembly 110, built in the battery case 120 and in the electrode assembly 110 and a reinforcing electrolyte member 140 having a second electrolyte impregnated therein secondarily.
[48]
electrode assembly
[49]
The electrode assembly 110 has a structure in which a first electrode and a second electrode are alternately stacked with a separator interposed therebetween. And the first electrode includes an electrode tab. In particular, the electrode lead 111 drawn out of the battery case 120 is coupled to the electrode tab. The first electrode may be an anode, and the second electrode may be a cathode.
[50]
battery case
[51]
The battery case 120 includes an upper case 121 and a lower case 122 corresponding to each other, and a receiving part for accommodating the electrode assembly 110 while the upper case 121 and the lower case 122 are coupled to each other; , to form a sealing portion for sealing the accommodating portion hermetically.
[52]
first electrolyte
[53]
The first electrolyte 130 is an electrolyte for increasing the charging and discharging efficiency of the electrode assembly, provided in the receiving part of the battery case 120 and impregnated in the electrode assembly 110 .
[54]
reinforcing electrolyte
[55]
The reinforcing electrolyte member 140 includes an electrolyte for increasing battery performance after the activation process of the electrode assembly, and includes a packaging material 141 and a second electrolyte solution 142 stored in the packaging material 141 .
[56]
The packaging material 141 is accommodated in the battery case 120 and is provided with an oxidizing part that is oxidized and decomposed at a set voltage. That is, the packaging material 141 may withdraw the second electrolyte stored in the packaging material to the outside through a space formed while the oxidation part is oxidized.
[57]
For example, the packaging material 141 may be entirely formed of an oxidized part. That is, when the entire packaging material 141 is formed of an oxidizing part, the entire packaging material 141 can be oxidized and decomposed by a set voltage.
[58]
In the packaging material 141 having such a configuration, when a set voltage is applied, a hole or space is formed while the packaging material 141 formed as an oxidizing unit is oxidized, and thus the second electrolyte stored in the packaging material can be drawn into the battery case. .
[59]
Meanwhile, the set voltage may be 3V. That is, since charging and discharging proceeds below 3V during charging and discharging of the electrode assembly, oxidation of the packaging material 141 can be prevented during charging and discharging, and when a voltage of 3V or more is applied to the packaging material 141 after the activation process, the packaging material 141 is As it is oxidized, the second electrolyte may be drawn into the battery case.
[60]

[63]
The second electrolyte 142 is an electrolyte different from the first electrolyte, and in particular, is made of a material having superior physical properties than that of the first electrolyte 130 .
[64]
On the other hand, some of the materials used as the second electrolyte have high ionic conductivity by reacting at less than a set voltage (3V) to elute Cu. However, there is a problem that it cannot be used because it reacts at the set voltage. In order to solve the above problems, the second electrolyte can be stably impregnated into the electrode assembly by oxidizing the packaging material after the activation process and then accommodating the second electrolyte in the battery case in a state of being stored in the packaging material formed of the oxidation part, and , thereby achieving high ionic conductivity.
[65]
Meanwhile, the packaging material 141 may be provided to be connected to an electrode lead located inside the battery case. That is, the packaging material 141 is oxidized and decomposed by the voltage transmitted from the electrode lead 111 located inside the battery case 120 , and thus the packaging material 141 can be effectively oxidized. On the other hand, the packaging material 141 may be in contact with the electrode lead 111 located inside the battery case 120 , and thus the packaging material 141 is stably secured by the voltage transmitted from the electrode lead 111 . It can be decomposed by oxidation.
[66]
The reinforcing electrolyte member 140 having such a configuration stores the second electrolyte solution 142 having physical properties in the packaging material 141 formed as an oxidizing part so that the second electrolyte solution 142 is impregnated into the electrode assembly after the activation process of the electrode assembly and, as a result, the battery performance can be greatly improved.
[67]
Accordingly, the secondary battery 100 according to the first embodiment of the present invention includes a packaging material 141 having an oxidizing part and a reinforcing electrolyte member 140 having a second electrolyte 142, so that the second battery stored in the packaging material after the activation process is activated. The electrolyte may be impregnated into the electrode assembly, and as a result, the performance of the electrode assembly may be greatly improved.

[81]
On the other hand, the reinforcing electrolyte member 140 is attached to the center of the inner surface of the upper case, and accordingly, the second electrolyte 142 drawn out from the reinforcing electrolyte member 140 is applied to the entire electrode assembly 110 accommodated in the battery case 120 . It spreads uniformly, and thus the second electrolyte 142 can be uniformly impregnated throughout the electrode assembly 110 .
[82]
Meanwhile, the reinforcing electrolyte member 140 may be further attached to the inner surface of the lower case, and thus the second electrolyte 142 may be effectively impregnated into the electrode assembly 110 .
[83]
Meanwhile, the reinforcing electrolyte member 140 attached to the upper case and the reinforcing electrolyte member 140 attached to the lower case are disposed not to correspond to each other. That is, the reinforcing electrolyte member 140 is attached to one side of the inner surface of the upper case, and the reinforcing electrolyte member 140 is attached to the other side of the inner surface of the lower case. Accordingly, the second electrolyte solution 142 can be supplied to one side and the other side of the electrode assembly, and thus the second electrolyte solution 142 can be effectively impregnated in the entire electrode assembly.
[84]
(d) step
[85]
Step (d) is for first impregnating the electrode assembly. After receiving the electrode assembly 110 through the opening of the battery case 120 , the first electrolyte 130 is applied to the opening of the battery case 120 . inject Then, the first electrolyte 130 injected into the battery case 120 is first impregnated into the electrode assembly 110 .

[87]
(e) step
[88]
Step (e) is for manufacturing an uncharged secondary battery, and when the injection of the first electrolyte is completed, the opening of the battery case 120 is sealed and sealed. Then, an uncharged secondary battery can be manufactured.
[89]
(f) step
[90]
Step (f) is for manufacturing a charge/discharge secondary battery, and charges and discharges an uncharged secondary battery to activate it. Then, a charge-discharge secondary battery can be manufactured.
[91]
At this time, in step (f), charging and discharging is performed at a voltage of 3V or less, preferably 2V or less, during charging and discharging of an uncharged secondary battery.
[92]
(g) step
[93]
Step (g) is for manufacturing a finished secondary battery, and a set voltage is applied to the charge/discharge secondary battery. Then, a voltage is transmitted to the reinforcing electrolyte member 140 attached to the battery case 120, and at this time, the packaging material 141 included in the reinforcing electrolyte member 140 is oxidized and decomposed by the set voltage, and accordingly, the packaging material 141 ) as the second electrolyte 142 stored in the battery case 120 is withdrawn into the interior of the electrode assembly 110 is impregnated secondarily.
