The polybenzimidazole-based polymers in the strong acid conditions H + ion the nitrogen atom (N) when the polymer chains to fold around the positive charges are significantly and by electrical repulsion between chains pulrige the aggregation state of polymer chains This polymer sheet It is dissolved.
[79]
[80]
According to a specific exemplary embodiment of the invention the polymeric sheet can be supported HF scavenging agent. Or, according to other exemplary embodiments the polymer sheet apparently is the HF scavenging agent coated on one side thereof. Wherein the HF scavenger method of coating a method or HF scavenger to supported on the polymeric sheet on the surface of the polymer sheet, but may follow the method described below it is not particularly limited thereto.
[81]
[82]
First pole obtain a uniform solution by dissolving a Revenge imidazole-based polymer powder under a high-temperature high-pressure state to a mixture of LiCl and DMAc. Another method is by refluxing a polybenzimidazole based polymer powder in a mixture of NaOH and ethanol to obtain a solution wherein the concentration of NaOH is maintained at about 3%. When such a method the solution of the pole obtained Revenge imidazole series polymer by applying the solution to a substrate such as glass or teflon and excess solvent it can be produced by removing the polymer sheets.

In the above-mentioned polymer sheet manufacturing method, the input to the HF scavenger to the polymer solution and dried and the solvent may be HF scavenging agent preparing the polymer-supported sheet. Or, for example by immersion of the polymer sheet in a solution that is HF scavenging agent dispersion can be carried in a polymer sheet.
[85]
[86]
On the other hand, the flow coating method (flow coating), spin coating method (spin coating), dip coating method to coat the HF scavenger to the surface of the polymer sheet by various methods such as (dip coating), bar coating method (bar coating) and, by vaporizing a HF scavenger it may be a method of depositing on the surface of the polymer sheet.
[87]
[88]
The polymer sheet may be attached to the portion of the casing form in the assembly process of the secondary battery. In this case, using a non-reactive adhesive (non-reactive adhesive) that do not affect the cell operation can be bonded by adhesive or heat seal the polymer sheet.
[89]
[90]
When attaching the polymer sheet to a portion at least the inner surface of the exterior packaging material is then attached to a polymer sheet on the battery case producing sheet form a housing having a shape corresponding to the electrode assembly, or a polymeric sheet on the inner surface of the form storage unit after the battery case It can be attached.
[91]
[92]
The non-reactive adhesive is meant an adhesive that does not cause side reactions such as electrolyte or the electrode active material and can be, for example, a silicone adhesive polymer or a carbon-fiber polymer adhesive.
[93]
[94]
The thickness of the polymer sheet in consideration of the size of the storage capacity and electrode assembly of the cell case may be appropriately determined. However, when the thickness of the polymer sheet is too thin, if it is difficult to exert a shock-absorbing effect desired, on the contrary too thick, relatively, so a problem that the battery capacity is reduced, preferably 1㎛ ~ 1 mm in consideration of this work number and, more preferably is 10 ㎛ ~ 0.5 mm.
[95]
[96]
In the polymer sheet in the present invention, it is, contains HF scavenging agent as described above. Therefore, to look at the HF Bar to solve many of the problems that can occur if you are present in the cell, which in further detail below.
[97]
[98]
For example, LiPF the electrolytic solution 6, if it contains a lithium salt, LiPF 6 is Li + and PF 6 - should be present in ionic form, but, intent and the side reaction arose unstable PF as a by-product unlike 5 is generated, H which is present in a very small amount in the electrolyte 2 to form HF by reaction with O. HF is destroyed the SEI layer was sikimyeo cause degradation (dissolution) of the cathode, this phenomenon is more remarkably occur in a high temperature. In particular, HF may increase the battery internal pressure due to generate a large amount of gas by the decomposition of the organic solvent component of the electrolyte solution and because of this the battery explosion. Depending on the kind of lithium salt used as an electrolyte in addition to HF is generated are substances such as HF, HCl, HBr, HI, there is a problem that can act as an acid, such as HF (Acid).
[99]
This can be considered a method of directly adding the like HF scavenger as a method for in a battery to solve However, in the case of direct addition of such additives in the electrolyte or the electrode assembly as described above, and the movement of lithium ions may decrease, is relatively reduced capacity of the battery, due to the direct contact with the electrode material can cause a variety of side reactions, there is a problem.
[100]
[101]
On the other hand, increases the amount of HF, as in the present invention, under certain conditions, the pH of the electrolyte up to a certain condition of the polymer sheet is dissolved by being HF scavenging agent battery to minimize the initial side reactions occur due to, the additive when eluted with the electrolyte solution because without deteriorating performance can effectively remove HF, it can exhibit excellent battery performance. That is, HF by erasing agent adsorbed HF present in the cell itself, it is possible to prevent the side reaction are not intended, such as decomposition of the electrode active material or the electrolyte, it is possible to prevent performance deterioration of the battery life characteristics and cell deterioration.
[102]
[103]
The HF scavenger is a material that does not degrade the performance of the battery do not react with the electrolyte and the electrode active material, and a known agent capable of adsorbing HF first HF elimination can be used.

[104]
[105]
The content of the HF scavenger is preferably be contained in an amount of 0.01 to 50% by weight based on the total weight of the polymer sheet. When the amount of the HF scavenger is too small, it is difficult to expect the HF absorption effect of the desired degree, whereas too many cases, by the amount which does not bond to the polymeric sheet, eluting with an electrolytic solution increase Direct addition of HF scavenger in the electrolyte the following problems occur when, and battery capacity, and is not preferable in terms of weight reduction.
[106]
[107]
These in the coating process, the bar in a predetermined coupling aid agent may be added to enhance the HF scavenger binding force of a polymer sheet, wherein the coupling assist agent, or to cause a chemical reaction in the battery is not particularly limited, and for example , there may be mentioned the PVdF, a fluorine-based polymers, PVdF copolymer polymers such as PTFE, PMMA, PAN, PEO, SBR and the like.
[108]
[109]
In some cases, it may be included to add moisture scavenging agent to said polymer sheet, or may contain some moisture or erased instead HF scavenger in a separate polymeric sheet of polymer sheet I. For example, there may be included whereby the polymer sheet comprising HF scavenger and the water scavenging agent at the same time in addition to the inner surface of the battery case. Alternatively, a surface of the battery case is provided with a scavenging agent comprises an HF addition polymer sheet, the other surface there may also be included by being a polymer sheet containing a water-absorbing agent is added. Thus, not only it can remove an acid such as HF, may be essential to prevent its occurrence itself.
[110]
[111]

[112]
[113]
The packaging material may be formed from a laminated sheet consisting of an external cover layer and the barrier layer, and an inner sealant layer of a polyolefin of a metal foil of a polymer film. The outer coating layer because it must have excellent resistance from the external environment, it is necessary to have a predetermined or more tensile strength and weather resistance. A polymer resin of the outer resin layer in such an aspect can be preferably used a stretched nylon film or polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The barrier layer may be aluminum, preferably, to exert the function of improving the strength of the battery case in addition to the ability to prevent entry of foreign matter to leak, such as gas or moisture. The inner sealant layer has a heat-sealable (heat-adhesive), it was hygroscopicity is low, in order to suppress the penetration of the electrolyte, which is a polyolefin (polyolefin) resin that is not expanded or eroded by the electrolytic solution can be preferably used, and more It may preferably be used a new lead-free polypropylene (cPP).
