최근 이차 전지는 외부의 전기 에너지를 화학 에너지의 형태로 바꾸어 저장해 두었다가 필요할 때에 전기를 만들어 내는 장치를 말한다. 여러 번 충전할 수 있다는 뜻으로 "충전식 전지"(rechargeable battery)라는 명칭도 쓰인다. 흔히 쓰이는 이차전지로는 납 축전지, 니켈 카드뮴 전지(NiCd), 니켈 수소 축전지(NiMH), 리튬 이온 전지(Li-ion), 리튬 이온 폴리머 전지(Li-ion polymer)가 있다. 이차 전지는 한 번 쓰고 버리는 일차 전지에 비해 경제적인 이점과 환경적인 이점을 모두 제공한다.Recently, a secondary battery is a device that converts external electrical energy into chemical energy and stores it and generates electricity when needed. The term "rechargeable battery" is also used to mean that it can be charged multiple times. Commonly used secondary batteries include lead storage batteries, nickel cadmium batteries (NiCd), nickel hydrogen storage batteries (NiMH), lithium ion batteries (Li-ion), and lithium ion polymer batteries (Li-ion polymer). Secondary batteries offer both economic and environmental advantages over primary batteries that are used once and discarded.
이차 전지는 현재 낮은 전력을 사용하는 곳에 쓰인다. 이를테면 자동차의 시동을 돕는 기기, 휴대용 장치, 도구, 무정전 전원 장치를 들 수 있다. 최근 무선통신 기술의 발전은 휴대용 장치의 대중화를 주도하고 있으며, 종래의 많은 종류의 장치들을 무선화하는 경향도 있어, 이차전지에 대한 수요가 폭발하고 있다. 또한, 환경오염 등의 방지 측면에서 하이브리드 자동차, 전기 자동차가 실용화되고 있는데, 이들 차세대 자동차들은 이차전지를 사용하여 값과 무게를 줄이고 수명을 늘리는 기술을 채용하고 있다.Secondary batteries are currently used where low power is used. Examples are devices, handhelds, tools, and uninterruptible power supplies that help start up the car. Recently, the development of wireless communication technology has led to the popularization of portable devices, and there is also a tendency to wirelessize many kinds of conventional devices, and the demand for secondary batteries is exploding. In addition, hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles have been put to practical use in terms of prevention of environmental pollution, and these next-generation vehicles employ technologies that use secondary batteries to reduce value, weight, and extend life.
일반적으로 이차전지는 원통형, 각형 또는 파우치형의 전지가 대부분이다. 이는 이차전지는 음극, 양극 및 분리막으로 구성된 전극조립체를 원통형 또는 각형의 금속캔이나 알루미늄 라미네이트 시트의 파우치형 케이스 내부에 장착하고, 상기 전극 조립체에 전해질을 주입시켜 제조하기 때문이다. 따라서, 이차전지 장착을 위한 일정한 공간이 필수적으로 요구되므로, 이러한 이차전지의 원통형, 각형 또는 파우치형의 형태는 다양한 형태의 휴대용 장치의 개발에 대한 제약으로 작용하게 되는 문제점이 있다. 이에, 형태의 변형이 용이한 신규한 형태의 이차전지가 요구되고 있다.In general, secondary batteries are cylindrical, rectangular or pouch type batteries. This is because the secondary battery is manufactured by mounting an electrode assembly composed of a negative electrode, a positive electrode, and a separator inside a pouch-shaped case of a cylindrical or rectangular metal can or an aluminum laminate sheet, and injecting an electrolyte into the electrode assembly. Therefore, since a certain space for mounting the secondary battery is essentially required, the cylindrical, square or pouch type of the secondary battery has a problem in that it acts as a limitation for the development of various types of portable devices. Accordingly, there is a need for a new type of secondary battery that is easily deformed.
이러한 요구에 대하여, 단면적 직경에 대하여 길이의 비가 매우 큰 전지인 선형전지가 제안되었다. 대한민국 공개특허 제2005-99903호는 내부전극, 외부전극과 이들 전극 사이에 개재되는 전해질층으로 구성되는 가변형 전지를 개시하고 있으나, 가요성이 좋지 않다. 또한, 상기 선형전지는 전해질층을 형성하기 위하여 폴리머 전해질을 사용하게 되므로 전극의 활물질으로의 전해질의 유입이 어려워 전지의 저항이 증가하여 용량 특성 및 사이클 특성이 저하되는 문제점이 있다.In response to this demand, a linear battery has been proposed, which is a battery having a very large ratio of length to cross-sectional diameter. Korean Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2005-99903 discloses a variable battery including an internal electrode, an external electrode, and an electrolyte layer interposed between these electrodes, but its flexibility is not good. In addition, since the linear battery uses a polymer electrolyte to form an electrolyte layer, it is difficult to introduce electrolyte into the active material of the electrode, thereby increasing the resistance of the battery, thereby deteriorating capacity characteristics and cycle characteristics.

However, the configuration described in the embodiments and drawings described below are only the most preferred embodiment of the present invention and do not represent all of the technical idea of the present invention, which can be replaced at the time of the present application It should be understood that there may be various equivalents and variations.
길이 방향으로 연장된 본 발명의 케이블형 이차전지(100)는, 전해질을 포함하는 리튬이온 공급 코어부(110); 상기 리튬이온 공급 코어부(110)의 외면을 둘러싸며 형성된 중공구조의 내부전극 지지체(120)와 상기 내부전극 지지체(120)의 표면에 형성되고, 내부전극 활물질층 및 내부집전체를 구비하는 내부전극(130); 상기 내부전극의 외면을 둘러싸며 형성된 전극의 단락을 방지하는 분리층(140); 및 상기 분리층(140)의 외면을 둘러싸며 형성되고, 외부전극 활물질층과 외부집전체를 구비하는 외부전극(150)을 포함한다.Cable type secondary battery 100 of the present invention extending in the longitudinal direction, the lithium ion supply core portion 110 including an electrolyte; An inner electrode support 120 having a hollow structure formed around the outer surface of the lithium ion supply core part 110 and an inner electrode active material layer and an inner current collector formed on a surface of the inner electrode support 120 An electrode 130; Separation layer 140 to prevent the short circuit of the electrode formed surrounding the outer surface of the inner electrode; And an external electrode 150 formed surrounding the outer surface of the separation layer 140 and including an external electrode active material layer and an external current collector.
이때, 상기 중공 구조의 내부전극 지지체는 리튬이온 공급 코어부(110)의 전해질을 수용할 수 있는 중공구조를 가지며, 전해질이 내부전극 활물질 및 외부전극 활물질로 자유롭게 이동하여 웨팅(wetting)을 원할히 할 수 있는 기공을 표면에 가지는 구조라면 모두 채택이 가능하다. At this time, the inner electrode support of the hollow structure has a hollow structure that can accommodate the electrolyte of the lithium ion supply core unit 110, the electrolyte is free to move to the internal electrode active material and the external electrode active material to facilitate the wetting (wetting). Any structure having pores on the surface can be adopted.
이러한 중공 구조의 내부전극 지지체의 예로는, 중공사일 수 있으나, 여기에 한정되지는 않는다. Examples of the internal electrode support of the hollow structure may be hollow fiber, but are not limited thereto.
상기 중공사는, 폴리에틸렌, 폴리프로필렌, 폴리테트라플루오로에틸렌, 폴리비닐리덴플루오라이드, 폴리이미드, 폴리에틸렌테레프탈레이트, 폴리아미드 이미드, 폴리에스테르이미드, 폴리에테르설폰, 및 폴리설폰으로 이루어진 군으로부터 선택된 1종 이상의 고분자를 이용하여, 통상의 중공사 형성 방법에 의하여 얻어질 수 있다.The hollow yarn is selected from the group consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinylidene fluoride, polyimide, polyethylene terephthalate, polyamide imide, polyesterimide, polyethersulfone, and polysulfone Using more than one polymer, it can be obtained by a conventional hollow fiber forming method.

그리고, 본 발명의 일 실시에에 따른 케이블형 이차전지의 단면은 특별히 그 형상에 제한되지 않으며, 본 발명의 본질을 훼손하지 않는 어떠한 형상도 가능하다. 예를 들면, 케이블형 이차전지의 단면은 원형 또는 다각형일 수 있는데, 원형은 기하학적으로 완전한 대칭형의 원형과 비대칭형의 타원형 구조이다. 다각형은 2차원의 시트형이 아닌 구조라면 특별히 제한되는 것은 아니고, 이러한 다각형 구조의 비제한적인 예로는 삼각형, 사각형, 오각형 또는 육각형일 수 있다. In addition, the cross section of the cable type secondary battery according to one embodiment of the present invention is not particularly limited in shape, and may be any shape that does not impair the essence of the present invention. For example, the cross section of the cable type secondary battery may be circular or polygonal, which is a geometrically perfect symmetrical circular and asymmetrical oval structure. The polygon is not particularly limited as long as it is not a two-dimensional sheet-like structure, and a non-limiting example of the polygonal structure may be a triangle, a square, a pentagon, or a hexagon.
본 발명의 케이블형 이차전지는 전술한 형상의 수평 단면을 가지며, 수평 단면에 대한 길이방향으로 길게 늘어진 선형구조를 갖고, 가요성을 가지므로 변형이 자유롭다. The cable-type secondary battery of the present invention has a horizontal cross section of the above-described shape, has a linear structure elongated in the longitudinal direction with respect to the horizontal cross section, and has flexibility so that deformation is free.
기존의 케이블형 이차전지는 내부전극과 외부전극 사이에 전해질층을 구비하고 이들 전해질층은 단락을 방지하기 위하여 내부전극과 외부전극을 격리시켜야 하므로 일정한 수준의 기계적 물성을 갖는 겔형 고분자 전해질이나 고체 고분자 전해질을 사용할 필요가 있다. 그러나, 이러한 겔형 고분자 전해질이나 고체 고분자 전해질은 리튬이온 소스로써의 성능이 뛰어나지 않으므로, 전극 활물질층에 리튬이온을 충분히 공급하기 위해서는 전해질층의 두께가 증가될 수 밖에 없으며, 이러한 전해질층의 두께의 증가에 의해서 전극간의 간격이 벌어지게 되어 오히려 저항의 증가로 인한 전지성능의 저하를 가져오게 되는 문제가 있다. The conventional cable type secondary battery has an electrolyte layer between the inner electrode and the outer electrode, and these electrolyte layers must isolate the inner electrode and the outer electrode in order to prevent a short circuit, and thus have a gel polymer electrolyte or a solid polymer having a certain level of mechanical properties. It is necessary to use an electrolyte. However, since the gel polymer electrolyte or the solid polymer electrolyte does not have excellent performance as a lithium ion source, in order to supply lithium ions to the electrode active material layer sufficiently, the thickness of the electrolyte layer must be increased, and the thickness of the electrolyte layer is increased. Due to the gap between the electrodes is widened there is a problem that leads to a decrease in battery performance due to the increase in resistance.
반면에, 본 발명의 케이블형 이차전지(100)는 전해질을 포함하는 리튬이온 공급 코어부(110)를 구비하며, 본 발명의 내부전극 집전체는 중공 구조의 구조를 가지고, 내부전극도 열린 구조를 갖는 내부집전체와 내부전극 활물질층이 적용되어 있으므로, 리튬이온 공급 코어부(110)의 전해질은 내부전극 지지체를 통과하여 내부집전체, 내부전극 활물질층(130) 및 외부전극 활물질층 등에 도달할 수 있다. On the other hand, the cable-type secondary battery 100 of the present invention includes a lithium ion supply core unit 110 including an electrolyte, the internal electrode current collector of the present invention has a hollow structure, the internal electrode is also an open structure Since the internal current collector and the internal electrode active material layer having the same are applied, the electrolyte of the lithium ion supply core unit 110 passes through the internal electrode support to reach the internal current collector, the internal electrode active material layer 130 and the external electrode active material layer. can do.
여기서 열린 구조라 함은 그 열린 구조를 경계면으로 하고, 이러한 경계면을 통과하여 내부에서 외부로의 물질의 이동이 자유로운 형태의 구조를 말하는 것이다.Here, the open structure refers to a structure in which the open structure is used as a boundary surface, and freely moves materials from inside to outside through this boundary surface.
따라서, 전해질층의 두께를 무리하게 증가시킬 필요가 없으며, 오히려 전해질층을 필수구성요소로 하지 않으므로 선택적으로 세퍼레이터만을 사용할 수도 있다. 즉, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 케이블형 이차전지는 전해질을 포함하는 리튬이온 공급 코어부(110)를 구비하여 전극의 활물질으로의 침투가 용이하여, 전극에서의 리튬이온의 공급 및 리튬이온의 교환을 용이하게 할 수 있으므로, 전지의 용량 특성 및 사이클 특성이 우수하다.Therefore, it is not necessary to excessively increase the thickness of the electrolyte layer, and rather, only the separator may be selectively used since the electrolyte layer is not an essential component. That is, the cable-type secondary battery according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a lithium ion supply core unit 110 including an electrolyte, so that the electrode easily penetrates into the active material, thereby supplying lithium ions from the electrode and supplying lithium ions. Can easily be replaced, and the battery has excellent capacity characteristics and cycle characteristics.

At this time, the inner electrode active material layer is formed on the surface of the open structure of the inner current collector, as well as the case where the open structure of the inner current collector is formed to surround the outer surface of the inner current collector and is not exposed to the outer surface of the inner electrode active material layer. And the open structure of the inner current collector is exposed to the outer surface of the inner electrode active material layer. For example, the case where an active material layer is formed on the surface of the wound wire-type current collector, and the case where the wire-type current collector in which the electrode active material layer was formed are used are wound.
또한, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 내부전극에서는, 중공 구조의 내부전극 지지체 상에, 내부전극 활물질층을 먼저 형성하고, 이후에 상기 내부전극 활물질층의 표면에 내부집전체를 형성할 수 있다. 이 경우에도 중공 구조의 내부전극의 기공들이 폐쇄되지 않고, 열린구조의 내부전극이 되도록 내부전극 활물질층 및 내부집전체가 형성된다. 이때, 상기 내부집전체로서 금속 코팅층이 적용될 경우, 예를 들면 무전해 도금 방법을 이용하여 형성될 수 있다.In addition, in the internal electrode according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the internal electrode active material layer may be first formed on the internal electrode support of the hollow structure, and then the internal current collector may be formed on the surface of the internal electrode active material layer. . Even in this case, the pores of the internal electrodes of the hollow structure are not closed, and the internal electrode active material layer and the internal current collector are formed to be the internal electrodes of the open structure. In this case, when the metal coating layer is applied as the internal current collector, for example, it may be formed using an electroless plating method.

집전체는 활물질의 전기화학 반응에 의해 생성된 전자를 모으거나 전기화학 반응에 필요한 전자를 공급하는 역할을 하는 것으로, 일반적으로 구리나 알루미늄 등의 금속을 사용한다. 특히, 도전재로 표면처리된 비전도성 고분자 또는 전도성 고분자로 이루어진 고분자 전도체를 사용하는 경우에는 구리나 알루미늄과 같은 금속을 사용한 경우보다 상대적으로 가요성이 우수하다. 또한, 금속 집전체를 대체하여 고분자 집전체를 사용하여 전지의 경량성을 달성할 수 있다.The current collector collects electrons generated by the electrochemical reaction of the active material or serves to supply electrons required for the electrochemical reaction. Generally, a metal such as copper or aluminum is used. In particular, in the case of using a non-conductive polymer surface-treated as a conductive material or a polymer conductor made of a conductive polymer, it is relatively more flexible than using a metal such as copper or aluminum. In addition, it is possible to achieve the light weight of the battery by using a polymer current collector in place of the metal current collector.

본 발명의 전극 활물질층은 집전체를 통해서 이온을 이동시키는 작용을 하고, 이들 이온의 이동은 전해질층으로부터의 이온의 흡장 및 전해질층으로의 이온의 방출을 통한 상호작용에 의한다. The electrode active material layer of the present invention functions to move ions through a current collector, and the movement of these ions is caused by interaction through occlusion of ions from the electrolyte layer and release of ions into the electrolyte layer.
이러한 전극 활물질층은 음극 활물질층과 양극 활물질층으로 구분할 수 있다.The electrode active material layer may be classified into a negative electrode active material layer and a positive electrode active material layer.
구체적으로, 상기 내부전극이 음극이고, 상기 외부전극이 양극인 경우, 상기 내부전극 활물질층은 음극 활물질층으로서, 천연흑연, 인조흑연, 탄소질재료; 리튬 함유 티타늄 복합 산화물(LTO), Si, Sn, Li, Zn, Mg, Cd, Ce, Ni 또는 Fe인 금속류(Me); 상기 금속류(Me)로 구성된 합금류; 상기 금속류(Me)의 산화물(MeOx); 및 상기 금속류(Me)와 탄소와의 복합체로 이루어진 군으로부터 선택된 어느 하나의 활물질 입자 또는 이들 중 2종 이상의 혼합물을 포함할 수 있고, 상기 외부전극 활물질층은 양극 활물질층으로서, LiCoO2, LiNiO2, LiMn2O4, LiCoPO4, LiFePO4, LiNiMnCoO2 및 LiNi1-x-y-zCoxM1yM2zO2(M1 및 M2는 서로 독립적으로 Al, Ni, Co, Fe, Mn, V, Cr, Ti, W, Ta, Mg 및 Mo로 이루어진 군으로부터 선택된 어느 하나이고, x, y 및 z는 서로 독립적으로 산화물 조성 원소들의 원자 분율로서 0 ≤ x < 0.5, 0 ≤ y < 0.5, 0 ≤ z < 0.5, x+y+z ≤ 1임) 로 이루어진 군으로부터 선택된 어느 하나의 활물질 입자 또는 이들 중 2종 이상의 혼합물을 포함할 수 있다.Specifically, when the inner electrode is a negative electrode, and the outer electrode is a positive electrode, the inner electrode active material layer is a negative electrode active material layer, natural graphite, artificial graphite, carbonaceous material; Metals (Me) that are lithium-containing titanium composite oxide (LTO), Si, Sn, Li, Zn, Mg, Cd, Ce, Ni, or Fe; Alloys composed of the metals (Me); Oxides of the metals (Me) (MeOx); And any one active material particles selected from the group consisting of metals (Me) and a composite of carbon or a mixture of two or more thereof, and the external electrode active material layer is a positive electrode active material layer, LiCoO 2 , LiNiO 2 , LiMn 2 O 4 , LiCoPO 4 , LiFePO 4 , LiNiMnCoO 2 and LiNi 1-xyz Co x M1 y M2 z O 2 (M1 and M2 are independently of each other Al, Ni, Co, Fe, Mn, V, Cr, Ti , W, Ta, Mg and Mo, and x, y and z are each independently the atomic fraction of the elements of the oxide composition 0 ≤ x <0.5, 0 ≤ y <0.5, 0 ≤ z <0.5 , x + y + z ≦ 1) and any one active material particles selected from the group consisting of 2 or a mixture of two or more thereof.
또한, 상기 내부전극이 양극이고, 상기 외부전극이 음극인 경우에는 내부전극 활물질층은 양극 활물질층이 되고, 외부전극 활물질층은 음극 활물질층이 될 수 있다.In addition, when the internal electrode is a positive electrode and the external electrode is a negative electrode, the internal electrode active material layer may be a positive electrode active material layer, and the external electrode active material layer may be a negative electrode active material layer.
전술한 바와 같이, 상기 외부전극은 도 1에 도시된 바와 같이, 상기 분리층(140)의 외면을 둘러싸며 형성되고, 외부전극 활물질층과 외부집전체를 포함하는 외부전극(150)을 구비할 수 있다. As described above, the external electrode is formed surrounding the outer surface of the separation layer 140 as shown in FIG. 1, and includes an external electrode 150 including an external electrode active material layer and an external current collector. Can be.
이때, 상기 외부전극(150)은 분리층과 접하게 되는, 외부전극 활물질층과 외부집전체의 배치에 따라서 여러가지 구현예가 가능하다.At this time, the external electrode 150 is in contact with the separation layer, various embodiments are possible depending on the arrangement of the external electrode active material layer and the external current collector.
예를 들면, 상기 외부전극(150)은 상기 분리층(140)의 외면을 둘러싸며 형성된 외부전극 활물질층과 상기 외부전극 활물질층의 외면을 둘러싸며 형성된 외부집전체를 구비하는 구조, 상기 분리층의 외면을 둘러싸며 형성된 외부집전체와 상기 외부집전체의 외면을 둘러싸며 형성된 외부전극 활물질층을 구비하는 구조, 상기 분리층의 외면을 둘러싸며 형성된 외부집전체와 상기 외부집전체의 외면을 둘러싸며 상기 분리층과 접촉하도록 형성된 외부전극 활물질층을 구비하는 구조, 또는 상기 분리층의 외면을 둘러싸며 형성된 외부전극 활물질층, 및 상기 외부전극 활물질층 내에 피복되어 있고, 상기 분리층의 외면을 이격된 상태로 둘러싸며 형성된 와이어형 외부집전체를 구비하는 구조가 가능하다.For example, the external electrode 150 has a structure including an external electrode active material layer formed surrounding the outer surface of the separation layer 140 and an external current collector formed surrounding the outer surface of the external electrode active material layer, the separation layer. A structure including an outer current collector formed to surround an outer surface of the outer current collector and an outer electrode active material layer formed to surround the outer surface of the outer current collector, and an outer current collector formed to surround the outer surface of the separation layer and an outer surface of the outer current collector A structure including an external electrode active material layer formed to contact the separation layer, or an external electrode active material layer formed surrounding the outer surface of the separation layer, and covered with the external electrode active material layer, and spaced apart from an outer surface of the separation layer. It is possible to have a structure having a wire-type external current collector formed in a surrounded state.
이때, 이러한 분리층의 외면에 외부집전체를 권선하게 되는 경우에, 활물질층과의 접촉면적이 충분히 넓어지므로 일정한 수준의 전지성능이 보장된다. 특히, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 외부전극 활물질층은 예를 들면 활물질 슬러리의 형태로 제조되어 외부집전체의 외면에 코팅되어 형성되므로 외부전극 활물질층은 상기 분리층과 접촉될 수 있다. 또한, 상기 외부집전체는 외부전극 활물질층의 내부에 피복되어 포함되어 있으면서, 상기 분리층의 외면을 외부전극 활물질층에 의해 이격된 상태로 둘러싸며 형성될 수 있고, 그 결과 외부집전체와 외부전극 활물질 간의 전기접점(electric contact)를 향상시킬 수 있으므로 전지의 특성향상에 기여한다.At this time, when the external current collector is wound on the outer surface of the separation layer, the contact area with the active material layer is sufficiently wide, so that a certain level of battery performance is ensured. In particular, the external electrode active material layer according to an embodiment of the present invention is manufactured in the form of an active material slurry, for example, is formed by coating on the outer surface of the external current collector, the external electrode active material layer may be in contact with the separation layer. In addition, the external current collector may be formed by covering the inside of the external electrode active material layer and surrounding the outer surface of the separation layer by being spaced apart by the external electrode active material layer. Since the electrical contact between the electrode active material can be improved, it contributes to the improvement of the characteristics of the battery.
예를 들어, 외부집전체로 가요성을 갖는 권선된 와이어형 외부집전체가 사용되는 경우, 상기 권선된 와이어형 외부집전체는 그 형태로 인하여 탄성을 가지게 되고, 전체적인 케이블형 이차전지의 가요성을 향상시키는 역할을 하게 된다. 또한, 외부에서 과도한 힘이 본 발명의 케이블형 이차전지에 가해지는 경우에도 본 발명의 와이어형 외부집전체는 형태적 특성상 구겨지거나 꺾이는 등의 과도한 변형이 적으므로 내부집전체와의 접촉에 따른 단락의 염려가 적다.For example, when a wired external current collector having flexibility as an external current collector is used, the wound wire external current collector has elasticity due to its shape, and the flexibility of the overall cable type secondary battery It will serve to improve In addition, even when excessive force is applied to the cable-type secondary battery of the present invention, since the wire-type external current collector of the present invention has little excessive deformation such as being wrinkled or bent due to its shape, a short circuit caused by contact with the internal current collector There is little worry.
전극 활물질층은 전극 활물질, 바인더 및 도전재를 포함하며 집전체와 결합하여 전극을 구성한다. 전극이 외부의 힘에 의해서 접히거나 심하게 구부러지는 등의 변형이 일어나는 경우에는, 전극 활물질의 탈리가 발생하게 된다. 이러한 전극 활물질의 탈리로 인하여 전지의 성능 및 전지 용량의 저하가 발생하게 된다. 하지만, 권선된 와이어형 외부집전체가 탄성을 가지므로 외부의 힘에 따른 변형시에 힘을 분산하는 역할을 하므로 활물질층에 대한 변형이 적게 일어나고 따라서 활물질의 탈리를 예방할 수 있다. 본 발명의 분리층은 전해질층 또는 세퍼레이터를 사용할 수 있다.The electrode active material layer includes an electrode active material, a binder, and a conductive material, and combines with the current collector to form an electrode. When deformation occurs, such as the electrode being folded or severely bent by an external force, detachment of the electrode active material occurs. Due to the detachment of the electrode active material, a decrease in battery performance and battery capacity occurs. However, since the wound wire-type external current collector has elasticity, it plays a role of dispersing the force during deformation due to external force, so that less deformation of the active material layer occurs, thereby preventing detachment of the active material. As the separation layer of the present invention, an electrolyte layer or a separator may be used.
이러한 이온의 통로가 되는 전해질층으로는 PEO, PVdF, PMMA, PAN 또는 PVAC를 사용한 겔형 고분자 전해질 또는 PEO, PPO(polypropylene oxide), PEI(polyethylene imine), PES(polyethylene sulphide) 또는 PVAc(polyvinyl acetate)를 사용한 고체 전해질 등을 사용한다. 고체 전해질의 매트릭스(matrix)는 고분자 또는 세라믹 글라스를 기본골격으로 하는 것이 바람직하다. 일반적인 고분자 전해질의 경우에는 이온전도도가 충족되더라도 반응속도적 측면에서 이온이 매우 느리게 이동할 수 있으므로, 고체인 경우보다 이온의 이동이 용이한 겔형 고분자의 전해질을 사용하는 것이 바람직하다. 겔형 고분자 전해질은 기계적 특성이 우수하지 않으므로 이를 보완하기 위해서 기공구조 지지체 또는 가교 고분자를 포함할 수 있다. 본 발명의 전해질층은 분리막의 역할이 가능하므로 별도의 분리막을 사용하지 않을 수 있다.The electrolyte layer serving as a passage for these ions may be a gel polymer electrolyte using PEO, PVdF, PMMA, PAN, or PVAC or PEO, polypropylene oxide (PPO), polyethylene imine (PEI), polyethylene sulphide (PES), or polyvinyl acetate (PVAc). Solid electrolyte using the same. The matrix of the solid electrolyte is preferably made of polymer or ceramic glass as a basic skeleton. In the case of a general polymer electrolyte, even if the ion conductivity is satisfied, ions may move very slowly in terms of reaction rate, and therefore, it is preferable to use an electrolyte of a gel polymer having easier movement of ions than a solid. Since the gel polymer electrolyte is not excellent in mechanical properties, it may include a pore structure support or a crosslinked polymer to compensate for this. Since the electrolyte layer of the present invention may serve as a separator, a separate separator may not be used.
본 발명의 전해질층은, 리튬염을 더 포함할 수 있다. 리튬염은 이온 전도도 및 반응속도를 향상시킬 수 있는데, 이들의 비제한적인 예로는, LiCl, LiBr, LiI, LiClO4, LiBF4, LiB10Cl10, LiPF6, LiCF3SO3, LiCF3CO2, LiAsF6, LiSbF6, LiAlCl4, CH3SO3Li, CF3SO3Li, (CF3SO2)2NLi, 클로로보란리튬, 저급지방족카르본산리튬 및 테트라페닐붕산리튬을 사용할 수 있다.

이하에서는 일시예에 따른 케이블형 이차전지 및 그 제조방법을 도 1를 참조하여 간략하게 살펴본다.Hereinafter, a cable type secondary battery and a method of manufacturing the same according to an exemplary embodiment will be briefly described with reference to FIG. 1.
일 실시예에 따른 본 발명의 케이블형 이차전지(100)는 전해질을 포함하는 리튬이온 공급 코어부(110); 상기 리튬이온 공급 코어부(110)의 외면을 둘러싸며 형성된 중공 구조의 내부전극 지지체(120)와 상기 내부전극 지지체(120)의 표면에 형성되고, 내부전극 지지체 및 내부전극 활물질을 구비하는 내부전극(130); 상기 내부전극의 외면을 둘러싸며 형성된 전극의 단락을 방지하는 분리층(140); 및 상기 분리층(140)의 외면을 둘러싸며 형성되고, 외부전극 활물질층과 외부집전체를 구비하는 외부전극(150);을 구비한다.Cable type secondary battery 100 of the present invention according to an embodiment includes a lithium ion supply core unit 110 including an electrolyte; An inner electrode formed on a surface of the inner electrode support 120 and the inner electrode support 120 having a hollow structure formed surrounding the outer surface of the lithium ion supply core part 110, and having an inner electrode support and an inner electrode active material 130; Separation layer 140 to prevent the short circuit of the electrode formed surrounding the outer surface of the inner electrode; And an external electrode 150 formed surrounding the outer surface of the separation layer 140 and having an external electrode active material layer and an external current collector.
먼저, 고분자 전해질을 사용하여 압출기 등을 사용하여 와이어 형태로 형성하여 리튬이온 공급 코어부(110)를 준비한다. 또는, 중공 구조의 내부전극 지지체를 준비한 후에, 내부전극 지지체의 중심부에 비수전해액을 주입하여 리튬이온 공급 코어부(110)를 형성할 수도 있으며, 보호코팅까지 적용된 전지 조립체를 준비한 이후에 전지의 내부전극 지지체 중심부에 비수전해액을 주입하여 형성할 수도 있다. 또 다른 방법으로는 스폰지 재질의 와이어 형태의 담체를 준비한 후에 이에 비수전해액을 주입하여 리튬이온 공급 코어부(110)를 준비할 수도 있다.First, a lithium ion supply core unit 110 is prepared by forming a wire using an extruder or the like using a polymer electrolyte. Alternatively, after preparing the internal electrode support having a hollow structure, the lithium ion supply core unit 110 may be formed by injecting a nonaqueous electrolyte into the center of the internal electrode support, and after preparing the battery assembly applied to the protective coating, the inside of the battery It can also be formed by injecting a nonaqueous electrolyte into the electrode support. As another method, after preparing the carrier in the form of a wire of sponge material, a non-aqueous electrolyte may be injected thereto to prepare the lithium ion supply core unit 110.
이후에, 상기 내부전극 지지체 상에 내부전극을 구비하는데, 상기 내부전극의 형태는 전술한 바와 같이, 상기 내부전극 지지체의 외면을 둘러싸도록 내부전극 활물질층을 먼저 형성하고, 이후 상기 내부전극 활물질층의 외면에 내부집전체를 형성하거나, 또는 상기 내부전극 지지체의 외면에 내부집전체를 먼저 형성하고, 상기 내부집전체의 외면에 내부전극 활물질층을 형성하여 내부전극을 구비할 수 있다.Subsequently, an inner electrode is provided on the inner electrode support, and as described above, an inner electrode active material layer is first formed to surround the outer surface of the inner electrode support, and then the inner electrode active material layer. An inner current collector may be formed on an outer surface of the inner current collector, or an inner current collector may be first formed on an outer surface of the inner electrode support, and an inner electrode active material layer may be formed on an outer surface of the inner current collector to provide an inner electrode.
예를 들면, 먼저, 선형의 와이어 형태 또는 시트 형태의 내부집전체를 준비하고 상기 내부전극 집전체(120)에 권선한다. 상기 권선된 내부집전체의 표면에 내부전극 활물질층을 코팅한다. 이러한 코팅방법으로는 일반적인 코팅방법이 적용될 수 있으며, 구체적으로는 전기도금(electroplating) 또는 양극산화처리(anodic oxidation process) 방법이 사용 가능하지만, 일정한 간격을 유지하기 위해서는 활물질을 포함하는 전극슬러리를 압출기를 통하여 불연속적으로 압출코팅하는 방법을 사용하여 제조하는 것이 바람직하다. 또한, 활물질을 포함하는 전극슬러리인 경우에는 딥코팅(dip coating) 또는 압출기를 사용하여 압출코팅하는 방법을 사용하여 제조하는 것도 가능하다. 이때, 내부집전체로서 금속 코팅층을 도입할 수 있고, 상기 금속 코팅층은 무전해 도금법을 이용하여 형성될 수 있다.For example, first, an internal current collector in the form of a linear wire or sheet is prepared and wound on the internal electrode current collector 120. An inner electrode active material layer is coated on a surface of the wound inner current collector. A general coating method may be applied as such a coating method. Specifically, an electroplating or an anodizing process may be used, but in order to maintain a constant interval, an electrode slurry containing an active material may be extruded. It is preferable to manufacture using a method of extrusion coating discontinuously through. In addition, in the case of the electrode slurry containing the active material, it is also possible to manufacture by using a method of extrusion coating using a dip coating or an extruder. In this case, a metal coating layer may be introduced as an internal current collector, and the metal coating layer may be formed using an electroless plating method.
또는, 내부전극 집전체 표면에 내부전극 활물질층을 먼저 코팅하고, 그 위에 다양한 형태의 내부집전체를 도입할 수도 있다. Alternatively, the internal electrode active material layer may be first coated on the surface of the internal electrode current collector, and various types of internal current collectors may be introduced thereon.
이어서, 상기 내부전극(130)을 둘러싸도록 고분자 전해질층으로 이루어진 분리층(140)을 형성한다. 상기 전해질층인 분리층(140)을 형성하는 방법도 특별히 한정되지는 않지만, 선형인 케이블형 이차전지의 특성상 압출코팅하는 방법을 사용하는 것이 제조하기가 용이하다.Subsequently, a separation layer 140 made of a polymer electrolyte layer is formed to surround the internal electrode 130. Although the method of forming the separation layer 140, which is the electrolyte layer, is not particularly limited, it is easy to manufacture using a method of extrusion coating due to the characteristics of the linear cable-type secondary battery.
상기 코팅된 전해질인 분리층(140)의 외면에 외부전극을 형성하고, 상기 외부전극은 전술한 바와 같이 외부전극 활물질층과 외부집전체의 배치에 따라서 다양한 구조가 가능하다.An external electrode is formed on an outer surface of the separation layer 140 which is the coated electrolyte, and the external electrode may have various structures according to the arrangement of the external electrode active material layer and the external current collector as described above.
예를 들면, 분리층(140)의 외면에 활물질층을 코팅하여 형성하고, 외부집전체를 준비하여 상기 외부전극 활물질층의 외면에 도입하여 외부전극(150)을 형성한다.  For example, an active material layer is coated on the outer surface of the separation layer 140, an external current collector is prepared, and introduced to the outer surface of the external electrode active material layer to form an external electrode 150.
이때, 내부전극 활물질층의 코팅방법이 외부전극 활물질층의 코팅에도 동일하게 적용될 수 있다.In this case, the coating method of the inner electrode active material layer may be applied to the coating of the outer electrode active material layer.
이때, 상기 외부집전체로는, 권선된 와이어형 집전체, 권선된 시트형 집전체, 파이프형 집전체 또는 메쉬형 집전체가 적용될 수도 있다. In this case, as the external current collector, a wound wire current collector, a wound sheet current collector, a pipe current collector, or a mesh current collector may be applied.
이때, 외부전극 활물질층을 외부집전체에 미리 형성시킨 다음에 이를 분리층 위에 적용하여 외부전극을 형성할 수도 있다. 예를 들어, 권선된 시트형 집전체의 경우, 시트형 집전체 상에 외부전극 활물질층을 형성시키고, 이를 소정의 폭을 갖도록 절단하여 시트형 외부전극을 준비할 수 있다. 이후, 상기 외부전극 활물질층이 분리층에 접하도록 준비된 시트형 외부전극을 분리층의 외면을 권선하여 외부전극을 분리층 상에 형성할 수 있다.In this case, the external electrode active material layer may be previously formed on the external current collector, and then applied to the separation layer to form the external electrode. For example, in the case of the wound sheet current collector, a sheet external electrode may be prepared by forming an external electrode active material layer on the sheet current collector and cutting the sheet to have a predetermined width. Subsequently, the external electrode may be formed on the separation layer by winding the outer surface of the separation layer on the sheet-type external electrode prepared to contact the external electrode active material layer.
한편, 외부전극이 상기 분리층의 외면을 둘러싸며 형성된 외부집전체와 상기 외부집전체의 외면을 둘러싸며 상기 분리층과 접촉하도록 형성된 외부전극 활물질층을 구비는 구조인 경우, 먼저 상기 분리층의 외면에 예를 들어, 와이어형 또는 시트형의 외부집전체를 감는다. 감는 방법을 특별히 한정하는 것을 아니지만, 와이어형의 외부집전체의 경우에는 권선기를 응용하여 분리층의 외면에 감을 수 있다. 그리고, 상기 권선된 와이어형 또는 시트형의 외부집전체의 외면에 외부전극 활물질층을 코팅하여 형성한다. 이러한 외부전극 활물질층은 권선된 와이어형 집전체를 감싸며 분리막층과 접촉하도록 형성된다.On the other hand, when the external electrode has a structure having an outer current collector formed surrounding the outer surface of the separation layer and the outer electrode active material layer formed to contact the separation layer surrounding the outer surface of the outer current collector, first of the separation layer For example, a wire type or sheet type external current collector is wound on the outer surface. Although the winding method is not particularly limited, in the case of a wire-type external current collector, a winding machine may be applied to the outer surface of the separation layer. In addition, an outer electrode active material layer is formed on the outer surface of the wound wire or sheet type current collector. The external electrode active material layer is formed to surround the wound wire-type current collector and to contact the separator layer.
또한, 외부전극이 상기 분리층의 외면을 둘러싸며 형성된 외부전극 활물질층, 및 상기 외부전극 활물질층 내에 피복되어 있고, 상기 분리층의 외면을 이격된 상태로 둘러싸며 형성된 외부집전체를 구비하는 구조인 경우에는, 먼저 상기 분리층의 외면에 최종적으로 얻고자 하는 외부전극 활물질층 중 일부를 먼저 형성하고, 그 상부에 외부집전체를 둘러싸도록 형성하고, 다시 상기 외부집전체 상에 외부전극 활물질층을 추가로 형성하여 상기 외부집전체를 완전히 피복시킨다. 이때, 외부집전체는 분리층과 이격된 상태로, 외부전극 활물질층의 내부에 존재하게 되므로 집전체와 활물질 간의 전기접점(electric contact)를 향상시킬 수 있으므로 전지의 특성향상에 기여한다 In addition, a structure including an external electrode active material layer formed to surround the outer surface of the separation layer, and an external current collector that is covered in the external electrode active material layer and surrounds the outer surface of the separation layer in a spaced apart state. In the case of, first, a part of the external electrode active material layer to be finally obtained on the outer surface of the separation layer is first formed, and is formed to surround the external current collector on the upper portion, and again the external electrode active material layer on the external current collector Is further formed to completely cover the external current collector. In this case, since the external current collector is spaced apart from the separation layer and is present inside the external electrode active material layer, electrical contact between the current collector and the active material can be improved, thereby contributing to improvement of characteristics of the battery.
마지막으로, 상기 전극조립체의 외면을 감싸도록 보호피복(160)을 형성한다. 상기 보호피복(160)은 절연체로서 공기 중의 수분 및 외부충격에 대하여 전극을 보호하기 위해 최외면에 형성한다. 보호피복(160)으로는 통상의 고분자 수지를 사용할 수 있으며, 일례로 PVC, HDPE 또는 에폭시 수지가 사용 가능하다.Finally, the protective coating 160 is formed to surround the outer surface of the electrode assembly. The protective coating 160 is formed on the outermost surface to protect the electrode against moisture and external impact in the air as an insulator. As the protective coating 160, a conventional polymer resin may be used. For example, PVC, HDPE, or epoxy resin may be used.

도 2를 참조하면, 본 발명의 내부전극(230)은 중공 구조의 내부전극 지지체(220)의 표면에 내부전극 활물질층과 내부집전체를 순차적으로 또는 그 반대순서로 형성하여 열린 구조를 유지하며, 다시 내부전극(220)의 표면에 전해질 흡수층(270)을 형성한 것으로, 상기 전해질 흡수층(270)은 상기 리튬이온 공급 코어부(210)의 전해질을 함유할 수 있고, 또한 상기 전해질 흡수층(270)은 리튬염을 포함할 수 있으므로, 전극에서의 리튬이온의 공급 및 리튬이온의 교환을 용이하게 할 수 있으므로, 전지의 용량 특성 및 사이클 특성의 향상에 기여할 수 있다. Referring to FIG. 2, the internal electrode 230 of the present invention maintains an open structure by sequentially forming the internal electrode active material layer and the internal current collector on the surface of the internal electrode support 220 having a hollow structure or in reverse order. In addition, the electrolyte absorbing layer 270 is formed on the surface of the internal electrode 220, and the electrolyte absorbing layer 270 may contain an electrolyte of the lithium ion supply core part 210, and the electrolyte absorbing layer 270. ) May contain a lithium salt, so that the supply of lithium ions and the exchange of lithium ions at the electrode can be facilitated, which can contribute to the improvement of capacity characteristics and cycle characteristics of the battery.
상기 전해질 흡수층으로는 그 종류를 특별히 한정하는 것은 아니지만, PEO, PVdF, PVdF-HFP, PMMA, PAN 또는 PVAC를 사용한 겔형 고분자 전해질; 또는 PEO, PPO(polypropylene oxide), PEI(polyethylene imine), PES(polyethyle sulphide) 또는 PVAc(polyvinyl acetate)를 사용한 고체 전해질; 중에서 선택된 고분자로 형성된 것을 사용할 수 있으며, 이러한 전해질 흡수층은 리튬염을 더 포함할 수 있다.Although the kind is not specifically limited as the said electrolyte absorption layer, Gel-type polymer electrolyte using PEO, PVdF, PVdF-HFP, PMMA, PAN, or PVAC; Or a solid electrolyte using PEO, polypropylene oxide (PPO), polyethylene imine (PEI), polyethyle sulphide (PES), or polyvinyl acetate (PVAc); One formed of a polymer selected from among those may be used, and the electrolyte absorbing layer may further include a lithium salt.
이러한 전해질 흡수층의 형성방법으로는 딥코팅(dip coating) 또는 압출기를 사용하여 압출코팅하는 방법을 사용할 수 있다. As the method of forming the electrolyte absorbing layer, a dip coating or a method of extrusion coating using an extruder may be used.
또한, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 케이블형 이차전지는, 상기 내부전극 및 분리층 사이에 제1 전해질 흡수층을 더 구비하고, 상기 분리층 및 외부전극 사이에 제2 전해질 흡수층을 더 구비할 수 있다.In addition, the cable-type secondary battery according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a first electrolyte absorbing layer between the inner electrode and the separating layer, and further include a second electrolyte absorbing layer between the separating layer and the outer electrode. have.
즉, 도 3을 참조하면, 상기 케이블형 이차전지(300)는 전해질을 포함하는 리튬이온 공급 코어부(310); 상기 리튬이온 공급 코어부의 외면을 둘러싸며 형성된 내부전극 지지체(320), 상기 내부전극 지지체의 표면에, 내부전극 활물질층과 내부집전체가 순차적으로 또는 그 역순으로 배치되어 형성된 내부전극(330), 상기 내부전극의 외면에 형성된 제1 전해질 흡수층(370); 상기 제1 전해질 흡수층의 외면을 둘러싸며 형성된 전극의 단락을 방지하는 분리층(340); 상기 분리층의 표면에 형성된 제2 전해질 흡수층(380); 및 상기 제2 전해질 흡수층의 외면을 둘러싸며 형성되고, 외부전극 활물질층과 외부지지체가 전술한 바와 같이 다양한 형태로 배치되어 있는 외부전극(350)을 포함한다.That is, referring to FIG. 3, the cable type secondary battery 300 includes a lithium ion supply core unit 310 including an electrolyte; An inner electrode support 320 formed to surround the outer surface of the lithium ion supply core part, an inner electrode 330 formed on the surface of the inner electrode support by forming an inner electrode active material layer and an inner current collector sequentially or in reverse order; A first electrolyte absorbing layer 370 formed on an outer surface of the inner electrode; A separation layer 340 which prevents a short circuit of an electrode formed surrounding the outer surface of the first electrolyte absorbing layer; A second electrolyte absorbing layer 380 formed on a surface of the separation layer; And an external electrode 350 formed surrounding the outer surface of the second electrolyte absorbing layer and having the external electrode active material layer and the external support disposed in various forms as described above.
이때, 상기 제1 전해질 흡수층 및 제2 전해질 흡수층도 전술한 전해질 흡수층과 동일한 재료 및 방법으로 각각 독립적으로 형성될 수 있다.In this case, the first electrolyte absorbing layer and the second electrolyte absorbing layer may be formed independently of the same material and method as the aforementioned electrolyte absorbing layer.
이와 같이, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 케이블형 이차전지는 내부전극의 외면에 전해질 흡수층을 구비하거나, 내부전극 및 분리층 외면에 각각 제1 및 제2 전해질 흡수층을 구비하므로, 리튬이온 공급 코어부의 전해질을 전해질 흡수층에 함유할 수 있으므로, 전극에서의 리튬이온의 공급 및 리튬이온의 교환을 보다 효율적으로 향상시킬 수 있다.As such, the cable-type secondary battery according to the exemplary embodiment of the present invention includes an electrolyte absorbing layer on the outer surface of the inner electrode, or a first and second electrolyte absorbing layers on the outer surface of the inner electrode and the separation layer, respectively, thereby providing a lithium ion supply core. Since the negative electrolyte can be contained in the electrolyte absorbing layer, the supply of lithium ions and the exchange of lithium ions at the electrode can be more efficiently improved.
또한, 본 발명의 일 실시예에 따른 케이블형 이차전지에서 상기 내부전극 및 외부전극 중 1종 이상은 2 이상의 와이어가 서로 나선형으로 꼬여진 나선전극일 수 있다.In addition, in the cable type secondary battery according to an embodiment of the present invention, at least one of the internal electrode and the external electrode may be a spiral electrode in which two or more wires are twisted in a spiral.
도 4와 도 5를 참조하면, 이러한 나선전극(20)은 적어도 2 이상의 와이어형 집전체(21)들이 서로 평행하게 배치되어 나선형으로 꼬여있으며, 상기 와이어형 전극(21)은 와이어형 집전체(22)의 표면에 전극 활물질층(23)이 코팅되어 있을 수도 있다.4 and 5, the spiral electrode 20 has at least two or more wire-like current collectors 21 arranged in parallel to each other and twisted in a spiral shape, and the wire-type electrode 21 is a wire-type current collector ( The electrode active material layer 23 may be coated on the surface of 22.
상기 나선전극(20)은 여러 가닥의 와이어형 집전체(21)를 나선형으로 꼬아 놓은 것으로, 특정의 꼬인 형태로 한정하는 것은 아니지만, 여러 가닥의 와이어형 집전체(21)를 서로 평행이 되도록 나란히 놓은 다음에 함께 비틀어서 꼴 수도 있고, 또는 여러 가닥의 와이어형 집전체(21)를 서로 하나씩 엇갈려 놓으면서, 마치 긴 머리를 땋듯이 꼰 것을 사용할 수도 있다.The spiral electrode 20 is a spiral twisted wire-like current collector 21 of several strands, but is not limited to a specific twisted shape, side by side so that the wire-like current collector 21 of several strands parallel to each other It may be twisted together after laying, or may be used to braid long hairs, while staggering several strands of wire-like current collectors 21 one by one.
특히 내부전극이 음극인 경우에는, 음극활물질로 사용되는 고용량의 음극 소재인 Si나 Sn 계열들의 금속 또는 금속화합물들은 이들 소재의 특성상 Li이온이 합금(alloying)/탈합금(dealloying) 과정을 통해 전기화학적 특성이 구현되기 때문에, 부피팽창에 의한 체적 변화가 크고, 이러한 체적의 변화가 더욱 심화되면 구조가 붕괴된다. 그러면, 금속 활물질 간의 전자적 접촉이 나빠지므로, 이들 음극활물질의 금속층 내부로의 Li이온의 이동이 저해되어 사이클의 열화가 일어난다. 그리고, 형성된 음극활물질층의 금속의 밀도가 높고 층의 두께가 두꺼운 경우에는 음극활물질 금속층의 내부로까지 Li이온의 확산이 어려워 용량 구현이 제한되며, 레이트(rate) 특성이 열악하다. 그러나, 상기 나선전극은 와이어형 집전체의 표면에 음극활물질층이 코팅된 음극집전체 여러 개가 꼬여져 겹처져 있으므로, 충방전 과정에서의 Li이온과의 반응표면적이 증가하여 전지 성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 또한, 음극활물질층이 얇게 코팅된 와이어형 음극집전체를 사용하여 전지의 레이트(rate) 특성을 향상시킬 수 있다. 그리고, 나선전극 내부의 여러 가닥의 와이어형 음극집전체들 사이에 공간이 존재하여 충방전 시에 수반되는 활물질층의 부피팽창과 같은 전지 내부의 스트레스 및 압력에 대한 완충작용이 가능하여 전지의 변형을 방지하고 안정성의 확보가 가능하여 전지의 수명 향상에 기여할 수 있다.Particularly, when the internal electrode is a cathode, Si or Sn-based metals or metal compounds, which are high-capacity cathode materials used as a cathode active material, are characterized by the fact that Li ions are alloyed / dealloying due to their characteristics. Since the chemical properties are realized, the volume change due to volume expansion is large, and the structure collapses when the change in volume is intensified. As a result, the electronic contact between the metal active materials worsens, and therefore, the movement of Li ions into the metal layer of the negative electrode active material is inhibited, resulting in deterioration of the cycle. In addition, when the metal of the formed negative electrode active material layer has a high density and the thickness of the layer is thick, it is difficult to diffuse Li ions to the inside of the negative electrode active material metal layer, thereby limiting the implementation of capacity and having a poor rate characteristic. However, since the spiral electrode has a plurality of negative electrode current collectors coated with a negative electrode active material layer on the surface of the wire-type current collector is twisted and overlapped, the reaction surface area with Li ions during the charge and discharge process can be increased to improve battery performance. have. In addition, the rate characteristics of the battery may be improved by using a wire-type negative electrode current collector coated with a thin layer of the negative electrode active material. In addition, there is a space between the wire-like negative electrode current collectors of several strands inside the spiral electrode, and thus buffering against stress and pressure inside the battery such as volume expansion of the active material layer accompanying charge and discharge is possible. Can be prevented and the stability can be ensured, contributing to the improvement of battery life.
이러한 나선전극의 꼬임율은 0.01 ~ 10 mm/회일 수 있다. 여기서의 꼬임율은 나선전극의 길이를 꼬인 횟수로 나눈 것으로, 그 수치가 작을수록 꼬임의 정도가 더 높아지게 된다. 이때의 꼬임율이 10 mm/회를 초과하는 경우에는 와이어형 집전체 들 간의 접촉되는 면적이 너무 적어서 표면적 증대의 효과가 미미하고, 0.01 mm/회 미만인 경우에는 꼬임의 정도가 과도하여 전극 활물질층의 탈리 및 집전체의 단절과 같은 전극의 손상이 발생할 염려가 있다.The twist rate of the spiral electrode may be 0.01 to 10 mm / time. The twist rate is obtained by dividing the length of the spiral electrode by the number of twists, and the smaller the value is, the higher the degree of twist is. At this time, when the twist rate exceeds 10 mm / time, the area of contact between the wire-type current collectors is too small, so that the effect of increasing the surface area is insignificant.
