- the electrode assembly manufactured by the above method can exhibit the advantage of improving the detachment phenomenon between the electrode and the separator and thus improving the short-circuit safety between the electrodes by providing an adhesive portion between the electrode and the separator in at least one area in the direction in which the tabs of the electrode are located, but the mechanism of the present invention is not limited thereto.
- an electrochemical device in which the electrode assembly described above is housed in a case.
- the case may adopt a conventionally used battery case, and is not particularly limited in its external shape according to the purpose of the battery.
- the case may be a cylindrical shape, a square shape, a pouch shape, or a coin shape using a can.
- the electrode assembly as described above When the electrode assembly as described above is completed, it can be housed and sealed in a case using a conventional method to manufacture an electrochemical device.
- the electrochemical device can be, for example, a lithium secondary battery.
