Pouch and secondary battery comprising the same
View Patent ↗Disclosed is a pouch including a first sealing portion wherein an upper sheet and a lower sheet are sealed, and a second sealing portion present in a partial or entire region of the first sealing portion. The pouch further includes a second sealing portion present in a partial or entire region of the first sealing portion, thus efficiently preventing permeation of external moisture and leakage of electrolyte solution through the first sealing portion and enabling fabrication of batteries with improved capacitance maintenance and resistance increase.
1. A pouch comprising:
a first sealing portion wherein an upper sheet and a lower sheet are sealed; and
a second sealing portion, the second sealing portion being formed of an aluminum metal foil tape or an aluminum metal foil tape having at least one surface coated with an electrical insulator in a partial or entire region of at least one surface where the first sealing portion is formed, wherein the second sealing portion has a thickness of 0.1 to 400 μm, and wherein the second sealing portion is formed in a portion of the first sealing portion where electrode taps are not formed.
2. The pouch according to claim 1 , wherein the electrical insulator is selected from polyolefin polymers, polyester polymers and nylons.
3. A pouch having an upper sheet and a lower sheet, comprising:
a first sealing portion to be sealed; and
a second sealing portion that is formed in a partial or entire region of at least one surface where the first sealing portion is formed, wherein the second sealing portion is present in a region of the first sealing portion where electrode taps are not formed, and wherein the second sealing portion has a thickness of 0.1 to 400 μm.
4. The pouch according to claim 3 , wherein the electrode taps are arranged in identical directions.
5. The pouch according to claim 3 , wherein the electrode taps are arranged in different directions.
6. A pouch having an upper sheet and a lower sheet, comprising:
a first sealing portion to be sealed; and
a second sealing portion that is formed in a part of at least one surface where the first sealing portion is formed, among four surfaces of the pouch where the first sealing portion is formed, wherein the second sealing portion extends from an end of the sealing portion, wherein the second sealing portion has a thickness of 0.1 to 400 μm, and wherein the second sealing portion is formed in a portion of the first sealing portion where electrode taps are not formed.
7. The pouch according to claim 1 , wherein the upper sheet and the lower sheet constituting the second sealing portion include an inner layer, a metal layer and an outer layer laminated in this order.
8. A secondary battery using the pouch according to claim 1 .
9. The secondary battery according to claim 8 , wherein the secondary battery is a lithium secondary battery.
10. The pouch according to claim 1 , wherein the second sealing portion is discontinuously formed.
11. The pouch according to claim 1 , wherein the second sealing portion is formed in the surface where the first sealing portion is formed.
12. The pouch according to claim 1 , wherein the second sealing portion extends from an end of the first sealing portion.
13. The pouch according to claim 12 , wherein the end of the first sealing portion is an outside end.
14. The pouch according to claim 12 , wherein the end of the first sealing portion is an inside end.
