Abstract

The present invention relates to a pouch type secondary cell with high water-resistance. The pouch type secondary cell comprises a positive electrode, a separation layer, and a negative electrode. Here, the sealing unit of the secondary cell includes steps so that the sealing unit has an outer side thinner than an inner side in thickness. The present invention is advantageous in that the manufacture process can be simplified, the water-resistance and sealing property of sealing portions can be further improved, and the manufacture costs can be reduced.

Claims (4)

1. A pouch type secondary cell, comprising a positive electrode, a separation layer, and a negative electrode, wherein a sealing unit of the secondary cell includes steps so that the sealing unit has an outer side thinner than an inner side in thickness, and wherein the sealing unit of the secondary cell includes a plurality of substantially right angled discontinuous steps.

2. The pouch type secondary cell of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of an outermost internal resin layer of the sealing unit is 3 to 50% of a thickness of the internal resin layer not thermally compressed.

3. The pouch type secondary cell of claim 1 , wherein a thickness of an innermost internal resin layer of the sealing unit is 50 to 95% of a thickness of the internal resin layer not thermally compressed.

4. The pouch type secondary cell of claim 1 , wherein the sealing unit has a width ranging from 3 to 20 mm.
