Electrode assembly, fabricating method of the electrode assembly and electrochemical cell containing the electrode assembly
View Patent ↗A fabricating method of a unit structure for accomplishing an electrode assembly formed by a stacking method, and an electrochemical cell including the same are disclosed. The fabricating method of the electrode assembly is characterized with fabricating the unit structure by conducting a first process of laminating and forming a bicell having a first electrode/ separator/ second electrode/ separator/ first electrode structure, conducting a second process of laminating a first separator on one of the first electrode among two of the first electrodes, and conducting a third process of laminating second separator/second electrode one by one on the other first electrode among the two of the first electrodes.
1. A fabricating method of an electrode assembly comprising a first electrode, a second electrode and a separator, a unit structure of the electrode assembly being manufactured by:
conducting a first process of laminating and forming a bicell having a first electrode/separator/second electrode/separator/first electrode structure;
after conducting the first process, conducting a second process of laminating a first separator on one of the first electrode among two of the first electrodes; and
after conducting the first process, conducting a third process of laminating second separator/second electrode on the other first electrode among the two of the first electrodes.
2. The fabricating method of an electrode assembly of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the unit structures are stacked.
3. The fabricating method of an electrode assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second process and the third process are conducted by using separate laminators.
4. The fabricating method of an electrode assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second process and the third process are conducted simultaneously or in sequence by using one laminator.
5. The fabricating method of an electrode assembly of claim 1 , wherein both sides of the second separator are coated with a coating material having adhesiveness, and one side of the first separator making a contact with the first electrode is coated with the coating material having adhesiveness.
6. The fabricating method of an electrode assembly of claim 1 , wherein both sides of the separators included in the bicell are coated with a coating material having adhesiveness.
7. The fabricating method of an electrode assembly of claim 5 , wherein the coating material is a mixture of inorganic particles and a binder polymer.
8. The fabricating method of an electrode assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first electrode and the second electrode are double sided electrodes comprising a coated structure on both sides of a current collector with an active material.
