Abstract

Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a battery electrode in which a positive electrode lead tab and a negative electrode lead tab each of which is integrally formed with a collector formed of a metal foil and has excellent characteristics. The method includes separating a battery electrode having a desired size from a strip-shaped electrode in which an active material is intermittently applied onto a collector. The strip-shaped electrode includes an n-th application part, an n-th non-application part adjoining the n-th application part, and an (n+1)-th application part that adjoins the n-th non-application part on an opposite side at which the n-th application part adjoins the n-th non-application part (n is a positive integer). The battery electrode is cut out from the strip-shaped electrode, including at least the n-th application part, n-th non-application part, and (n+1)-th application part.

Claims (7)

1. A method of manufacturing a battery electrode, comprising separating a battery electrode having a desired size from a strip-shaped electrode in which an active material is intermittently applied onto a collector including an application part in which an active material is formed on a collector and a non-application part in which the active material is not formed on the collector such that the non-application part becomes an electrode lead tab, wherein,

when the battery electrode is cut out from the strip-shaped electrode, a collector surface of the application part and a collector surface of the non-application part which will become the electrode lead tab are retained in the same plane, and a first cutting line which is defined on an opposite side to a portion from which an electrode lead tab formation part is taken and a second cutting line for taking the electrode lead tab are simultaneously punched out,

the strip-shaped electrode includes an n-th application part, an n-th non-application part adjoining the n-th application part, and an (n+1)-th application part that adjoins the n-th non-application part on an opposite side at which the n-th application part adjoins the n-th non-application part, wherein n is a positive integer, and

the battery electrode is cut out from the strip-shaped electrode, including at least the n-th application part, n-th non-application part, and (n+1)-th application part,

the first cutting line and the second cutting line simultaneously cuts out the n-th and n+1)-th application part.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the (n+1)-th application part of the battery electrode is cut away.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the battery electrode is an electrode for a lithium-ion secondary battery.
