Abstract

The present invention relates to a pouch case for a secondary battery and a pouch-type secondary battery comprising the same. More particularly, it relates to a pouch case for a secondary battery comprising an inner resin layer, a metal layer and an outer resin layer, wherein the inner resin layer comprises a porous non-woven fabric support having a plurality of pores and a polymer sealant filled in the pores of the non-woven fabric support; and a secondary battery comprising the same.

Claims (22)

1. A pouch case for a secondary battery composed of an inner resin layer, an outer resin layer and a metal layer located between the inner resin layer and the outer resin layer,

wherein the inner resin layer comprises:

a porous non-woven fabric support having a plurality of pores, and

a polymer sealant filled in the pores of the non-woven fabric support,

wherein the non-woven fabric is formed by blend spinning of polypropylene resin and polyester resin, and a weight ratio of the polypropylene resin:the polyester resin is in a range of 5:5 to 7:3.

2. The pouch case for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of the polypropylene resin:the polyester resin is in range of 6:4.

3. The pouch case for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein elongation of the porous non-woven fabric support is 200% or higher.

4. The pouch case for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein thickness of the porous non-woven fabric support is 10 μm to 80 μm.

5. The pouch case for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the polymer sealant comprises polypropylene resin.

6. The pouch case for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the inner resin layer further comprises a polymer member layer at least one side or both sides of the porous non-woven fabric support.

7. The pouch case for a secondary battery of claim 6 , wherein the polymer member layer consists of polypropylene resin.

8. The pouch case for a secondary battery of claim 6 , wherein thickness of the polymer member layer is 20 μm to 40 μm.

9. The pouch case for a secondary battery of claim 6 , wherein the total thickness of the inner resin layer comprising the porous non-woven fabric support and the polymer member layer does not exceed 80 μm.

10. The pouch case for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the metal layer is at least one selected from the group consisting of an alloy of iron (Fe), carbon (C), chromium (Cr) and manganese (Mn); an alloy of iron (Fe), carbon (C), chromium (Cr) and nickel (Ni); and aluminum (Al).

11. The pouch case for a secondary battery of claim 10 , wherein the metal layer is aluminum.

12. The pouch case for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein thickness of the metal layer is 20 μm to 100 μm.

13. The pouch case for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the outer resin layer comprises a single material or a mixture of at least two selected from the group consisting of polyethylene resin, polypropylene resin, polyethylene terephthalate resin, nylon, low density polyethylene resin, high density polyethylene resin and linear low density polyethylene resin.

14. The pouch case for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein thickness of the outer resin layer is 10 μm to 100 μm.

15. A pouch-type secondary battery comprising:

an electrode assembly; and

a pouch case containing the electrode assembly,

wherein the pouch case comprising the pouch case for a secondary battery of claim 1 .
