Also, the secondary battery includes a case accommodating an electrolyte and an electrode assembly therein, and the case includes an external layer exposed to the outside, an internal layer disposed in the case, and a short-circuit prevention layer provided in a liquid phase between the external layer and the internal layer.

Claims (10)

1. A secondary battery comprising:

a case accommodating an electrolyte and an electrode assembly therein,

wherein the case comprises:

an external layer exposed to the outside and made of polyethylene terephthalate (PET);

an internal layer disposed in the case and made of polypropylene (PP);

an oil layer containing an oil provided in a liquid phase between the external layer and the internal layer;

an aluminum layer disposed between the external layer and the oil layer; and

an adhesion layer disposed between the aluminum layer and the external layer and provided as an adhesion member that allows the aluminum layer to adhere to the external layer,
