Exterior for secondary battery and secondary battery having the same
Disclosed are an exterior for a secondary battery and a secondary battery. According to one aspect of the present invention, an exterior for a secondary battery, in which an internal space is defined, includes a first metal part and a second metal part spaced apart from the first metal part, wherein the first metal part is disposed closer to the internal space than the second metal part, and the first metal part has a thermal conductivity greater than a thermal conductivity of the second metal part.
1. An exterior for a secondary battery, in which an internal space is defined, the exterior comprising:
a first metal part consisting of a first layer consisting of a first material and a second layer consisting of a second material, the first layer located closer to the internal space than the second layer, the first layer having a thermal conductivity greater than a thermal conductivity of the second layer;
a second metal part spaced apart from the first metal part, the second metal part consisting of a third layer consisting of a third material and a fourth layer consisting of a fourth material, the third layer located closer to the internal space than the fourth layer, the third layer having a thermal conductivity greater than a thermal conductivity of the fourth layer; and
a first adhesive part extending between the first metal part and the second metal part and adhering to each of the first metal part and the second metal part,
wherein the first metal part is disposed closer to the internal space than the second metal part, and
the first metal part has a thermal conductivity greater than a thermal conductivity of the second metal part.
2. The exterior of claim 1 , wherein a flame retardant material is mixed in the first adhesive part.
3. The exterior of claim 1 , wherein the first metal part or the second metal part is made of a clad material.
4. The exterior of claim 2 , wherein the flame retardant material comprises one or more of: phosphorus-based compounds, nitrogen-based compounds, halogen-based compounds, antimony-based compounds, molybdenum-based compounds, zinc borate-based compounds, and metal hydroxides.
5. The exterior of claim 1 , further comprising:
an insulation part spaced apart from the first metal part in a direction towards the internal space and having an electrical insulation property; and
a second adhesive part extending between the first metal part and the insulation part and adhering to each of the first metal part and the insulation part.
6. The exterior of claim 1 , wherein the first material is copper, and the second material is aluminum.
7. The exterior of claim 1 , wherein the third material is copper, and the fourth material is aluminum.
8. The exterior of claim 5 , wherein each of the first adhesive part and the second adhesive part comprises acid modified polypropylene (PPa), and the insulation part comprises cast polypropylene (CPP).
9. The exterior of claim 1 , further comprising:
a first outer surface part laminated on an outer surface of the second metal part; and
a second outer surface part laminated on an outer surface of the first outer surface part,
wherein the first outer surface part comprises oriented nylon (O-nylon), and the second outer surface part comprises polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
10. A secondary battery comprising:
an electrode assembly; and
the exterior of claim 1 , the exterior extending around the electrode assembly and enclosing the electrode assembly within the internal space.
