Abstract

A battery includes an electrode assembly including a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, and a separator disposed between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate. A first adhesive layer is provided between the positive electrode plate and the separator, and a second adhesive layer is provided between the negative electrode plate and the separator. A coating weight of the first adhesive layer is smaller than a coating weight of the second adhesive layer, and a total of the coating weight of the first adhesive layer and the coating weight of the second adhesive layer is more than or equal to 0.03 g/m 2 and less than or equal to 0.15 g/m 2 .

Claims (27)

1. A battery comprising an electrode assembly including a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, and a separator disposed between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, wherein

a first adhesive layer is provided between the positive electrode plate and the separator,

a second adhesive layer is provided between the negative electrode plate and the separator,

a coating weight of the first adhesive layer is smaller than a coating weight of the second adhesive layer, and

a total of the coating weight of the first adhesive layer and the coating weight of the second adhesive layer is more than or equal to 0.03 g/m 2 and less than or equal to 0.15 g/m 2 .

2. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the coating weight of the first adhesive layer is more than or equal to 0.01 g/m 2 and less than or equal to 0.05 g/m 2 .

3. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein

the separator includes a substrate composed of a resin, and a heat-resistant layer including inorganic particles and a binder, the heat-resistant layer being provided on the substrate,

the heat-resistant layer and the positive electrode plate face each other with the first adhesive layer being interposed between the heat-resistant layer and the positive electrode plate, and

the substrate and the negative electrode plate face each other with the second adhesive layer being interposed between the substrate and the negative electrode plate.

4. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the positive electrode plate has a positive electrode composite layer including a lithium transition metal composite oxide.

5. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein each of the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer includes at least one adhesive material from a group consisting of an acrylic-resin-based adhesive material, an epoxy-resin-based adhesive material, a styrene-butadiene-rubber-based adhesive material, a silicone-rubber-based adhesive material, and a PVdF-based adhesive material.

6. A method of manufacturing a battery, the method comprising forming an electrode assembly including a positive electrode plate, a negative electrode plate, and a separator disposed between the positive electrode plate and the negative electrode plate, the separator having a first surface facing the positive electrode plate and a second surface facing the negative electrode plate, wherein
