Abstract
An electrode assembly of the present invention comprises a cathode active material layer, a cathode current collector, a separator, an anode current collector, and an anode active material layer, which are stacked in order, wherein the current collectors have a plurality of through-holes formed to allow communication between the upper surface and the lower surface of the current collector. The electrode assembly of the present invention has the effect of preventing a rapid temperature increase if an internal short caused by damage to the separator occurs.
Claims13
An electrode assembly comprising a positive electrode active material layer, a positive electrode current collector, a separator, a negative electrode current collector, and a negative electrode active material layer sequentially stacked in an order listed,
- wherein the positive and negative current collectors include a plurality of through holes, and each of the through holes perforates through the positive and negative current collectors from an upper surface to a lower surface of the positive and negative current collectors.
