Electrode assembly and rechargeable lithium battery including the same

Abstract

An electrode assembly includes a first short-circuit member, an anode on the first short-circuit member, the anode including a first substrate and a first active material layer on the first substrate, a separator on the anode, a cathode on the separator, the cathode including a second substrate and a second active material layer on the second substrate, and a second short-circuit member on the cathode, wherein each of the first short-circuit member and the second short-circuit member includes a first metal foil, an insulating layer, and a second metal foil that are on top of each other.
