Prismatic type secondary battery and manufacturing method thereof

Abstract

A prismatic type secondary battery includes an electrode assembly including an electrode tab, a pouch that accommodates the electrode assembly and includes a joint portion formed open at a location corresponding to the electrode tab, a prismatic can having one side open to accommodate the pouch, and a cap assembly including a metal current collector and inserted into the open side of the prismatic can, and in this case, the pouch includes the joint portion joined to the cap assembly while the electrode tab is connected to the metal current collector, and the prismatic type secondary battery improves the efficiency of an electrolyte injection process through a sealing structure in which a pouch accommodating an electrode assembly is inserted into a prismatic can and a joint portion of the pouch is joined to a cap assembly.
