Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a cable-type secondary battery of free shape adaptation.


BACKGROUND ART

Secondary batteries are devices capable of storing energy in chemical form and of converting into electrical energy to generate electricity when needed. The secondary batteries are also referred to as rechargeable batteries because they can be recharged repeatedly. Common secondary batteries include lead accumulators, NiCd batteries, NiMH accumulators, Li-ion batteries, Li-ion polymer batteries, and the like. When compared with disposable primary batteries, not only are the secondary batteries more economically efficient, they are also more environmentally friendly.


The secondary batteries are currently used in applications requiring low electric power, for example, equipment to help the start-up of vehicles, portable devices, tools, uninterruptible power supplies, and the like. Recently, as the development of wireless communication technologies has been leading to the popularization of portable devices and even to the mobilization of many kinds of conventional devices, the demand for the secondary batteries is dramatically increasing. The secondary batteries are also used in environmentally friendly next-generation vehicles such as hybrid vehicles and electric vehicles to reduce the costs and weight and to increase the service life of the vehicles.


Generally, the secondary batteries have a cylindrical, prismatic, or pouch shape. This is associated with a manufacturing process of the secondary batteries in which an electrode assembly composed of an anode, a cathode, and a separator is mounted in a cylindrical or prismatic metal case or a pouch-shaped case of an aluminum laminate sheet, and in which the case is filled with electrolyte. Because a predetermined mounting space for the electrode assembly is necessary in this process, the cylindrical, prismatic or pouch shape of the secondary batteries is a limitation in developing various shapes of portable devices. Accordingly, there is a need for a secondary battery of a new structure that is easily adaptable in shape.


To fulfill this need, suggestions have been made to develop linear batteries having a very high ratio of length to cross-sectional diameter. Korean Patent Publication No. 2005-0099903 discloses a thread-type flexible battery comprising an inner electrode, electrolyte, and an outer electrode, however has a limited structure of one anode and one cathode and consequently a low capacity balance. Korean Patent No. 0804411 discloses a linear battery comprising a plurality of anodes and a plurality of cathodes with separators interposed therebetween. Korean Patent Registration No. 0742739 discloses a thread-type flexible battery including cathode threads and anode threads, however this is not based on an outer/inner electrode structure.


DISCLOSURE

DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

Other objects and aspects of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:



FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a circular cable-type secondary battery; and



FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of an oval cable-type secondary battery.





BEST MODE

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The description proposed herein is just a preferable example for the purpose of illustrations only, not intended to limit the scope of the invention, so it should be understood that other equivalents and modifications could be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.



FIGS. 1 and 2 illustrate examples of cable-type secondary batteries according to the present invention, wherein like elements are referred to like reference numerals. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a cable-type secondary battery of the present invention comprises an inner electrode, an electrolyte layer 30, an outer electrode, and a protection coating 40. The inner electrode comprises at least two anodes arranged in parallel that have a horizontal cross section of a predetermined shape and extend longitudinally. The electrolyte layer 30 is formed on the inner electrode and serves as an ion channel. The outer electrode comprises a cathode including a cathode active material layer 21 surrounding the inner electrode. The protection coating 40 surrounds the outer electrode.


Alternatively, a cable-type secondary battery of the present invention comprises an inner electrode, an electrolyte layer 30, an outer electrode, and a protection coating 40. The inner electrode comprises at least two cathodes arranged in parallel that have a horizontal cross section of a predetermined shape and extend longitudinally. The electrolyte layer 30 is formed on the inner electrode and serves as an ion channel. The outer electrode comprises an anode including an anode active material layer 21 surrounding the inner electrode. The protection coating 40 surrounds the outer electrode. Here, the predetermined shape is not limited to a specific shape, and may include any shape without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.


The cable-type secondary battery of the present invention has a horizontal cross section of a predetermined shape and a linear structure extending perpendicularly to the horizontal cross section. Also, the cable-type secondary battery has flexibility and consequently free shape adaptation. The cable-type secondary battery may have various shapes such as, for example, a circular shape of geometrical symmetry as shown in FIG. 1 or an oval shape of geometrical asymmetry as shown in FIG. 2.


The cable-type secondary battery of the present invention has an inner electrode comprising a plurality of anodes or cathodes and an outer electrode comprising a tubular cathode or anode. The anode or the cathode generally includes a current collector and an active material layer formed on the current collector. However, when an active material layer alone functions as a current collector, the current collector may not be necessary. The anode or the cathode may have a cross section of a circular or polygonal shape, wherein the circular shape may be a circular shape of geometrical symmetry or an oval shape of geometrical asymmetry, and the polygonal shape is not limited to a specific type of polygonal shape unless it is a two-dimensional sheet type. For example, the polygonal shape may be, but not limited to, a triangular, square, pentagonal, or hexagonal shape.


The inner electrode comprises at least two anodes or cathodes arranged in parallel, however the present invention is not limited in this regard. For example, a plurality of anodes or cathodes may be arranged to be straight or twisted. In FIG. 1, an inner electrode is shown comprising four anodes or cathodes, and in FIG. 2, an inner electrode is shown comprising three anodes or cathodes.


The cable-type secondary battery comprising a plurality of electrodes has a high battery rate and excellent cell performance as a consequence of an increased contact area with an opposite electrode. Also, the cable-type secondary battery may be subject to a short circuit caused by repeated use due to its flexibility, however the battery may operate even when a short circuit occurs in one electrode. To maintain the capacity balance of the battery, an inner electrode comprising anodes should use a larger amount of an anode active material than that of a cathode active material used in an inner electrode comprising cathodes, due to the fact that an anode active material has a higher capacity per volume than a cathode active material. In the present invention, the capacity balance between inner and outer electrodes may be controlled by adjusting the number of inner electrodes.


Preferably, the anode or the cathode of the present invention includes a current collector 10 or 20 and an active material layer 11 or 21 formed on the surface of the current collector 10 or 20 by coating. The active material allows ion migration through the current collector 10 or 20, and ion migration is carried out by intercalation/disintercalation of ions into/from the electrolyte layer.


Preferably, the current collector 10 or 20 may be made from stainless steel, aluminum, nickel, titanium, sintered carbon, and copper; stainless steel surface-treated with carbon, nickel, titanium, and silver; aluminum-cadmium alloys; non-conductive polymers surface-treated with a conductive material; or conductive polymers.


The current collector 10 or 20 gathers the electrons generated by an electrochemical reaction of the active material, or supplies the electrons required for an electrochemical reaction. Generally, the current collector 10 or 20 is made from metal such as copper or aluminum. However, when the current collector 10 or 20 is particularly a polymer conductor of a non-conductive polymer surface-treated with a conductive material or of a conductive polymer, flexibility is relatively higher than that of the case where the current collector 10 or 20 is made from metal such as copper or aluminum. As the cable-type secondary battery of the present invention may have a plurality of electrodes, a plurality of current collectors may be used. Accordingly, even a small change in flexibility of each current collector may affect flexibility of the entire battery. Also, replacing a metal current collector with a polymer current collector may achieve light weight of the battery.


The conductive material may include polyacetylene, polyaniline, polypyrrole, polythiophene, polysulfur nitride, indium thin oxide (ITO), silver, palladium, nickel, and copper. The conductive polymer may include polyacetylene, polyaniline, polypyrrole, polythiophene, and polysulfur nitride. However, the non-conductive polymer used in the current collector 10 or 20 is not limited to a specific type of non-conductive polymer.


The anode active material may include, but is not limited to, carbonaceous materials; lithium-containing titanium composite oxides (LTOs); metals (Me) such as Si, Sn, Li, Zn, Mg, Cd, Ce, Ni, and Fe; alloys of the metals (Me); oxides (MeOx) of the metals (Me); and composites of the metals (Me) and carbon.


The cathode active material may include, but is not limited to, LiCoO2, LiNiO2, LiMn2O4, LiCoPO4, LiFePO4, LiNiMnCoO2, and LiNi1-x-y-zCoxM1yM2zO2 (M1 and M2 are each independently any one selected from the group consisting of Al, Ni, Co, Fe, Mn, V, Cr, Ti, W, Ta, Mg, and Mo, and x, y, and z are each independently an atomic fraction of each component in the oxide, where 0≦x<0.5, 0≦y<0.5, 0≦z<0.5, x+y+z≦1).


In the cable-type secondary battery of the present invention, the electrolyte layer 30 formed on the inner electrode (anode or cathode) may prevent a direct contact between the inner electrode and the outer electrode, thereby preventing a short circuit, and may relatively increase a surface area of the inner electrode, thereby achieving a high battery rate. The electrolyte layer 30 as an ion channel is formed from a gel polymer electrolyte of polyethylene oxide (PEO), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVdF), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polyacrylonitrile (PAN), or polyvinylacetate (PVAc); or a solid electrolyte of PEO, polypropylene oxide (PPO), polyethylene imine (PEI), polyethylene sulphide (PES), or PVAc. Preferably, a matrix of the solid electrolyte is basically a polymer matrix or a ceramic-glass matrix. Even though a typical polymer electrolyte has sufficient ion conductivity, ions may move slowly, that is, a reaction rate may be low, and thus the gel polymer electrolyte having favorable ion movement is preferred over the solid electrolyte. Because the gel polymer electrolyte has poor mechanical properties, a porous support or a crosslinked polymer may be used to improve the mechanical properties of the gel polymer electrolyte. The electrolyte layer 30 of the present invention may act as a separator, thereby eliminating the use of a separator.


The electrolyte layer 30 of the present invention may further contain a lithium salt. The lithium salt may improve ion conductivity and reaction rate, and may include, but is not limited to, for example, LiCl, LiBr, LiI, LiClO4, LiBF4, LiB10Cl10, LiPF6, LiCF3SO3, LiCF3CO2, LiAsF6, LiSbF6, LiAlCl4, CH3SO3Li, CF3SO3Li, (CF3SO2)2NLi, chlorine borane lithium, aliphatic lower lithium carbonate, and tetra-phenyl lithium borate.


The protection coating 40 of the present invention acts as an insulator, and is formed on the outer surface of the outer electrode to protect the electrode from moisture in the air or from external impact. The protection coating 40 may include typical polymer resins, for example, PVC, high-density polyethylene (HDPE), or epoxy resin.


Hereinafter, a method for manufacturing the cable-type secondary battery as described above is described below in brief.


The anode or the cathode has the active material layer 11 or 21 formed on the current collector 10 or 20 by coating. In this instance, a typical coating process may be used, specifically an electroplating process or an anodic oxidation process. It is preferred to extrusion-coat an electrode slurry including an active material on a current collector through an extruder.


After the formed anode or cathode is applied as an inner electrode, the electrolyte layer 30 is formed around the inner electrode having the electrolyte layer 30. The active material layer 21 of the outer electrode is formed around the perimeter of the inner electrode. Alternatively, the inner electrode may be inserted into the active material layer 21. After the inner electrode and the active material layer 21 of the outer electrode are formed, the current collector 20 of the outer electrode and the protection coating 40 are formed thereon. Alternatively, after the outer electrode and the protection coating 40 are formed, the inner electrode may be inserted into the active material layer 21 of the outer electrode, or after the current collector 20 of the outer electrode and the protection coating 40 are formed, the inner electrode may be inserted and the active material layer 21 of the outer electrode may be then formed.
