Application: Secondary battery (Patent ID: US20230420744A1)

The patent filed by Samsung SDI Co Ltd. describes a secondary battery design that includes a swelling tape positioned inside the base finish part of the electrode assembly to minimize contact resistance between the base finish part and the cylindrical can, even in the presence of winding radius deviations. The swelling tape is designed to press the base finish part into the can, ensuring efficient electrical contact. The battery also features a cap assembly for sealing the electrode assembly within the can.

The secondary battery design includes specific features such as the positioning of the swelling tape to press the base finish part against the side portion of the can, as well as details regarding the composition of the first electrode plate and the non-coating portion covering the outermost periphery of the electrode assembly. The patent also outlines the use of a swelling tape with an acrylic binder that can absorb electrolyte to swell, along with specific dimensions and configurations for optimal performance. Overall, the design aims to address technical challenges related to contact resistance and winding radius variations in secondary batteries, offering a solution that enhances efficiency and reliability in battery operation.
