Patent attributes
A type of lithium ion secondary battery is disclosed; therein, the positive electrode 1 is formed by smearing an active material on the surface of an aluminum foil body, where said active material is compound oxide(s) comprising transition metals and lithium capable of absorbing and releasing lithium ions; the negative electrode 2 is formed by smearing an active material on the surface of a copper foil body, where said active material includes carbon material capable of absorbing and releasing lithium ions. Both the positive and negative electrodes have conducting strips acting as current conductors 6, 7. The positive and negative electrodes 1, 2 are in plate form and are alternately stacked on both sides of the belt-shaped separator 3 to form the electrode core 4. The separator 3 wraps around said electrode plates and separates the positive and negative electrodes 1, 2. This type of lithium ion secondary battery can effectively use the internal space of a battery shell, increase the battery's energy density, improve the large current discharge characteristic of the lithium ion secondary battery, the self-discharge ability, the battery's cycling capability and the battery's capacity.
