an anode part;
a cathode part;
a separator disposed between the anode part and the cathode part, wherein the separator is a non-electric conductive diaphragm, and prevents a short circuit between the anode part and the cathode part;
a first case disposed outside the anode part; and
a second case disposed outside the cathode part and including one or more openings,
wherein:
the first case and the second case are bonded to each other;
the anode part, the separator, and the cathode part are sealed by the first case and the second case which are bonded;
the anode part includes an assembled anode bottom case, an in-anode separator, and an assembled anode upper case;
the assembled anode bottom case includes an anode bottom case, an anode current collector disposed on the anode bottom case, an anode active material layer disposed on the anode current collector and a liquid electrolyte;
the assembled anode upper case includes one or more solid electrolytes, and an anode upper case bonded to the one or more solid electrolytes;
the assembled anode bottom case, the in-anode separator and the assembled anode upper case are sequentially stacked in the anode part;
the one or more solid electrolytes, the in-anode separator, the liquid electrolyte, the anode active material layer, the anode current collector, the assembled anode bottom case are sealed by the assembled anode bottom case and the assembled anode upper case which are bonded;
a gasket has a direct contact with an inner side surface of the anode bottom case, an outer side surface of the anode upper case, and the liquid electrolyte, and prevents leakage of the liquid electrolyte injected into the anode part;
the one or more solid electrolytes are bonded to the anode upper case and disposed at one or more openings in the anode upper case;
the cathode part includes an ion-containing solution containing sodium, lithium, magnesium, and a combination thereof, and a cathode current collector impregnated into the ion-containing solution, wherein the cathode current collector comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of a carbon paper, a carbon fiber, a carbon cloth, carbon felt, and a metal thin film; and
the ion-containing solution flows into the cathode part from the outside of the second case through the one or more openings of the second case.
