Abstract

Disclosed is a battery cell, which includes a battery case having an accommodation portion in which an electrode assembly is configured to be mounted, and a sealing portion formed by sealing an outer periphery of the battery case; an electrode lead electrically connected to an electrode tab included in the electrode assembly and protruding out of the battery case via the sealing portion; and a lead film located at a portion corresponding to the sealing portion in at least one of a first side and a second side of the electrode lead, wherein the lead film includes a first adhesive layer and a second adhesive layer, and a moisture removal layer is disposed between the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer, and the moisture removal layer includes a getter material.

First claim

1 . A battery cell, comprising:
a battery case having an accommodation portion in which an electrode assembly is configured to be mounted, and a sealing portion formed by sealing an outer periphery of the battery case; an electrode lead electrically connected to an electrode tab included in the electrode assembly and protruding out of the battery case via the sealing portion; and a lead film located at a portion corresponding to the sealing portion on at least one of a first side and a second side of the electrode lead, wherein the lead film includes a first adhesive layer and a second adhesive layer, and a moisture removal layer is disposed between the first adhesive layer and the second adhesive layer, and the moisture removal layer includes a getter material.

2 . The battery cell according to claim 1 ,
wherein the getter material includes at least one of calcium oxide (CaO), lithium chloride (LiCl), silica (SiO 2 ), barium oxide (BaO), barium (Ba), and calcium (Ca).

3 . The battery cell according to claim 1 ,
wherein the getter material has a structure of metal organic framework (MOF).

4 . The battery cell according to claim 1 ,
wherein the moisture removal layer further includes a polyolefin-based resin.

5 . The battery cell according to claim 1 ,
wherein the moisture removal layer further includes polypropylene.

6 . The battery cell according to claim 1 ,
wherein the moisture removal layer has a thickness of 60 μm or more.

7 . The battery cell according to claim 4 ,
wherein the moisture removal layer includes 0.01 percent weight to 80 percent weight of the getter material, based on the total weight of the moisture removal layer.

8 . The battery cell according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first adhesive layer includes a polyolefin-based resin.

9 . The battery cell according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first adhesive layer includes polypropylene treated with maleic anhydride (MAH).

10 . The battery cell according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first adhesive layer has gas permeability of 20 Barrer to 60 Barrer at 60° C.

11 . The battery cell according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first adhesive layer has a thickness of 60 μm or more.

12 . The battery cell according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second adhesive layer includes a polyolefin-based resin.

13 . The battery cell according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second adhesive layer has gas permeability of 20 Barrer to 60 Barrer at 60° C.

14 . The battery cell according to claim 1 ,
wherein the second adhesive layer has a thickness of 60 μm or more.

15 . The battery cell according to claim 1 ,
wherein the first adhesive layer is adhered to an outer surface of the electrode lead, and the second adhesive layer is adhered to an inner surface of the sealing portion.

16 . The battery cell according to claim 1 ,
