Potential Commercial Applications

Optimizing Sealing Force in Pouch-Shaped Battery Cells for Enhanced Safety and Reliability

Possible Prior Art

There may be prior art related to enhancing the sealing force of battery cells, but the specific technique of using an embossed pattern on the sealed portion of a pouch-shaped battery case may be unique to this invention.

Unanswered Questions

1. What specific materials are used to create the embossed pattern on the sealed portion of the battery case? 2. Has this technology been tested in real-world applications to validate its effectiveness in enhancing sealing force and safety of battery cells?


Original Abstract Submitted

The present invention relates to a battery cell including a pouch-shaped battery case configured to receive an electrode assembly therein. The pouch-shaped battery case is provided at an outer periphery thereof surrounding an electrode assembly receiving portion with a sealed portion, and an embossed pattern is formed on the sealed portion in all directions. Thus, it is possible to increase sealing force of a pouch-shaped battery cell without the addition of a separate battery cell manufacturing process.
