SECONDARY BATTERY AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

A method for manufacturing a secondary battery includes manufacturing an electrode assembly having a stacked structure in which a negative electrode, an individual layer of a separator, a positive electrode, and an individual layer of the separator are repeated by alternately inserting the positive electrode and the negative electrode between the adjacent individual layers of the separator. Fold lines are formed on the separator at a predetermined interval, and the separator is folded in a zigzag shape along a vertical direction by the fold lines to form the plurality of individual layers; inserting the electrode assembly into a pouch; and discharging a gas from the Each of the positive electrode and the negative electrode is manufactured in a square shape so that remaining three sides except for one side facing the fold lines are opened.
