POUCH-TYPE SECONDARY BATTERY AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

A pouch-type secondary battery and a method of manufacturing same are capable of completely protecting a metal layer from moisture or air by forming an insulating coating layer including a conformal coating layer on the metal layer exposed at a cut surface of a battery case. The method includes a first step of preparing a battery case including an upper case and a lower case by cutting a laminate sheet including an outer coating layer, a metal layer, and an inner coating layer; a second step of receiving an electrode assembly between the upper case and the lower case; a third step of forming a sealing portion by contacting outer peripheries of the upper case and the lower case; and a fourth step of forming a conformal coating layer on a side surface of the sealing portion so as to prevent exposure of the metal layer.
