hereinafter , the present invention will be discussed in detail with reference to the figures . the present invention provides a cell structure and a method for the preparation thereof that is more convenient to manufacture and uses space more efficiently compared to conventional cells . the present invention provides a unique but a simple way of maximizing the content of electrode active material in a prismatic battery while solving various shortcomings of various conventional cell structures discussed above . in principle , the present invention does not make avail of longitudinally cut electrodes used for spiral winding or folding , but rather uses the method of stacking electrodes cut in a predetermined form . the most typical cell structure is illustrated in fig1 a wherein layered structure of a cathode , an anode and a separator layer is cut into a regular shape and size , and then stacked to form a full cell 10 . in the present invention , the full cell 10 of such a structure is treated as a unit cell which constitutes a battery . for example , in a lithium rechargeable cell , the main component of the cathodic material 14 is lithium intercalation materials such as lithium manganese oxide , lithium cobalt oxide , lithium nickel oxide or a complex oxide formed from a combination of aforesaid oxides , said cathodic material bonded to the cathode current collector 12 , that is , a foil prepared from aluminum , nickel , or a combination thereof to form a cathode 8 . also the main component of the anodic material 13 is lithium metal or lithium alloy , and lithium intercalation materials such as carbon , petroleum coke , activated carbon , graphite or other carbons , said anode material 13 bonded to anode current collector 11 , that is a foil prepared from copper , gold , nickel , copper alloy or a combination thereof to form an anode 7 . the separator layer 15 includes a micro - porous polyethylene film , a micro - porous polypropylene film , or a multi - layer film prepared by a combination thereof , or a polymer film for solid polymer electrolyte or gel - type polymer electrolyte such as polyvinylidene fluoride , polyethylene oxide , polyacrylonitrile or polyvinylidene fluoride hexafluoropropylene copolymer . furthermore , it is very efficient to use a polymer film for polymer electrolyte including a primary micro - porous polymer layer and a secondary gelling polymer layer of polyvinylidene fluoride - chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer described in korean patent application no . 99 - 57312 . the unit structure of the full cell 10 shown in fig1 a is composed of a cathode 8 , a separator layer 15 , and an anode 7 sequentially . the separator layer 15 is naturally located at the center of the cell . a plurality of theses unit cells can be stacked as shown in fig1 b to prepare a battery with practical capacity . the stacked cell 16 shown in fig1 b has only two unit cells stacked as ( 10 )/( 10 ). but , as many cells as desired can be stacked . the number of unit cells to be stacked is designed and determined according to the desired capacity of the battery . in a stacked cell 16 structure , the electrodes inevitably overlap between the unit cells . if many units of cells are stacked , the number of overlapping electrodes will also increase . as a result , the space utilization will decrease . coating and using only a single side of the current collector during the preparation of the electrodes cause such a problem . the present invention provides a way to make more efficient use of the space when multiple unit cells are overlapped , that is , it seeks to avoid overlapping current collector plate by using the structure coated with identical active material on the both sides of the current collector . if a full cell is prepared using an electrode coated with electrode materials on both sides , a new unit cell having such a structure as the full cell 17 of fig2 a comes to existence . a stacked cell 18 as in fig2 b is prepared by stacking two full cells 17 as a unit cell and inserting a polymer separator layer such as aforesaid separator layer 15 or a separator film 19 such as a polymer film for polymer electrolyte . such a structure becomes a very efficient structure because the outer active coating material not used within a unit cell is shared with opposite electrode active coating material of another adjacent unit cell , forming another new full cell . this structure becomes more effective as more unit cells are stacked . the electrode materials of the outermost anodic material 13 and cathodic material 14 of the stacked cell 18 , however , are not shared or used because the current collectors are used as foils . the proportion taken up by the unused portions decreases as the stacks increase . because the number of stacks is large considering the thickness of the unit cell and the thickness of the battery that is practically used , such a cell structure is sufficiently effective . a triple cell 20 of fig3 shows the most effective structure considering all the above factors while having the full cell as a basic unit cell . this shows the minimum number of stacked unit cells . by adopting a full cell 17 ′ structure one of whose electrode is coated on both sides and the other electrode coated on a single side , while having a stacked cell 17 placed in the center , a new stacked cell 20 has a structure of 17 ′/ 17 / 17 ′. thus , the unused portion of the outer active electrode material appearing in the stacked cell 18 is left as the foils . to achieve capacity for a practical use , a plurality of layers will be stacked as ( 17 ′)/( 17 )/( 17 ) . . . ( 17 )/( 17 ′), and as the stacks increase , this will not be much different in terms of space utilization efficiency from the stacked cell 18 which has a structure of ( 17 )/( 17 )/( 17 ) . . . ( 17 )/( 17 ). the stacked cell 20 structure , however , may be very effective for a thin layer card typed battery . the overlapping middle electrode plate of the stacked cell 16 structure shown in fig1 b reduces the efficiency of the cell as discussed above . therefore , the efficient structure unifying the overlapping electrodes between the cells itself can be treated as a new unit cell . the cell 21 shown in fig4 a shows such a new unit cell which is a bicell structure having a polarity at the middle and an opposite polarity at both sides . a cell having high space utilization can be made by stacking such bicell units as ( 21 )/( 21 ) structure shown in the stacked bicell 22 of fig4 b . alternatively , more layers of such units can be stacked to form a battery . in this embodiment , however , overlapping electrodes between the bicells also appear as in the case of the stacking cell 16 of fig1 b where full cells 10 of fig1 a were stacked . the details are same as ones shown in a stacking cell 16 structure , and the cause also lies in the structural problem , that is , the anode is coated on both sides but the cathode is coated on a single side as can be seen in the bicell 21 of fig4 a . though the overlapping of the stacked cell 22 of fig4 b is less frequent compared to the stacked cell 16 of fig1 b , the space utilization is nevertheless reduced . the present invention provides a way to use the cell structure in a more space - efficient manner compared to the case where a bicell is used as a unit cell to be multiply stacked . that is , the present invention provides a method of avoiding the overlapping of the current collectors by using the current collector coated with identical active material coated on the opposite side . to such an end , two types of bicells 23 , 24 are defined , which use electrodes with both sides coated as shown in fig5 a and 5 b . the bicell 23 in fig5 a places the anode at the center and the cathodes at the outer sides whereas the bicell 24 of fig5 b places the cathode at the center and the anodes at the outer sides . when the bicells are stacked as in ( 23 )/( 24 ) structure as in stacked cell of fig6 and aforementioned polymer separator layer such as separator layer 15 or separator film 19 such as polymer film for polymer electrolyte are inserted between the bicells , the outer active coating material not used within a bicell is naturally shared with an opposite polarity of another type of adjacent bicell , forming a new full cell which is a very efficient structure . such cell can also be stacked into a multiple layer . in this case , if the separator films 19 are interposed between the cells and the bicells are alternately stacked as in ( 23 )/( 24 )/( 23 )/( 24 )/ . . . ( 23 )/( 24 )/( 23 ), the polarity of the battery is naturally formed without discrepancy . the outermost - stacked bicell of the battery can be either bicell 23 or bicell 24 , the only difference being whether the unused electrode material is an anode or a cathode . the proportion of such unused electrodes decreases as the number of stacks increases and it has little influence for electrode with a practical thickness . [ 0040 ] fig7 shows a stacked cell 26 where the bicell is a basic unit and all the above factors are considered to make an efficient structure . in this drawing , only three stacked bicells are shown . when the primes (′) denote structures where only one out of two outer electrodes of the bicell is left as the foil , there is no portion of active electrode material that is not used when the bicells are stacked to a form of ( 24 ′)/( 23 )/( 24 ′) as shown in stacked cell 26 of fig7 . variations in structure such as ( 23 ′)/( 24 )/( 23 ′), along with other combinations are also possible . as explained above , when the bicells are stacked in multiple layers as ( 24 ′)/( 23 )/( 24 )/( 23 ) . . . /( 24 )/( 23 )/( 24 ′), there will be less difference in space utilization efficiency compared to ( 24 )/( 23 )/( 24 )/( 23 ) . . . /( 24 )/( 23 )/( 24 ) shown in the stacked cell 25 of fig6 as layers increase . in a thin layer card typed battery , however , the structure of stacked cell 26 of fig7 is effective . the battery structure provided in the present invention is very effective for a prismatic battery . generally , liquid electrolyte is injected during packaging . for such a purpose , aluminum prismatic can or an aluminum - laminated film can be used as a container . unlike a jelly roll of a lithium ion battery , the constituents of the battery according to the present invention have a form coinciding with the form of the quadrilateral container so that there will be no unused space within the container . therefore , the energy density of the battery can be greatly increased to implement a highly integrated battery having maximized space efficiency of active materials . the electrochemical element of the present invention can be applied to the various fields such as supercapacitors , ultracapacitors , primary batteries , secondary batteries , fuel cells , sensors , electrolysis devices , electrochemical reactors , and etc , besides lithium secondary batteries . the present invention will be explained in detail with reference to the examples . these examples , however , should not in any sense be interpreted as limiting the scope of the present invention . licoo 2 : carbon black : pvdf , of which the weight ratio was 95 : 2 . 5 : 2 . 5 , was dispersed in nmp in order to prepare slurry , and then the slurry was coated on an aluminum foil . after sufficiently drying at 130 ° c ., the cathode was prepared by pressing . a cathode that was to be placed in the outermost side of the outermost full cell was prepared by coating the slurry on a single side of aluminum foils . that is , the cathode has a cathodic material coated on a single side of the aluminum cathode current collector . a cathode of the full cell that was to be placed in the inner side was prepared by coating the slurry on both sides of aluminum foil . in this case , the cathode has a cathodic material coated on both sides of the aluminum cathode current collector . the thickness of the single - side coated cathode was 105 μm and the thickness of the both - side coated cathode was 140 μm . graphite : acetylene black : pvdf , of which the weight ratio was 93 : 1 : 6 , was dispersed in nmp in order to prepare slurry , and then the slurry was coated on a copper foil . after sufficiently drying at 130 ° c ., the anode was prepared by pressing . an anode that was to be placed in the outermost sides of the outermost full cell was prepared by coating the slurry on a single side of copper foils . that is , the anode has an anodic material coated on a single side of the copper anode current collector . an anode of the full cell that was to be placed in the inner side was prepared by coating the slurry on both sides of copper anode current collector . in this case , the anode has an anodic material coated on both sides of the copper anode current collector . the thickness of the single - side coated anode was 100 μm and the thickness of the both - side coated anode was 135 μm . a multi - layer polymer film was prepared wherein polypropylene film having a microporous structure and a thickness of 16 μm was a first polymer separator layer and polyvinylidene fluoride - chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer 32008 ( solvay ) was a secondary gelling polymer . 6 g of the 32008 was added to 194 g of acetone and stirred at 50 ° c . after 1 hour , the completely dissolved transparent 32008 solution was coated on the first polymer separator layer of polypropylene by a dip coating process . the thickness of coated 32008 was 1 μm and the thickness of the final multi - layered polymer film was 18 μm .
