<p>A jelly-roll type electrode assembly is disclosed. The jelly-roll type electrode assembly includes an anode, a cathode, and separators interposed between the anode and the cathode and having a greater length than width. Each of the separators is longer than the anode and the cathode. Each of the separators has a porous substrate and porous coating layers formed on both surfaces of the porous substrate. The porous coating layers include a mixture of inorganic particles and a binder polymer. The porous coating layers are formed only in areas where the separators are in contact with the anode and the cathode. The porous coating layers enhance the heat resistance of the separators. Due to the enhanced heat resistance, the separators can prevent the performance of a battery from deteriorating. In addition, the porous coating layers can be prevented from being separated from the separators during battery assembly processing.</p> |
