Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/116799
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided are a battery module with improved safety by being capable of blocking current during a temperature increase, a battery pack comprising the battery module, and a vehicle comprising the battery pack. The battery module according to the present invention is characterized in that the battery module comprises two or more battery cells, wherein the battery cells are pouch-type secondary batteries having a structure in which an electrode assembly having one end of an electrode lead of opposite polarity connected to both ends thereof is accommodated and sealed with an electrolyte in a pouch case, wherein the other end of the electrode lead is exposed to the outside of the pouch case. The electrode lead and a bus bar are connected to electrically connect a first battery cell and a second battery cell among the battery cells. The bus bar is made of a metal layer and a material layer, wherein the material layer can operate with resistance when the temperature rises but is normally conductive. The material layer includes a gas-generating material that decomposes at a certain temperature or higher to increase resistance by generating gas.
