Abstract
A cylindrical secondary battery includes a jelly-roll type electrode assembly having a structure in which a long sheet type positive electrode and a long sheet type negative electrode are wound with a separator interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The cylindrical secondary battery also includes a cylindrical battery case configured to receive the jelly-roll type electrode assembly, and a piezoelectric element configured to generate electrical energy due to the volumetric expansion of the jelly-roll type electrode assembly caused by charging and discharging the jelly-roll type electrode assembly.
