Abstract
Disclosed herein is a battery module configured to have a structure in which a plurality of battery cells, each of which includes an electrode assembly of a cathode/separator/anode structure mounted in an electrode assembly receiving part, is mounted in a module case in a state in which the battery cells are arranged in a lateral direction such that the electrode assembly receiving parts of the respective battery cells are adjacent to one another, wherein a plurality of cooling members is disposed between the battery cells, and each of the cooling members includes a heat dissipation fin disposed between adjacent electrode assembly receiving parts in a tight contact state and a coolant conduit configured to have a hollow structure in which a coolant flows and mounted to the heat dissipation fin along outer edges of each of the electrode assembly receiving parts.
