1. A battery module comprising:
a battery cell stack in which a plurality of battery cells are stacked; and
a heat conduction member disposed on one surface of the battery cell stack,
wherein the heat conduction member comprises a porous insulating layer and a conductive layer disposed on a surface of the porous insulating layer,
a through-hole penetrates through the porous insulating layer in a thickness direction, and
the conductive layer comprises:
a first conductive layer disposed on a surface of the porous insulating layer disposed outside of the through-hole; and
a second conductive layer disposed on an internal surface of the through-hole to be connected to the first conductive layer,
wherein each battery cell of the plurality of battery cells comprises an electrode assembly and a pouch accommodating the electrode assembly and forming an exterior of the battery cell,
wherein the pouch comprises an accommodation portion, accommodating the electrode assembly therein, and a sealing portion formed on an edge of the accommodation portion, and
wherein the sealing portion includes a first sealing portion in which an electrode lead is disposed, and a second sealing portion at least partially folded,
the battery module further comprises a heat dissipation member disposed to face the second sealing portion,
wherein the heat conduction member is disposed between the battery cell and the heat dissipation member, and attached to the accommodation portion and the second sealing portion,
wherein the battery module further comprises a first plate disposed to face one surface of the battery cell stack, and a second plate disposed to face another surface of the battery cell stack,
wherein the heat conduction member is disposed between the battery cell stack and the second plate,
wherein the heat conduction member is attached to a plurality of battery cells on a surface formed by the accommodation portion and the sealing portion,
wherein the sealing portion is disposed between the accommodation portion and the second plate, a first surface of the sealing portion faces one surface of the accommodation portion, and a second surface of the sealing portion, opposing the first surface, faces the second plate, and
wherein the heat conduction member comprises a first heat conduction member disposed on the second surface of the sealing portion, a second heat conduction member disposed on the first surface of the sealing portion, and a third heat conduction member disposed on the one surface of the accommodation portion facing the first surface of the sealing portion, and the first to third heat conduction members are compressed in a thickness direction to be disposed between the second plate and the battery cell stack.
