NOVELTY - The apparatus has a vacuum chamber formed with an inner space. A lithium depositor (200) receives a lithium source and comprises an evaporation unit (210) for heating and evaporating the lithium source. An aperture of a nozzle unit (230) is formed on the evaporation unit, where the aperture is controlled by controlling aperture ratio to control deposition amount of lithium. The nozzle unit includes first open/close plates (241) and second open/close plates, where rotation axis points of the plates are connected to and installed with two gears (251, 252) that are coupled with each other.    USE - Electrode fabricating apparatus for a rechargeable battery such as low capacity rechargeable battery for small electronic devices such as mobile phones, notebook computers and camcorders, and a large-capacity rechargeable battery for use as a power source for driving a motor of a hybrid electric vehicle.    ADVANTAGE - The apparatus is provided with the nozzle unit so as to easily control deposition amount of the lithium before heating the lithium, so that lithium waste can be prevented by closing the nozzle unit. The nozzle unit comprises the open/close plates, so that aperture ratio of the nozzle unit can be controlled in a quick and easy manner such that uniform amount of the lithium can be deposited on an electrode plate. The apparatus deposits the lithium on a surface of negative active material when a lithium layer is formed additionally such that lithium ions remaining on a negative electrode are moved to a positive electrode along with the lithium transmitted from the positive electrode, so that capacity lack of a rechargeable battery can be easily prevented.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a lithium deposition device for an electrode fabrication apparatus of a rechargeable battery.
