Abstract

Provided is a dual coating method for an electrode, which coats the electrode of a battery. The dual coating method for an electrode includes transferring the electrode, coating the transferred electrode with a first coating solution, and coating the primarily-coated electrode with a second coating solution different from the first coating solution.

Claims (20)

1. A dual coating method for an electrode, the method comprising:

transferring the electrode, wherein the electrode has a surface which is formed of a metal material;

coating the transferred electrode with a first coating solution to form a primarily-coated electrode; and then

coating only a portion of the primarily-coated electrode with a second coating solution different from the first coating solution

except for an area defining a curved surface,

wherein the area defining the curved surface is coated with only the first coating solution to prevent cracking.

2. The dual coating method of claim 1 , wherein the first coating solution has a slurry form and superior adhesion characteristics with respect to the metal material of the surface of the electrode when compared to those of the second coating solution.

3. The dual coating method of claim 1 , wherein the first coating solution has porosity less than that of the second coating solution.

4. The dual coating method of claim 1 , wherein the second coating solution is composed of an active material having a mean particle size greater than that of the first coating solution.

5. The dual coating method of claim 1 , wherein the second coating solution comprises a rubber-based binder.

6. A dual coating method for an electrode, the method comprising:

coating an electrode with a first coating solution to form a primarily-coated electrode with a first coated-region, wherein the electrode has a surface which is formed of a metal material; and

coating only a portion of the first coated-region of the primarily-coated electrode with a second coating solution different from the first coating solution except for an area defining a curved surface,

wherein the area defining the curved surface is coated with only the first coating solution.

7. The dual coating method of claim 6 , wherein the first coating solution has a slurry form and superior adhesion characteristics with respect to the metal material of the surface of the electrode when compared to those of the second coating solution.

8. The dual coating method of claim 6 , wherein the first coating solution has porosity less than that of the second coating solution.

9. The dual coating method of claim 6 , wherein the second coating solution comprises an active material having a mean particle size greater than that of the first coating solution.

10. The dual coating method of claim 6 , wherein the second coating solution comprises a rubber-based binder.

11. The dual coating method of claim 1 , wherein the area defining the curved surface is a winding core.

12. The dual coating method of claim 6 , wherein the area defining the curved surface is a winding core.
