Abstract

Provided is an anode for a secondary battery including: a first anode active material; and a second anode active material having relatively lower hardness than that of the first anode active material. The first anode active material and the second anode active material satisfy Relational Formula 1 0.167<R B /R A <1, and have a volume ratio of 1:0.5˜2. In Relational Formula 1, R A is an average particle size of the first anode active material, and R B is an average particle size of the second anode active material.

Claims (17)

1. An anode for a secondary battery comprising:

a first anode active material; and

a second anode active material having relatively lower hardness than that of the first anode active material,

wherein the first anode active material and the second anode active material satisfy the following Relational Formula 1, and have a volume ratio of 1:0.5˜2, and wherein the first anode active material comprises artificial graphite, and the second anode active material comprises natural graphite:

0.167< R B /R A <1  [Relational Formula 1]

wherein Relational Formula 1, R A is an average particle size of the first anode active material, and R B is an average particle size of the second anode active material.

2. The anode for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the first anode active material satisfies the following Relational Formula 2, and the second anode active material satisfies the following Relational Formula 3:

Δ R A /R A ≤0.1  [Relational Formula 2]

Δ R B /R B ≥0.3  [Relational Formula 3]

wherein Relational Formula 2 or 3, R A is an average particle size of the first anode active material, ΔR A is an average particle size variation of the first anode active material when applying a pressure of 30 MPa, R B is an average particle size of the second anode active material, and ΔR B is an average particle size variation of the second anode active material when applying a pressure of 30 MPa.

3. The anode for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the first anode active material and the second anode active material have a volume ratio of 1:0.8˜1.2.

4. The anode for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein a volumetric expansion rate of the anode for a secondary battery is 20 vol % or less.

5. The anode for a secondary battery of claim 1 , further comprising: an additive including 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of a conductive material and 0.1 to 10 parts by weight of a binder based on 100 parts by weight of the first anode active material and the second anode active material.

6. A lithium secondary battery including the anode for a secondary battery of claim 1 .

7. The anode for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the first anode active material and the second anode active material satisfy the following Relational Formula 4:
