Abstract

A method for manufacturing an electrode for a lithium secondary battery having reinforced safety is provided. In some embodiments, the method includes spraying a first mixture on a surface of an active material layer to form an insulating layer, wherein the insulating layer is a porous film and consists of a polymer or consists of the polymer and a first binder material, spraying a second mixture on the insulating layer to form a safety reinforcing layer, wherein the safety reinforcing layer consists of the second binder material and the inorganic oxide, and spraying a third mixture comprising microfilaments and a third binder material on the safety reinforcing layer to form an impregnation property improving layer, wherein a weight ratio of the microfilaments to the third binder material ranges from 10:90 to 30:70, and wherein the microfilaments have diameters of 0.1 to 10 μm and lengths of 50 to 500 μm.

Claims (7)

1. A method for manufacturing an electrode for a lithium secondary battery, the method comprising:

spraying a first mixture comprising a polymer, or comprising the polymer and a first binder material, on a surface of an active material layer to form an insulating layer, wherein the active material layer is disposed on a current collector, and wherein the insulating layer is a porous film and consists of the polymer or consists of the polymer and the first binder material; and

spraying a second mixture on the insulating layer to form a safety reinforcing layer, wherein the second mixture comprises a second binder material and inorganic oxide particles, wherein the inorganic oxide and the second binder material are mixed in a weight ratio of 99:1 to 80:20, and wherein the safety reinforcing layer consists of the second binder material and the inorganic oxide; and

spraying a third mixture comprising microfilaments and a third binder material on the safety reinforcing layer to form an impregnation property improving layer, wherein a weight ratio of the microfilaments to the third binder material ranges from 10:90 to 30:70, and wherein the microfilaments have diameters of 0.1 to 10 μm and lengths of 50 to 500 μm.

2. The method for manufacturing an electrode for a lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the microfilaments are polymer fibers or glass fibers.

3. The method for manufacturing an electrode for a lithium secondary battery of claim 2 , wherein the impregnation property improving layer consists of the microfilaments and the third binder material.

4. The method for manufacturing an electrode for a lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the microfilaments are glass fibers.
