Abstract

Provided is a metal mesh foil for a current collector of a lithium secondary battery having a hydrophobic deposition layer formed on a surface thereof, wherein the hydrophobic deposition layer is a deposition layer, in which a hydrophobic material is deposited, and has a thickness of 1 Å to 100 Å.

Claims (17)

1. An electrode for a lithium secondary battery, comprising:

a metal mesh foil,

a hydrophobic deposition layer consisting of a hydrophobic material, wherein the hydrophobic material is an organic silane-based compound, the hydrophobic deposition layer in direct physical contact with a surface the metal mesh foil, wherein the hydrophobic deposition layer has a thickness of 1 Å to 100 Å; and

an electrode active layer separated from the metal mesh foil by the thickness of the hydrophobic deposition layer, the electrode active layer comprising an electrode active material, a conductive agent, and a binder, the electrode active layer in direct physical contact with a surface of the hydrophobic deposition layer.

2. The electrode of claim 1 , wherein the organic silane-based compound is at least one selected from the group consisting of triethoxy vinylsilane, dimethyl ethoxy vinylsilane, 3-mercaptopropyl trimethoxysilane, trimethoxy fluorosilane, and trichloro(1H, 1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyl)silane.

3. The electrode of claim 1 , wherein the hydrophobic material is trichloro(1H,1H,2H,2H-perfluorooctyl)silane.

4. The electrode of claim 1 , wherein the hydrophobic deposition layer is formed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD).

5. The electrode of claim 1 , wherein the hydrophobic deposition layer has a water contact angle of 80° to 130°.

6. The electrode of claim 1 , wherein the metal mesh foil and the hydrophobic deposition layer has a resistance value of 105% to 130% compared to the metal mesh foil alone.

7. The electrode of claim 1 , wherein the metal mesh foil has a resistance value of 0.9 mΩ·cm 2 to 1.3 mΩ·cm 2 .

8. The electrode of claim 1 , wherein the electrode is a negative electrode.

9. The electrode of claim 1 , wherein the metal mesh foil is a mesh foil of copper, gold, stainless steel, aluminum, nickel, titanium, fired carbon; copper or stainless steel surface-treated with carbon, nickel, titanium, or silver; or an aluminum-cadmium alloy.

10. The electrode of claim 1 , wherein the metal mesh foil is a copper mesh foil.

11. The electrode of claim 1 , wherein the metal mesh foil has a thickness of 3 μm to 500 μm.

12. The electrode of claim 1 , wherein the electrode active material is a negative electrode active material.

13. A lithium secondary battery comprising the electrode of claim 12 .

14. The electrode of claim 1 , wherein the conductive agent is selected from the group consisting of graphite, carbon black, carbon fibers, metal fibers, carbon nanotubes, metal powder, conductive metal whiskers, and conductive metal oxide.
