Binder for secondary battery comprising a magnetic material
The present invention provides a binder for secondary battery contained in an electrode mixture, comprising a binder molecule exhibiting an adhesion to a current collector and active material particles, and a magnetic material displaying magnetism for a magnetic field applied from outside.
1. A binder for secondary battery contained in the electrode mixture, the binder comprising:
a binder molecule exhibiting an adhesion to a current collector and active material particles; and
a magnetic material displaying magnetism for a magnetic field applied from outside,
wherein the magnetic material is a cationic metal,
wherein the metal is at least one selected from the group consisting of Al, Mg, Ni, Co, Fe, Cr, V, Ti, Cu, Zn, Zr, Nb, Mo, Sr, Sb, W and Ti,
wherein the magnetic material is chemically bonded to the binder molecule,
wherein the binder molecule and the magnetic material forms a chelate bond, and
wherein the binder molecule is at least one selected from the group consisting of polyvinylidene fluoride, polyvinyl alcohol, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), starch, hydroxypropylcellulose, regenerated cellulose, polyvinylpyrrolidone, tetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EPDM), sulfonated EPDM, styrene butylene rubber, and fluorine rubber, or a copolymer thereof.
2. The binder for secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the magnetic material is contained in an amount of 0.1% to 20% by weight based on the total weight of the binder.
3. An electrode mixture for secondary battery, comprising an electrode active material, and the binder of claim 1 .
4. An electrode comprising a positive electrode active material and the binder of claim 1 .
5. A secondary battery comprising a separator, a non-aqueous electrolyte, and the electrode of claim 4 .
