Abstract

The present invention relates to a negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery having a double protective layer formed therein, and in particular, to a negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery having a polymer protective layer and a carbon-based protective layer formed therein, and a lithium secondary battery including the same. The lithium secondary battery including the negative electrode according to the present invention is capable of enhancing battery performance and exhibiting stable performance by forming a stable lithium fluoride (LiF) layer and thereby preventing a loss of a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer. In addition, a cycle life property is enhanced during charge and discharge by absorbing dead lithium or lithium dendrite and thereby preventing an internal short circuit of the battery.

Claims (11)

1. A negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery having a double protective layer formed therein, the negative electrode comprising:

a lithium metal layer;

a polymer protective layer formed on at least one surface of the lithium metal layer,

wherein the polymer protective layer consists of a fluorine-containing polymer; and

a carbon-based protective layer formed on the polymer protective layer,

wherein the carbon-based protective layer comprises an amorphous carbon-based material present in 50% by weight to 80% by weight based on a total weight of the carbon-based protective layer.

2. The negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the fluorine-containing polymer is at least one selected from the group consisting of a polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (PVDF-HFP), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), a tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (TFE-HFP) and combinations thereof.

3. The negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the polymer protective layer has a thickness of 0.1 μm to 50 μm.

4. The negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the carbon-based protective layer includes a carbon-based material having a particle diameter of 0.01 μm to 20 μm.

5. The negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the carbon-based protective layer has a thickness of 2 μm to 20 μm.

6. A lithium secondary battery comprising the negative electrode of claim 1 .
