Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery, including the steps of: (i) preparing a first electrode mixture for primary coating and a second electrode mixture for secondary coating; (ii) coating the first electrode mixture onto an electrode current collector and carrying out drying; and (iii) coating the second electrode mixture onto the first electrode mixture and carrying out drying in such a manner that the drying rate of the second electrode mixture is lower than the drying rate of the first electrode mixture in step (ii).

Claims (9)

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

(i) preparing a first electrode mixture for primary coating and a second electrode mixture for secondary coating;

(ii) coating the first electrode mixture onto an electrode current collector and carrying out drying; and

(iii) coating the second electrode mixture onto the first electrode mixture and carrying out drying in such a manner that a drying rate of the second electrode mixture is lower than a drying rate of the first electrode mixture in (ii),

wherein each of the drying rates of the first electrode mixture and the second electrode mixture is within the range of 0.1-30 mg/sec, and

wherein the first electrode mixture and the second electrode mixture have the same ingredients and compositional ratio.

2. The method for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the drying rate of the second electrode mixture is lower than the drying rate of the first electrode mixture by 10-20 mg/sec.

3. An electrode for a secondary battery obtained by the method as defined in claim 1 , the electrode comprising the electrode current collector, a first electrode active material layer formed from the first electrode mixture and a second electrode active material layer formed from the second electrode mixture, wherein interfacial adhesion strength between the first electrode active material layer and the second electrode active material layer is larger than interfacial adhesion strength between the current collector and the first electrode active material layer, and the first electrode active material layer and the second electrode active material layer have a thickness ratio of 1:9-5:5.

4. The method for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the drying rate of the second electrode mixture is 30-50% of the drying rate of the first electrode mixture.
