Abstract

A negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery using lithium metal for the negative electrode and a method for manufacturing the same. The method includes forming a protective layer for dendrite prevention of the negative electrode. The method for manufacturing a negative electrode may be achieved by a process including coating a slurry containing fluorocarbon and/or fluorinated metal dispersed in a solvent onto a lithium metal layer and drying the slurry.

Claims (13)

1. A method for manufacturing a negative electrode for a lithium ion secondary battery, comprising the following steps:

(S 10 ) preparing a lithium metal layer;

(S 20 ) dispersing fluorocarbon and/or fluorinated metal in a solvent to prepare a slurry;

(S 30 ) coating the slurry onto the lithium metal layer; and

(S 40 ) drying the slurry so that the Li metal reacts with the slurry to form a LiF protective layer, wherein the drying of the (S 40 ) is performed in a range of between 80° C. and 120° C., and under a vacuum condition, and

wherein the fluorocarbon is a solid at room temperature, and the fluorinated metal is represented by the following [Chemical formula 1]:

MeF x   [Chemical formula 1]

where Me is at least one of Fe, Co, Mn, Ni, Cu, V, Bi and Cr, and x is between 0.1 and 10.0.

2. The method for manufacturing a negative electrode for a lithium ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the fluorocarbon is present and is a solid at room temperature, and is at least one selected from the group consisting of (CF) n , wherein 1.0≤n≤100,000, (C 2 F) n , wherein 1.0≤n≤100,000, C 60 F x , wherein 0.1≤x≤60.0 and CF x , wherein (0.1≤x≤1.0).

3. The method for manufacturing a negative electrode for a lithium ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the solvent of the (S 20 ) is at least one selected from the group consisting of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone, acetone and hexane.

4. The method for manufacturing a negative electrode for a lithium ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , further comprising:

(S 11 ) dispersing a polyfluorovinylidene-based resin in a solvent.

5. The method for manufacturing a negative electrode for a lithium ion secondary battery according to claim 4 , wherein a content ratio of the polyfluorovinylidene-based resin to an ingredient A in the slurry of the (S 20 ) is between 100 parts by weight and 300 parts by weight, wherein the ingredient A is at least one of fluorocarbon and fluorinated metal.
