Abstract

An electrode for a secondary battery includes: an electrode current collector; and an electrode mixture layer formed on at least one surface of the electrode current collector. Based on a region corresponding to 50% of a thickness of the electrode mixture layer in a direction in which the electrode mixture layer is formed from a surface of the electrode current collector, a ratio (B/A) of cohesive force (A) between an electrode active material and a binder or between adjacent binders included in a lower region, and cohesive force (B) between an electrode active material and a binder or between adjacent binders included in an upper region is less than 1.5.

Claims (10)

1. An electrode for a secondary battery, comprising:

an electrode current collector; and

an electrode mixture layer formed on at least one surface of the electrode current collector,

wherein based on a region corresponding to 50% of a thickness of the electrode mixture layer in a direction in which the electrode mixture layer is formed from a surface of the electrode current collector, a ratio (B/A) of cohesive force (A) between an electrode active material and a binder or between adjacent binders included in a lower region, and cohesive force (B) between an electrode active material and a binder or between adjacent binders included in an upper region is less than 1.5,

wherein, based on the direction in which the electrode mixture layer is formed from the surface of the electrode current collector, the lower region is a region corresponding to a thickness of 15% or less of the electrode mixture layer, excluding 0%, from the surface of the electrode current collector based on a total thickness of the electrode mixture layer,

wherein the upper region is a region corresponding to a thickness of 85 to 100% of the electrode mixture layer from the surface of the electrode current collector based on a total thickness of the electrode mixture layer, and

wherein the binder or at least one of the adjacent binders included in the electrode mixture layer comprises styrene butadiene rubber (SBR).

2. The electrode for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the electrode mixture layer further comprises a conductive material.

3. The electrode for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the electrode is a positive electrode.

4. The electrode for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the electrode is a negative electrode.
