Abstract

Provided are a negative electrode for a secondary battery including: a current collector; a first coating layer including a point-type conductive material and a binder, formed on the current collector; and a second coating layer including a silicon-based active material, formed on the first coating layer, and a lithium secondary battery including the same.

Claims (32)

1 . A negative electrode for a secondary battery comprising:

a current collector;

a first coating layer including a point-type conductive material and a binder, formed on the current collector; and

a second coating layer including a silicon-based active material, formed on the first coating layer.

2 . The negative electrode for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein

a ratio between an average particle diameter (D50) of the point-type conductive material and an average particle diameter (D50) of the silicon-based active material is 1:60 to 1:20.

3 . The negative electrode for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein

the average particle diameter (D50) of the point-type conductive material is 100 to 200 nm.

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

the point-type conductive material includes at least one selected from carbon black and graphite-based materials.

5 . The negative electrode for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein

the binder is carboxymethyl cellulose, a carboxymethyl cellulose derivative, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylic acid, a polyacrylic acid derivative, or a combination thereof.

6 . The negative electrode for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein

the first coating layer has a thickness of 0.05 to 2 μm.

7 . The negative electrode for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein

the average particle diameter (D50) of the silicon-based active material is 2 to 10 μm.

8 . The negative electrode for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein

the second coating layer further includes a carbon-based active material, a binder, and a conductive material.

9 . The negative electrode for a secondary battery of claim 1 , further comprising:

a third coating layer including a silicon-based active material, formed on the second coating layer.

10 . The negative electrode for a secondary battery of claim 9 , wherein

a content of the silicon-based active material in the second coating layer (wt % with respect to a total weight of the second coating layer) is higher than a content of the silicon-based active material in the third coating layer (wt % with respect to a total weight of the third coating layer).

11 . A secondary battery comprising: the negative electrode of claim 1 ; a positive electrode; a separator disposed between the negative electrode and the positive electrode; and an electrolyte solution.

12 . The secondary battery of claim 11 , wherein

the positive electrode includes:

a current collector;

a first positive electrode coating layer including a point-type conductive material and a binder, formed on the current collector; and
