Anode for lithium air battery and preparation method thereof

1. A method for preparing an anode for a lithium air battery, the method comprising:

(1) preparing a dispersion comprising an inorganic material-based solid electrolyte powder, an organic material-based polymer, and a liquid electrolyte;

(2) applying the dispersion onto a lithium metal;

(3) drying the lithium metal onto which the dispersion is applied to form a protective layer; and

(4) rolling the lithium metal on which the protective layer is formed,

wherein the dispersion comprises about 30 wt % to about 70 wt % of an inorganic material-based solid electrolyte powder, about 3 wt % to about 20 wt % of an organic material-based polymer, and about 10 wt % to about 60 wt % of a liquid electrolyte.
