Abstract

The present invention relates to a separator for a secondary battery and a lithium secondary battery comprising the same, wherein the separator comprises a porous substrate and a heat-resistant porous layer positioned on at least one surface of the porous substrate, the heat-resistant porous layer comprising a first binder, a second binder, and a filler, the first binder comprising a copolymer having: a first structural unit derived from a first fluorine monomer; a second structural unit derived from a second fluorine monomer; and a third structural unit derived from a monomer comprising at least one functional group selected from a hydroxyl group, a carboxyl group, an ester group, an acid anhydride group, and a derivative thereof, the second binder comprising at least one of a vinylidene fluoride homopolymer and a vinylidene fluoride copolymer.

Claims (22)

1. A separator for a secondary battery, comprising

a porous substrate and

a heat-resistant porous layer positioned on at least one surface of the porous substrate,

wherein the heat-resistant porous layer includes

a first binder including a copolymer consisting of a first structural unit derived from vinylidene fluoride; a second structural unit derived from hexafluoropropylene; and a third structural unit derived from (meth)acrylic acid or a derivative thereof, (meth)acryloyloxy acetic acid or a derivative thereof, (meth)acryloyloxy alkyl acid or a derivative thereof, itaconic acid or a derivative thereof, or a combination thereof, and

a second binder including at least one of a vinylidene fluoride homopolymer and a copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene.

2. The separator for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the first binder includes 4 to 10 wt % of the second structural unit and 1 to 7 wt % of the third structural unit.

3. The separator for a secondary battery of claim 2 , wherein the first binder includes 5 to 7 wt % of the second structural unit and 1.5 to 5 wt % of the third structural unit.

4. The separator for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the first binder includes the second structural unit and the third structural unit in a weight ratio of 1:1 to 4:1.

5. The separator for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the second binder includes the copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene, and

the copolymer includes 1 to 10 mol % of the hexafluoropropylene-derived structural unit.

6. The separator for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the second binder includes the copolymer of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene, and

the copolymer includes 1 to 7 mol % of the hexafluoropropylene-derived structural unit 1 to 7 mol %.

7. The separator for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the first binder and the second binder are included in a weight ratio of 1:9 to 9:1.

8. The separator for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the heat-resistant porous layer includes a filler, and

the filler includes a metal oxide, a semi-metal oxide, a metal fluoride, a metal hydroxide, an acrylic compound, an imide compound, an amide compound, or a combination thereof.

9. The separator for a secondary battery of claim 8 , wherein the filler includes Al 2 O 3 , SiO 2 , TiO 2 , SnO 2 , CeO 2 , MgO, NiO, CaO, GaO, ZnO, ZrO 2 , Y 2 O 3 , SrTiO 3 , BaTiO 3 , Mg(OH) 2 , or a combination thereof.

10. The separator for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the porous substrate includes polyolefin.

11. A lithium secondary battery, comprising

a positive electrode,

a negative electrode, and

the separator of claim 1 disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode.
