Abstract

A negative electrode and a secondary battery including the negative electrode are provided. A plurality of projections and depressions are provided in a negative electrode active material layer and a negative electrode current collector. The plurality of projections and depressions in the negative electrode active material layer absorb expansion of the negative electrode active material and suppress deformation thereof. The plurality of projections and depressions in the negative electrode current collector suppress deformation of the negative electrode current collector caused by expansion and contraction of the negative electrode active material.

First claim

an electrolyte solution; and
a separator,
wherein the negative electrode includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material layer,
wherein the negative electrode active material layer comprises SiO y (2>y>0),
wherein the negative electrode active material layer includes a first projection, a first depression, a second projection and a second depression,
wherein the negative electrode current collector includes a third projection, a third depression, a fourth projection and a fourth depression,
wherein the first projection, the first depression, the third projection and the third depression overlap with each other, and
wherein the second projection, the second depression, the fourth projection and the fourth depression overlap with each other.

2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first projection, the first depression, the second projection, the second depression, the third projection, the third depression, the fourth projection and the fourth depression are formed using a cutter knife.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the pressure is applied at 10 MPa.

4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the negative electrode current collector is exposed at a bottom of a depression of the first projection and the first depression.

5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first depression, the second depression, the third depression, and the fourth depression has a linear shape.

6. The method according to claim I. wherein the SiO y comprises an amorphous silicon.

7. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising a graphene on a surface of the negative electrode active material layer.
