What is claimed is: 1. A negative electrode comprising: a current collector; a negative electrode active material layer disposed on at least one surface of the current collector, comprising a silicon-based active material and a conductive material, and containing no binder polymer; and a coating layer disposed on a surface of the negative electrode active material layer and at least a part of inside of pores of the negative electrode active material layer, and containing a coating layer polymer forming a chemical bond with silicon (Si) of the silicon-based active material, wherein a content of the coating layer polymer is 0.3-2 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the negative electrode active material layer, and the coating layer polymer comprises a mixture of polyacrylic acid with polyvinyl alcohol. 2. The negative electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the content of the coating layer polymer is 0.5-1.5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the negative electrode active material layer. 3. The negative electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the coating layer polymer comprises polyacrylic acid and polyvinyl alcohol at a weight ratio of 9:1-1:9. 4. The negative electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the negative electrode active material layer consists essentially of the silicon-based active material and the conductive material. 5. A method for manufacturing a negative electrode, comprising: forming a negative electrode active material layer comprising a silicon-based active material and a conductive material and containing no binder polymer onto at least one surface of a current collector; coating a composition for a coating layer comprising a coating layer polymer and a solvent on a surface of the negative electrode active material layer and at least a part of inside of pores of the negative electrode active material layer; and drying the coated composition for a coating layer at 140-190° C. to form a coating layer in which the coating layer polymer forms a chemical bond with silicon (Si) of the silicon-based active material, wherein a content of the coating layer polymer is 0.3-2 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the negative electrode active material layer, and the coating layer polymer comprises a mixture of polyacrylic acid with polyvinyl alcohol. 6. The method for manufacturing a negative electrode according to claim 5 , wherein the content of the coating layer polymer is 0.5-1.5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the negative electrode active material layer. 7. The method for manufacturing a negative electrode according to claim 5 , wherein the negative electrode active material layer consists essentially of the silicon-based active material and the conductive material. 8. The method for manufacturing a negative electrode according to claim 5 , wherein the coating is carried out through dip coating, spray coating, die coating or a combination of at least two thereof. 9. A lithium secondary battery comprising the negative electrode according to claim 1 .
