Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A negative electrode for a secondary battery includes a current collector and a negative electrode active material layer provided on at least one surface of the current collector. The negative electrode active material layer includes a first region corresponding to 50% of a total thickness of the negative electrode active material layer from a surface facing the current collector and a second region corresponding to 50% of the total thickness of the negative electrode active material layer from a surface opposite to the surface facing the current collector. The negative electrode active material layer includes two or more types of negative electrode active materials having D50 different from each other and satisfies the Equations 1 and 2. A secondary battery including the negative electrode is also provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery comprising: a current collector and a negative electrode active material layer provided on at least one surface of the current collector, wherein: the negative electrode active material layer comprises a first region corresponding to 50% of a total thickness of the negative electrode active material layer from a surface facing the current collector and a second region corresponding to 50% of the total thickness of the negative electrode active material layer from a surface opposite to the surface facing the current collector; a composition of a negative electrode active material in the first region and a composition of a negative electrode active material in the second region are different; and the negative electrode active material layer comprises two or more chemical types of negative electrode active materials having D50 different from each other and satisfies following Equations 1 and 2: - 3 ≤ ( ❘ "\[LeftBracketingBar]" D ⁢ 50 , total - D ⁢ 50 , 1 ⁢ st ❘ "\[RightBracketingBar]" ÷ D ⁢ 50 , total × 100 ) ≤ 3 ( 1 ) - 3 ≤ ( ❘ "\[LeftBracketingBar]" D ⁢ 50 , total - D ⁢ 50 , 2 ⁢ nd ❘ "\[RightBracketingBar]" ÷ DS ⁢ 0 , total × 100 ) ≤ 3 , ( 2 ) wherein: D50, total is D50 of the two or more chemical types of the negative electrode active materials in the negative electrode active material layer, D50,1st is D50 of the negative electrode active material in the first region, and D50,2nd is D50 of the negative electrode active material in the second region. 2 . The negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the negative electrode active material layer comprises three or more chemical types of negative electrode active materials having D50 different from each other. 3 . The negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first region or the second region comprises two or more chemical types of negative electrode active materials having D50 different from each other. 4 . The negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the first region and the second region comprise two or more chemical types of negative electrode active materials having D50 different from each other. 5 . The negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the negative electrode active material layer has a structure of two or more layers. 6 . The negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the negative electrode active material layer comprises: a first negative electrode active material layer provided on the current collector; and a second negative electrode active material layer provided on the first negative electrode active material layer. 7 . The negative electrode for a lithium secondary battery of claim 6 , wherein at least one of the first negative electrode active material layer or the second negative electrode active material layer comprises two or more chemical types of negative electrode active materials having D50 different from each other and satisfies following Equations 3 and 4: - 3 ≤ (
