Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to an anode active material for a lithium secondary battery, comprising a carbon material, and a coating layer formed on the surface of particles of the carbon material and having a plurality of Sn-based domains having an average diameter of 1 μm or less. The inventive anode active material having a Sn-based domains coating layer on the surface of a carbon material can surprisingly prevent stress due to volume expansion which generates by an alloy of Sn and lithium. Also, the inventive method for preparing an anode active material can easily control the thickness of the coating layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method for preparing an anode active material for a lithium secondary battery, the method comprising: disposing a main electrode and a counter electrode in an electroplating bath and filling the electroplating bath with an electroplating electrolyte; and dispersing a carbon material in the electroplating electrolyte and then applying an electric current to form a coating layer having a plurality of Sn-based domains having an average diameter of 1 μm or less on the surface of particles of the carbon material. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the electroplating electrolyte is an acid-based Ni—Sn, Sn—Zn, Sn—Co or Sn—Pb plating solution; a sulfate-based Sn plating solution; hydrochloride-based Sn plating solution; a sulfonate-based Sn, Sn—Pb or Sn—Bi plating solution; a cyanide-based Sn—Cu or Sn—Ag plating solution; or a pyrophosphate-based Sn, Sn—Cu, Sn—Pb or Sn—Zn plating solution.
