Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure relates to an anode for a secondary battery in which Sn metal powder particles function as a conductive material in combination with a carbonaceous conductive material, and a secondary battery including the anode and having improved electroconductivity. The secondary battery including the anode has improved electroconductivity and reduced resistance, and thus can show excellent output performance.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . An anode for a secondary battery which comprises an anode current collector and a carbonaceous anode active material layer formed on at least one surface of the anode current collector, wherein Sn metal powder particles functions as a conductive material in combination with a carbonaceous conductive material. 2 . The anode for a secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the Sn metal powder particles are bound to the carbonaceous anode active material through a binder polymer. 3 . The anode for a secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the Sn metal powder particles and the carbonaceous conductive material are used at a ratio of 1:1-5:1 on the weight basis. 4 . The anode for a secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the Sn metal powder particle are present in an amount of 1-5 wt % based on 100 wt % of the anode active material. 5 . The anode for a secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the Sn metal powder particles have a particle diameter corresponding to 10% or less of the diameter of the active material particles. 6 . The anode for a secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the Sn metal has an average diameter of 0.01-1 μm. 7 . The anode for a secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the carbonaceous conductive material is carbon black primary particles having a spherical shape with an average particle diameter of 10-50 nm. 8 . The anode for a secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the carbonaceous conductive material is fibrous graphite capable of point contact with at least two active materials that are not adjacent to each other. 9 . The anode for a secondary battery according to claim 2 , wherein the binder polymer is a binder polymer used as a dispersion in water. 10 . The anode for a secondary battery according to claim 2 , wherein the binder polymer is styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR). 11 . The anode for a secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the Sn metal powder particles are derived from SnO 2 . 12 . A secondary battery comprising an anode, a cathode, a separator interposed between the anode and the cathode and an electrolyte, wherein the anode is the anode as defined in claim 1 and the electrolyte contains a lithium salt.
