Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A negative electrode including: a current collector; a first negative electrode active material layer positioned on at least one surface of the current collector for a negative electrode and containing a first carbonaceous active material; and a second negative electrode active material layer positioned on a surface of the first negative electrode active material layer and containing a silicon-based active material and carbon nanotubes. A lithium secondary battery including the negative electrode is also disclosed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A negative electrode comprising: a current collector; a first negative electrode active material layer positioned on at least one surface of the current collector, wherein the first negative electrode active material layer comprises a first carbonaceous active material; and a second negative electrode active material layer positioned on a surface of the first negative electrode active material layer, wherein the second negative electrode active material layer comprises a silicon-based active material and carbon nanotubes. 2 . The negative electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the second negative electrode active material layer further comprises a second carbonaceous active material. 3 . The negative electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon nanotubes are present in an amount of 0.1 wt % to 2 wt % based on a total weight of the first and second negative electrode active material layers. 4 . The negative electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon nanotubes are present in an amount of 1 part to 20 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the silicon-based active material. 5 . The negative electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon nanotubes have an average diameter of 10 nm to 120 nm and an average length of 0.5 μm to 20 μm. 6 . The negative electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon nanotubes have a specific surface area of 100 m 2 /g to 3,000 m 2 /g. 7 . The negative electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the silicon-based active material is present in an amount of 1 wt % to 30 wt % based on a total weight of the first and second negative electrode active material layers. 8 . The negative electrode according to claim 1 , wherein the first negative electrode active material layer and the second negative electrode active material layer have a thickness ratio of 90:10 to 10:90. 9 . A lithium secondary battery comprising the negative electrode as defined in claim 1 .
