Abstract

The present invention provides a separator for an electrochemical device includes a porous polymer substrate, and a porous coating layer including a first polymer binder and inorganic particles and formed on at least one surface of the porous polymer substrate, wherein the first polymer binder and the inorganic particles each have different ligands introduced thereto.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A separator for an electrochemical device, comprising:
a porous polymer substrate; and a porous coating layer including a first polymer binder and inorganic particles and formed on at least one surface of the porous polymer substrate, wherein the first polymer binder and the inorganic particles each have different ligands introduced thereto.

2 . The separator according to claim 1 , wherein the first polymer binder and the inorganic particles form a coordination bond to a single metal ion.

3 . The separator according to claim 1 , wherein the first polymer binder and the inorganic particles are each independently chemically bonded to one or more ligands selected from the group consisting of a first ligand having a single denticity and a second ligand having two or more denticities.

4 . The separator according to claim 3 , wherein the first ligand is at least one selected from the group consisting of imidazole, pyrazole, triazole, tetrazole, indazole, benzimidazole, azaindole, purine, and derivatives thereof.

5 . The separator according to claim 3 , wherein the second ligand is at least one selected from the group consisting of nitrilotriacetic acid, iminodiacetic acid, ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, 1,2-cyclohexanediaminetetraacetic acid, and derivatives thereof.

6 . The separator according to claim 5 , wherein the inorganic particles have the second ligand chemically bonded to a surface thereof.

7 . The separator according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic particles are included in 40% by weight to 80% by weight based on the total weight of the porous coating layer.

8 . The separator according to claim 1 , wherein the porous coating layer further includes a second polymer binder, and
a content of the first polymer binder is greater than or equal to a content of the second polymer binder.

9 . An electrochemical device comprising:
positive electrode; negative electrode; and a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, wherein the separator is the separator for an electrochemical device of claim 1 .

10 . The electrochemical device according to claim 9 , wherein the metal ions are generated during charging and discharging of the electrochemical device.

11 . The electrochemical device according to claim 10 , wherein the metal ions are transition metal ions derived from the positive electrode.
