- a method of manufacturing the binder film was the same as in Example 1A, except that the conductive material and binder used in Comparative Example 5 were used in the same weight ratio as Comparative Example 5 instead of the conductive material and binder used in Example 1 .
- a binder film of Comparative Example 6A including the conductive material and the binder used in Comparative Example 6 in the same weight ratio as in Comparative Example 6 was prepared.
- a method of manufacturing the binder film was the same as in Example 1A, except that the conductive material and binder used in Comparative Example 6 were used in the same weight ratio as Comparative Example 6 instead of the conductive material and binder used in Example 1 .
- a binder film of Comparative Example 7A including the conductive material and the binder used in Comparative Example 7 in the same weight ratio as in Comparative Example 7 was prepared.
- a method of manufacturing the binder film was the same as in Example 1A, except that the conductive material and binder used in Comparative Example 7 were used in the same weight ratio as in Comparative Example 7 instead of the conductive material and binder used in Example 1 .
- Electrolyte wettability (%) M/M 0 ⁇ 100
- M is the weight of the binder film taken out after being placed in the electrolyte
- M 0 is the weight of the binder film before being placed in the electrolyte.
- the binder films prepared in Examples 1A to 3A and Comparative Examples 1A to 7A were punched out in a rectangular parallelepiped shape with a horizontal length of 6.5 cm and a vertical length of 1.5 cm. After binding the punched binder film to a UTM (Universal Testing Machine), a tensile test was performed in the transverse direction, and the tensile strength (unit: MPa) measured just before fracture was defined as the tensile strength of the binder film.
- UTM Universal Testing Machine
- the tensile strength of the binder film is shown in Table 3 below.
- the binder films of Examples 1A to 3A were evaluated to have excellent electrolyte wettability and high tensile strength. This is thought to be due to the fact that the second conductive material acts as a filler in the binder having excellent electrolyte wettability to improve tensile strength. Therefore, in the case of the cathodes of Examples 1 to 3, it can be predicted that the output characteristics and the lifespan characteristics can be improved at the same time.
- Comparative Example 1A both electrolyte wettability and tensile strength were evaluated to be poor.
- the binder films of Comparative Examples 2A to 7A were evaluated as having excellent electrolyte wettability to some extent, but low tensile strength. That is, in the case of the negative electrode used in Comparative Examples 1 to 7, it can be predicted that the output characteristics are not good, and the capacity expression is not well made in the cycle charge/discharge cycle.
- the secondary battery was charged and discharged in one cycle under the conditions of charging (1.0C CC/CV charging 4.2V, 0.05C cut) and discharging (0.5C CC discharging, 3.2V cut) conditions, and the discharge capacity was measured.
- the results are shown in Table 4.
- the secondary batteries of Examples 1 to 3 in which the content of the first conductive material and the second conductive material, and the ratio of the second conductive material and the binder, were adjusted to desirable levels, compared with Comparative Examples 1 to 7, the conductivity in the negative electrode It can be seen that the network is smoothly maintained and the binder wettability and tensile strength are secured, thereby exhibiting excellent initial discharge capacity.
- the secondary batteries of Examples 1 to 3 in which the content of the first conductive material and the second conductive material, and the ratio of the second conductive material and the binder, were adjusted to desirable levels, compared with Comparative Examples 1 to 7, the conductivity in the negative electrode It can be seen that the network is smoothly maintained, the wettability and tensile strength of the binder are secured, and the capacity expression of the negative electrode and the secondary battery including the silicon-based active material is realized at an excellent level during charge and discharge cycles.
