A separator for secondary batteries, including: a separator substrate having at least one surface, wherein the separator substrate includes a polyolefin-based polymer resin having a porous structure and a coating layer is applied to one surface or opposite surfaces of a separator substrate made of a polyolefin-based polymer resin having a porous structure, wherein the coating layer includes a thickener, a filler, a particle-type binder, and a dissolution-type binder, wherein the thickener comprises carboxymethyl cellulose, and wherein an amount of the particle-type binder is greater than an amount of the dissolution-type binder.

Separator including separator substrate with coating layer including carboxymethyl cellulose, particle-type binder, and dissolution-type binder

A functional binder and a separator including the functional binder, in which the separator includes a porous polyolefin substrate and an organic-inorganic hybrid porous coating layer formed on at least one surface of the substrate and configured to include a mixture of inorganic particles and a binder compound, thus increasing binder-inorganic material adhesion and substrate-binder adhesion while preventing internal shorting from occurring by performing self-healing of damage to the separator, enhancing the adhesion of the separator to a cathode and an anode, and withstanding the dissolution of a transition metal of a cathode material. The binder contains 10 wt % or more of a hydroxyl group per molecule thereof.
