A secondary battery using a vanadium oxide as a positive electrode active material is provided. The secondary battery is prevented from degradation of capacity by preventing dissolution of vanadium. The vanadium oxide includes secondary particles formed by assemblage of primary particles.

Lithium ion secondary battery

Provided is an electrode, comprising: an electrode current collector, a metal nanowire formed on a surface of the electrode current collector, and a conductive layer surrounding the outside of the metal nanowire, wherein a gap is formed between the metal nanowire and the conductive layer, so that the metal nanowire and the conductive layer are spaced apart from each other without direct contact between them.

The present disclosure relates to an anode active material-containing slurry, an anode using the slurry, and an electrochemical device comprising the anode. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a slurry comprising an anode active material; a polymer binder comprising styrene butadiene rubber and potassium polyacrylate; a conductive material; and a dispersing medium, an anode using the slurry, and an electrochemical device comprising the anode. The anode active material-containing slurry according to one aspect of the present disclosure can relieve the volume expansion of an anode active material by the intercalation and disintercalation of lithium during cycles of electrochemical devices to improve the durability of an anode active material layer, thereby enhancing the life characteristics of the electrochemical devices, and can form an anode active material layer having a high peeling force even though potassium polyacrylate with a relatively lower weight-average molecular weight is used.

Anode active material-containing slurry, anode using the slurry and electrochemical device comprising the anode

The present disclosure relates to a binder solution for an anode, comprising a thermally cross-linkable polymer binder that is cross-linked by heat, and a solvent for dissolving the thermally cross-linkable polymer binder, and exhibiting a concentration of hydrogen ions corresponding to pH 2.5 to pH 4.5; an active material slurry for an anode, comprising the binder solution; an anode using the slurry; and an electrochemical device comprising the anode. The binder solution for an anode according to one aspect of the present disclosure can relieve the volume expansion of an anode active material by the intercalation and disintercalation of lithium during cycles of electrochemical devices to improve the durability of an anode active material layer, thereby enhancing the life characteristics of the electrochemical devices, and also can provide good dispersibility to the active material slurry for an anode, thereby improving the coating stability of an anode active material layer.
