Negative electrode active material including active material core particle linked to conductive material with organic linker and elastomer covering active material core particle and conductive material, and lithium secondary battery including the same

Abstract

A negative electrode active material that includes active material core particles that allow the intercalation and deintercalation of lithium ions; a conductive material disposed on a surface of each active material core particle; an organic linker that connects the active material core particles and the conductive material; and an elastomer that covers at least a part of the active material core particles and the conductive material. The conductive material includes at least one selected from the group consisting of a linear conductive material and a planar conductive material, and the organic linker is a compound that includes a hydrophobic structure and a substituent including a polar functional group.
