Abstract

Disclosed is an electrode comprising a first organic/inorganic composite porous coating layer formed on its surface, wherein the first coating layer includes inorganic particles and a binder polymer for interconnecting and fixing the inorganic particles, and has micropores formed by interstitial volumes among the inorganic particles. An electrochemical device including the same electrode is also disclosed. Further, disclosed is a method for manufacturing an electrode having an organic/inorganic composite porous coating layer on the surface thereof, comprising the steps of: (a) coating a current collector with slurry containing an electrode active material and drying it to provide an electrode; and (b) coating the surface of electrode obtained from step (a) with a mixture of inorganic particles with a binder polymer. A lithium secondary battery including the electrode shows improved safety and minimized degradation in battery performance.
