Specification

[One]The present invention relates to a current collector for a battery comprising a metal plate having a through-hole formed thereon and a porous reinforcing material filling the through-hole, and a secondary battery including the same. [2] This application claims the benefit of priority based on Korean Patent Application No. 10-2019-0127753 on October 15, 2019, and all contents disclosed in the literature of the Korean patent application are incorporated as a part of this specification. background [3] As the price of energy sources increases due to the depletion of fossil fuels and interest in environmental pollution is increased, the demand for eco-friendly alternative energy sources is increasing. In particular, as technology development and demand for mobile devices increase, the demand for secondary batteries as an energy source is rapidly increasing. [4] As the demand for secondary batteries diversifies and increases, various types of secondary batteries are being developed. Among them, there is an attempt at a structure in which the ionic conductivity of lithium ions in the thickness direction of the current collector is increased by using a current collector having a plurality of through holes. However, the current collector in which the through-hole is formed has limitations in that mechanical strength is lowered due to the formation of the through-hole, and a shape change due to stress concentration is induced. In addition, there is a problem of inhibiting ion transfer because gas components generated in the degradation process according to the operation of the battery are gathered in the through-holes and exist in the form of bubbles. [5] Therefore, there is a need for a new type of current collector that solves these problems or a secondary battery technology including the same. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION technical challenge [6] The present invention was devised to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a current collector for a battery comprising a metal plate having a through hole and a porous reinforcing material filling the through hole, and a secondary battery including the same. means of solving the problem [7] In one example, the current collector for a battery according to the present invention, a metal plate having a plurality of through-holes in the thickness direction; and a porous reinforcing material filled in the through hole of the metal plate. [8] In a specific example, the reinforcing material includes at least one selected from the group consisting of a polymer material, a fiber, an inorganic particle, and a carbon material. [9] In another specific example, the area fraction in which the through-holes are formed is in the range of 10 to 90%. [10] In one example, in the current collector for a battery according to the present invention, the porous reinforcing material has a porosity of 10 to 90%, and a permeability of 100 to 4000 s/100 mL. [11] In one example, the porous reinforcing material has an ionic conductivity of 1x10 -10 or more at 20°C .
