ANODE ACTIVE MATERIAL AND SECONDARY BATTERY COMPRISING THE SAME 5 The present invention relates to an anode active material and a secondary battery comprising the same. More specifically, the present invention relates to an anode active material for secondary batteries, capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions, comprising: a core comprising a crystalline carbon-based material; and a composite coating layer comprising one or more materials selected from the group 10 consisting of low crystalline carbon and amorphous carbon, and a metal and/or a nonmetal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions, wherein the composite coating layer comprises: a matrix comprising one component selected from one or more materials selected from the group consisting of low crystalline carbon and amorphous carbon, and a metal and/or a non-metal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions; 15 and a filler comprising the other component, incorporated in the matrix. ' Technological development and increased demand for mobile equipment have led to rapid increase in the demand for secondary batteries as energy sources. Among these secondary batteries, lithium secondary batteries having high energy density and voltage, long cycle span and low self-discharge are commercially available and widely 5 used. In addition, increased interest in environmental issues has brought about a great deal of research associated with electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles as alternatives to vehicles using fossil fuels such as gasoline vehicles and diesel vehicles which are main causes of air pollution. These electric 10 vehicles generally use nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) secondary batteries as power sources. However, a great deal of study associated with use of lithium secondary batteries with high energy density, discharge voltage and power stability is currently underway and some are commercially available. A lithium secondary battery has a structure in which a non-aqueous electrolyte 15 comprising a lithium salt is impregnated into an electrode assembly comprising a cathode and an anode, each comprising an active material coated on a current collector, and a porous separator interposed therebetween. Lithium cobalt oxide, lithium manganese oxide, lithium nickel oxide, lithium composite oxide and the like are generally used as cathode active materials of lithium secondary batteries and carbon-based materials are generally used as anode active materials thereof and use of silicon compounds, sulfur compounds and the like is also considered. However, lithium secondary batteries have various problems, in particular, 5 problems associated with fabrication and driving properties of an anode. First, regarding fabrication of an anode, a carbon-based material used as an anode active material is highly hydrophobic and thus has problems of low miscibility with a hydrophilic solvent in the process of preparing a slurry for electrode fabrication and low dispersion uniformity of solid components. In addition, this hydrophobicity 10 of the anode active material complicates impregnation of highly polar electrolytes in the battery fabrication process. The electrolyte impregnation process is a kind of bottleneck in the battery fabrication process, thus greatly decreasing productivity. In order to solve these problems, addition of surfactant as an additive to an anode, an electrolyte or the like is suggested. However, disadvantageously, the 15 surfactant may have side effects on driving properties of batteries. Meanwhile, regarding driving properties of anode, disadvantageously, the carbon-based anode active material induces initial irreversible reaction, since a solid electrolyte interface (SEI) layer is formed on the surface of the carbon-based anode active material during an initial chargeldischarge process (activation process), and Ilr battery capacity is reduced due to exhaustion of the electrolyte caused by removal (breakage) and regeneration of the SEI layer during a continuous chargeldischarge process. In order to solve these problems, various methods such as formation of an SEI 5 layer through stronger bonding, or formation of an oxide layer on the surface of the anode active material have been attempted. These methods have properties unsuitable for commercialization such as deterioration in electric conductivity caused by the oxide layer and deterioration in productivity caused by additional processes. Also, there still exists a problem in that growth of dendrite lithium on the surface of the anode active 10 material may still cause short-circuit. Accordingly, there is an increasing need for secondary batteries capable of solving these problems. 15 Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above and other technical problems that have yet to be resolved. As a result of a variety of extensive and intensive studies and experiments to solve the problems as described above, the present inventors discovered that, when an -4- * anode active material is produced by forming a composite coating layer on a crystalline carbon-based core, various problems associated with anode fabrication process and battery driving properties can be simultaneously solved. The present invention has been completed, based on this discovery. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, provided is an anode active material for secondary batteries, capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions, comprising: a core comprising a crystalline carbon-based material; and a composite coating layer comprising one or more materials selected from the group consisting of 10 low crystalline carbon and amorphous carbon, and a metal and/or a non-metal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions, wherein the composite coating layer comprises: a matrix comprising one component selected from one or more materials selected from the group consisting of low crystalline carbon and amorphous carbon, and a metal and/or a non-metal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions; and a filler 15 comprising the other component, incorporated in the matrix. As such, the anode active material having a structure in which the core comprising a crystalline carbon-based material is coated with the composite coating layer having a matridfiller structure comprising one or more materials selected from the group consisting'of low crystalline carbon and amorphous carbon, and a metal and/or a -5- * non-metal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions can solve the problems in the related art, based on specific active material structure and components. First, the surface of the metal and/or non-metal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions comprised as a matrix or filler component iin the composite coating 5 layer is at least partially exposed on the surface of the anode active material and is oxidized, thus becoming more hydrophilic. Accordingly, the metal and/or non-metal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions exhibits high miscibility with a hydrophilic solvent in a slurry for fabrication of an anode according to the type of materials used, thus improving dispensability in solid components in the slurry. 10 Accordingly, when an anode is fabricated by applying this slurry to a current collector, distribution uniformity between components such as binder and the anode active material can be improved and superior electrode properties can thus be obtained. The improvement in uniformity of the metal and/or non-metal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions can minimize a decrease in bonding strength 15 between the slurry and the partial current collector which occurs on the non-uniform electrode. The dmetal and/or non-metal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions improves affinity between the active material layer and the surface of the current collector, bonding strength between the active material layer and the current collector and thereby solves a problem of increase in internal resistance caused by separation of 20 the active material layer fiom the current collector. -6- * Similarly, the metal andor non-metal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions comprised in the composite coating layer imparts relatively high hydrophilicity to at least a part of the anode active material, thereby greatly reducing impregnation time of the highly polar electrolyte in the electrode fabrication process 5 and considerably improving battery productivity. Second, the metal andor non-metal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions comprised as a matrix or filler component in the composite coating layer minimizes deterioration in electrical conductivity which may be induced by presence of material incapable of intercalating and deintercalating ions. 10 Also, in a case of a lithium secondary battery, growth of lithium dendrites may occur, since the crystalline carbon-based material serving as a core has a similar electric potential to lithium, but this growth can be inhibited by coating the metal andor nonmetal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions on the surface of the crystalline carbon-based material at a high oxidation-reduction level, Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail. As described above, the anode active material according to the present invention comprises: a core comprising a crystalline carbon-based material; and a a composite coating layer comprising: a matrix comprising one component (for example, amorphous carbon) selected from one or more materials selected from the group consisting of low crystalline carbon and amorphous carbon and a metal andfor a nonmetal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions; and a filler comprising the other 5 component (for example, a metal and/or a non-metal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions), incorporated in the matrix. Generally, a carbon-based material is classified into graphite having a complete layered crystal structure such as natural graphite, soft carbon having a low-crystalline layered crystal structure (graphene structure in which hexagonal honeycomb shaped 10 planes of carbon are arrayed in a layer form), and hard carbon having a structure in which the low-crystalline structures are mixed with non-crystalline parts. In a preferred embodiment, the core component of the present invention, the crystalline carbon-based material may be graphite, or a mixture of graphite and low crystalline carbon, and one of the composite coating layer components may be low- 15 crystalline carbon, amorphous carbon, or a mixture thereof. Meanwhile, the metal and/or non-metal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions, which is another compone,nt constituting the composite coating layer in the present invention, exhibits relatively high hydrophilicity and polarity to one C or more materials selected from the group consisting of low crystalline carbon and amorphous carbon and thus improves mix preparation or electrolyte impregnation. For realization of this improvement, the metal and/or non-metal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions are preferably exposed in at least a part of the 5 surface of the composite coating layer. Also, such hydrophilicity may be derived from inherent properties of the metal and/or non-metal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions, or partial oxidization of the metal and/or non-metal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions during exposure of the metal and/or non-metal to air. That is, the metal and/or non-metal 10 have a particle shape, while the surface thereof has relatively high hydrophilicity due to bonding to oxygen. This surface oxidization may occur upon exposure of the metal and/or non-metal to air in the battery fabrication process without separate treatment. Preferably, examples of the metal and/or non-metal include Si, Sn and the like. This material may be used alone or in combination thereof. 15 Si may be used as a metal or an alloy for a high-capacity lithium secondary battery anode and is not commercially available due to rapid variation in volume during chargeldischarge. However, according to the present invention, when Si is used as a composite with one or more materials selected from the group consisting of low Ub crystalline carbon and amorphous carbon for a coating layer of a graphite core, the effects described above as well as improvement in anode capacity can be achieved. Sn may be also used as a metal or alloy for a lithium secondary battery anode, but is not yet commercially available. However, similar to Si, Sn is used as a 5 composite with one or more materials selected fiom the group consisting of low crystalline carbon and amorphous carbon as the coating layer of the graphite core, the effects described above as well as improvement in anode capacity can be achieved. As described above, by using Si and/or Sn which exerts high capacity when used as the anode active material for the surface coating layer, high capacity can be 10 obtained as compared to a case in which a general carbon-based anode active material is used alone. In one embodiment, the metal and/or non-metal may be an alloy of Si and Sn. There is no particular limitation as to the type and component contents of the alloy of Si and Sn so long as the alloy is capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions. 15 In the present invention, the structure of the composite coating layer may be determined, depending on components of matrix and filler. In a first exemplary structure, a filler comprising a metal and/or a non-metal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions is incorporated in a matrix comprising I one or more materials selected from the group consisting of low crystalline carbon and I amorphous carbon. In this case, as described above, in order to obtain the effects of hydrophilicity, the filler comprising a metal andlor a non-metal capable of intercalating and 5 deintercalating ions is preferably exposed in at least a part of the surface of the composite coating layer. In a second exemplary structure, a filler comprising one or more materials selected from the group consisting of low crystalline carbon and amorphous carbon is incorporated in a matrix comprising a metal and/or a non-metal capable of intercalating 10 and deintercalating ions. In the composite coating layer, since the matrix has a structure, components of which have a continuous phase and the filler has a structure, components of which have independent phases, the content of the matrix component is not necessarily greater than the content of the filler component. 15 Accordingly, when the metal and/or the non-metal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions forms a composite as a matrix, the metal andor non-metal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions is exposed in at least a part of the surface of the composite coating layer, and the anode active material may thus have hydrophilicity, exerting the effects described above. In the composite coating layer, the content of one or more materials selected from the group consisting of low crystalline carbon and amorphous carbon, and the content of the metal andor non-metal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions are not particularly limited so long as the intended effects of the present invention 5 (described above) can be exerted. In a preferred embodiment, the content of one or more materials selected from the group consisting of low crystalline carbon and amorphous carbon may be 10 to 95% by weight, based on the total amount of the composite coating layer and the content of the metal andor non-metal capable of intercalating and deintercalating ions may be 5 to 90% by weight, based on the total 10 amount of the composite coating layer. The amount (coating amount) of the composite coating layer is preferably 0.1 to 20% by weight, based on the total amount of the anode active material. When the amount of the composite coating layer is excessively low or the thickness thereof is excessively small, effects caused by formation of the composite coating layer may not 15 be obtained and, on the other hand, when the amount of the composite coating layer is excessively high or the thickness thereof is excessively great, disadvantageously, the desired core-composite coating layer structure may not be formed and capacity may be deteriorated. The present invention also provides an anode mix comprising #he anode active 20 material. * The anode mix according to the present invention comprises 1 to 20% by weight of a binder, and optionally comprises 0 to 20% by weight of a conductive material, based on the total weight of the anode mix. Examples of the binder include polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinylidene 5 fluoride (PVdF), cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), starch, hydroxypropylcellulose, regenerated cellulose, polyvinyl pyrollidone, tetrafluoroethylene, polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymers (EPDM), sulfonated EPDM, styrene butadiene rubbers, fluoro-rubbers, various copolymers, and polymer-saponified polyvinyl alcohol. 10 Any conductive material may be used without particular limitation so long as it has suitable conductivity without causing chemical changes in the fabricated battery. Examples of conductive materials include graphite; carbon blacks such as carbon black, acetylene black, Ketjen black, channel black, furnace black, lamp black and thermal black; conductive fibers such as carbon fibers and metallic fibers; metallic powders such 15 as carbon fluoride powder, aluminum powder and nickel powder; conductive whiskers such as zinc oxide and potassium titanate; conductive metal oxides such as titanium oxide; and polyphenylene derivatives. Specific examples of commercially available conductive materials may include various acetylene black products (available from Chevron Chemical Company, Denka Singapore Private Limited and Gulf Oil * Company), Ketjen Black EC series (available from Armak Company), Vulcan XC-72 (available fiom Cabot Company) and Super P (Timcal Co.). If desired, a filler is optionally added to inhibit expansion of the anode. Any filler may be used without particular limitation so long as it does not cause adverse 5 chemical changes in the manufactured battery and is a fibrous material. Examples of the filler include olefin polymers such as polyethylene and polypropylene; and fibrous materials such as glass fibers and carbon fibers. Other component such as viscosity controller or adhesion promoter may be further optionally added singly or in combination of two or more types. 10 The viscosity controller is a component to control the viscosity of the electrode mix and thereby facilitate mixing of the electrode mix and application of the same to a current collector, and is present in an amount of 30% by weight or less, based on the total weight of the anode mix. Examples of the viscosity controller include, but are not limited to, carboxymethyl cellulose and polyvinylidene fluoride. In some cases, the 15 afore-mentioned solvent may also act as the viscosity controller. The adhesion promoter is an auxiliary ingredient to improve adhesion of an active material to a current collector, is present in an amount of 10% by weight, based on the binder and examples thereof include oxalic acid, adipic acid, formic acid, acrylic acid derivatives and itaconic acid derivatives. The present invention also provides an anode for secondary batteries in which the anode mix is applied to a current collector. For example, the anode is produced by adding an anode material containing an anode active material, a binder or the like to a solvent such as NMP to prepare a slurry, 5 and applying the slurry to an anode current collector, followed by drying and pressing. The anode current collector is generally fabricated to have a thickness of 3 to 500 v. Any anode current collector may be used without particular limitation so long as it has suitable conductivity without causing adverse chemical changes in the fabricated battery. Examples of the anode current collector include copper, stainless 10 steel, aluminum, nickel, titanium, sintered carbon, and copper or stainless steel surface-treated with carbon, nickel, titanium or silver, and aluminum-cadmium alloys. The anode current collector includes fine irregularities on the surface thereof so as to enhance adhesion of anode active materials. In addition, the current collectors may be used in various forms including films, sheets, foils, nets, porous structures, foams and 15 non-woven fabrics. The present invention also provides a secondary battery comprising the anode and the battery is preferably a lithium secondary battery. * The lithium secondary battery has a structure in which a lithium salt-containing non-aqueous electrolyte is impregnated into an electrode assembly comprising a separator interposed between the cathode and the anode. For example, the cathode is prepared by applying a cathode active material to a 5 cathode current collector, followed by drying and pressing and further optionally comprise other components such as binder or conductive material described above associated with the configuration of the anode. The cathode current collector is generally manufactured to have a thickness of 3 to 500 w. Any cathode current collector may be used without particular limitation 10 so long as it has suitable conductivity without causing adverse chemical changes in the fabricated battery. Examples of the cathode current collector include stainless steel, aluminum, nickel, titanium, sintered carbon, and aluminum or stainless steel surfacetreated with carbon, nickel, titanium or silver. Similar to the anode current collector, the cathode current collectors include fine irregularities on the surface thereof so as to 15 enhance adhesion to the cathode active material. In addition, the cathode current collector may be used in various forms including films, sheets, foils, nets, porous structures, foams and non-woven fabrics. The cathode active material is a lithium transition metal oxide comprising two or more transition metals as a' substance that causes electrochemical reaction, and ' examples thereof include, but are not limited to, layered compounds such as lithium cobalt oxide (LiCoO2) or lithium nickel oxide (LiNi02) substituted by one or more transition metals; lithium manganese oxide substituted by one or more transition metals; lithium nickel oxide represented by the formula of LiNil-yMy02(i n which M = Co, Mn, 5 Al, Cu, Fe, Mg, B, Cr, Zn or Ga, the lithium nickel oxide including one or more elements among the elements, 0.015y50.7); lithium nickel cobalt manganese composite oxides represented by Lil+zNib&C~l -(b+c+d)MdO(2-e)sAuec h as Lil+zNil13C~~,3Mn1~302 or Lil+zNio,4Mno.4Coo.20(i2n which -0.55zF0.5, 0.1310.8, 0.15~50.8, OidF0.2, OIe50.2, b+c+d I An anode active material was produced and a coin-type half cell was fabricated in the same manner as Example 1, except that only pitch was used, without using silicon. An anode active material was produced and a coin-type half cell was fabricated in the same manner as Example 1, except that pitch and silicon were mixed at a weight ratio of 1 : 9. The carbon yield of the pitch was 50% and the content of the silicon was higher than 90% based on the total amount of carbon and silicon. Electrolyte impregnation properties of the electrodes fabricated in accordance 5 with Examples 1 and 2, and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 were evaluated. The electrode was roll-pressed to have a porosity of about 23% and a time for which 1 micrometer of a 1M LiPF6 electrolyte solution in a carbonate solvent dropped on the surface of the electrode was completely permeated into the surface was measured. Results are shown in Table 1 below. As can be seen from Table 1, the electrodes using an anode active material coated with a carbonlmetal composite according to Examples 1 and 2 of the present invention exhibited considerably short electrolyte impregnation times, as compared to Comparative Example 1 of electrode using an anode active material coated with only 15 carbon. The reason for this is that the metal surface of the anode active material surface was partially oxidized and became hydrophilic, enabling the highly polar electrolyte to be rapidly permeated into particles. -23- Comp.

Ex. 1 142 Impregnation time (sec) Ex. 1 92 Ex. 2 95 Chargeldischarge properties were evaluated using the coin-type half cells fabricated in accordance with Examples 1 and 2, and Comparative Examples 1 and 2. Specifically, during charge, the cells were charged in a CC mode at a current density of 5 0.1C to 5 mV and then maintained in a CV mode at 5 mV, charging was completed when a current density reached 0.01C. During discharge, the cells were discharged in a CC mode at a current density of 0.1 C to 1.5V. As a result, chargeldischarge capacity and efficiency of a first cycle were obtained. Then, chargeldischarge was repeated 50 times under the same conditions as above, except that the current density was changed 10 to 0.5C. The results are shown in Table 2 below.

Ex. 1 385.1 356.6 92.6 78 Comp. Ex. 2 675.0 591.3 87.6 48 As can be seen from Table 2 above, anode active materials coated with a carbonlmetal composite according to Examples 1 and 2 of the present invention exhibited high discharge capacity and high capacity maintenance after 50 chargeldischarge cycles, as compared to Comparative Example 1 (anode active material 5 coated only with carbon). The reason for this is that a metal material is uniformly distributed as a composite with carbon on the graphite surface and can realize high theoretical discharge capacity. Also, a composite in which the metal and carbon are homogeneously mixed was coated on the graphite surface and electric conductivity can thus be maintained in spite of variation in volume caused by chargeldischarge. Also, a 10 part of the metal surface is oxidized and is thus converted into a hydrophilic material performing the same function as SEI, which forms a strong bond with a core material via carbon and thereby inhibits removal of the SEI layer in the repeated chargeldischarge process. Also, a material having high chargeldischarge voltage is coated, thereby preventing precipitation of lithium and improving ion conductivity. 15 Also, when the content of silicon is considerably higher than that of carbon as in Comparative Example 2, electrical conductivity was decreased, resistance of the electrode was considerably increased, side effects of electrolyte were increased and capacity maintenance (%) after 50 chargeldischarge cycles was considerably low due to great variation in volume of silicon during chargeldischarge. As apparent from the fore-going, the anode active material according to the present invention is effective in greatly improving a battery fabrication process, minimizing deterioration in electric conductivity and considerably inhibiting 5 deterioration battery lifespan, through a specific core/composite coating layer structure and can minimize performance and safety problems associated with lithium precipitation through presence of material having a high oxidation-reduction level on the surface of the active material.
