BACKGROUND
[5]
The demand for secondary batteries as an energy source, and is rapidly increased as the development of technology and the demand for mobile devices increases, Among such secondary battery shows a high energy density and operating potential, a long cycle life, self-discharge rate is low lithium secondary the battery is commercially available and widely used.
[6]
The lithium secondary battery is typically the positive electrode, composed of a negative electrode, a separator and an electrolyte comprising a negative electrode active material is inserted in the lithium ion comprising the positive electrode active material is made of a secondary battery is charged and discharged by a desorption (intercalation-decalation). Lithium secondary batteries are therefore high energy density (energy density), have the advantage of a large electromotive force can demonstrate the capacity has been applied to various fields.
[7]
In general, the lithium secondary battery is prepared, insert after overlapped alternately each other, a positive electrode, a negative electrode and a separator, a predetermined size and shape of the battery case made of the can (can), or a pouch (pouch) of, and finally injecting the electrolytic solution.
[8]
The secondary battery is overcharged to more than the normal charged condition or the negative electrode plate and positive electrode plate of the electrode assembly when the short circuit is a lithium salt and an organic solvent, a lithium metal side occur the decomposition of the mixed electrolyte anode plate deposited on the bipolar plate side of the battery characteristics deteriorated and the internal It can cause a short circuit. It issues a conventional lithium secondary battery according to the short of the secondary battery as described above attempts to solve using the characteristics of the separator. The separator is not only provides a passage through which lithium ions as a polymer membrane having a porous structure is located between the anode and the cathode can move actively, also serves to prevent contact of the anode and the cathode.
[9]
Recently, an attempt is made to introduce a thin separator is made for the production of a lithium secondary battery having a high energy density. The ionic conductivity of the non-aqueous liquid electrolyte is required and because it is very lower than that of the aqueous electrolyte in order to achieve high output, high energy density of the cell increasing the reaction area of the electrode reduces the distance between the plates. Therefore, by reducing the thickness of the separator to increase the concentration of the electrolyte around the separator, there has been an attempt to promote mass transfer. However, when the thickness of the separator is thinner, there is a problem in that the manufacturing process pinhole (pinhole) occurs or the separator is torn becomes more likely to occur a short circuit safety is lowered. As its resolution is getting attention unified stack (unified stack cell) cell was interposed between the ceramic layers in place of the conventional polyolefin separator, an anode and a cathode.
[10]
However, the use of a ceramic layer in place of the conventional polyolefin separator There is no problem of pinholes such as a conventional polyolefin separator, the ceramic layer also has a problem that the insulating properties and stability deteriorate when reducing its thickness in order to improve energy density a situation which must have a certain level of thickness.
[11]
Thus, a new method for solving the insulating ceramic layer and reliability deterioration problems which may occur when have a thickness of less than a certain level is required to reduce the thickness of the ceramic layer used as a separator.

[22]
[23]
The lithium secondary battery anode of the present invention, the negative electrode active material layer; And the anode active material layer, and comprising a ceramic isolation layer formed on the anode active material layer are those, wherein arithmetic mean surface roughness (Ra) 0.01 ㎛ to 0.3 ㎛. Further, the ceramic separation layer will have a thickness of 1 ㎛ to 30 ㎛.
[24]
The arithmetic mean surface roughness (Ra) of the negative electrode coating portion may be in the 0.01 to 0.3 ㎛ ㎛, may be specifically 0.05 ㎛ to 0.2 ㎛, more specifically 0.1 to 0.2 ㎛ ㎛. The arithmetic mean surface roughness (Ra) of the negative electrode active material layer if satisfied the above range, there is a ceramic separation layer on the negative electrode active material layer can be uniformly formed, and the ceramic isolation layer can maintain the insulating property in the battery when using the stable so that the battery containing the same may exhibit excellent stability. In addition, the arithmetic average surface roughness (Ra) of the negative electrode active material layer if satisfied the above range, even if the thickness of the lithium secondary battery, the ceramic separation layer that can perform the separation membrane as a function of the ceramic separation layer suitable It can maintain the mechanical strength to reliably perform the function as the separation membrane, so it is possible to thin a thickness of 1 ㎛ to 30 ㎛ than the thickness of the separation membrane made of the thickness of the ceramic separating layer in a conventional polyolefin-based resin and the like.
[25]
That is, since the lithium secondary battery anode of the present invention is adjusted so that the surface roughness (roughness) of the negative electrode active material layer may have a constant arithmetic average surface roughness (Ra) values, a ceramic separation layer uniformly on the anode active material layer It can be formed, in which the ceramic isolation layer can maintain the insulation properties stably using the cell. Thus, the battery comprising a lithium secondary battery anode of the present invention can exhibit excellent stability.
[26]
The negative electrode active material layer Average particle size (D in 7 ㎛ to 30 ㎛ comprising the lithium secondary battery anode of the present invention 50 average of having a negative electrode active material, specifically 10 ㎛ to 25 ㎛, more specifically 10 ㎛ to 20 ㎛ a) particle size (D 50 may include a negative electrode active material having an).

In other words, since the graphite layers are bent in a polygonal structure according to an edge portion, the decomposition reaction of the solvent of the electrolyte, etc. in the non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery can be suppressed. The structure can be confirmed by a transmission electron microscope (TEM).
[34]
