[DESCRIPTION] ANODE FOR SECONDARY BATTERY AND SECONDARY BATTERY INCLUDING THE SAME [TECHNICAL FIELD] 5 The present invention relates to an anode for secondary batteries in which an anode mixture including an anode active material is coated on a current collector, wherein the anode active material includes lithium titanium oxide (LTO) particles provided on a surface thereof with a cross-linked polymer coating layer, wherein the LTO particles with the cross-linked polymer coating layer formed thereon have a 10 porous structure formed therebetween, and a cross-linked polymer of the coating layer is a phosphate-based compound and a secondary battery including the same. [BACKGROUND ART] As mobile device technology continues to develop and demand therefor continues to increase, demand for secondary batteries as energy sources is rapidly 15 increasing. Among these secondary batteries, lithium secondary batteries, which exhibit high energy density and operating potential, have long cycle lifespan, and have a low self-discharge rate, are commercially available and widely used. -1- In addition, as recent interest in environmental problems is increasing, research into electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), and the like that can replace vehicles using fossil fuels, such as gasoline vehicles, diesel vehicles, and the like, which are one of the main causes behind air pollution, is underway. As a 5 power source of EVs, HEVs, and the like, a nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) secondary battery is mainly used. However, research into lithium secondary batteries having high energy density, high discharge voltage, and high output stability is actively carried out and some of the lithium secondary batteries are commercially available. A lithium secondary battery has a structure in which an electrode assembly, 10 which includes: a cathode prepared by coating a cathode active material on a cathode current collector; an anode prepared by coating an anode active material on an anode current collector; and a porous separator disposed between the cathode and the anode, is impregnated with a lithium salt-containing non-aqueous electrolyte. Such lithium secondary batteries require a certain level or higher of porosity 15 of an electrode in consideration of ionic conductivity of active materials. However, excess reduction in porosity of an electrode occurs in a process of preparing an electrode slurry including an electrode active material and, consequently, rapid decrease in C-rate may be caused. -2- Secondary batteries require a certain level or higher of C-rate according to individual applications and, in particular, secondary batteries for power tools which require high power or secondary batteries for EVs and HEVs require much higher Crate. 5 Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a technology that may address the above-described problems. [DISCLOSURE] [Technical Problem] Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above problems 10 and other technical problems that have yet to be resolved. As a result of a variety of extensive and intensive studies and experiments, the inventors of the present invention confirmed that, when lithium titanium oxide, a surface of which is coated with a phosphate-based compound as a crosslinked polymer, is used as an anode active material, desired effects may be achieved, thus completing 15 the present invention. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, provided is an anode for secondary batteries in which an anode mixture including an anode active material is coated on a current collector, wherein the anode active material includes lithium titanium oxide (LTO) particles provided on a surface thereof with a cross-linked 5 polymer coating layer, wherein the LTO particles with the cross-linked polymer coating layer formed thereon retain a porous structure formed therebetween, and a cross-linked polymer of the coating layer is a phosphate-based compound. The anode according to the present invention uses LTO, a surface of which is coated with a phosphate-based compound, as an anode active material and thus may 10 enhance power output characteristics and may also enhance lifespan due to a stabilized electrode interface. In particular, the LTO particles retain a predetermined porous structure even though the coating layer is formed on the surfaces of the LTO particles, and thus, a specific surface area of a layer of the anode active material may be increased and 15 connectivity among pores may be enhanced and, consequently, an impregnation ratio of an electrolyte may be increased, which results in enhanced charge and discharge characteristics. -4- That is, the phosphate-based compound has high reactivity with radicals and thus is considered to enhance electrochemical stability of the anode active material through improvement in progress of polymerization. In particular, an LTO electrode may accelerate electrolyte decomposition 5 reaction (Ti4+ <—-> Ti3+) during charge and discharge and salt anions may accelerate LTO catalytic and electrochemical reactions. In these aspects, it is considered that a phosphate group may reduce liquid electrolyte decomposition by binding to Ti with high stability and reduction reactivity through binding with anions and also serve to suppress structural decomposition of the formed film. 10 In addition, the LTO used as an anode active material acts as a catalyst and thus may accelerate cross-linking polymerization of the phosphate-based compound and, accordingly, the above-described effects may be maximized. In an embodiment, the phosphate-based compound may be at least one material selected from the group consisting of a phosphate-based acrylate represented 15 by Formula 1 below, a pyrophosphate-based acrylate represented by Formula 2 below, and a phosphate-based urethane acrylate. O Ri O Rt O I R2 R, O (1) -5- 0 Rr Rt O •|cii2aid]^o-p-o—* aid]^Y^ 0 0 J" R? J Ri "o • (2) In Formulas 1 and 2, R\ and R2 are each independently hydrogen, a methyl group, or F, and n is an integer of 1 to 20. Specifically, in Formula 1 and/or Formula 2, Ri may be hydrogen and n may 5 bel. The anode may further include a multifunctional compound polymerizable with the phosphate-based compound. When the coating layer of the anode active material is formed together with the multifunctional compound polymerizable with the phosphate-based compound, 10 various characteristics of a battery may be further enhanced. That is, when the coating layer of the anode active material is formed by cross-linking polymerization of the phosphate-based compound with high binding affinity through a structure capable of satisfactorily coordinating lithium ions and the multifunctional compound with excellent elasticity, electrochemical properties and 15 mechanical properties of each material may complement each other. -6- In an embodiment, the multifunctional compound may be at least one material selected from the group consisting of a (meth)acrylic acid ester-based compound, an unsaturated carbonic acid-based compound, a vinyl-based compound. The (meth)acrylic acid ester-based compound is a (meth)acrylate-based 5 compound having at least two acrylate groups per molecule, and the (meth)acrylatebased compound may be a monomer represented by Formula 3 below or an oligomer thereof. R 3 l m ° R5 R4 (3) In Formula 3, R3, R4, and R5 are each independently hydrogen or a substituted 10 or unsubstituted C1-C4 alkyl group, and m is an integer of 1 to 20. In addition, the (metha)acrylic acid ester-based compound may be at least one material selected from the group consisting of diethylene glycol diacrylate (Di(EG)DA), diethylene glycol dimethacrylate (Di(EG)DM), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDM), dipropylene glycol diacrylate (Di(PG)DA), dipropylene 15 glycol dimethacrylate (Di(PG)DM), ethylene glycol divinyl ether (EGDVE), ethoxylated(6) trimethylolpropane triacrylate (ETMPTA), diethylene glycol divinyl ether (Di(EG)DVE), triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (Tri(EG)DM), dipentaerythritol pentaacrylate (DPentA), trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), trimethylolpropane -7- trimethacrylate (TMPTM), propoxylated(3) tri methyl olpropane triacrylate (PO(3)TMPTA), propoxylated(6) trimethylolpropane triacrylate (PO(6)TMPTA), poly (ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PA1), and poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate, but embodiments are not limited thereto. 5 The multifunctional compound may also form various types of copolymers with the phosphate-based compound, e.g., a random copolymer, a block copolymer, a graft copolymer, or the like. The amount of the phosphate-based compound may be between 0.01 and 50 parts by weight, in particular between 1 and 30 parts by weight, based on 100 parts by 10 weight of the anode active material. The coating layer of the phosphate-based compound may have a thickness of 0.001 p,m to 10 jam, in particular 0.1 Lim to 5 \im. The porosity of the anode may be between 10 and 50%, in particular between 30 and 40%. 15 The term "porosity" used herein refers to a ratio of a hollow portion of a porous material to a total volume of the porous material and is also referred to as degree of pores or void fraction. -8- The anode for secondary batteries according to the present invention may be manufactured using a method including: coating an anode slurry including LTO as an anode active material on a current collector and drying the coated current collector (step (A)); forming a phosphate-based compound coating layer on surfaces of LTO 5 particles by impregnating the anode manufactured by step (A) with a solution in which the phosphate-based compound is dissolved (step (B)); and polymerizing the phosphate-based compound through thermal curing, photocuring by irradiation of electron beams or gamma rays, or stabilization reaction at a temperature of 30°C to 80°C (step (C)). 10 In step (B), the amount of the phosphate-based compound may be 0.1 wt% to 30 wt% based on a weight of a solvent. When the amount of the phosphate-based compound is less than 0.1 wt% based on the weight of the solvent, it is difficult to form the coating layer. On the other hand, when the amount of the phosphate-based compound exceeds 30 wt% based 15 on the weight of the solvent, a transfer rate of lithium ions may decrease and thus battery performance may be deteriorated. This is equally applied to a case in which the multifunctional compound is added to the phosphate-based compound. That is, a total amount (weight) of the phosphate-based compound and the multifunctional compound may be between 0.1 and 30 wt%, in particular between 1 to 20 wt%, based 20 on the weight of the solvent. -9- The multifunctional compound polymerizable with the phosphate-based compound may be included in the solution of step (B) in an amount of 0.1 wt% to 10 wt%, in particular 0.1 wt% to 0.5 wt%, based on the weight of the solvent. When the amount of the multifunctional compound is too low, effects thereof are insufficient. 5 On the other hand, when the amount of the multifunctional compound is too great, polymerization with the phosphate-based compound may be difficult to implement. The solution in which the phosphate-based compound is dissolved may include a polymerization initiator, an electrolyte solution (plasticizer), and a lithium salt. 10 Examples of the polymerization initiator include, without being limited to, azo-based compounds such as 2,2-azobis(2-cyanobutane), 2,2- azobis(methylbutyronitrile), 2,2'-azoisobutyronitrile (AIBN), and azobisdimethylvaleronitrile( AMVN), peroxy-based compounds such as benzoyl peroxide, acetyl peroxide, dilauryl peroxide, di-tert-butyl peroxide, cumyl hydroperoxide, and 15 hydrogen peroxide, and hydroperoxides. In particular, the polymerization initiator may be AIBN, 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethyl valeronitrile) (V65), di-(4- tertbutylcyclohexyl)-peroxydicarbonate (DBC), or the like. The polymerization initiator decomposes at a temperature of 40°C to 80°C to form a radical and may react with monomers by free radical polymerization. In -10- general, free radical polymerization is implemented through initiation reaction whereby highly reactive molecules or active sites are temporarily formed, propagation reaction whereby monomers are added to active chain ends and thus active sites are formed again at the chain ends, chain transfer reaction whereby active sites are 5 transferred to other molecules, and termination reaction whereby an active chain center is destroyed. In addition, polymerization may also be implemented without using a polymerization initiator. The electrolyte solution also serves as a plasticizer. For example, the electrolyte solution may be an aprotic organic solvent such as N-methyl-2- 10 pyrrolidinone, propylene carbonate (PC), ethylene carbonate (EC), butylene carbonate (BC), dimethyl carbonate (DMC), diethyl carbonate (DEC), ethyl methyl carbonate (EMC), gamma butyrolactone, 1,2-dimethoxy ethane, tetrahydroxy franc, 2-methyl tetrahydrofuran, dimethylsulfoxide, 1,3-dioxolane, formamide, dimethylformamide, dioxolane, acetonitrile, nitromethane, methyl formate, methyl acetate, phosphoric acid 15 triester, trimethoxy methane, dioxolane derivatives, sulfolane, methyl sulfolane, 1,3- dimethyl-2-imidazolidinone, propylene carbonate derivatives, tetrahydrofuran derivatives, ether, methyl propionate, or ethyl propionate. The electrolyte solution may be used alone or in combination of at least two thereof. The lithium salt is a material that is readily soluble in a non-aqueous 20 electrolyte and thus disintegrates into lithium ions. Examples thereof include LiCl, -11- LiBr, Lil, LiC104, LiBF4, LiBi0Cii0, LiPF6, LiCF3S03, LiCF3C02, LiAsF6, LiSbF6, LiAlCi4, CH3S03Li, CF3S03Li, (CF3S02)2NLi, chloroborane lithium, lower aliphatic carbonic acid lithium, lithium tetraphenyl borate, and imide. These lithium salts may be used alone or at least two thereof may be used in combination. 5 The lithium salt may be included in an amount of 0.01 wt% to 30 wt%, in particular 0.1 wt% to 20 wt%, based on total solids. In addition, in order to improve charge/discharge characteristics and flame retardancy, for example, pyridine, triethylphosphite, triethanolamine, cyclic ether, ethylenediamine, n-glyme, hexaphosphoric triamide, nitrobenzene derivatives, sulfur, 10 quinone imine dyes, N-substituted oxazolidinone, N,N-substituted imidazolidine, ethylene glycol dialkyl ether, ammonium salts, pyrrole, 2-methoxy ethanol, aluminum trichloride, or the like may be added to the electrolyte. In some cases, in order to impart incombustibility, the electrolyte may further include a halogen-containing solvent such as carbon tetrachloride, ethylene trifluoride, or the like. In addition, in 15 order to improve high-temperature storage characteristics, the electrolyte may further include carbon dioxide gas. In another embodiment, the anode for secondary batteries according to the present invention may be manufactured using a method including coating an anode slurry including LTO as an anode active material and the phosphate-based compound -12- on a current collector and drying the coated current collector (step (a)) and polymerizing the phosphate-based compound by performing thermal curing, photocuring by irradiation of electron beams or gamma rays, or stabilization reaction at a temperature of 30°C to 80°C on the anode fabricated in step (a). 5 The present invention also provides a secondary battery including the anode for secondary batteries. The secondary battery is manufactured so as to have a structure in which an electrolyte is included in an electrode assembly including a cathode, an anode, and a separator disposed between the cathode and the anode. The cathode may for example be manufactured by coating a mixture of a 10 cathode active material, a conductive material, and a binder on a cathode current collector and drying and pressing the coated cathode current collector. As desired, the mixture may further include a filler. The cathode current collector is generally fabricated to a thickness of 3 to 500 pm. The cathode current collector is not particularly limited so long as it does not 15 cause chemical changes in the fabricated lithium secondary battery and has high conductivity. For example, the cathode current collector may be made of stainless steel, aluminum, nickel, titanium, sintered carbon, aluminum or stainless steel surfacetreated with carbon, nickel, titanium, or silver, or the like. The cathode current collector may have fine irregularities at a surface thereof to increase adhesion between -13- the cathode active material and the cathode current collector. In addition, the cathode current collector may be used in any of various forms including films, sheets, foils, nets, porous structures, foams, and non-woven fabrics. Examples of the cathode active material include, without being limited to, 5 layered compounds such as lithium cobalt oxide (UC0O2) and lithium nickel oxide (LiNiCh) or compounds substituted with one or more transition metals; lithium manganese oxides represented by Lii+xMn2-x04 where 03, LiMn203, and LiMnC>2; lithium copper oxide (L12CUO2); vanadium oxides such as L1V3O8, Li"V*304, V2O5, and CU2V2O7; Ni-site type lithium nickel oxides having the 10 formula LiNii.xMx02 where M=Co, Mn, Al, Cu, Fe, Mg, B, or Ga, and 0.01 Anode Fabrication Li1.33Ti1.67O4 as an anode active material, Denka black as a conductive material, and PVdF as a binder were added to NMP and mixed therein in a weight ratio 15 of 95:2.5:2.5 to prepare an anode mixture.
