Electrode for lithium ion secondary batteries, lithium ion secondary battery using the same, and method for manufacturing the battery

Disclosed is an electrode for lithium ion secondary batteries which includes an active material layer containing active material particles and a porous insulating layer formed on the surface of the active material layer. The porous insulating layer includes an inorganic filler and a resin binder, and the surface of the active material layer has a first region on which the porous insulating layer is formed, and a second region on which the porous insulating layer is not formed. By using such an electrode, a lithium ion secondary battery can have a high capacity, excellent characteristics and improved safety.
