ELECTRODE FOR LITHIUM SECONDARY BATTERY INCLUDING NON-FIBRILLATED BINDER AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING SAME

A dry electrode for a lithium secondary battery includes a non-fibrillated binder and a dry manufacturing method thereof. The dry electrode includes an electrode material including an active material and a binder with which the electrode material is coated, in which the binder includes a copolymer derived from polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and is non-fibrillated. A method of manufacturing an electrode for a lithium secondary battery includes mixing an electrode material comprising an active material and a binder to prepare a mixture in which the electrode material is coated with the binder; and forming the mixture into a film to obtain an electrode, wherein the binder comprises a derivative of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and is non-fibrillated.
