METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING SEPARATOR, SEPARATOR FORMED THEREBY, AND ELECTROCHEMICAL DEVICE INCLUDING SAME

A method for manufacturing a separator, including the steps of: (S1) preparing a pre-dispersion including inorganic particles dispersed in a pre-dispersion solvent and a first binder polymer dissolved in the pre-dispersion solvent; (S2) conducting a preliminary milling of the pre-dispersion; (S3) preparing a binder polymer solution including a second binder polymer dissolved in a binder polymer solution solvent; (S4) mixing the pre-dispersion with the binder polymer solution and carrying out a secondary milling to obtain a slurry for forming a porous coating layer; and (S5) applying the slurry to at least one surface of a porous polymer substrate, followed by drying, is disclosed. A separator obtained by the method and an electrochemical device including the same are also disclosed. According to the present disclosure, it is possible to provide a separator having a uniform surface and showing improved adhesion.
