Provided is a lithium secondary battery comprising an anode mix including
a silicon- or tin-based material as an anode active material, and as a
binder, a photo-polymerizable material composed of one or more monomers
selected from the group consisting of an epoxy derivative, polyester
acrylate and epoxy acrylate, or oligomers or polymers thereof, wherein an
anode can be prepared within a short period of time via a simplified
manufacturing process by applying the anode mix to a current collector
and polymerizing the applied anode mix with light-irradiation, and
further, superior charge/discharge cycle characteristics of the battery
are provided due to stable maintenance of binding between active
materials and between the active material and current collector,
regardless of significant volume changes of the anode active material
occurring upon charging/discharging the battery.
