- a positive electrode (100, hereinafter referred to as “positive electrode”) for a lithium secondary battery includes a positive electrode current collector (110), a self-temperature control layer (120), and a positive electrode active material layer (130).
- the self-temperature control layer (120) may be arranged to cover a portion of the positive electrode current collector (110), and the positive electrode active material layer (130) may be arranged on a portion of the positive electrode current collector (110E) that is exposed and not covered by the self-temperature control layer and on the self-temperature control layer (120).
- the self-temperature control layer (120) includes a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) material.
- FIG. 6 is a graph showing the characteristics of the PTC material according to exemplary embodiments. Referring to FIG. 6, since the PTC material has a positive temperature coefficient, it has a characteristic of having low resistance in a low-temperature environment and increasing resistance as the temperature increases. Since the PTC material shows relatively low resistance at a low temperature, a higher current flows and heat is generated. When the temperature increases due to self-heating of the PTC material, the resistance of the PTC material increases, and the increase in resistance reduces the current flow and reduces the heat generation.
- the self-temperature control layer (120) self-heats as the heat generation amount of the PTC material increases, so that the temperature of the positive electrode can increase. Furthermore, when the temperature of the PTC material increases and reaches a specific temperature, the resistance of the PTC material dramatically increases and the current flowing in the self-temperature control layer decreases, so that overheating of the battery can be prevented. As described above, since the self-temperature control layer (120) has a self-heating effect when the battery is operated in a low-temperature environment, a separate battery heating means is unnecessary to increase the temperature of the battery in a low-temperature environment.
- the self-temperature control layer (120) can act as a resistor in a room temperature or high temperature environment, it is preferable that the self-temperature control layer (120) be arranged to cover a part of the positive electrode current collector rather than being arranged to cover the entire front surface of the positive electrode current collector.
- the cathode (100) can increase the temperature of the battery without a separate heating means by increasing the amount of heat generated by the PTC function of the self-temperature control layer when the battery is operated in a low-temperature environment.
- a battery to which lithium iron phosphate is applied as the cathode active material has a reduced capacity and output in a low-temperature environment.
- the temperature of the battery increases in a low-temperature environment without a separate heating means, so that the capacity expression and output performance can be improved.
- the positive electrode current collector may have a thickness of 3 ⁇ m to 500 ⁇ m, and fine unevenness may be formed on the surface of the positive electrode current collector to increase adhesion to the positive electrode active material layer.

- the surface roughness Ra of the positive electrode current collector is within the above range, the interfacial adhesive strength between the positive electrode current collector and the positive electrode active material layer may be more excellent.
- surface roughness refers to the degree of fine unevenness on the surface of the positive electrode collector, and can be expressed as the arithmetic mean roughness.
- the method for measuring surface roughness Ra is as follows. Using a laser microscope (VK-X100k, Keyence), the focus was on the surface of the positive electrode collector at a measurement magnification of ⁇ 150, and laser scanning was performed in Auto measure mode. The measurement standard was set according to JIS B0601:2001, and the measurement area was selected as the entire area to measure Ra for the entire area. The Ra value for each sample was expressed as the average value by measuring Ra at 10 locations on the surface of the positive electrode collector while moving the measurement position of the sample.
- the self-temperature control layer functions to raise the temperature of the positive electrode by self-heating at a low temperature
- the temperature-raising effect can be greater as the area ratio of the part where the self-temperature control layer comes into contact with the positive electrode active material layer is higher.
- the thickness of the self-temperature control layer can have a range that can cover not only the concave portion but also the convex portion of the fine unevenness. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 1, at least a portion of the side surface of the self-temperature control layer (120) can come into contact with the positive electrode active material layer (130).
- the side surface means two surfaces of the self-temperature control layer (120) excluding the upper surface that is parallel to the X direction and comes into contact with the positive electrode active material layer (130) and the lower surface that is flat to the X direction and comes into contact with the positive electrode current collector (110). That is, it can be a thickness direction (Z direction) surface.
- the area of the self-temperature control layer (120) in contact with the positive electrode active material layer be larger.
- the self-temperature control layer (120) may be arranged on one or both sides of the positive electrode current collector (110). In the case of a double-sided positive electrode in which a positive electrode active material layer is formed on both sides of the current collector, the self-temperature control layer may also be arranged on both sides of the positive electrode current collector, and in the case of a single-sided positive electrode in which a positive electrode active material layer is formed on one side of the current collector, the self-temperature control layer may also be arranged on one side of the positive electrode current collector.

- the self-temperature control layer (120) may be arranged in a grid shape in which a plurality of strips (121) extending in the Y-axis direction and a plurality of strips (121') extending in the X-axis direction intersect.
- the self-temperature control layer is arranged in a grid shape, it is preferable in that the resistance increase of the electrode at room temperature is not large.
- FIGS. 3 and 4 illustrate various arrangement forms of the self-temperature control layer according to exemplary embodiments.
- the self-temperature control layer (120) may be arranged in a stripe shape in which a plurality of strips (121) are arranged in a parallel and spaced manner.

Further, in some embodiments, the thickness of the self-temperature controlling layer may be in a range of 1 to 50 ⁇ m, or 2 to 40 ⁇ m, or 3 to 30 ⁇ m, or 5 to 20 ⁇ m. When the thickness of the self-temperature controlling layer is within the above range, it is preferable that the battery can have appropriate resistance characteristics in room temperature and high temperature environments.
