POROUS SILICON-BASED NEGATIVE ELECTRODE ACTIVE MATERIAL, METHOD FOR PREPARING SAME, AND LITHIUM SECONDARY BATTERY COMPRISING SAME

摘要

Provided are a porous silicon-based anode active material including crystalline silicon (Si) particles, and a plurality of pores on surfaces, or the surfaces and inside of the crystalline silicon particles, wherein at least one plane of crystal planes of at least a portion of the plurality of pores includes a (100) plane, and a method of preparing the porous silicon-based anode active material. Since a porous silicon-based anode active material of the present invention may allow volume expansion, which is occurred during charge and discharge of a lithium secondary battery, to be concentrated on pores instead of the outside of the anode active material, the porous silicon-based anode active material may improve life characteristics of the lithium secondary battery by efficiently controlling the volume expansion.
