Description

Polymer Electrolyte Membrane for Lithium Secondary Battery and Lithium Secondary Battery Including the Same The present disclosure provides a polymer electrolyte membrane for a lithium secondary battery and a lithium secondary battery including the same. Rechargeable batteries are batteries capable of repeated charging and discharging, and with the advancement of the information and communication and display industries, they are widely used as power sources for portable electronic communication devices such as camcorders, mobile phones, and laptop PCs. Furthermore, recently, battery packs containing rechargeable batteries are being developed and applied as power sources for eco-friendly vehicles, such as electric cars. Among secondary batteries, active research and development is being conducted on lithium-ion batteries due to their high operating voltage and energy density per unit weight, as well as their advantages in charging speed and weight reduction. Recently, lithium-ion batteries with high energy density and rapid charging characteristics are being researched and developed. In this case, heat accumulates inside the battery during repeated charging and discharging cycles, which can cause a fire. Fire safety of batteries can be improved by using solid or semi-solid electrolytes. Solid or semi-solid electrolytes may have lower fluidity and less deformation due to heat compared to liquid electrolytes, and thus battery stability can be improved. However, to increase the capacity and size of batteries, structural modifications, processing, and physical property improvements of the electrolyte layer may be necessary to improve the lifespan characteristics and stability of lithium batteries.
