Fabrication Method of Negative Electrode for Secondary Battery and Secondary Battery Including Negative Electrode

A negative electrode for a secondary battery, fabricated by a fabrication method of a negative electrode for a secondary battery comprising:

• (a) heating a slurry composition for a negative electrode containing a negative electrode active material, a binder, and a solvent to a temperature lower than a boiling point (Tb) of the solvent;
• (b) applying the heated slurry composition for a negative electrode onto a current collector;
• and
• (c) cooling the applied slurry composition for a negative electrode, the negative electrode comprising:
• the current collector;
• and
• a negative electrode active material layer formed on the current collector and containing a negative electrode active material, a conductive material, and a binder.
