Anode for lithium metal battery, method of preparing the same, and lithium metal battery including the anode

Abstract

Provided are an anode for a lithium metal battery, a lithium metal battery including the same, and a method of preparing the anode, the anode including a current collector, a host layer on the anode current collector and including mesocarbon microbeads (MCMBs), a first MCMB-containing layer including MCMBs and a first lithium-ion conducting polymer, and a second MCMB-containing layer including MCMBs and a second lithium-ion conducting polymer, wherein the first lithium-ion conducting polymer and the second lithium-ion conducting polymer each have an electrical conductivity of 10−8 S/m or less, an amount of the second lithium-ion conducting polymer is greater than that of the first lithium-ion conducting polymer.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
