Original Abstract Submitted
An insulation-layer forming composition includes: a conjugated diene copolymer as a binder polymer; and a non-aqueous organic solvent as a dispersion solvent, the conjugate diene copolymer having a Tg of −10° C. to 40° C. According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, a physical short circuit between the cathode and the anode due to the defects, such as separator shrinkage and electrode folding in the lithium secondary battery, can be prevented. Moreover, cathode coating and insulating liquid coating can be simultaneously performed, by forming, on a tab portion of the cathode, an insulating layer satisfying all of flexibility, insulating characteristics, and electrolyte resistance characteristics. A cathode including the insulation-layer forming composition, a method of forming the cathode, and a lithium secondary battery including the cathode are also provided.
