Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a lithium electrode, comprising a porous metallic current collector; and lithium metal inserted into pores present in the metallic current collector. The lithium electrode according to the present disclosure can increase contact surface between lithium metal and a current collector to improve the performances of a lithium secondary battery, and can exhibit uniform electron distribution therein to prevent the growth of lithium dendrites during the operation of a lithium secondary battery, thereby improving the safety of a lithium secondary battery.
