SEPARATOR FOR LITHIUM SECONDARY BATTERY AND LITHIUM SECONDARY BATTERY COMPRISING SAME

The present invention relates to a separator for a lithium secondary battery and a lithium secondary battery including same, the separator including: a porous substrate; and a coating layer on at least one surface of the porous substrate. The coating layer includes a (meth)acrylic copolymer including a first structural unit derived from (meth)acrylamide, a second structural unit derived from (meth)acrylonitrile, and a third structural unit derived from (meth)acrylamido sulfonic acid, (meth)acrylamido sulfonic acid salt, or a combination thereof. The first structural unit is included in an amount of 55 mol % to 90 mol % based on 100 mol % of the (meth)acrylic copolymer and the second structural unit and third structural unit are each independently included in 5 mol % to 40 mol % based on 100 mol % of the (meth)acrylic copolymer. The (meth)acrylic copolymer has a weight average molecular weight of 200,000 to 700,000.
