Abstract: The present technology relates to a manufacturing method for an electrode binder, comprising a step of dissolving pelletized polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) in a solvent; and an electrode assembly comprising the electrode binder. The present invention may provide an electrode assembly which has a low content of impurities in a binder solution, is capable of increasing dispersibility of an electrode active material, and exhibits excellent binding force.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of reusing a positive electrode material, and more particularly, the method includes: inputting a positive electrode for a lithium secondary battery comprising a current collector, and a positive electrode active material layer formed on the current collector and including a first positive electrode active material, a first binder and a first conducting agent, into a solvent; separating at least a portion of the positive electrode active material layer from the current collector; adding second binder powder to the solvent and performing primary mixing a resulting mixture; and preparing a positive electrode material slurry by adding a second positive electrode active material and a second conducting agent to the solvent and performing secondary mixing a resulting mixture.

Abstract: The present technology relates to an electrode slurry-discharging shim, and a coating die comprising same, the present technology allowing superbly even coating to be assured even when the electrode slurry coating is at a high load level. In one example, the present technology provides a coating shim for electrode slurry discharge according to the present invention having a step portion configured to be formed at an end of an electrode slurry discharge flow path and to increase a width of the discharge flow path, and the step portion is formed at opposite sides in a width direction of the electrode slurry discharge flow path.

Abstract: Disclosed is a coating apparatus for producing an electrode, which has a reduced defect rate in the coating process. The coating apparatus includes a die unit having an inlet through which the electrode slurry is introduced and an inner space for accommodating the introduced electrode slurry; a shim unit mounted in the die unit and configured to form an outlet together with the die unit so that the electrode slurry is discharged therethrough; and a cover member configured to surround an outer surface of the die unit and the shim unit so that the electrode slurry is not leaked at the outer surface, except for the outlet.

Abstract: A clock and data recovery circuit is disclosed herein. The clock and data recovery circuit includes a phase detection unit, a charge pump, a loop filter, a voltage control oscillator, and a frequency detection unit. The voltage control oscillator has oscillation frequency that is variable in response to a frequency adjustment signal, and outputs an oscillation signal. The frequency detection unit includes a reference clock divider, a counter, and an oscillation frequency control unit. The reference clock divider generates a count-enable signal based on a reference clock signal. The counter generates an oscillation count signal by counting the pulses of the oscillation signal of the voltage control oscillator or the pulses of divided signals resulting from dividing the oscillation signal while the count-enable signal is being enabled. The oscillation frequency control unit compares a target count value with the value of the oscillation count signal, and outputs the frequency adjustment signal.
