The present invention relates to an
anode comprising: an
anode current collector; and an
anode active material layer disposed on at least one surface of the anode
current collector, wherein the anode active material layer comprises an anode active material. The anode active material comprises a first anode active material and a second anode active material, wherein the first anode active material comprises coated-artificial
graphite particles including primary artificial
graphite particles and an
amorphous carbon coating layer positioned on the primary artificial
graphite particles, and the second anode active material comprises uncoated-artificial graphite particles in the form of secondary particles in which two or more primary artificial graphite particles are assembled. The ratio of the average particle
diameter (D50) of the second anode active material to the average particle
diameter (D50) of the first anode active material is between 1.2 and 4.7.
