The present invention relates to a positive electrode active material and a lithium secondary battery including the same, and more particularly, to a positive electrode active material which includes a lithium-rich lithium manganese-based oxide containing at least lithium, nickel, manganese and molybdenum, wherein the lithium manganese-based oxide includes at least one primary particle and a molybdenum-containing flux is used to improve the crystal growth of the primary particle, resulting in mitigation and/or prevention of a decrease in stability caused by lithium and manganese present in excessive amounts in the lithium manganese-based oxide, and a lithium secondary battery including the same.

Positive electrode active material and lithium secondary battery including the same

A positive electrode active material for a secondary battery comprises a lithium composite oxide represented by chemical formula 1 below and containing a layer-structured lithium excess oxide, wherein the lithium composite oxide comprises a secondary particle; the secondary particle comprises at least one primary particle; the primary particle comprises at least one crystallite; at least any one of the secondary particle, the primary particle, or the crystallite comprises a core and a shell occupying at least a portion of the surface of the core. When the crystal structure of space group C2/m is designated as [C2/m], the crystal structure of space group R-3m is designated as [R-3m], and the ratio of the crystal structure of space group C2/m versus the crystal structure of space group R-3m is designated as [C2/m]/[R-3m], the [C2/m]/[R-3m] of the core differs from that of the shell in the secondary particle: [chemical formula 1] rLiM1O·(1−r)LiM2O.

Positive electrode active material for lithium secondary battery, method for preparing same, and lithium secondary battery including same

The present disclosure is related to a positive electrode active material for lithium secondary batteries, a method for preparing the positive electrode active material, and a lithium secondary battery including the positive electrode active material. The positive electrode active material for lithium secondary batteries includes an overlithiated layered oxide (OLO), and the overlithiated layered oxide includes primary particles having a size in a range of 300 nm to 10 μm in an amount ranging from 50 to 100% by volume with respect to the total overlithiated layered oxide.

Positive electrode active material for lithium secondary battery, method for preparing the same, and lithium secondary battery including the same

The present invention relates to a positive electrode active material and a lithium secondary battery including the same, and more particularly, to a positive electrode active material, which includes an overlithiated lithium manganese-based oxide, which is a solid solution with a phase belonging to a C2/m space group and a phase belonging to an R3-m space group and in which stability degradation caused by excessive amounts of lithium and manganese in the lithium manganese-based oxide is mitigated and/or prevented because there are regions with different proportions of the phase belonging to the C2/m space group and the phase belonging to the R3-m space group in the lithium manganese-based oxide, and a lithium secondary battery including the same.

The present invention relates to a positive electrode active material and a lithium secondary battery including the same, and more particularly, to a positive electrode active material which includes an overlithiated lithium manganese-based oxide including at least lithium, nickel, manganese and a doping metal, and in which the degradation in stability caused by excessive amounts of lithium and manganese in the lithium manganese-based oxide is mitigated and/or prevented by controlling the concentration of a transition metal in the lithium manganese-based oxide for each region, and a lithium secondary battery including the same.
