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.

Positive electrode active material 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 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.
