The present disclosure relates to a cathode active material for a secondary battery, a cathode for a secondary battery including the same, a secondary battery including the cathode for a secondary battery and manufacturing methods thereof. More particularly, it is possible to obtain a secondary battery having excellent electrochemical characteristics by electrochemically inducing a structural phase change in the cathode active material of a secondary battery including NaCl as a cathode active material.

Cathode active material for secondary battery, cathode for secondary battery including the same, secondary battery including the cathode for secondary battery, and manufacturing methods thereof

Disclosed is a method of preparing a cathode active material useful in a sodium ion secondary battery having high reversible capacity and excellent cycle characteristics. The method for preparing a cathode active material composed of Zr-doped NaLiMOincludes the steps of (A) doping LiMOwith Zrto provide Zr-doped LiMO; and (B) dissociating Li ion from the Zr-doped LiMOand inserting Na ion thereto to provide the Zr-doped NaLiMO, wherein M is selected from Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Mo, Ru, and combinations thereof, and wherein 0.005&#x3c;w&#x3c;0.05, 0.8&#x2264;x&#x2264;0.85, 0.09&#x2264;y&#x2264;0.11, 7&#x2264;x/y&#x2264;10, 0.7&#x2264;z&#x2264;0.95, and 1.95&#x2264;a&#x2264;2.05. When the cathode active material is used for manufacturing a cathode for a sodium ion secondary battery, the battery can substitute for a conventional, expensive lithium ion secondary battery.
