Abstract
The present invention provides a positive electrode active material for a secondary battery, the positive electrode active material being a secondary particle that includes a primary particle having a rectangular parallelepiped shape, the rectangular parallelepiped having at least one portion of vertices and edges formed in a round shape that is convex outward, wherein 1% to 40% of a total surface area of the secondary particle has open porosity, and the primary particle includes a lithium composite metal oxide of Formula 1 herein so that intercalation and deintercalation of lithium are facilitated, elution of an active material-constituting metal element is suppressed, and excellent structural stability is exhibited, thereby decreasing resistance and improving output and lifespan characteristics when applied to a battery, and a secondary battery comprising the same.
