Abstract

Disclosed is a positive electrode and a lithium battery including the positive electrode. The positive electrode includes a current collector, a first layer irreversibly deintercalating lithium ions, and a second layer allowing reversible intercalation and deintercalation of lithium ions. In one embodiment, the first layer further comprises a first sublayer and a second sublayer, in which the first sublayer is interposed between the current collector and the second sublayer. The first sublayer comprises a first active material represented by Formula 1 LiMoRO, and the second sublayer comprises a second active material represented by Formula 2 LiNiRO. In Formula 1, 0≦n<1; and Ris selected from the group consisting of manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg), nickel (Ni), and combinations of at least two of the foregoing elements. In Formula 2, 0≦m<1; and Ris selected from the group consisting of Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Mg, molybdenum (Mo), and combinations of at least two of the foregoing elements.
