Abstract:
A positive active material for a rechargeable lithium battery includes a nickel-based lithium metal oxide having a layered crystal structure and a coating layer including a lithium-metal oxide selectively disposed on (003) crystalline plane of the nickel-based lithium metal oxide, wherein the nickel-based lithium metal oxide exists as single particles.
Abstract:
A nickel-based active material for a lithium secondary battery, a method of preparing the nickel-based active material, and a lithium secondary battery including a positive electrode including the nickel-based active material, the nickel-based active material comprising a secondary particle having an outer portion with a radially arranged structure and an inner portion with an irregular porous structure, wherein the inner portion of the secondary particle has a larger pore size than the outer portion of the secondary particle.
Abstract:
A composite cathode active material, including a nickel-based lithium transition metal oxide secondary particle, the nickel-based lithium transition metal oxide secondary particle including a coating layer containing lithium and cobalt on a surface of a primary particle of the secondary particle.
