Abstract:
A positive electrode includes a current collector, and a positive active material layer on at least one surface of the current collector and including a positive active material. The positive active material layer includes a first portion adjacent to the current collector, and a second portion adjacent to an outer surface of the positive active material layer. Since the second portion includes a metal component, structural stability of the positive electrode may be improved. Accordingly, lifespan characteristics of a lithium battery including the positive electrode may be improved.
