Abstract:
A cathode active material including at least two agglomerates of primary particles and a cathode and a lithium secondary battery containing the same are disclosed. In the cathode active material, a secondary particle includes a nickel-based lithium transition metal oxide, an average particle diameter of each primary particle is in a range from about 2 to about 3 μm, and an average particle diameter of the secondary particle is in a range from about 5 to about 8 μm.
Abstract:
A positive active material for a rechargeable lithium battery and a rechargeable lithium battery including the same are disclosed. The positive active material includes a core including a lithium intercalation compound and a crystalline coating compound on a surface of the core and including a crystalline aluminum hydroxide, a crystalline aluminum oxyhydroxide, or a combination thereof.
Abstract:
Provided are a positive active material, a lithium battery including the positive active material, and a method of manufacturing the positive active material. The positive active material includes a lithium molybdate composite having a core-shell structure. The lithium molybdate composite acts as a sacrificial positive electrode in a positive electrode of a battery. The positive active material is able to increase charge capacity of a lithium battery, and accordingly is able to improve lifetime properties of a lithium battery.
