Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

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.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A positive active material for a rechargeable lithium battery, comprising: a core comprising a lithium intercalation compound; and a crystalline coating compound on a surface of the core and comprising a crystalline aluminum hydroxide, a crystalline aluminum oxyhydroxide, or a combination thereof wherein the crystalline coating compound is present in an island form on the surface of the core. 2. The positive active material of claim 1 , wherein an average particle diameter (D50) of the coating compound is in a range of about 200 nm to about 1000 nm. 3. The positive active material of claim 1 , wherein a content of the coating compound is in a range of about 0.05 mol % to about 2 mol % based on 100 mol % of the core. 4. The positive active material of claim 1 , wherein the positive active material further comprises a conductive material on the surface of the core. 5. The positive active material of claim 1 , wherein the coating compound has a spherical shape or a sheet shape. 6. A rechargeable lithium battery, comprising: a positive electrode comprising the positive active material of claim 1 ; a negative electrode comprising a negative active material; and an electrolyte.
