Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

In the positive electrode active material according to the inventive concept, A positive active material for lithium secondary battery comprises a particle comprising M1, M2, and Li, wherein the particle comprises a center, a surface, and an intermediate portion between the center and the surface, wherein M1 and M2 are selected from transition metal and are different each other, and wherein concentrations of M1 and M2 have continuous concentration gradients from the center to the intermediate portion.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A positive active material for lithium secondary battery comprising a particle comprising M1, M2, M3 and Li, wherein the particle comprises a center, a surface, and an intermediate portion between the center and the surface, wherein M1, M2, and M3 are selected from transition metal and are different each other, wherein concentrations of M1, M2, and M3 have continuous concentration gradients from the center to the intermediate portion, wherein the concentrations of M1, M2, and M3 have continuous concentration gradient in an entire region of the particle, wherein the concentration of M1 decreases in the entire region of the particle, from the center to the surface, and wherein the concentrations of M2 and M3 increase in the entire region of the particle, from the center to the surface. 2. A positive active material for lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the particle comprises a same concentration portion in which the concentration of M1 is equal to the concentration of M2, and wherein a distance between the center and the same concentration portion is smaller than a distance between the surface and the same concentration portion. 3. A positive active material for lithium secondary battery according to claim 2 , wherein the center comprises the same concentration portion. 4. A positive active material for lithium secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein M1 is Ni, and M2 is Co. 5. A positive active material for lithium secondary battery according to claim 4 , wherein the particle further comprises Al.
