First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A lithium cobalt-based positive electrode active material comprising sodium and calcium, wherein a total amount of the sodium and calcium is 150 ppm to 500 ppm based on a total weight of the lithium cobalt-based positive electrode active material, and wherein the lithium cobalt-based positive electrode active material is represented by Formula 1 below: Li 1-x M 1 x Co 1-y M 2 y O 2   [Formula 11] wherein M 1 includes Na and Ca, the M 2 is one or more selected from the group consisting of Al, Mg, W, Mo, Zr, Ti, Fe, V, Cr, Ba, Ca, and Nb, and 0<x≤0.1 and 0≤y≤0.2. 2. The lithium cobalt-based positive electrode active material of claim 1 , wherein the sodium and calcium are included in lithium sites of the lithium cobalt-based positive electrode active material. 3. The lithium cobalt-based positive electrode active material of claim 1 , wherein the M 1 is substitute for a lithium site and the M 2 is substituted for a cobalt site. 4. A positive electrode comprising the positive electrode active material of claim 1 . 5. A lithium secondary battery comprising the positive electrode of claim 4 . 6. The lithium secondary battery of claim 5 , wherein a driving voltage of the lithium secondary battery is 4.45 V or higher. 7. A method for preparing a lithium cobalt-based positive electrode active material, comprising: preparing a mixture by mixing a cobalt precursor containing sodium and calcium in an amount of 600 ppm or less based on a total amount of the cobalt precursor with a lithium raw material; and firing the mixture to prepare a lithium cobalt-based positive electrode active material in which the total amount of sodium and calcium is 150 ppm to 500 ppm based on the total weight of the lithium cobalt-based positive electrode active material, wherein the lithium cobalt-based positive electrode active material is represented by Formula 1 below: Li 1-x M 1 x Co 1-y M 2 y O 2   [Formula 11] wherein M 1 includes Na and Ca, the M 2 is one or more selected from the group consisting of Al, Mg, W, Mo, Zr, Ti, Fe, V, Cr, Ba, Ca, and Nb, and 0<x≤0.1 and 0≤y≤0.2. 8. The method of claim 7 , further comprising measuring contents of sodium and calcium in the cobalt precursor before the preparing of the mixture. 9. The method of claim 7 , wherein the preparing the mixture further comprises mixing at least one of a sodium raw material and a calcium raw material. 10. The method of claim 9 , wherein the sodium raw material and the calcium raw material are mixed such that the total amount of sodium and calcium in a lithium cobalt-based positive electrode active material is 150 ppm to 500 ppm based on the total weight of the lithium cobalt-based positive electrode active material. 11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the sodium and calcium are in the amount of 50 ppm to 600 ppm.
