Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method of preparing a positive electrode active material for a secondary battery is provided, which includes preparing a lithium composite transition metal oxide, and mixing the lithium composite transition metal oxide and a metal borate compound and performing a heat treatment to form a coating portion on surfaces of particles of the lithium composite transition metal oxide. The positive electrode active material prepared includes lithium composite transition metal oxide particles, and a coating portion formed on surfaces of the lithium composite transition metal oxide particles, wherein the coating portion includes lithium (Li)-metal borate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of preparing a positive electrode active material for a secondary battery, comprising: preparing a lithium composite transition metal oxide; and mixing the lithium composite transition metal oxide and a metal borate compound and performing a heat treatment to form a coating portion comprising a lithium (Li)-metal borate on surfaces of particles of the lithium composite transition metal oxide, wherein the lithium composite transition metal oxide provides the source of Li for the Li-metal borate. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the metal borate compound is a borate compound including at least one metal ion selected from the group consisting of zinc (Zn), zirconium (Zr), tungsten (W), magnesium (Mg), tin (Sn), aluminum (Al), barium (Ba), titanium (Ti), and vanadium (V). 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the metal borate compound is a Zn-borate compound. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the lithium composite transition metal oxide comprises nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co) and at least one selected from the group consisting of manganese (Mn) and aluminum (Al), wherein an amount of nickel (Ni) in a total amount of transition metals in the lithium composite transition metal oxide is 60 mol % or more. 5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the amount of the nickel (Ni) in the total amount of the transition metals in the lithium composite transition metal oxide is 80 mol % or more. 6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising a coating method using dry mixing, wherein after nanoparticles are formed by milling the metal borate compound the dry mixing is performed. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the lithium (Li)-metal borate is represented by Formula 1: Li a M 1+x1 B 2+y1 O 3+z1   [Formula 1] wherein, in Formula 1, M is at least one selected from the group consisting of Zn, Zr, W, Mg, Sn, Al, Ba, Ti, and V, and 0<a≤1.5, −0.8≤x1≤4, −1.8≤y1≤4, and −2≤z1≤10.
