Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a lithium secondary battery including a silicon-based anode active material for a lithium secondary battery and an anode formed using the same. The silicon-based anode active material for a lithium secondary battery according to exemplary embodiments includes a surface coated with carbon and doped with lithium. A ratio of a peak area at 102.5 eV to a total area of a peak area at 100 eV, the peak area at 102.5 eV, and a peak area at 104 eV, which appear in an Si2p spectrum when measuring by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), is 40% or less, thereby allowing an electrode to be stably manufactured without changing physical properties of the slurry during manufacturing the electrode. In addition, the anode active material for a secondary battery may be usefully used to manufacture a lithium secondary battery having high discharge capacity and high energy density characteristics.
