Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure provides a positive electrode for a secondary battery which includes a positive electrode active material and a lithium-based alloy. Also, the present disclosure provides a method of preparing the positive electrode for a secondary battery which includes the steps of forming a positive electrode material mixture layer including a positive electrode active material and forming a coating layer including a lithium-based alloy on the positive electrode material mixture layer, or forming a positive electrode material mixture layer by coating a positive electrode collector with a slurry for forming a positive electrode, which includes a positive electrode active material and a lithium-based alloy, and rolling the positive electrode collector.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A positive electrode for a secondary battery, the positive electrode comprising a positive electrode active material and a lithium-based alloy, and a positive electrode material mixture layer in which the positive electrode active material and the lithium-based alloy are mixed, wherein the positive electrode active material is a lithium transition metal oxide including at least one transition metal cation selected from the group consisting of cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), and manganese (Mn), and wherein the lithium-based alloy comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of a Li—Al-based alloy, a Li—Si-based alloy, a Li—Sn-based alloy, a Li—Bi-based alloy, and a Li—Sb-based alloy. 2. The positive electrode for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the lithium-based alloy is a Li—Al-based alloy. 3. The positive electrode for a secondary battery of claim 2 , wherein the Li—Al-based alloy contains 30 at % to 80 at % of lithium and 20 at % to 70 at % of aluminum. 4. The positive electrode for a secondary battery of claim 1 , wherein the positive electrode active material and the lithium-based alloy are included in a weight ratio of 99:1 to 1:99. 5. A lithium secondary battery comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, wherein the positive electrode is the positive electrode for a secondary battery of claim 1 . 6. A method of preparing a positive electrode for a secondary battery, the method comprising: forming a positive electrode material mixture layer by coating a positive electrode collector with a slurry for forming a positive electrode, which includes a mixture of a positive electrode active material and a lithium-based alloy, and rolling the positive electrode collector, wherein the positive electrode active material is a lithium transition metal oxide including at least one transition metal cation selected from the group consisting of cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), and manganese (Mn), and wherein the lithium-based alloy comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of a Li—Al-based alloy, a Li—Si-based alloy, a Li—Sn-based alloy, a Li—Bi-based alloy, and a Li—Sb-based alloy. 7. The method of claim 6 , wherein, in the forming of the positive electrode material mixture layer by coating the positive electrode collector with the slurry for forming a positive electrode, which includes the positive electrode active material and the lithium-based alloy, and rolling the positive electrode collector, the slurry for forming a positive electrode does not comprise an organic solvent. 8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the positive electrode active material and the lithium-based alloy are included in a weight ratio of 99:1 to 1:99.
