First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A cathode active material for a lithium secondary battery, the cathode active material comprising: a core part comprising a lithium metal oxide; and a coating layer covering at least a portion of a surface of the core part and comprising an inorganic compound. 2 . The cathode active material of claim 1 , wherein the cathode active material has a flow angle in a range of 20° to 55°. 3 . The cathode active material of claim 1 , wherein the cathode active material has a cohesive index in a range of 10 to 20. 4 . The cathode active material of claim 1 , wherein the cathode active material has a roughness index in a range of 1.30 to 1.50. 5 . The cathode active material of claim 1 , wherein the cathode active material has a coefficient of surface friction in a range of 0.8 to 1.2. 6 . The cathode active material of claim 1 , wherein the cathode active material has a flow angle in a range of 20° to 55°, a cohesive index of 10 to 20, a roughness index in a range of 1.30 to 1.50, and a coefficient of surface friction in a range of 0.8 to 1.2. 7 . The cathode active material of claim 1 , wherein the lithium metal oxide is represented by Li a (Ni x M1 y M2 z )O 2 , wherein M1 comprises Co, Mn, Ni, Al, Mg, or Ti, wherein M2 comprises Ca, Mg, Al, Ti, Sr, Fe, Co, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn, Y, Zr, Nb, or B, and wherein 0<a≤1, 0.7≤x≤1, 0≤y≤0.3, 0≤z≤0.3, and x+y+z=1 are satisfied. 8 .
