Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A lithium secondary battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte. The negative electrode includes a current collector, an active material layer on the current collector and including an amorphous silicon oxide represented by SiO x (0.95<x<1.7), and an SEI layer on the active material layer and including about 70 area % or more of protrusion parts having a size of about 5 nm to 300 nm during charging of the battery.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A lithium secondary battery comprising: a positive electrode, a negative electrode comprising: a current collector, an active material layer on the current collector, the active material layer comprising an amorphous silicon oxide represented by SiO x wherein 0.95<x<1.7 and a carbon layer coated on at least a portion of the amorphous silicon oxide, wherein the carbon layer has a graphitization degree defined by a G peak with a full width at half maximu…
