Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Disclosed is a positive electrode and a lithium battery including the positive electrode. The positive electrode includes a current collector, a first layer irreversibly deintercalating lithium ions, and a second layer allowing reversible intercalation and deintercalation of lithium ions. In one embodiment, the first layer further comprises a first sublayer and a second sublayer, in which the first sublayer is interposed between the current collector and the second sublayer. The first sublayer comprises a first active material represented by Formula 1 Li 2 Mo 1-n R 1 n O 3 , and the second sublayer comprises a second active material represented by Formula 2 Li 2 Ni 1-m R 2 m O 2 . In Formula 1, 0≦n<1; and R 1 is selected from the group consisting of manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), magnesium (Mg), nickel (Ni), and combinations of at least two of the foregoing elements. In Formula 2, 0≦m<1; and R 2 is selected from the group consisting of Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Mg, molybdenum (Mo), and combinations of at least two of the foregoing elements.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A positive electrode comprising: a current collector; a first layer irreversibly deintercalating lithium ions; and a second layer allowing reversible intercalation and deintercalation of lithium ions, wherein the first layer is interposed between the current collector and the second layer, wherein a thickness ratio of the first layer to the second layer is from about 5:95 to about 30:70. 2. The positive electrode of claim 1 , w…
