Embodiment 1

[0161] By mixing lithium carbonate (Li 2 CO 3 ) and Ni 0.55 co 0.25 mn 0.20 (OH) 2 A mixture was prepared by supplying Li:(Ni+Co+Mn) in a molar ratio of 1.01:1.00. In this paper, Ni was obtained by mixing Compound 1A and Compound 2A with the same composition but different particle sizes at a weight ratio of 8:2 0.55 co 0.25 mn 0.20 (OH) 2 .

[0162] The as-prepared mixture was subjected to a first heat treatment under conditions of heating at 5°C / min from 25°C to 900°C and holding at 900°C for 2 hours, and then cooling at 5°C / min until 25°C to provide The first compound (Li 1.01 Ni 0.55 co 0.25 mn 0.20 o 2 ) and the second compound (Li 1.01 Ni 0.55 co 0.25 mn 0.20 o 2 ) of the first combustion product. At the same time, the first heat treatment process was performed under an air atmosphere with an embedding height of 5 cm.

Embodiment 2

[0183] 94 wt% of the positive active material prepared in Example 1, 3 wt% of Ketjen Black and 3 wt% of polyvinylidene fluoride were mixed in N-methylpyrrolidone solvent to prepare positive active material slurry. The positive active material slurry was coated on an aluminum foil, which was then dried and pressed to manufacture a positive electrode. A 2032-type half-cell was fabricated by a conventional method using a positive electrode, a lithium metal counter electrode, and an electrolyte. The electrolyte is a mixed solvent of ethylene carbonate and dimethyl carbonate (volume ratio 50:50), in which 1.0M LiPF is dissolved 6 .
