Problems solved by technology

However, there is a problem that these anode materials have low initial efficiency and thus high irreversible capacity loss during initial charge / discharge
In addition, when preparing a composition for manufacturing an electrode, by-products such as LiOH react with binder components, thereby increasing the viscosity of the composition or causing gelation, thus making it difficult to uniformly coat for forming an active material layer electrode composition, and degrades the characteristics of the battery
[0010]Furthermore, free LiOH and / or free Li derived from LiOH can degrade the cycle efficiency of the positive electrode, and lithium oxides or nickel oxides exhibit little fundamental capacity , thus possibly reducing the capacity of the irreversible additive
