    Abstract: Provided are a sacrificial positive electrode material with a reduced gas generation amount and a method of preparing the same. The method includes calcinating a raw material mixture of lithium oxide (Li2O) and cobalt oxide (CoO) to prepare a lithium cobalt metal oxide, wherein the lithium oxide (Li2O) has an average particle size (D50) of 50 µm or less, and the resulting sacrificial positive electrode material has an electrical conductivity of 1 × 10-4 S/cm or more. The method of preparing a sacrificial positive electrode material can reduce the generation of gas, particularly, oxygen (O2) gas, in an electrode assembly during charging of a battery by adjusting the electrical conductivity of the sacrificial positive electrode material within a specific range using lithium oxide that satisfies a specific size, and thus the stability and lifespan of the battery including the same can be effectively enhanced.

    Abstract: A sacrificial positive electrode material, a positive electrode comprising the same, and a lithium secondary battery having the positive electrode are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a sacrificial positive electrode material includes a lithium cobalt oxide represented by the following Chemical Formula 1, wherein the sacrificial positive electrode active material has a defect formation energy of metal (M) of −4.0 to −8.5 eV, calculated using density functional theory (DFT): LixCo(1-y)MyO4   [Chemical Formula 1] M is at least one selected from the group consisting of Al, Fe, Zn, Ti, W, Mg, Ge and Si, pa x and y are 5≤x≤7 and 0.05≤y≤0.6. When the defect formation energy of the metal is controlled within a specific range, a high initial charging/discharging efficiency is realized during initial charging/discharging, and the amount of gas additionally generated at the later time of charging/discharging is reduced. Thus, stability and the charging/discharging performance of a battery is improved.

    Abstract: An additive for a positive electrode of a lithium secondary battery comprising a lithium transition metal oxide, Li3PO4 and Li5AlO4. The lithium transition metal oxide is doped with aluminum. The additive comprising Li3PO4 and Li5AlO4 together with the lithium transition metal oxide has a function of improving battery stability when applied to a positive electrode of a lithium secondary battery. Specifically, when a general lithium transition metal oxide is applied to the positive electrode of a lithium secondary battery, it may cause a side reaction with the electrolyte solution to generate gas in the battery, which may cause a problem with poor stability. However, Li3PO4 and Li5AlO4 are uniformly mixed with the lithium transition metal oxide or partially form a coating layer, and some aluminum is doped into the lithium transition metal oxide to inhibit the lithium transition metal oxide from causing side reactions with the electrolyte solution.
