Abstract:
A polymer electrolyte for a lithium battery, wherein the polymer electrolyte includes a polymerization product of a lithium ion conductive compound including an ethylenically unsaturated bond, a lithium ion conductive unit, and an ion-exchangeable functional group; and a heteroatom-containing ionic liquid polymerizable with the lithium ion conductive compound.
Abstract:
A positive electrode active material including a lithium transition metal oxide, wherein when a lithium battery including a positive electrode including the lithium transition metal oxide is analyzed by differential capacity analysis, an irreversible peak is present in a graph of differential capacity versus voltage in a range of about 4.5 volts versus lithium to about 4.8 volts versus lithium during a first charge/discharge cycle.
