Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a positive active material for a rechargeable lithium battery and a rechargeable lithium battery including the same. The positive active material includes an active compound that can intercalate/deintercalate lithium ions, and a bismuth (Bi)-based compound on the surface of the active compound. The bismuth (Bi)-based compound in the positive active material of the present invention decreases resistance against acid generated around a positive active material, and plays a role of suppressing structural change of the positive active material and its reaction with an electrolyte solution and preventing dissolution of transition elements therein. Accordingly, the positive active material of the present invention can improve storage and cycle life characteristics at a high temperature. In addition, it can increase charge and discharge, cycle life, and rate characteristics of a rechargeable lithium battery as well as improve mobility of lithium ions in the electrolyte solution.
