Abstract: A cathode for a lithium secondary battery includes a cathode current collector, a first cathode active material layer on the cathode current collector and a second cathode active material layer on the first cathode active material layer. The first cathode active material layer includes first cathode active material particles and a first binder. The first cathode active material particles include large-scaled particles having an average diameter (D50) from 10 ?m to 20 ?m and small-scaled particles having an average (D50) diameter from 1 ?m to 9 ?m. The second cathode active material layer includes second cathode active material particles having an average diameter (D50) from 1 ?m to 20 ?m and a second binder.

Abstract: Cathodes and lithium secondary batteries including the cathodes are disclosed. In some implementations, a cathode may include a cathode current collector and a cathode active material layer disposed on the cathode current collector and including cathode active material particles such that the cathode active material layer satisfies a specific equation. The cathode active material particles may include lithium metal oxide particles that include nickel, and may have a mole fraction of cobalt of 0.02 or less with respect to all elements except for lithium and oxygen.

Abstract: A cathode for a lithium secondary battery includes a cathode current collector, and a cathode active material layer formed on the cathode current collector. The cathode active material layer includes a cathode active material and a conductive material ID/IG is in a range from 0.5 to 1.25 in a Raman spectrum of the cathode active material layer. The cathode active material includes lithium metal oxide particles containing nickel and manganese and having a content of cobalt of less than 2 mol % among all elements except for lithium and oxygen.
