Abstract: Disclosed is a manganese-based lithium secondary battery comprising a cathode containing manganese-based lithium metal oxide, an anode, and an electrolyte, wherein the anode comprises an anode active material in which a Mn scavenger capable of reducing manganese ions on a surface by conducting or semiconducting properties is coated on part or all of anode active material particles. Through the use of the Mn scavenger, manganese ion dissolved from the manganese-based cathode active material into the electrolyte is preferentially deposited on the Mn scavenger coated on the surface of the anode active material particles, such that the dissolved manganese ion is inhibited from being deposited directly on the surface of the anode active material, and a decomposition of the electrolyte with the deposited manganese component is inhibited. Accordingly, the use of the Mn scavenger can provide a manganese-based lithium secondary battery having excellent storage performance.

Abstract: A high capacity lithium secondary battery includes a lithium manganese oxide having a layered structure exhibiting a great irreversible capacity in the event of overcharging at a high voltage and a spinel-based lithium manganese oxide. Because it is activated at a high voltage of 4.45 V or higher based on a positive electrode potential, additional lithium for utilizing a 3V range of the spinel-based lithium manganese oxide can be provided and an even profile in the entire SOC area can be obtained. Because the lithium secondary battery includes the mixed positive electrode active material including the spinel-based lithium manganese oxide and the lithium manganese oxide having a layered structure, and is charged at a high voltage, its stability can be improved. Also, the high capacity battery having a large available SOC area and improved stability without causing an output shortage due to a rapid voltage drop in the SOC area can be implemented.
