  • Patent number: 11646402
    Abstract: An electrochemical pretreatment method of a vanadium positive electrode for a lithium secondary battery, which can improve the lifetime characteristics of the positive electrode and the battery by inhibiting the leaching of vanadium when charging and discharging the lithium secondary battery using, for instance, vanadium oxide (V2O5) as a positive electrode, and a vanadium positive electrode for a lithium secondary battery pretreated thereby. The electrochemical pretreatment method of the vanadium positive electrode for a lithium secondary battery includes a) a step of discharging the lithium free vanadium positive electrode at a voltage of 1.9 V or more; b) an electrochemical pretreatment step of maintaining the discharged vanadium positive electrode of a) at an onset potential value or a potential value having a maximum current through a potentiostat; and c) a step of charging and discharging the pretreated vanadium positive electrode of b) at a voltage range of 2.1V to 4.0V.
