CATHODE ACTIVE MATERIAL PRECURSOR, CATHODE ACTIVE MATERIAL, LITHIUM SECONDARY BATTERY AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME

A cathode active material precursor according to embodiments of the present invention includes a composite hydroxide particle in which primary precursor particles are aggregated. The primary precursor particles include a particle having a triangular shape in which a minimum interior angle is 30° or more and a ratio of a length of a short side relative to a length of a long side is 0.5 or more. A cathode active material and a lithium secondary having improved high temperature stability is provided using the cathode active material precursor.
