POSITIVE ELECTRODE ACTIVE MATERIAL, POSITIVE ELECTRODE HAVING THE SAME AND LITHIUM SECONDARY BATTERY

The invention relates to a process for the preparation of carbon-deposited alkali metal oxyanion and the use thereof as cathode material in lithium secondary batteries wherein the process comprises synthesis of partially reacted alkali metal oxyanion, a wet-based nanomilling step, a drying step and a subsequent carbon deposition step performed by a thermal CVD process. The invention also relates to carbon deposited alkali metal oxyanion with less than 80 ppm of sulfur impurities for the preparation of a cathode of lithium secondary batteries with exceptional high-temperature electrochemical properties.
