METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING CATHODE ACTIVE MATERIAL, CATHODE ACTIVE MATERIAL, AND LITHIUM SECONDARY BATTERY INCLUDING SAME

The present invention relates to a method for preparing an anode active material, comprising (S1) forming a shell being a coating layer comprising a carbon material on the surface of a core comprising silicon oxide particles, to obtain a silicon oxide-carbon composite having a core-shell structure; (S2) mixing the silicon oxide-carbon composite with an oxygen-containing lithium salt, followed by heat treatment to produce a silicon oxide-lithium alloy, thereby obtaining a (SiO-Li)-C (0
