METHOD OF MIXING CATHODE ACTIVE MATERIAL

A method of mixing a cathode active material in a process of manufacturing a cathode of a lithium secondary battery is provided. The method includes a preparation step of preparing a lithium compound removal solution in which PAA (polyacrylic acid) is mixed with a solvent, a removal step of reacting the lithium compound removal solution with the cathode active material, on a surface of which a lithium compound is present, thus removing the lithium compound present on the surface of the cathode active material, and a mixing step of mixing the cathode active material, which is mixed with the lithium compound removal solution, with a conductive material and a binder.
