Lilium Nickel Oxide, Nickel Oxide 0 0), and Litum Oxide 0, Check the benefits of cores containing them <Production Example 1:{(1] 2] '410 2)}-{> 0》} .{2(1^ 20)}, table= 0.86, l= 0.07, 1= 0.07, table (1) Manufacturing of core Ni (OH) 2 , a nickel hydroxide precursor, was heat-treated for 10 hours in an inert atmosphere of 600 X: to obtain a nickel-based oxide 0. The nickel-containing oxide new 0 Lyrium oxide (1山0) and 1: bolbi (0 of 1.1 : 20 ) mixed in, and 680 ° (:.

(2) Manufacture of anode and lithium secondary battery (coin half cell) A positive electrode was manufactured by applying the core of Preparation Example 1 as a positive electrode additive, and a lylium secondary battery including the prepared positive electrode was manufactured. Specifically, the core (anode additive) of Preparation Example 1 {o .86( Li 2 Ni0 2))· {0.07 N10}-{o . o 7 U 2 0}, a conductive material (Super-P, Denka Black) and a binder (PVdF) were mixed in an organic solvent (NMP) in a weight ratio of 85: 10: 5 (anode additive: conductive material: binder), After preparing a slurry-like positive electrode mixture, the positive electrode mixture was coated on an aluminum current collector and dried in a vacuum oven at 120 °C for 30 minutes to prepare a positive electrode. Lithium metal (Li-metal) is used as the counter electrode, and ethylene carbonate (EC, Ethylene Carbonate): dimethyl carbonate (DMC, Demethyl Carbonate) was dissolved in a solution of 2% by weight of VC in a mixed solvent having a volume ratio of 1:2. Each of the above components was used, and a 2032 half coin cell was manufactured according to a conventional manufacturing method. (1) Preparation of core Except for the mixing of the nickel-based oxide Ni◦ and the lylium oxide (Li 20) in a molar ratio of 1:1.2, the rest were the same as in Preparation Example 1, { x( Li 2 Ni0 2)} {y( Ni0)} { z( Li 20)}, x= 0.80, y= 0.10, z= 0.10 were obtained, and this was used as the core of Preparation Example 2 (anode additive). . The formula is calculated from Experimental Example 1 described later. (2) Manufacture of positive electrode and lithium secondary battery (coin half cell) Except that the core of Preparation Example 2 (anode additive) was used instead of the core of Preparation Example 1 (anode additive), the remainder of the positive electrode and lithium secondary battery of Preparation Example 2 were manufactured in the same manner as Preparation Example 1. (1) manufacture of core Except that the nickel-based oxide NiO was mixed with lithium oxide (Li 20) in a molar ratio of 1:1.3, the rest were the same as in Preparation Example 1, { x( Li 2 Ni0 2)} {y( Ni0) } { z ( Li 20 )}, x = 0.76, y = 0.12, z = 0.12 was obtained, and the above formula is an experimental example to be described later It is calculated from 1. (2) Manufacture of anode and lithium secondary battery (coin half cell) Except that the core of Preparation Example 3 (positive electrode additive) was used instead of the core of Preparation Example 1 (anode additive), the remainder of the positive electrode and lithium secondary battery of Preparation Example 3 were manufactured in the same manner as Preparation Example 1 . (1) Preparation of positive electrode additive After preparing the positive electrode additive prepared in the same manner as in Preparation Example 1, the unreacted nickel oxide NiO and litum oxide () were filtered through a sieve of 400 mesh, and the space group was Irrnnm. (Orthorhombic) x ( Li 2 Ni0 2) having a crystal structure , x = 0.86 was finally obtained, which was used as the positive electrode additive of Comparative Example 1. (2) Manufacture of anode and lithium secondary battery (coin half cell) Except for the fact that the positive electrode additive of Comparative Example 1 was used instead of the positive electrode additive of Preparation Example 1, the remainder of the positive electrode and lithium secondary battery of Comparative Example 1 were manufactured in the same manner as Preparation Example 1. For each core (positive electrode additive) of Preparation Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1, Cu Ka XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) analysis by X-ray (Xm) was performed, and the results are recorded in Table 1 below. Specifically, lithium nickel oxide and the nickel oxide (NiO) are crystalline and can be detected by XRD (X-Ray Diffiaction) by Fe Ka X-ray (X-ra). In particular, the quantitative analysis was obtained through XRD (X-Ray Diffiaction) immediate post intensity (intensity) calculation. [Table 1] In Comparative Example 1, it is already known that the point group has an orthorhombic crystal structure of Immm. However, from the result of the structural analysis in Table 1, Comparative Example 1 and Preparation Examples 1 to 3 It can be seen that it has the same crystal structure. Accordingly, it can be seen that Preparation Examples 1 to 3 also include a compound represented by Li 2+a Ni b M b02+c . From the results of the quantitative analysis in Table 1 , it can be confirmed that Li 20 was not detected in Comparative Example 1. However, in Preparation Examples 1 to 3, 7% by weight of the total amount (100% by weight) (Production Example 1), 10 In weight% (Production Example 2) and 12% by weight (Production Example 3), it can be confirmed that Li 2 ◦ was detected , respectively . < Experimental Example 2: Evaluation of initial charge/discharge characteristics of a battery in which the core was applied as an anode additive> For each of the cells of Preparation Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1, the initial charge/discharge characteristics were evaluated under the following conditions. The evaluation results are reported in FIG. 1 and Table 2 below. Charge: 0.1C, CC/CV, 4.25 V, 0.05C cut-off Discharge: 0.1C, CC, 2.5 V, cut-off According to FIG. 1 and Table 2 below, compared to Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that the initial irreversible capacity of the negative electrode in Preparation Examples 1 to 3 decreased, and the initial efficiency of the positive electrode increased. [Table 2] In Preparation Examples 1 to 3, in order to confirm the effect of improving the initial performance of the battery by the core in the positive electrode additive of one embodiment, a positive electrode mixture was prepared by using each positive electrode additive in the same amount as a conventional positive electrode active material. And lithium secondary batteries were manufactured. As described above, the core irreversibly releases lylium ions and oxygen at ° before initial charging of the battery, for example 2.5 to 4.25 V (VI 0/0+), and then reversibly intercalates lithium ions. And it can be converted into a composition capable of desorption. Accordingly, as in Preparation Examples 1 to 3, the additive core may be used as an additive for compensating the initial irreversible capacity of the negative electrode, and as an active material that enables reversible insertion and desorption of lithium. However, because of the U content and its structural limitations, it may have a small reversible capacity compared to a conventional positive electrode active material. Therefore, in the case of improving the initial performance of the battery and securing long-term life characteristics, depending on the desired battery characteristics , With the positive electrode additive of one embodiment including the core, the positive electrode active material may be mixed and used at an appropriate mixing ratio. II. Identification of the advantages of positive electrode additives including core and phosphorus compound coating layers including lithium oxide nickel oxide, nickel oxide 10), and lithium oxide (I山) (1) Preparation of positive electrode additive All the processes were the same as in Preparation Example 1, and { x( Li 2 Ni0 2)} { y(Ni0)} _{z(Li 20)}, x= 0.86, y= 0.07, z= 0.07 was finally obtained. And, this was used as the core of Example 1. The core of Example 1 and ammonium phosphate (ammonium phosphate, NH 4 H 2 P0 4) were mixed, and the mixture was heat-treated in an inert atmosphere of 700 for 10 hours to obtain the positive electrode additive of Example 1. However, at the time of mixing, the first ammonium phosphate was made to be 2000 ppm with respect to the total amount of the mixture. (2) Manufacture of anode and lithium secondary battery (coin half cell) Except for the fact that the positive electrode additive of Example 1 was used instead of the core of Preparation Example 1 (positive electrode additive), the remainder of the positive electrode and lithium secondary battery of Example 1 were prepared in the same manner as Preparation Example 1. (1) Preparation of positive electrode additive When mixing the core of Example 1 with the first ammonium phosphate, with respect to the total amount of the mixture, except for the point that the first ammonium phosphate was 500 ppm, the rest were the same as in Example 1, and the positive electrode additive of Example 2 Obtained. (2) Manufacture of anode and lithium secondary battery (coin half cell) Except that the positive electrode additive of Example 2 was used instead of the positive electrode additive of Example 1, the remainder of the positive electrode and lithium secondary battery of Example 2 were manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1. (1) Preparation of positive electrode additive When mixing the core of Example 1 with the first ammonium phosphate, with respect to the total amount of the mixture, except for the point that the amount of the first ammonium phosphate is 4000 ppm, the rest are in Example 2019/103576 1»(:1^1{2018/014725 In the same manner as in 1, the positive electrode additive of Example 3 was obtained. (2) Manufacture of anode and lylium secondary battery (coin half cell) Except that the positive electrode additive of Example 3 was used instead of the positive electrode additive of Example 1, the remainder of the positive electrode and lithium secondary battery of Example 3 were manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1. (1) Preparation of positive electrode additive When mixing the core of Example 1 with the first ammonium phosphate, with respect to the total amount of the mixture, the first ammonium phosphate was 8,000 , except for the point, and the rest were the same as in Example 1 to obtain the positive electrode additive of Example 5. I did. (2) Manufacture of anode and lylium secondary battery (coin half cell) Except that the positive electrode additive of Example 5 was used instead of the positive electrode additive of Example 1, the remainder of the positive electrode and lithium secondary battery of Example 5 were manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1. (1) Preparation of positive electrode additive In the same manner as in Example 1, except that the core of Preparation Example 2 was used instead of Preparation Example 1, the positive electrode additive of Example 7 was obtained. (2) Manufacturing of anode and retum secondary battery (coin half cell) Except that the positive electrode additive of Example 7 was used instead of the positive electrode additive of Example 1, the remainder of the positive electrode and lithium secondary battery of Example 7 were manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1. (1) Preparation of positive electrode additive Except that the core of Preparation Example 3 was used instead of Preparation Example 1, the rest were the same as those of Example 1 to obtain the positive electrode additive of Example 8. (2) Manufacture of anode and lithium secondary battery (coin half cell) Except that the positive electrode additive of Example 8 was used instead of the positive electrode additive of Example 1, the remainder of the positive electrode and lithium secondary battery of Example 8 were manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1. For the positive electrode additive of Example 1, through XPS analysis, XPS analysis was performed to determine whether a coating layer was formed on the surface of the core of Preparation Example 1 and, if so, what its components were. More specifically, for the positive electrode additive of Example 1, as a result of the immediate binding energy (Binding Energy) by XPS analysis, the peak at about 134 eV was blackened. This is the binding energy of Li 3 P0 4 widely known in the art ( Binding Energy). Therefore, the positive electrode additive of Example 1 , through a coating layer forming process using NH 4 H 2 P0 4 as a coating raw material, LiOH and NH 4 H 2 P0 4, which is a lylium by-product present on the core surface of Preparation Example 1, reacted. It can be seen that a coating layer containing Li 3 P0 4 is formed on the surface of the core . Here, only the positive electrode additive of Example 1 was confirmed, but Examples 2 to 8 using the same raw materials and processes as in Example 1 were also formed on the surface of each core with a coating layer of the same components as in Example 1, but only the coating amount It is inferred to be different. For each of the positive electrode additives of Examples 1 to 8 and each of the cores of Preparation Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1, the initial pH and the Li byproduct and content remaining on the surface were immediately determined. The measurement results are shown in Table 3 below. However, in the measurement, the initial pH was a pH titration method, 10 g of each positive electrode additive was added to 100 ml of H 20 , stirred for 5 minutes, and then 0.1N HC1 titration was performed. Based on the initial inflection point during pH titration, the amount of the base portion was measured as the content of LiOH, and the content of the total Li by-product was measured respectively, and the value obtained by subtracting the content of LiOH from the content of the total Li by-product was Li It was calculated as the 2 C0 3 content. Here, each content represents each content of 011 and 1山0¾, and the total amount of these lylium by-products, based on the total amount (100% by weight) of the positive electrode additive or the core. Table 3] 2019/103576 1»(:1/10公018/014725 From Table 3 above, as the amount of Li 20 in the core increases, the lithium by-product content increases, but it can be seen that by forming a phosphorus) compound like each of the anode additives of Examples 1 to 8, the lithium by-product can be reduced. Furthermore, in Examples 1 to 8, it can be seen that as the coating amount of the phosphorus) compound increases, the ritum by-product is more effectively reduced. For each of the cells of Examples 1 to 8 and each of the cells of Preparation Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1, the initial (1 st cycle) The amount of gas generated during charging and the amount of gas generated according to the charge/discharge order (l st ~ 4 th cycle) were measured. Specifically, electrochemical mass spectrometry. (Differential electrochemical mass spectrometer, DEMS) was used to measure the gas pressure emitted when each battery was charged in real time. Charge: 0.1 C, CC/CV, 4.25 V, 0.05C cut-off Discharge: 0.1C, CC, 2.5 V, cut-off The measurement results are shown in Table 4 below and shown in FIG. 2. [Table 4] For each of the cells of Examples 1 to 8 and each of the cells of Preparation Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Example 1, the following conditions were initially used. The charge and discharge characteristics were evaluated. The evaluation results are recorded in Fig. 3 and Table 5 below. Charge: 0.1C, CC/CV, 4.25V, 0.05C cut-off Discharge: 0.1C, CC, 2.5 V, cut-off According to Table 5 below, compared to Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that the initial irreversible capacity of the negative electrode in Preparation Examples 1 to 3 decreased and the initial efficiency of the positive electrode increased. Furthermore, in preparation for Preparation Examples 1 to 3 In Examples 1 to 8, it can be seen that the initial efficiency of the positive electrode is further increased. However, if the coating content is too high, there is a possibility of reducing the initial charging capacity, and it will be necessary to control it within 500 to 9000 ppm. [Table 5] 2019/103576 1»(:1^1{2018/014725 In addition to Table 5, if a comprehensive review of Tables 3 and 4 and FIGS. 2 and 3 above, the cores of Preparation Examples 1 to 3 are voltage at the time of initial charging of the battery, for example 2.5 to By irreversibly releasing lithium ions and oxygen at 4.25 V 01 ni/0+), compared to Comparative Example 1, the initial irreversible capacity of the negative electrode was reduced and the initial efficiency of the positive electrode was increased. It can be seen that there is a limit to increasing the initial efficiency of On the other hand, in Examples 1 to 8, it can be seen that by forming a coating layer on the cores of Preparation Examples 1 to 3, the initial efficiency of the positive electrode can be further improved. This, while each of the positive electrode additives of Examples 1 to 8 has the effect of the core (i.e., decreases the initial irreversible capacity of the negative electrode, increases the initial efficiency of the positive electrode) as it is, but has the effect of removing lithium by-products by the coating layer and suppressing gas generation. Therefore, it can be seen that the initial characteristics of the battery are further improved. On the other hand, in Examples 1 to 8, in order to confirm the effect of improving the initial performance of the battery in the positive electrode additive of one embodiment, a positive electrode mixture was prepared by using each positive electrode additive in the same amount as a conventional positive electrode active material, and the positive electrode and lithium A secondary battery was prepared. However, in the case of improving the initial performance of the battery and securing long-term life characteristics, according to the desired battery characteristics, a positive electrode active material may be mixed with the positive electrode additive of one embodiment at an appropriate mixing ratio. 2019/103576 1»(:1^1{2018/014725 III.

However, in Examples 7 and 8, the weight ratio of the positive electrode additive of Example 1: the positive electrode active material: the conductive material: the binder was 4.825:91.675:1.5:2 (Example 7) and 9.65:86.85:1.5:2.0, respectively (Example 7) Example 8). Using the anodes of Examples 7 and 8 instead of the anode of Example 1, each 2032 half-cell 0 1 0 0 1) was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1 . No positive electrode additive was used, and the same amount of positive electrode active material as that of the positive electrode additive of Example 1 (1 () .8 (: 0 ()). 11\1|| (). 102 ), a positive electrode was manufactured in the same manner as in Example 1, and a lithium secondary battery including the prepared positive electrode was manufactured.

However, in Comparative Examples 3 and 4, the weight ratio of the positive electrode additive of Preparation Example 1: the positive electrode active material: the conductive material: the binder was 4.825:91.67:1.5:2 (Production Example 3) and 9.65:86.85:1.5:2.0 (Production Example 1), respectively. I made it yes. Each anode of Comparative Examples 3 and 4 was used instead of the anode of Example 1, and each 2032 half coin cell was produced in the same manner as in Example 1. Specifically, charging and discharging of the batteries of Comparative Examples 2 to 4 and Examples 7 and 8 were performed under the following conditions at room temperature of 25 ° C.

In addition, when the weight ratio of the additive: the active material is the same, when applying the positive electrode additive of Example 1 rather than the positive electrode additive of Preparation Example 1, it is confirmed that the initial charging capacity and life characteristics of the battery are further improved. [Table 6] 2019/103576 1»(:1^1{2018/014725 When the above results are combined with Experimental Examples 1 to 6, cores commonly applied to Comparative Examples 3 and 4, Examples 7 and 8 (lithium nickel oxide, nickel oxide (^0), and lithium oxide (nickel 20 )) Included Core) has the advantage of compensating for the initial irreversible capacity of the negative electrode and increasing the initial charging capacity of the positive electrode by irreversibly releasing lithium ions and oxygen in priority over the positive electrode active material in voltage during the initial charging of the battery. I can confirm. However, when the core is not coated, there is a limit to increase the initial efficiency of the anode due to the presence of lylium by-products, and when the core is coated with a phosphorus compound, the effect of the core (ie, decrease in the initial irreversible capacity of the cathode, anode It can be seen that the initial characteristics of the battery have been further improved since it has the effect of removing retum by-products by the coating layer and suppressing gas generation while maintaining the initial efficiency increase). Further, according to Fig. 4 and Table 6, when the number of cycles of the battery is the same, it can be seen that the capacity retention rates of Examples 7 and 8 are remarkably high compared to the capacity retention rates of Comparative Examples 2 to 4. 2019/103576 1»(:1^1{2018/014725 This difference in the capacity maintenance rate is makin even more severe the more the cycle proceeds the number of cells increase , in particular , in Comparative Example 2 of 100 cycles after driving in case of the initial capacity is maintained, only the capacity of 92.8%, 200 cycles after driving is 89.5% It can be seen that only the capacity of is maintained. On the other hand, in the case of Examples 7 and 8, compared to the respective initial capacity, it can be seen that 94.8% or more of the capacity is maintained after 100 cycles of driving, and 92.5% or more of the capacity is maintained even after 200 cycles of driving. This is one implementation. If the battery cycle proceeds in a state where the initial capacity of the positive electrode is increased by the positive electrode additive of the example, it means that the lost capacity decreases. In addition, as mentioned above, the positive electrode additive of one embodiment in the voltage during the initial charging of the battery. After irreversibly releasing lithium ions and oxygen, it is converted into a composition capable of reversible insertion and desorption of lithium ions, which means that it partially contributes to capacity realization even during the battery cycle. Further, it can be seen that the initial characteristics and long-term driving characteristics of the battery are different depending on the presence or absence of the additive surface coating under the condition that the core composition of the additive, the mixing ratio of the additive and the active material are the same. Specifically, it was confirmed that the initial characteristics and long-term driving characteristics of the battery of Example 7 were improved compared to Comparative Example 3, and the initial characteristics and long-term driving characteristics of the battery of Example 8 were improved as compared to Comparative Example 4. This is, under the condition that the core composition of the additive, the mixing ratio of the additive and the active material are the same, and when the additive surface is coated, lithium by-products ( 20 ¾, 1^011, etc.) remaining on the surface of the core are removed to generate gas in the battery. This can be seen as the effect of suppression. Meanwhile, among Examples 7 and 8, the initial charge capacity and life characteristics of the battery were further improved in Example 8, in which a positive electrode mixture having a higher positive electrode additive content was used. This means that the use of the positive electrode mixture having a high positive electrode additive content of one embodiment can further improve the initial charging capacity of the battery and thus more effectively improve the life of the battery. Therefore, as mentioned above , the battery In the case of improving the initial performance of and securing long-term life characteristics, it may be possible to mix and use the positive electrode active material with the positive electrode additive of one embodiment at an appropriate mixing ratio according to the desired battery characteristics. 【Scope of claim】 [Claim 1] Core represented by the following formula (1) in the overall composition; And Located on the surface of the core, phosphorus) a coating layer containing a compound; containing, Anode additive: [Formula 1] { x( Li 2+a Ni b Mi. b02+c)} · {y( NiO)} · { z( Li 20)} In Formula 1, Is at least one of the metal elements forming a divalent cation or a trivalent cation, -0.2£a£0.2, 0.5 £b £1.0, -0.2£c£0.2, 0.7空 <1.0, 0
