Method of preparing positive electrode active material for secondary battery

Abstract

A method of preparing a positive electrode active material for a secondary battery includes preparing a lithium composite transition metal oxide which includes nickel, cobalt, and manganese and contains 60 mol % or more of the nickel among all metals except lithium, adding a moisture absorbent and the lithium composite transition metal oxide into an atomic layer deposition (ALD) reactor, and adding a coating metal precursor into the atomic layer deposition (ALD) reactor and forming a metal oxide coating layer on surfaces of particles of the lithium composite transition metal oxide by atomic layer deposition (ALD).
