Abstract:
PURPOSE: A negative active material used for a secondary lithium battery is provided to obtain structural stability by preventing phase analysis even when charging/discharging is repetitively practiced at 0-1.5V and to have superior cycle lifetime and capabilities. CONSTITUTION: A negative active material used for a secondary lithium battery includes an Mo_xM_yP_z compound. In the compound, M is selected from a group comprising Co, Mn, Fe, Ni, Zn, and combinations thereof. The negative active material has a nanoparticle cluster shape. A method for manufacturing the negative active material comprises a step of mixing Mo, metal M, and P and a step of plasticizing mixture powder after milling the mixture. The lithium secondary battery includes an anode(3) including anodic active material, a cathode(2) including the negative active material, and an electrolyte.
