Abstract
A lithium secondary battery includes a cathode formed from a cathode active material including a first cathode active material particle and a second cathode active material particle, an anode and a separator interposed between the cathode and the anode. The first cathode active material particle includes a lithium metal oxide including a continuous concentration gradient in at least one region between a central portion and a surface portion. The second cathode active material particle includes a lithium metal oxide including elements the same as those of the first cathode active material particle, and the second cathode active material particle has a uniform composition from a central portion to a surface.
