Abstract

A lithium cobaltate based positive electrode-active material for a lithium secondary cell consisting of lithium cobaltate (LiCoO.sub.2) having 0.5% by weight or less of free cobalt oxide (Co.sub.3 0.sub.4). According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a lithium cobaltate based positive electrode-active material which has excellent discharge capacity and capacity holding rate and gives a high energy density, suitable for a lithium secondary cell.
