Original Abstract Submitted

present disclosure A method for preparing a positive electrode active material capable of implementing a battery excellent in both initial capacity and lifespan properties includes (A) mixing a positive electrode active material precursor containing 80 mol % or greater of nickel (Ni) in all metals with a lithium-containing raw material, and then performing primary firing on the mixture to prepare a primary fired product, and (B) mixing the primary fired product and a nickel compound, and then performing secondary firing on the mixture to prepare a lithium transition metal oxide. The nickel compound is added such that the mol % of nickel contained in the nickel compound is greater than 0.01 mol % to less than 0.15 mol % based on the total number of moles of the metals contained in the positive electrode active material precursor.
