- SCP is a value calculated based on [Equation 2] described above.
- a positive electrode slurry composition was prepared by mixing.
- the positive electrode slurry composition prepared above was applied to a thickness of 350 ⁇ m on an aluminum current collector having a thickness of 20 ⁇ m, dried at 50 ° C. for 12 hours, and pressed with a roll press to prepare a positive electrode.
- LiTFSI bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide
- LiNO 3 lithium nitrate

- Examples 1 to 3 had a BET of 3,000 m 2 /g and a primary particle diameter of less than 8 ⁇ m. As a result, the irreversible capacity ratio showed a very low value of less than 4%. On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, even though the BET value was high, the primary particle diameter was large (8 ⁇ m), so the irreversible capacity ratio was higher than that of Examples. On the other hand, if a carbon material having a specific surface area as low as 1,600 m 2 /g or less is used, the irreversible capacity increases compared to the examples when the particle size is small (Comparative Examples 3, 4, and 5) or excessively large (Comparative Example 6).
- the specific surface area, total pore volume and average pore diameter of the carbon material used in Production Example were measured. Specifically, for each carbon material used in Preparation Example, the amount of nitrogen adsorption and desorption was measured under vacuum using a specific surface area measuring instrument (model name: BELSORP-MINI, manufacturer: BEL Japan Inc.). Through this, an isothermal adsorption-desorption curve was obtained and the specific surface area was calculated by the Brunaure-Emmett-Teller (BET) method.
- BET Brunaure-Emmett-Teller
- the particle size corresponding to D 50 was measured in a dry method using a particle size analyzer (model name: Bluewave, manufacturer: Microtrac).
- a particle size analyzer model name: Bluewave, manufacturer: Microtrac.
- the primary particle diameter was observed and measured using a scanning electron microscope (model name: SEM, manufacturer: JEOL).
- the battery charger/discharger (manufacturer: PNE) charged and discharged at a rate of 0.1C/0.1C in the range of 1.0 to 3.6V at a constant temperature of 25°C, and the irreversible capacity was measured using the formula below.
- Irreversible capacity [1 st discharge capacity (0.1C rate) - 2 nd discharge capacity (0.1C rate)] ⁇ 1 st discharge capacity (0.1C rate) x 100 (%)
