A composite cathode active material including an overlithiated metal oxide having a layered structure, a material having an olivine structure, and one or more of: an inorganic material, and nitrogen atoms doped in the material having an olivine structure. The inorganic material includes a nitride or carbide of a non-transition metal. The composite cathode active material may be included in a cathode, and the cathode may be included in a lithium battery. |
