Disclosed is a positive active material for a lithium secondary battery. The positive active material includes a lithium molybdenum oxide having an X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern with peaks at 11.5±2°, 21±2°, 38±2°, and 64±2° 2-theta (2θ) and represented by Formula 1: Li x MoO 3 , where 1<x≦3. Also disclosed is a method of preparing the positive active material. |
