Abstract

A positive electrode slurry includes a manganese-containing positive active material and a positive electrode additive. The positive electrode additive includes a compound represented by Formula (I), where A and B are same and are any one selected from atoms N, O, and S, and R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 , R 6 , R 7 , and R 8 are, each independently, selected from hydrogen or an alkyl with a carbon number of 1-7.
