Positive electrode active material precursor and preparation method of positive electrode active material precursor

A method of preparing a bimodal positive electrode active material precursor and a positive electrode active material prepared from the same are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the method includes inputting a first reaction source material including a first aqueous transition metal solution into a reactor, precipitating at pH 12 or more to induce nucleation of a first positive electrode active material precursor particle, and at less than pH 12 to induce growth of the same, inputting a second reaction source material including a second aqueous transition metal solution into the reactor containing the first positive electrode active material precursor particle, precipitating at pH 12 or more to induce the nucleation of a second positive electrode active material precursor particle, and at less than pH 12 to induce simultaneous growth of the first and second positive electrode active material precursor particles, thereby preparing a bimodal positive electrode active material precursor.
