A cathode, and a lithium battery containing the cathode are provided to improve cycle characteristics and to prevent the degradation of electrical conductivity. A cathode comprises a cathode active material which comprises a conducting agent, a binder and a cathode active material and is formed on the one side of a current collector. The cathode active material comprises the solid solution-based oxide represented by xLi2MO3-(1-x)LiMeO2, and the electrochemically inactive material surface-coated with carbon, wherein 0 < x < 1; and M and Me are independently at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Mn, Ti, Zr, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Al, Mg, Zr, B and Mo. |
