An anode active material that can prominently improve lifetime characteristics of a lithium secondary battery includes carbon nanotubes and silicon particles located in an internal space of the carbon nanotubes. The anode active material is manufactured by removing end caps of the carbon nanotubes to provide carbon nanotubes having lengths in the range of 0.1 to 10 mum, and filling an interior space of the carbon nanotubes with silicon particles. In addition, a lithium secondary battery comprises an anode including an anode collector and the anode active material, a cathode including a cathode collector and cathode active material, and a separator interposed between the anode and the cathode. The anode active material includes carbon nanotubes and silicon particles located in internal spaces of the carbon nanotube. |
