1. A cathode, comprising:
a cathode current collector; and
a cathode active material layer disposed on a surface of the cathode current collector, wherein the cathode active material layer comprises a first particle and a second particle, the first particle comprising a first secondary particle composed of a third particle, the third particle being a first primary particle, the first particle having an average particle size of 5 μm to 20 μm, the third particle having an average particle size of 600 nm to 700 nm, the second particle comprising a fourth particle and/or a second secondary particle composed of the fourth particle, the fourth particle being a second primary particle, the second particle having an average particle size of 3 μm to 5 μm, the fourth particle having an average particle size of 1 μm to 5 μm; and
wherein a peak intensity ratio of the (003) diffraction peak of the X-ray diffraction of the second particle to the first particle is 1.03 to 1.6, and a half peak width difference of the (003) diffraction peak of the X-ray diffraction of the first particle and the second particle is 0.002° to 0.008°.
