Abstract

The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery provided by the present invention has a positive electrode 50 that has a positive electrode active material layer 54, a negative electrode 60 that has a negative electrode active material layer 64, and separators 70, 72 interposed between the positive electrode active material layer 54 and the negative electrode active material layer 64. The positive electrode active material layer 54 contains a positive electrode active material and an inorganic phosphate compound that contains an alkali metal and/or an alkaline-earth metal. A phosphate ion scavenger that scavenges a phosphate ion is disposed between the positive electrode active material layer 54 and the negative electrode active material layer 64 and/or in the negative electrode active material layer 64.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising:
a positive electrode comprising a positive electrode active material layer;
a negative electrode comprising a negative electrode active material layer;
a separator interposed between the positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer; and
a nonaqueous electrolyte solution,

wherein
the positive electrode active material layer contains a positive electrode active material and an inorganic phosphate compound that contains an alkali metal and/or an alkaline-earth metal, and
a phosphate ion scavenger that scavenges a phosphate ion is disposed between the positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer and/or in the negative electrode active material layer, and wherein
the inorganic phosphate compound is Li 3 PO 4 , and
the phosphate ion scavenger is at least one metal oxide particle selected from the group consisting of ZrO 2 , TiO 2 , and BaTiO 3 .

2. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein
the ratio (S/A) between the total surface area S [m 2 ] of the metal oxide particles disposed between the positive electrode active material layer and the negative electrode active material layer and/or in the negative electrode active material layer and the total mass A [g] of the Li 3 PO 4 present in the positive electrode active material layer is at least 1.15.

3. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 2 , wherein
the metal oxide particle is present in the negative electrode active material layer, and
the content of the metal oxide particle present in the negative electrode active material layer is not more than 10 mass parts per 100 mass parts of the negative electrode active material.
