Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a novel positive electrode active material capable of suppressing resistance and improving rate characteristics and cycle characteristics while enhancing lithium ionic conductivity, wherein the surface of particles composed of a spinel-type composite oxide containing Li, Mn, O, and two or more other elements is coated with a lithium ion conductive oxide such as LiNbO3. Proposed is a positive electrode active material for an all-solid-type lithium secondary battery, wherein the surface of present core particles composed of a spinel-type composite oxide containing Li, Mn, O, and two or more other elements is coated with an amorphous compound containing Li, A (A represents one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Ti, Zr, Ta, Nb, and Al), and O; and the molar ratio (Li/A) of Li relative to the A element in the surface, as obtained by XPS, is 1.0 to 3.5.
