Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A cathode active material with high durability and a lithium ion secondary battery. The cathode active material is a cathode active material represented by a general formula Li(1+a)NixCoyMnzWtO2 (−0.05≤a≤0.2, x=1−y−z−t, 0≤y<1, 0≤t<1, 0<t≤0.03), wherein the cathode active material satisfies the following formula (1):σ1/t1≤0.92  (1)where t1 is an element concentration average of insides and grain boundaries of primary particles of a W element, and σ1 is an element concentration standard deviation of the insides and grain boundaries of the primary particles of the W element.
