Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is obtained using a lithium composite oxide having a layered structure in a positive electrode active substance. An increase in resistance following repeated charging and discharging is suppressed. The battery includes a positive electrode provided with a positive electrode active substance layer, a negative electrode and a non-aqueous electrolyte. The positive electrode active substance layer contains a porous particle lithium composite oxide having a layered structure. The average void ratio of the porous particle is not less than 12% but not more than 50%, and it contains two or more voids having diameters that are at least 8% of its particle diameter. The surface of the porous particle is provided with a coating of lithium tungstate. The coverage ratio of the surface of the porous particle by the lithium tungstate is not less than 10% but not more than 65%.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising a positive electrode, a negative electrode and a non-aqueous electrolyte, wherein the positive electrode is provided with a positive electrode active substance layer, the positive electrode active substance layer contains a lithium composite oxide having a layered structure, the lithium composite oxide includes a porous particle, the average void ratio of the porous particle is not less than 12% but not more than 50%, the porous particle contains two or more voids having diameters that are each at least 8% of the particle diameter of the porous particle, the surface of the porous particle is provided with a coating of lithium tungstate, and the coverage ratio of the surface of the porous particle by the lithium tungstate is not less than 10% but not more than 65%. 2. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the coverage ratio of the surface of the porous particle by the lithium tungstate is not less than 20% but not more than 42%. 3. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the lithium composite oxide having the layered structure is a lithium nickel cobalt manganese-based composite oxide.
