Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method for forming a positive electrode active material of a lithium ion secondary battery is provided. In the method for forming a positive electrode active material, a first container that includes a mixture of lithium oxide, fluoride, and a magnesium compound and fluoride that is outside the first container are provided in a heating furnace, and the heating furnace is heated at a temperature higher than or equal to a temperature at which the fluoride is volatilized or sublimated. It is further preferable that the fluoride be lithium fluoride and the magnesium compound be magnesium fluoride.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for forming a positive electrode active material, wherein a first container that includes a mixture of lithium cobalt oxide, a first fluoride, and a magnesium compound and a second fluoride that is outside the first container are provided in a heating furnace, and the heating furnace is heated at a temperature higher than or equal to a temperature at which at least one of the first fluoride or the second fluoride is volatilized or sublimated, wherein the first fluoride and the magnesium compound are different. 2. The method for forming a positive electrode active material according to claim 1 , wherein the first fluoride is lithium fluoride and the second fluoride is lithium fluoride. 3. The method for forming a positive electrode active material according to claim 2 , wherein the heating furnace is heated at higher than or equal to 730° C. and lower than or equal to 1130° C. 4. The method for forming a positive electrode active material according to claim 1 , wherein the magnesium compound is magnesium fluoride. 5. The method for forming a positive electrode active material according to claim 1 , wherein the heating furnace is heated after an atmosphere in the heating furnace is replaced with oxygen. 6. A method for forming a positive electrode active material, wherein a first container that contains a mixture of lithium cobalt oxide, a first fluoride, and a magnesium compound and a second container that includes a second fluoride are provided in a heating furnace, and the heating furnace is heated at a temperature higher than or equal to a temperature at which at least one of the first fluoride or the second fluoride is volatilized or sublimated, wherein the first fluoride and the magnesium compound are different. 7. The method for forming a positive electrode active material according to claim 6 , wherein the first fluoride is lithium fluoride and the second fluoride is lithium fluoride. 8. The method for forming a positive electrode active material according to claim 7 , wherein the heating furnace is heated at higher than or equal to 730° C. and lower than or equal to 1130° C. 9. The method for forming a positive electrode active material according to claim 6 , wherein the magnesium compound is magnesium fluoride.
