Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery that does not undergo a decrease in discharge capacity in low-temperature discharge during charge and discharge after the battery is left standing at high temperature in a charged state, for example. The positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a positive electrode active material. The positive electrode active material includes a mixture of lithium nickel cobalt manganate and lithium cobaltate having a compound adhered to part of a surface thereof, the compound containing fluorine and at least one selected from zirconium, magnesium, titanium, aluminum, and a rare earth element; and a ratio of the lithium nickel cobalt manganate relative to a total amount of the positive electrode active material is 1% by mass or more and less than 70% by mass.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, the positive electrode comprising a positive electrode active material, wherein the positive electrode active material includes a mixture of lithium nickel cobalt manganate and lithium cobaltate having a compound adhered to part of a surface thereof, the compound containing fluorine and at least one selected from zirconium, magnesium, titanium, aluminum, and a rare earth element; and a ratio of the lithium nickel cobalt manganate relative to a total amount of the positive electrode active material is 3% by mass or more and less than 50% by mass. 2 . The positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the lithium nickel cobalt manganate relative to the total amount of the positive electrode active material is 5% by mass or more and 40% by mass or less. 3 . The positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the ratio of the lithium nickel cobalt manganate relative to the total amount of the positive electrode active material is 5% by mass or more and 30% by mass or less. 4 . The positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the compound contains fluorine and a rare earth element. 5 . The positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the compound contains fluorine and at least one element selected from erbium, samarium, neodymium, and lanthanum. 6 . The positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the compound contains fluorine and zirconium. 7 . The positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 6 , wherein the compound containing fluorine and zirconium contains ZrF 4 or Li 2 ZrF 6 . 8 . A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising the positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , a negative electrode, and an electrolyte.
