Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

It is an object to provide a positive electrode for nonaqueous electrolyte secondary batteries in which a decrease in the initial charge capacity is suppressed even when a positive electrode active material exposed to the air is used. The positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery contains a lithium transition metal oxide and is formed by mixing the lithium transition metal oxide, tungsten oxide, and a carbonate compound. The tungsten oxide is present on at least a part of a surface of the lithium transition metal oxide, and the mixed carbonate compound is present on a part of a surface of the tungsten oxide.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, comprising a lithium transition metal oxide, wherein the positive electrode is formed by mixing the lithium transition metal oxide, tungsten oxide, and a carbonate compound, the tungsten oxide is present on at least a part of a surface of the lithium transition metal oxide, and the mixed carbonate compound is present on a part of a surface of the tungsten oxide. 2 . The positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the carbonate compound is 0.5 mass % or more and 5 mass % or less relative to the lithium transition metal oxide. 3 . The positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the carbonate compound is lithium carbonate. 4 . The positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 3 , wherein an amount of the lithium carbonate mixed is 50 mass % or more of an amount of lithium carbonate contained in the positive electrode. 5 . The positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the tungsten oxide is WO 3 . 6 . The positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the lithium transition metal oxide is represented by general formula Li 1+x M a O 2+b (in the formula, x, a, and b satisfy x+a=1, −0.2<x≦0.2, and −0.1≦b≦0.1, and M contains at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ni, Co, Mn, and Al). 7 . The positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , comprising a phosphate compound. 8 . The positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 7 , wherein the phosphate compound is present on a part of the surface of the tungsten oxide. 9 . The positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 7 , wherein the phosphate compound is lithium phosphate. 10 . A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising the positive electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 .
