Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A plate-shaped lithium composite oxide is used as a positive electrode of a lithium ion battery. The plate-shaped lithium composite oxide is composed of a plurality of bound primary particles. The plurality of bound primary particles are respectively constituted by a lithium composite oxide having a layered rock-salt structure. An average number of the primary particles disposed in a thickness direction perpendicular to a plate face is less than or equal to 6.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A plate-shaped lithium composite oxide for use of a positive electrode of a lithium ion battery, the plate-shaped lithium composite oxide is composed of a plurality of bound primary particles respectively constituted by a lithium composite oxide having a layered rock-salt structure, wherein: an average number of the primary particles disposed in a thickness direction perpendicular to a plate face is less than or equal to 6. 2 . The plate-shaped lithium composite oxide according to claim 1 , wherein an average equivalent circle diameter of the plurality of bound primary particles is greater than or equal to 10 μm. 3 . The plate-shaped lithium composite oxide according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness in the thickness direction is greater than or equal to 35 μm. 4 . The plate-shaped lithium composite oxide according to claim 1 , wherein the average number of the bound primary particles disposed in the thickness direction is less than or equal to 3. 5 . A method for manufacturing of a plate-shaped lithium composite oxide comprising: forming a transition metal compound green body constituted by a transition metal compound and having a plurality of pores in an inner portion, disposing a lithium source on a principal face of the transition metal compound green body, firing the transition metal compound green body with the lithium source disposed thereon to form a lithium composite oxide sintered body which is composed of a plurality of bound primary particles respectively constituted by a lithium composite oxide having a layered rock-salt structure, and filling lithium into the plurality of pores, and coarsening the plurality of bound primary particles by firing the lithium composite oxide sintered body.
