Abstract

Suppression of the destruction of particles of positive electrode active material due to the pressing pressure at the time of producing a positive electrode which constitutes an all-solid battery such as an all-solid lithium-ion secondary battery is achieved with a positive electrode active material, thereby inhibiting decrease in a battery capacity. In the positive electrode which contains the positive electrode active material layer containing the positive electrode active material consisting of secondary particles and a solid electrolyte, the average particle diameter of the secondary particles is controlled into 4.9 μm or less, the average particle diameter of the primary particles which constitute the secondary particles is controlled into 1.2 μm or more, and the average particle diameter of the primary particles of the solid electrolyte is controlled into 0.8 μm or less.
