Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

To provide a method of forming a positive electrode active material with high productivity. To provide a manufacturing apparatus capable of forming a positive electrode active material with high productivity. Provided is a method of forming a positive electrode active material including lithium, a transition metal, oxygen, and fluorine. An adhesion preventing step is performed during heating of an object. Examples of the adhesion preventing step include stirring by rotating a furnace during the heating, stirring by vibrating a container containing an object during the heating, and crushing performed between the plurality of heating steps. By these manufacturing methods, a positive electrode active material having favorable distribution of an additive at the surface portion can be formed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A mesh belt kiln successively processing an object contained in a container, comprising a kiln main body, a mesh belt, and an adhesion preventing unit, wherein the kiln main body has a tunnel-like shape, wherein the mesh belt is configured to transfer the container passing through the kiln main body, and wherein the adhesion preventing unit is a unit which vibrates the container. 2 . A mesh belt kiln successively processing an object contained in a container, comprising a kiln main body, a mesh belt, and an adhesion preventing unit, wherein the kiln main body has a tunnel-like shape, wherein the mesh belt is configured to transfer the container passing through the kiln main body, and wherein the adhesion preventing unit is a device which is provided under the mesh belt and has unevenness for vibrating the container. 3 . The mesh belt kiln according to claim 1 , wherein a length of the adhesion preventing unit is substantially the same as that of the kiln main body. 4 . The mesh belt kiln according to claim 2 , wherein a length of the adhesion preventing unit is substantially the same as that of the kiln main body.
