Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention provides a method for producing a positive electrode active material for lithium ion battery, having excellent tap density, at excellent production efficiency, and a positive electrode active material for lithium ion battery. The method for producing a positive electrode active material for lithium ion battery including a step of conducting a main firing after increasing mass percent of all metals in lithium-containing carbonate by 1% to 105% compared to the mass percent of all metals before a preliminary firing, by conducting the step of a preliminary firing to the lithium-containing carbonate, which is a precursor for positive electrode active material for lithium ion battery, with a rotary kiln.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method for producing a positive electrode active material for lithium ion battery comprising: conducting a preliminary firing of a precursor containing lithium-containing carbonate, which is a precursor for positive electrode active material for lithium ion battery, with a rotary kiln, to generate a preliminary fired material, wherein the preliminary firing increases mass percent of all metals in the precursor containing lithium-containing carbonate by 50% to 97% compared to the mass percent of all metals before the preliminary firing; and conducting a main firing of only the preliminary fired material. 2. The method for producing a positive electrode active material for lithium ion battery of claim 1 , wherein the positive electrode active material is represented by a compositional formula: Li x Ni 1−y M y O 2+α (In the formula, M is one or more kinds selected from Sc, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, Al, Bi, Sn, Mg, Ca, B and Zr, 0.9≦x≦1.2, 0<y≦0.7, and 0.05≦α). 3. The method for producing a positive electrode active material for lithium ion battery of claim 2 , wherein M is one or more kinds selected from Mn and Co.
