Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention relates to positive electrode active substance particles for non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries, comprising an oxide having a spinel structure and comprising at least Li and Mn as main components and an oxide comprising at least Li and Zr, in which the oxide comprising at least Li and Zr forms a mixed phase comprising two or more phases, and a content of the oxide comprising at least Li and Zr in the positive electrode active substance particles is 0.1 to 4% by weight. The present invention provides positive electrode active substance particles for non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries which are excellent in high-temperature characteristics and a process for producing the positive electrode active substance particles, and a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. Positive electrode active substance particles for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, comprising: an oxide having a spinel structure and comprising at least Li and Mn; and an oxide comprising at least Li and Zr, wherein the oxide comprising at least Li and Zr forms a mixed phase comprising two or more phases, and a content of the oxide comprising at least Li and Zr in the positive electrode active substance particles is 0.1 to 4% by weight, and wherein the mixed phase of the oxide comprising at least Li and Zr comprises (i) a first phase comprising Li 2 ZrO 3 and (ii) a second phase comprising at least one other phase selected from the group consisting of Li 4 ZrO 4 , Li 6 Zr 2 O 7 and Li 8 ZrO 6 , and a ratio of the first phase to the second phase in the mixed phase is 99:1 to 92:8. 2. The positive electrode active substance particles for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the oxide comprising at least Li and Zr has a crystallite size of 100 to 600 nm. 3. A process for producing the positive electrode active substance particles for non aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery as claimed in claim 1 , comprising the steps of: mixing the lithium/manganese composite oxide having a spinel structure and comprising at least Li and Mn with 0.1 to 4% by weight of the oxide comprising at least Li and Zr. 4. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery using the positive electrode active substance particles as claimed in claim 1 .
