Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a positive electrode active material for lithium ion secondary batteries, having a crystal structure containing a layered Li 2 MnO 2 structure with a high theoretical electrical capacity as a basic skeleton, and having both a high theoretical electrical capacity and a high open-circuit voltage by increasing an open-circuit voltage to a value of more than 2 V by replacing a part of manganese ions with calcium ions by adding the calcium ions. That is, a positive electrode active material for secondary batteries mainly containing a compound represented by a chemical composition formula Li 2−x Mn 1−y Ca y O 2 , and an electrode and a battery including the same are realized. In the formula, x satisfies 0<x<1.3, and y satisfies 0.2<y<0.9.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A positive electrode active material for secondary batteries comprising a compound represented by a chemical formula Li 2−x Mn 1−y Ca y O 2 , having a layered crystal structure, and satisfying 0.0<x<1.3 and 0.2<y<0.9, wherein the compound has a trigonal crystal structure belonging to a space group P-3m1. 2. The positive electrode active material for secondary batteries according to claim 1 , wherein y is 0.5. 3. A positive electrode active material for secondary batteries, wherein a surface of the positive electrode active material is covered with a compound represented by a chemical formula Li 2−x Mn 1−y Ca y O 2 , having a layered crystal structure, and satisfying 0.0<x<1.3 and 0.2<y<0.9, wherein the compound has a trigonal crystal structure belonging to a space group P-3m1.
