Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a positive electrode for nonaqueous electrolyte secondary batteries including a positive electrode mixture layer formed of a positive electrode mixture paste containing a positive electrode active material. The positive electrode active material has a particle diameter of 2 μm or more and less than 7 μm. The positive electrode mixture layer includes a first mixture layer in which a maximum diameter of pores formed between particles of the positive electrode active material is more than 1.0 μm and 5.0 μm or less, and a second mixture layer in which a maximum diameter of the pores is 1.0 μm or less. The second mixture layer is arranged closer to the current collector than the first mixture layer. A ratio of a thickness of the first mixture layer to a thickness of the second mixture layer is more than 0.1 and 1.0 or less.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A positive electrode for nonaqueous electrolyte secondary batteries, comprising: a current collector; and a positive electrode mixture layer formed by applying a positive electrode mixture paste to the current collector, the positive electrode mixture paste containing a positive electrode active material, wherein the positive electrode active material has a particle diameter of 2 μm or more and less than 7 μm, wherein the positive electrode mixture layer includes a first mixture layer in which a maximum diameter of pores formed between particles of the positive electrode active material is more than 1.0 μm and 5.0 μm or less, and a second mixture layer in which a maximum diameter of the pores is 1.0 μm or less, wherein the second mixture layer is arranged closer to the current collector than the first mixture layer, and wherein a ratio of a thickness of the first mixture layer to a thickness of the second mixture layer is more than 0.1 and 1.0 or less. 2. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, comprising: the positive electrode according to claim 1 . 3. The positive electrode for nonaqueous electrolyte secondary batteries according to claim 1 , wherein the pores in the first mixture layer are formed form microbubbles. 4. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, comprising: the positive electrode according to claim 3 .
