Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell in which heat generation is suppressed. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell according to the invention has a positive electrode including positive electrode active material particles and a negative electrode including negative electrode active material particles. The negative electrode active material particles are carbon-black-adhered carbon-based negative electrode active material particles which are constituted by a carbon material having a graphite structure in at least part thereof and which have carbon black (CB) particles that have adhered to at least part of a surface portion. The positive electrode active material particles are of a hollow structure having a shell and a hollow portion. The average short diameter A of the CB particles in the carbon-black-adhered carbon-based negative electrode active material particles and an average inner diameter B of the hollow portions in the positive electrode active material particles fulfill the relationship: 1.2≦B/A≦260.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell comprising: a positive electrode in which a positive electrode active material layer including positive electrode active material particles is formed on a positive electrode collector; a negative electrode in which a negative electrode active material layer including negative electrode active material particles is formed on a negative electrode collector; and a nonaqueous electrolytic solution, wherein the negative electrode active material particles are carbon-black-adhered carbon-based negative electrode active material particles which are constituted by a carbon material having a graphite structure in at least part thereof and which have carbon black (CB) particles that have adhered to at least part of a surface portion; the positive electrode active material particles are of a hollow structure having a shell and a hollow portion formed inside the shell; and an average short diameter A of the CB particles in the carbon-black-adhered carbon-based negative electrode active material particles and an average inner diameter B of the hollow portions in the positive electrode active material particles fulfill the following relationship: 1.2 ≦B/A≦ 260. 2. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell according to claim 1 , wherein the average short diameter A of the CB particles in the carbon-black-adhered carbon-based negative electrode active material particles and the average inner diameter B of the hollow portions in the positive electrode active material particles fulfill the following relationship: 68 ≦B/A≦ 138.
