Patent ID: 10770724

Abstract:
Provided is a positive electrode material that allows reducing the resistance of a lithium secondary battery. The positive electrode material for lithium secondary batteries disclosed herein contains positive electrode active material particles each having a layered structure; and at least one conductor selected from the group consisting of a lithium conductor and an electronic conductor, and disposed on a surface of the positive electrode active material particles. In a case where the positive electrode material contains the lithium conductor, the proportion of the lithium conductor disposed at planes other than the (003) plane of the positive electrode active material particle, with respect to the total amount of the lithium conductor, is not less than 50% and not more than 100%. In a case where the positive electrode material contains the electronic conductor the proportion of the electronic conductor disposed at the (003) plane of the positive electrode active material particle, with respect to the total amount of the electronic conductor, is not less than 50% and not more than 100%.
