Patent ID: 10777813

Abstract:
A positive electrode active material for non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery with improved cycle characteristics and high temperature storage characteristics, without impairing an advantage of high capacity which lithium nickel composite oxide inherently possesses. The positive electrode active material for non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes lithium nickel composite oxide represented by a general formula (1): Li1+uNi1−x−y−zCoxMnyMgzO2 (However, u, x, y and z in the formula satisfies 0.015≤u≤0.030, 0.05≤x≤0.20, 0.01≤y≤0.10, 0.01≤z≤0.05, 0.10≤x+y+z≤0.25.), and wherein crystallite diameter is 100 nm to 130 nm. In addition, the positive electrode active material for non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is produced at least by an oxidation roasting step, a mixing step, and a calcining step.
