Patent ID: 11831013

Abstract:
The positive electrode active material for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure is characterized in having a Ni-containing lithium transition metal oxide having a layered structure; the proportion of Ni in the lithium transition metal oxide being 91 to 96 mol % relative to the total number of moles of metal elements excluding Li; a transition metal being present in the Li layer of the layered structure at an amount of 1 to 2.5 mol % relative to the total number of moles of transition metals in the Ni-containing lithium transition metal oxide; and the Ni-containing lithium transition metal oxide being such that the half width n of the diffraction peak for the (208) plane in an X-ray diffraction pattern obtained by X-ray diffraction is 0.30°≤0≤0.50°.
