Patent ID: 8580435

Claim:
A nonaqueous electrolyte battery, comprising: a positive electrode comprising at least one active material selected from the group consisting of manganese dioxide, iron oxide, copper oxide, nickel oxide, lithium manganese composite oxide, lithium nickel composite oxide, lithium cobalt composite oxide, lithium nickel cobalt composite oxide, lithium manganese cobalt composite oxide, spinel type lithium manganese nickel composite oxide, lithium phosphor oxide having an olivine structure, iron sulfate, vanadium oxide, and lithium nickel cobalt manganese composite oxide; a negative electrode comprising a compound having a crystal structure of monoclinic titanium dioxide, of which a highest intensity peak detected by an X-ray powder diffractometry using a Cu-Kα radiation source is a peak of a (001) plane, (002) plane, or (003) plane; and a half-width (2θ) of the highest intensity peak falls within a range of 0.5 degree to 4 degrees; and a nonaqueous electrolyte.
