Title:
POSITIVE ELECTRODE ACTIVE MATERIAL FOR NONAQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE SECONDARY BATTERY, METHOD FOR PRODUCING SAME, AND NONAQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE SECONDARY BATTERY USING SAME
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/089958
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed are: a positive electrode active material for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, which has high capacity and excellent thermal stability and is composed of lithium-nickel complex oxide; a commercially suitable method for producing the positive electrode active material for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery; and a highly safe nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery.
Specifically disclosed is a positive electrode active material for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, which is composed of lithium-nickel complex oxide having the composition formula (1) below. The amount of lithium present in the surface of the lithium-nickel complex oxide is not more than 0.10% by mass. The positive electrode active material is obtained by washing a fired powder with water within a temperature range of 10-40˚C, and then filtering and drying the resulting powder.
LibNi1-aM1aO2 (1)
(In the formula, M1 represents at least one element selected from among transition metal elements other than Ni, group 2 elements and group 13 elements; a satisfies 0.01 ≤ a ≤ 0.5; and b satisfies 0.85 ≤ b ≤ 1.05.)
