Abstract
In a positive electrode of a non-aqueous electrolyte battery, at least one metal oxide selected from the group consisting of titanium dioxide, alumina, zinc oxide, chromium oxide, lithium oxide, nickel oxide, copper oxide and iron oxide is dispersed between particles of an active substance for the positive electrode, whereby a discharge capacity or a discharge-recharge capacity of the non-aqueous electrolyte battery is improved.
Claims3
A method of producing a positive electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, which comprises the steps of:
- (I) a step of producing a mixed solution by adding at least one lithium-containing composite oxide selected from the group consisting of LiCoO2, LiNiO2 and LiMn2O4 and an alkoxide of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of titanium, aluminum, zinc, chromium, lithium, nickel, copper and iron to an organic solvent and mixing them;
- (II) a step of adding water to the mixed solution to produce a metal hydroxide;
- (III) a step of changing the resulting metal hydroxide into a metal oxide by heating and drying a solution containing the metal hydroxide and dispersing the metal oxide between particles of manganese dioxide to produce powder for a positive electrode;
- and
- (IV) a step of shaping the powder for a positive electrode to produce a positive electrode.
