Positive electrode for nonaqueous secondary battery

A positive electrode for a nonaqueous secondary battery, the positive electrode having an active material layer comprising an active material,

• wherein the active material layer further comprises a compound represented by formula:
• LizNi1-x-yTix(MpLiq)O2
• wherein x represents a positive number less than 0.3;
• y represents a positive number less than 0.25;
• z represents a number from 0.95 to 1.05;
• M represents a polyvalent metal satisfying the relation:
• prM+qrL=54 to 69 pm (where rM represents the ionic radius of M, and rL represents the ionic radius of Li+);
• p represents a positive number;
• q represents a number equal to or greater than 0;
• p and q satisfy the relations:
• p+q=1 and pv+q=3;
• and v represents the valence of the metal M,
• the compound, when analyzed by XRD, showing diffraction peaks assigned to the planes (003) and the (104), the ratio of the area of the peak of the (003) plane to that of the (104) plane being 0.5 to 0.75.
