Positive electrode active material for non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery and non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery

Abstract

A positive electrode active material for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to an example of an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a lithium composite oxide as a main component. The ratio of a number of moles of Ni in the lithium composite oxide to a total number of moles of metal elements in the lithium composite oxide other than Li is larger than 30 mol %. The lithium composite oxide includes particles each including aggregated primary particles having a volumetric average particle size of 0.5 μm or more and at least one element selected from W, Mo, Nb, and Ta is dissolved in the lithium composite oxide.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
