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

Abstract

A positive electrode active material for non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries according to an example embodiment of the present invention comprises a lithium transition metal composite oxide having a layered structure and containing not less than 75 mol % of Ni with respect to the total molar quantity of elements excluding Li and O. The lithium transition metal composite oxide is of secondary particles obtained by aggregation of primary particles. A compound represented by the general formula AxByOz (where 1≤x≤2, 1≤y≤5, 4≤z≤9, A is at least one element selected from among Ca and Sr, and B is at least one element selected from among W, Mo, Ti, Si, Nb, and Zr) is adhered at at least the interface between primary particles inside the secondary particles.
