A positive electrode active material for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, being represented by a general formula of LixNiyM1-yO2 (where M includes at least one metal element selected from cobalt (Co) and manganese (Mn), 0.1≦x≦1.2, 0.3<y<1), having a volumetric average particle size (D50) of 7 μm or more and 30 μm or less, and having an average surface roughness of 1.5% or more and 4% or less,
- wherein M, which includes at least one metal element selected from cobalt (Co) and manganese (Mn), further includes at least one other metal element selected from zirconium (Zr), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), chromium (Cr), vanadium (V), cerium (Ce), titanium (Ti), iron (Fe), potassium (K), gallium (Ga), and indium (In).
A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising:
- a positive electrode containing a positive electrode active material;
- a negative electrode;
- and
- a non-aqueous electrolyte,
- wherein the positive electrode active material is represented by a general formula of LixNiyM1-yO2 (where M includes at least one metal element selected from cobalt (Co) and manganese (Mn), 0.1≦x≦1.2, 0.3<y<1), has a volumetric average particle size (D50) of 7 μm or more and 30 μm or less, and has an average surface roughness of 1.5% or more and 4% or less, and
- M, which includes at least one metal element selected from cobalt (Co) and manganese (Mn), further includes at least one other metal element selected from zirconium (Zr), molybdenum (Mo), tungsten (W), chromium (Cr), vanadium (V), cerium (Ce), titanium (Ti), iron (Fe), potassium (K), gallium (Ga), and indium (In).
