Abstract:
A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery in which, using Li x MO (where M is at least one of transition metals, preferably Co or Ni, and 0.05 & X & 1.10) as a positive electrode active material, the charge and discharge of the battery are performed by doping and dedoping lithium. The battery is provided with a means for shutting off current, which operates with the increase of the pressure of the inside of the battery. The means for shutting off current is operated surely by adding lithium carbonate to the positive electrode active material and by covering a part of the surface of the positive electrode with lithium carbonate. The quantity of lithium carbonate is 0.5-15 wt %, and the specific surface area is preferably 0.1 m /g or more.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress gas evolution in a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery. SOLUTION: A positive active material is manufactured by coating composite oxide particles mainly comprising lithium nicklate with a silicate compound and then conducting heat treatment. In the secondary battery using the positive active material manufactured in the process and having a carbonate ion content of 0.15 wt.% of less, gas evolution in the battery can be suppressed. The heat treatment is conducted at 300-1,200°C. As the silicate compound, colloidal silica is preferably used, 100 pts.wt. composite oxide particles are coated with 0.01-5.0 pts.wt. silicate compound, and heat treatment is conducted.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a positive active material high in charge current capacity and excellent in charge discharge efficiency. SOLUTION: The positive active material is manufactured by adhering a molybdic acid compound to composite oxide particles mainly comprising lithium nickelate and heat-treating them. Preferably, at least one of a sulfuric acid compound, a nitric acid compound, a boric acid compound, and a phosphoric acid compound is adhered to the composite oxide particles together with the molybdic acid compound, and they are heat-treated. A secondary battery using the positive active material manufactured in this process and containing 0.15 wt.% or less carbonate ions suppresses the evolution of gas on the inside of a battery. Heat-treatment is conducted after a mixture of the molybdic acid compound and a compound other than the molybdic acid compound, such as a sulfuric acid compound is adhered to the composite oxide particles. Alternatively, the compound other than the molybdic acid compound, such as the sulfuric acid compound is adhered to the composite oxide particles, they are heat-treated, and then the molybdic acid compound is adhered and they are heat-treated.

SOLUTION: The positive electrode active material is prepared by coating and heating a vanadium compound on composite oxide particles made of lithium nickel oxide as a principal component. It is preferable that it is heated by coating at least one of a sulphuric acid compound, a nitric acid compound, a boric acid compound, and a phosphoric acid compound as well as the vanadium compound on the composite oxide particles.

Heating treatment is carried out after coating on the composite oxide particles by mixing the vanadium compound and a compound such as the sulphuric acid compound excluding the vanadium compound. Furthermore, it is preferable that it is heated after coating a compound such as the sulphuric acid compound excluding the vanadium compound on the composite oxide particles, and then, it is heated after coating the vanadium compound on the composite oxide particles.
