Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a positive electrode material, of which characteristics in charge and discharge cycle, quality preservation characteristics and discharge load characteristics are improved, and to provide a secondary battery using it. SOLUTION: A wound electrode 20, made by winding positive 21 and negative electrode bands 22 via separators 23 is settled in a battery can 11. The separator is impregnated with an electrolytic solution. The positive electrode is composed of a positive electrode material, which has a center part formed of a lithium composite oxide, such as LiMn2O4 and a covering part on the surface of the center part. The covering part is formed of an ITO or an electroconductive oxide such as SnO2. Quantity of the covering part is more than 0.001 mol and less than 0.1 mol for the center part of 1 mol. This restrains dissolution of the positive electrode material into the electrolytic solution, with conserved conductivity and prevents precipitation and accumulation of reaction products on the positive electrode due to repeated charging and discharging operation.
