    Abstract: A positive electrode active material that is unlikely to generate defects even when charging and discharging at a high voltage and/or at a high temperature is provided. A positive electrode active material in which crystal structures are unlikely to collapse even when charging and discharging are repeated is also provided. The positive electrode active material contains lithium, cobalt, oxygen, and an additive element. The positive electrode active material includes a surface portion, an inner portion. The positive electrode active material contains the additive element in the surface portion. The surface portion is a region extending from a surface of the positive electrode active material to a depth of 10 nm or less toward the inner portion, and the surface portion and the inner portion are topotaxy. A degree of diffusion of the additive element vary between crystal planes of the surface portion, and the additive element is at least one or two or more selected from nickel, aluminum, and magnesium.

    Abstract: A positive electrode active material with high charge and discharge capacity is provided. A positive electrode active material with high charge and discharge voltage is provided. A positive electrode active material that hardly deteriorates is provided. The positive electrode active material is formed through a plurality of heating steps. The second and subsequent heating steps are preferably performed at a temperature higher than or equal to 742° C. and lower than or equal to 920° C. for longer than or equal to an hour and shorter than or equal to 10 hours. Through the heating, magnesium, fluorine, and the like are distributed in a surface portion of the positive electrode active material with preferable concentrations. The crystal structure of general lithium cobalt oxide is easily broken because it becomes the H1-3 phase type crystal structure when being charged at 4.6 V; on the other hand, the positive electrode active material of the present invention has a small ratio of the H1-3 type crystal structure when being charged at 4.6 V, and has the O3′ type crystal structure where a change in the crystal structure from discharging is relatively small, and thus has excellent cycle performance.
