Abstract: Provided is a positive electrode active material for a lithium ion secondary battery having favorable cycle characteristics and high capacity. A covering layer containing aluminum and a covering layer containing magnesium are provided on a superficial portion of the positive electrode active material. The covering layer containing magnesium exists in a region closer to a particle surface than the covering layer containing aluminum is. The covering layer containing aluminum can be formed by a sol-gel method using an aluminum alkoxide. The covering layer containing magnesium can be formed as follows: magnesium and fluorine are mixed as a starting material and then subjected to heating after the sol-gel step, so that magnesium is segregated.

Abstract: A positive electrode active material which can improve cycle characteristics of a secondary battery is provided. Two kinds of regions are provided in a superficial portion of a positive electrode active material such as lithium cobaltate which has a layered rock-salt crystal structure. The inner region is a non-stoichiometric compound containing a transition metal such as titanium, and the outer region is a compound of representative elements such as magnesium oxide. The two kinds of regions each have a rock-salt crystal structure. The inner layered rock-salt crystal structure and the two kinds of regions in the superficial portion are topotaxy; thus, a change of the crystal structure of the positive electrode active material generated by charging and discharging can be effectively suppressed. In addition, since the outer coating layer in contact with an electrolyte solution is the compound of representative elements which is chemically stable, the secondary battery having excellent cycle characteristics can be obtained.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the present invention, a positive electrode active material with high charge and discharge capacity is provided. Alternatively, a positive electrode active material with high charge and discharge voltage is provided. Alternatively, a positive electrode active material with little deterioration is provided. To improve the reliability of the positive electrode active material, the surface of the positive electrode active material is prevented from reacting with an electrolyte solution and being reduced. The provision of a projection on part of the positive electrode active material surface decreases the reduction of the positive electrode active material surface from reacting with the electrolyte solution, thereby improving the cycle performance.

Abstract: In manufacturing a storage battery electrode, a method for manufacturing a storage battery electrode with high capacity and stability is provided.
As a method for preventing a mixture for forming an active material layer from becoming strongly basic, a first aqueous solution is formed by mixing an active material exhibiting basicity with an aqueous solution exhibiting acidity and including an oxidized derivative of a first conductive additive; a first mixture is formed by reducing the oxidized derivative of the first conductive additive by drying the first aqueous solution; a second mixture is formed by mixing a second conductive additive and a binder; a third mixture is formed by mixing the first mixture and the second mixture; and a current collector is coated with the third mixture. The strong basicity of the mixture for forming an active material layer is lowered; thus, the binder can be prevented from becoming gelled.-

Abstract: A positive electrode active material has a small difference in a crystal structure between the charged state and the discharged state. For example, the crystal structure and volume of the positive electrode active material, which has a layered rock-salt crystal structure in the discharged state and a pseudo-spinel crystal structure in the charged state at a high voltage of approximately 4.6 V, are less likely to be changed by charging and discharging as compared with those of a known positive electrode active material. In order to form the positive electrode active material having the pseudo-spinel crystal structure in the charged state, it is preferable that a halogen source such as a fluorine and a magnesium source be mixed with particles of a composite oxide containing lithium, a transition metal, and oxygen, which is synthesized in advance, and then the mixture be heated at an appropriate temperature for an appropriate time.
