    Abstract: A positive electrode active material in which a discharge capacity decrease due to charge and discharge cycles is suppressed and a secondary battery including the positive electrode active material are provided. A positive electrode active material in which a change in a crystal structure, e.g., a shift in CoO2 layers is small between a discharged state and a high-voltage charged state is provided. For example, a positive electrode active material that has a layered rock-salt crystal structure belonging to the space group R-3m in a discharged state and a crystal structure belonging to the space group P2/m in a charged state where x in LixCoO2 is greater than 0.1 and less than or equal to 0.24 is provided. When the positive electrode active material is analyzed by powder X-ray diffraction, a diffraction pattern has at least diffraction peaks at 2θ of 19.47±0.10° and 2θ of 45.62±0.05°.

    Abstract: A positive electrode active material, which has high capacity and excellent charge and discharge cycle performance, for a lithium-ion secondary battery is provided. The positive electrode active material contains lithium, cobalt, an element X, and fluorine, and includes a region represented by a layered rock-salt structure. The space group of the region is represented by R-3m. The element X is one or more selected from elements that have a property in which ΔE3 obtained by subtracting, from the stabilization energy in the case of substitution of the element at a lithium position in lithium cobalt oxide, the stabilization energy before the substitution is smaller than ΔE4 obtained by subtracting, from the stabilization energy in the case of substitution of the element at a cobalt position in lithium cobalt oxide, the stabilization energy before the substitution. ΔE3 and ΔE4 are calculated by the first-principles calculation.

    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.

    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.
