    Abstract: Provided is a positive-electrode active material for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, including a lithium transition metal composite oxide particle having a layered structure and containing nickel, and an oxide containing lithium and aluminum and an oxide containing lithium and boron adhering to a surface of the lithium transition metal composite oxide particle. The lithium transition metal composite oxide particle includes a secondary particle formed by aggregation of primary particles containing a solid solution of aluminum in a surface layer. The lithium transition metal composite oxide particles have a composition with a difference of more than 0.22 mol % and less than 0.6 mol % between a ratio of the number of moles of aluminum in the solid solution in the surface layer of the primary particles relative to a total number of moles of metal other than lithium and a ratio of the number of moles of aluminum present in a region other than the surface layer of the primary particles relative to the total number of moles of metal other than lithium.

    Abstract: Provided is a positive electrode active material which inhibits a decrease in discharge capacity while improving output in a low SOC region. The positive electrode active material includes: first particles that each consist of a first lithium transition metal composite oxide, the first lithium transition metal composite oxide having a layered structure and having a ratio of a number of moles of nickel to a total number of moles of metals other than lithium in a composition thereof being 0.7 or greater and smaller than 1; second particles that have a volume average particle diameter smaller than a volume average particle diameter of the first particles, the second particles each consisting of a second lithium transition metal composite oxide having a layered structure; and third particles that each consist of a third lithium transition metal composite oxide, the third lithium transition metal composite oxide having a layered structure, having a ratio of number of moles of nickel to total number of moles of metals other than lithium in a composition thereof being 0.4 to 0.6, and having a ratio of a number of moles of cobalt to the total number of moles being 0.35 to 0.55. The first particle content is 60 mass % or higher and lower than 100 mass %, and the third particle content is 10 mass % or lower, to a total content of the first particles, the second particles, and the third particles.
