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.
