Abstract: The object of the present invention is to improve the roundness of nickel-manganese composite hydroxide particles obtained by a crystallization process, and to improve the filling characteristic of cathode active material produced using the nickel-manganese composite hydroxide particles as a precursor. A reaction aqueous solution is formed by supplying a raw material aqueous solution including at least Ni and Mn, an aqueous solution including an ammonium-ion donor, and an alkali solution into a reaction tank, and mixing, then nickel-manganese composite hydroxide particles are crystallized. When doing this, the oxygen concentration inside the reaction tank is controlled to be 3.0% by volume or greater, the temperature of the reaction aqueous solution is controlled to be 35° C. to 60° C., and the nickel-ion concentration is controlled to be 1,000 mg/L or greater. As a result, nickel-manganese composite hydroxide particles are obtained that include secondary particles formed by an aggregation of plural primary particles and expressed by the general formula: NixMnyMt(OH)2+α (where 0.05≤x≤0.95, 0.05≤y≤0.95, 0≤t≤0.20, x+y+t=1, 0≤α≤0.5, and M is one or more elements selected from among Co, Ti, V, Cr, Zr, Nb, Mo, Hf, Ta and W); and the average value of the roundness of cathode active material having a particle size that is 70% the average particle size or more is 0.82 or greater, and the tap density is 2.20 g/cm3 or greater.

Abstract: Provided is a cathode active material for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery that improves the cycling characteristic and high-temperature storability without impairing the charge/discharge capacity and the output characteristics. A nickel cobalt containing composite hydroxide is obtained by using a batch type crystallization method in which a raw material aqueous solution that includes Ni, Co and Mg is supplied in an inert atmosphere to a reaction aqueous solution that is controlled so that the temperature is within the range 45° C. to 55° C., the pH value is within the range 10.8 to 11.8 at a reference liquid temperature of 25° C., and the ammonium-ion concentration is within the range 8 g/L to 12 g/L. An Al-coated composite hydroxide that is expressed by the general formula: Ni1-x-y-zCoxAlyMgz(OH)2 (where, 0.05≤x≤0.20, 0.01≤y≤0.06, and 0.01≤z≤0.03) is obtained by mixing a slurry that includes the nickel cobalt containing composite hydroxide with a coating aqueous solution that includes Al to form a mixed aqueous solution, and coating the secondary particles with a coating film that includes Al or an Al compound.
