Abstract:
A positive electrode active material for lithium ion secondary battery includes: active material particles including one or more compounds including Li and a transition metal; and a coating layer coating at least a part of a surface of the active material particles. The coating layer includes at least one of graphene or multilayer graphene The coating layer has a Raman spectrum with a G band (a peak of 1530 cm−1 to 1630 cm−1), a D band (a peak of 1300 cm−1 to 1400 cm−1), and a 2D band (a peak of 2650 cm−1 to 2750 cm−1). At least the intensity of the 2D band normalized by the intensity of the G band (2Dint/Gint) satisfies 0.05≦2Dint/Gint.
