    Abstract: A positive electrode active material for lithium-ion secondary batteries comprises Li, Co, O, and optionally M′. M′ comprises Al and/or Ti and optionally one or more elements selected from the group consisting of Ni, Mn, B, Sr, Mg, Nb, W, F, and Zr. A molar ratio of Co to M′+Co (Co/(M′+Co)) is more than 0.90. The positive electrode active material comprises a first LCO powder and a second LCO powder that are both single-crystalline powders. The first LCO powder has a first median particle size D50A of between 12 μm and 25 μm, the second LCO powder has a second median particle size D50B of between 3 μm and 8 μm, and the volume fraction of the second LCO powder relative to the total volume of the positive electrode active material is between 10% and 40%.
