  • Publication number: 20240072253
    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.
