Abstract: A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery has a positive electrode (1), a negative electrode (2), and a non-aqueous electrolyte. The positive electrode has a positive electrode mixture layer containing a positive electrode active material, a binder agent, and a conductive agent. The positive electrode active material in the positive electrode mixture layer contains an olivine-type lithium-containing metal phosphate represented by the general formula LixMPO4, where M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Co, Ni, Mn, and Fe, and x is 0<x<1.3. The conductive agent in the positive electrode mixture layer is composed of a mixture of carbon particles and carbon fiber.

Abstract: As a negative electrode active material, carbon materials such as natural graphite, artificial graphite, non-graphitized carbon, and cork (charcoal) can be used. Further, a negative electrode comprises an active material layer including a group of particulate negative electrode active materials, and nickel is carried on a surface of the active material layer. Examples of a method of carrying nickel on a negative electrode surface include a method by coating, an evaporation method, and a method of bringing nickel ions into existence in a non-aqueous electrolyte to deposit nickel on a negative electrode surface. The amount of nickel added to the non-aqueous electrolyte is not less than 0.0008 mol/1 nor more than 0.007 mol/1.

Abstract: A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery has a negative electrode, a non-aqueous electrolyte, and a positive electrode containing a positive electrode active material composed of an olivine lithium-containing metal phosphate represented by the general formula LixMPO4, where M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Co, Ni, Mn, and Fe, and 0<x<1.3. The positive electrode active material contains a LixMPO4 aggregate formed by granulating a LixMPO4 having an average particle size of 1 ?m or less in a volumetric particle size distribution by coating the LixMPO4 with a binding agent composed of a carbonaceous substance. The LixMPO4 aggregate has an average particle size of 3 ?m or less in the volumetric particle size distribution and a 90th percentile particle size (D90) of 7 ?m or greater, as measured at the 90th percentile point of the volumetric particle size distribution.

Abstract: Provided is a method for producing an active material for a lithium secondary battery to enable efficient removal of iron impurities, which would become a problem in production of an active material for a lithium secondary battery, and attain a high quality. The method includes removing iron impurities in an active material for a lithium secondary battery by means of magnetic force. With this method, use of a magnetic force-generating device within a recess portion, which composes at least one part of the recess portion, enables efficient removal of only iron impurities. Thus, it is expected that a voltage drop caused by dissolution of iron compounds, i.e. impurities in a positive electrode, and their migration to a negative electrode in a battery, and decreases in charge and discharge efficiencies and a voltage drop owing to precipitation of lithium can be suppressed.
