Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a positive electrode active material for an alkali ion secondary battery, the positive electrode active material containing a large amount of a transition metal and enabling operation of the battery. In the method for producing a positive electrode active material for an alkali ion secondary battery, in which the positive electrode active material contains 34 mol % or more of CrO+FeO+MnO+CoO+NiO, the method includes: a step of preparing a positive electrode active material precursor containing crystals; and a step of irradiating the positive electrode active material precursor with light to melt the crystals and amorphize at least a portion of the positive electrode active material precursor.

Abstract: To provide the manufacturing method for a copper and elemental copper free NAO friction material providing an excellent fade resistance and high mechanical strength. [Means to Resolve] This manufacturing method includes the mixing step of mixing the raw friction material compounds to obtain the raw friction material mixture, the kneading step to apply the raw friction material mixture in the sealed type kneader to knead while maintaining the melting temperature of the thermosetting resin in the kneader or higher but lower than the curing temperature (temperature to start curing) under the predetermined pressure to obtain the kneaded raw friction material, the sizing step of sizing the kneaded raw friction material to obtain the raw friction material granulation article, and the hot press molding step of filling the raw friction material sized particles in the molding die to hot press molded by the press machine.
