  • Patent number: 11955630
    Abstract: A positive electrode active material according to the present disclosure includes: a lithium composite oxide which includes Mn and at least one selected from the group consisting of F, Cl, and N, and S. The lithium composite oxide has a crystalline structure which belongs to the space group Fd-3m, and a relationship 1.40?intensity ratio IMn1/IMn2?1.90 is satisfied. The intensity ratio IMn1/IMn2 is a ratio of an intensity IMn1 to an intensity IMn2. The intensity IMn1 and the intensity IMn2 are intensities of a first proximity peak and a second proximity peak, respectively, of the Mn in a radial distribution function of the Mn included in the lithium composite oxide.

  • Patent number: 11233237
    Abstract: A positive electrode active material contains a lithium composite oxide containing fluorine and oxygen. The lithium composite oxide satisfies 1<Zs/Za<8, where Zs represents a first ratio of a molar quantity of fluorine to a total molar quantity of fluorine and oxygen in XPS of the lithium composite oxide, and Za represents a second ratio of a molar quantity of fluorine to a total molar quantity of fluorine and oxygen in an average composition of the lithium composite oxide. An XRD pattern of the lithium composite oxide includes a first maximum peak within a first range of 18° to 20° at a diffraction angle 2? and a second maximum peak within a second range of 43° to 46° at the diffraction angle 2?.
