Lithium transition metal composite oxides with a high Ni content contribute to high battery capacity, but when used as a positive electrode active material, it is known that side reactions with the electrolyte tend to occur, especially in high SOC (State Of Charge) conditions, because there is a lot of highly reactive Ni 4+ on the particle surface. As a result, the deposition of decomposition products and elution of transition metals occur in the positive electrode, and durability tends to decrease.

- the volume-based median diameter (D50) of the complex oxide (Z) is, for example, 3 ⁇ m to 30 ⁇ m, preferably 5 ⁇ m to 25 ⁇ m. Since the complex oxide (Z) is a secondary particle formed by agglomeration of primary particles, the D50 of the complex oxide means the D50 of the secondary particles.

導電助剤として、平均粒径(平均長径)が19nm、平均アスペクト比が1.7倍であるアセチレンブラック(AB-1)、分散剤としてポリビニルピロリドン(PVP)とを用いた。導電助剤と分散剤とを、10:1の質量比でドライブレンドした粉末をN-メチル-2-ピロリドン(NMP)に添加し、ボールミルを用いて分散することにより、導電助剤が約10質量%の導電助剤分散液(AB-1分散液)を得た。
