Problems solved by technology

This causes problems of suppressing the conductivity of the electrode, lowering high-power characteristics, and lowering productivity in the coating step due to an increase in the amount of solvent in the positive electrode mixture
Also, the amount of positive electrode active material decreases, which leads to a decrease in battery capacity

Embodiment 1

[0096] In Example 1, primary particles or secondary particles prepared from primary particles were used as the positive electrode active material. When the secondary particles were used, the ratio of the pore size of the secondary particles to the average particle size of the primary particles was changed to produce a secondary battery, and then the battery characteristics of the secondary battery were examined.

[0097] For secondary particles used as positive electrode active materials, lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4 ) (with an average particle diameter of 50 nm, 100 nm, 150 nm, 200 nm, 300 nm, and 500 nm) are produced as primary particles. In the examples, the term "average particle diameter of primary particles" refers to carbon-coated lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4) The average particle size of the total diameter. The secondary particles are granulated by spray drying and the pore size of the secondary particles is controlled by adjusting the concentration of the so...

Embodiment 2

[0196] In Example 2, primary particles or secondary particles prepared from primary particles were used as the positive electrode active material. The thickness of the positive electrode active material layer was varied at a constant bulk density to produce a secondary battery, and then the DC resistance of the secondary battery was detected.

[0197] In this regard, the average particle diameter of the primary particles and the pore diameter of the secondary particles used in Example 2 were examined in the same manner as described in Example 1.
