Abstract

The invention provides an electrode capable of realizing a secondary battery capable of displaying high energy density, excellent rapid charging and discharging performance and long service life, thesecondary battery provided with the electrode, a battery pack provided with the secondary battery, and a vehicle equipped with the battery pack. According to one approach, the electrode is provided. The electrode includes an active material-containing layer which contains an active material. The active material includes a plurality of primary particles containing a niobium-titanium composite oxide. For each of 100 primary particles among the plurality of primary particles, a concavo-convex shape coefficient FU is calculated according to formula (1), and the average value of the calculated concavo-convex shape coefficients FU is 0.70 or more. In formula (1), l represents the outer circumference of a projected cross-section of each primary particle, and a represents the cross-sectional areaof the projected cross-section of each primary particle. The 100 primary particles have a particle diameter that is 0.2-4 times the value of the average particle diameter determined from a particle size distribution diagram of the plurality of primary particles obtained by a laser diffraction scattering method.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to an electrode, a secondary battery, a battery pack, and a vehicle. Background technique [0002] In recent years, research and development of secondary batteries such as non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries such as lithium ion secondary batteries as high energy density batteries has been actively carried out. Secondary batteries such as nonaqueous electrolyte secondary batteries are expected to be used as power sources for vehicles such as hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles, uninterruptible power supplies for mobile phone base stations, and the like. Therefore, in addition to high energy density, secondary batteries are also required to be excellent in other performances such as rapid charge and discharge performance and long-term reliability. For example, a secondary battery that can be rapidly charged and discharged not only greatly shortens the charging time, but also improves the pow...
