Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments of the present invention relate to active materials, electrodes, secondary batteries, battery packs, and vehicles. Background technique [0002] In recent years, research and development of secondary batteries such as nonaqueous electrolyte secondary batteries such as lithium ion secondary batteries have been actively carried out as high energy density batteries. Secondary batteries such as non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries are expected to be used as power sources for vehicles such as hybrid electric vehicles and electric vehicles, and uninterruptible power supplies (emergency power supplies) for mobile phone base stations. 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 quickly charged and discharged can not only greatly shorten the charg...
