[0098]Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail by way of Examples, but the present invention is not any more limited to these Examples.

[0099]

[0100]Lithium carbonate (average particle diameter: 5.7 μm), tricobalt tetraoxide (average particle diameter: 2.5 μm), titanium dioxide (average particle diameter: 0.4 μm) and calcium sulfate (average particle diameter: 7.3 μm) were weighed and fully mixed by a household mixer to thereby obtain a raw material mixture in which the molar ratio of Li / Co was 1.04; Ti / Co, 0.01; and Ca / Co, 0.0006.

[0101]Then, the obtained raw material mixture was fired at 1,050° C. for 5 hours in the air in an alumina bowl. After the finish of the firing, the fired product was crushed and classified to thereby obtain a lithium cobalt composite oxide particle containing 1.0% by mol of Ti and 0.06% by mol of Ca with respect to Co.

[0108]In each Example, the LCO particle 1a or 1b described in Table 1 was used, and the LCO particle 1a or 1b and the above MgF2 and AlF3 were weighed so that the amounts of the inorganic fluoride particles added became amounts indicated in a first step of Table 3, and fully mixed by a household mixer.

[0109]Then, the mixture was subjected to a heat treatment (at 600° C. for 5 hours) in the air indicated in a second step of Table 3 to thereby prepare a positive electrode active substance sample.

[0110]The LCO particle 1b described in Table 1 was used, and the LCO particle 1b and the above MgF2 and AlF3 were weighed so that the amounts of the inorganic fluoride particles added became amounts indicated in the first step of Table 3; and water was further added to thereby prepare a 40 mass % slurry; and the slurry was fully stirred and mixed toy a stirrer.

[0111]Then, the slurry was subjected to a spray drying treatment by a spray drying machine whose exhaust temperature was regulated to 120° C. to thereby obtain a dried powder.

[0112]Then, the dried powder was subjected to a heat treatment (at 600° C. for 5 hours) in the air indicated in the second step of Table 3 to thereby prepare a positive electrode active substance sample.

Abstract

The positive electrode active substance for a lithium secondary battery includes a mixture of a titanium-containing lithium cobalt composite oxide particle and an inorganic fluoride particle. The method for producing a positive electrode active substance for a lithium secondary battery includes a first step of subjecting a titanium-containing lithium cobalt composite oxide particle and an inorganic fluoride particle to a mixing treatment to thereby obtain a mixture of the titanium-containing lithium cobalt composite oxide particle and the inorganic fluoride particle. The lithium secondary battery uses, as a positive electrode active substance, the positive electrode active substance for a lithium secondary battery of the present invention.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a positive electrode active substance for a lithium secondary battery, a method for producing the same, and a lithium secondary battery using the positive electrode active substance.BACKGROUND ART[0002]In recent years, along with rapid progress of making household appliances portable and cordless, lithium ion secondary batteries have been put in practical use as power sources of small electronic devices such as laptop personal computers, mobile phones and video cameras. With regard to the lithium ion secondary batteries, since Mizushima et al. reported in 1980 that lithium cobaltate is useful as a positive electrode active substance of a lithium ion secondary battery, research and development of lithium-based composite oxides has been actively progressed and many proposals have been made.[0003]Lithium secondary batteries using lithium cobaltate, however, have a problem of deterioration of cycle characteristics due to dissolving-o...
