AI Technical Summary
Increasing electrode thickness in non-aqueous electrolyte secondary batteries leads to reduced input/output characteristics and cycle performance due to non-uniform reactions in the thickness direction, indicated by high ionic resistance.
Incorporating a positive electrode active material with a layered structure, secondary particles larger than 8.0 μm, a DBP oil absorption ratio of 0.3 or more to BET specific surface area, and a thickness of 80 μm or more for the positive electrode active material layer to enhance electrolyte retention and ion diffusion.
The solution improves ion diffusion and reaction uniformity within the electrode, reducing ionic resistance and maintaining capacity retention, thereby enhancing battery performance.
