The present invention provides a positive
electrode active material for a
lithium-
ion rechargeable battery, wherein the positive
electrode active material contains Li, M', and
oxygen, where M' contains: - Ni at x with respect to the content of M' being between 60.0 mol% and 95.0 mol%; - Co at y with respect to the content of M', where 0 < y < 40.0 mol%; - Mn at z with respect to the content of M', where 0 < z < 70.0 mol%; - D at a with respect to the content of M', where 0 < a < 2.0 mol%, where D includes elements other than Li, O, Ni, Co, Mn, F, W, and B; - F at b with respect to the content of M', where b > 0, preferably between 0.1 mol% and 4.0 mol%; - W at c with respect to the content of M' being between 0.1 mol% and 4.0 mol%; - B at e with respect to the content of M', where 0 < e < 4.0 mol%; and, - where x, y, z, a, e, and c are measured by
inductively coupled plasma-
optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES), - where b is measured by
ion chromatography (IC), - where x + y + z + a + b + c + e = 100.0 mol%, and where the positive
electrode active material has an F content F defined by formula (I) A and a W content W defined by formula (II) A , where the positive electrode active material has an F content F B and a W content W B , where F B and W B are determined by XPS analysis, where F B and W B [[ID=I6]]are each expressed as a
mole fraction compared to the sum of the mole fractions of Co, Mn, Ni, F, W, and B measured by X-
ray photoelectron
spectroscopy, where the ratio F B / F A = 1.0, where the ratio W B / W A > 1.0.
