| 摘要 |
The present invention provides a positive electrode active material that has rate characteristics suitable for nonaqueous electrolyte batteries and particularly nonaqueous electrolyte secondary batteries, a method by which this positive electrode active material can be easily mass produced, and a high-performance nonaqueous electrolyte battery that has a positive electrode active material obtained by this method. The present invention relates to a method of producing a positive electrode active material, the method comprising a step of mixing a carbon source with lithium manganese phosphate LiMnPO 4 or a compound LiMn 1-x M x PO 4 (where, 0 ‰ x < 1 and M is at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Co, Ni, Fe, Zn, Cu, Ti, Sn, Zr, V, and Al) containing lithium manganese phosphate LiMnPO 4 as a solid solution composition, and heat treating the obtained mixture under an inert gas atmosphere. |
