The invention provides a polyanion-based positive active material which can improve storage stability (especially, high temperature storage stability), charge and discharge cycle performance and the like of a lithium secondary battery, and a lithium secondary battery using the same. The positive active material for a lithium ion secondary battery contains lithium iron cobalt phosphate represented by the general formula: Li y Fe (1-x) Co x PO 4 (0 < x ‰¤ 0.019, 0 ‰¤ y ‰¤ 1.2). By using the positive active material for a lithium secondary battery, high temperature storage stability and charge and discharge cycle performance can be improved in comparison with a case where Li y FePO 4 containing no Co is used. By using the positive active material, a lithium ion secondary battery can be suitable for applications in fields of electric automobiles and industrial batteries in which long lives, high capacities, and high output powers are required. |
