A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery is provided that uses as a positive electrode active material a low-cost lithium-containing transition metal composite oxide containing Ni and Mn as its main components, to improve the output power characteristics so that it can be used suitably for an electric power source for, for example, hybrid electric vehicles. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery has a positive electrode (11) containing a positive electrode active material, a negative electrode (12) containing a negative electrode active material, and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution (14) in which a solute is dissolved in a non-aqueous solvent. In the positive electrode active material, Nb2O5 in which the amount of niobium is 0.5 mol % with respect to the total amount of the transition metals and TiO2 in which the amount of titanium is 0.5 mol % with respect to the total amount of the transition metals are disposed on a surface of Li1.06Ni10.56Mn10.38O2. |
