<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery using lithium-manganese composite oxide as positive electrode active material, having superior high-temperature charge storage characteristics and charge-discharge cycling characteristics and enhanced safety in the event of overcharging. <P>SOLUTION: The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes: a positive electrode plate provided with a positive electrode mixture containing positive electrode active material; a negative electrode plate; a nonaqueous electrolyte; and a pressure-sensitive safety mechanism that is actuated by rise in internal pressure. The positive electrode active material contains lithium-manganese composite oxide containing 10 to 61 mass% of the element manganese. The positive electrode mixture contains lithium carbonate or calcium carbonate, and lithium phosphate. The nonaqueous electrolyte contains an organic additive made of at least one selected from among biphenyl, a cycloalkyl benzene compound, and a compound having quaternary carbon adjacent to a benzene ring. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
