Positive electrode active material and nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery

摘要

The present invention provides a positive electrode active material containing a lithium-containing composite metal oxide having a composition represented by formula (1) given below:LiMgxM1-xPO4 (1)where M is at least one kind of an element selected from the group consisting of Co and Ni, and the molar ratio x is larger than 0.5 and smaller than 0.75, i.e., 0.5<x<0.75.
