る。[0005] Among secondary batteries, lithium secondary batteries using a non-aqueous electrolyte are particularly attracting attention because of their high voltage, light weight, and high energy density. The cathode material of this secondary battery is made of a conductive polymer such as polyaniline, polyacene, polyparaphenylene, Li x CoO 2 ,
Representative examples include Li x NiO 2 , Li x Mn 2 O 4 , complex oxides obtained by substituting these transition metals with other transition metals, alkaline earth metals, metalloids, etc., and chalcogenite compounds such as TiS 2 and MoS 2. It is. However, all of them have a disadvantage that the resistance of the material itself is high. Therefore, by adding a conductive agent to the positive electrode active material, electron conductivity is increased, and characteristics as the positive electrode active material are developed. Conventionally,
In order to achieve higher energy density or higher output density of a lithium secondary battery using a non-aqueous electrolyte, attempts have been made to improve the conductive agent of the positive electrode. For example, graphite having a porosity of 5 to 40% is used as a conductive agent (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-1303).

り見出されていない。By using graphite having a porosity of 5 to 40% as a conductive agent, the resistance of the electrode can be reduced without exfoliating the active material from the substrate. However, the reason why the resistance of the electrode can be reduced is that the binder is absorbed into the pores of the graphite and does not cover the surface of the active material, and the electrode resistance is reduced by controlling the distribution of the binder in the electrode. Has its own limitations. The same applies to the case where a material having d (002) larger than 3.358 ° is used. When d (002) is large, the binder penetrates between the layers, so that the electrode resistance is reduced. Oil absorption 50ml / 100
The same applies when using carbon black in an amount of at least 300 g / 100 g. In these conventional methods, by controlling the distribution of the binder in the electrode, the resistance of the electrode is reduced without the active material peeling from the substrate, and the resistance is not drastically reduced. Effective methods for increasing the energy density or the output density of the semiconductor have not been found.

And at least one kind of graphite having an ash content of 0.08% or less and a La of 400 ° or more. The graphite used in the present invention is artificial graphite, natural graphite,
Various graphites such as massive graphite, flaky graphite, expanded graphite, specially treated graphite, pitch-based graphite, and coke-based graphite are exemplified. Of these graphites, those having an ash content of 0.08% or less and La of 400% or more are preferred, more preferably 0.05% or less of ash content and 500% or more of La, and most preferably an ash content of 0.5% or more. Not more than 02% and La
Is 600 ° or more. When the ash content is more than 0.08%, these impurities react with lithium in the positive electrode active material to decrease the amount of lithium, so that the energy density of the positive electrode active material decreases. In addition, since the reaction product of the impurity and lithium is an insulating substance, the resistance of the electrode increases and the output density decreases. When La is smaller than 400 °, the electron conductivity of graphite decreases, so that the electrode resistance cannot be reduced, and the energy density and the output density also decrease.

い。In the battery and the positive electrode of the present invention, a conductive agent containing at least one kind of graphite contains carbon black having an ash content of not more than 0.08% and a specific surface area of not less than 50 m 2 / g in an amount of from 5% by weight to 75% by weight. % Is used. The carbon black used in the present invention includes acetylene black, Ketjen black, furnace black and the like. Of these carbon blacks, those having an ash content of not more than 0.08% and a specific surface area of not less than 50 m 2 / g are preferable, and more preferably having an ash content of not more than 0.05% and a specific surface area of 200 m 2 / g.
As described above, most preferably, the ash content is 0.02% or less, and the specific surface area is 350 m 2 / g or more. Ash content is 0.08%
If the amount is larger, these impurities react with lithium in the positive electrode active material to decrease the amount of lithium, so that the energy density of the positive electrode active material decreases. In addition, since the reaction product of the impurity and lithium is an insulating substance, the resistance of the electrode increases and the output density decreases. The specific surface area is 50 m 2 / g
If it is smaller, the binder covers the surface of the positive electrode active material, so that the electrode resistance cannot be reduced and the mixing effect of carbon black cannot be obtained, so that both the energy density and the output density decrease. It is preferable to use, as the conductive agent, a mixture of carbon black and a conductive agent containing at least one kind of graphite in a range of 5% by weight or more and 75% by weight or less. If the mixing amount of carbon black is less than 5% by weight, the electrode resistance cannot be reduced and the mixing effect of carbon black cannot be obtained. On the other hand, if the mixing amount of carbon black is more than 75% by weight, the binding force of the binder is reduced and the active material is peeled off from the substrate, so that the effect of mixing carbon black cannot be obtained.

The prepared mixture was applied to both surfaces of a copper foil having a thickness of 30 μm. The positive and negative electrodes were roll-formed by a press, and the terminals were spot-welded and then vacuum-dried at 150 ° C. for 5 hours. A positive electrode and a negative electrode were laminated with a microporous polypropylene separator interposed therebetween, spirally wound, and inserted into an aluminum battery can. The negative electrode terminal was welded to the battery can, and the positive electrode terminal was welded to the battery lid. As the electrolytic solution, a solution prepared by dissolving 1 mol of LiPF 6 in 1 liter of a mixed solution of ethylene carbonate and diethyl carbonate was used, and the solution was injected into the battery can. The battery cover was swaged to produce a cylindrical battery having a capacity of 1400 mAh.
The battery was charged at 280 mA to 4.2 V and then charged and discharged at a constant current of 280 mA to 2.7 V, and the output density and energy density were evaluated. Table 1 shows the results.
