  • Plural cathodes were prepared in the same way as in Example 1, except preparing a lithium-nickel containing oxide as the second element (Mb) was changed as shown in the Table 2 shown below in the preparation of the lithium-nickel containing composite oxide, and plural non-aqueous liquid electrolyte secondary cells were prepared.

  • the general discharge capacity upkeep ratio following storage at elevated temperatures was found as follows: First, charging/discharging was carried out in a constant temperature vessel maintained at 23° C. to find the initial discharging capacity. It is noted that charging was carried out at a constant current of 1A until the cell voltage reached 4.2V, and subsequently was continued at a constant voltage of 4.2V until the sum total of the discharging time equaled to three hours. The cell was then discharged at a constant current of 0.5 A until the terminal voltage (cut-off voltage) of 3.0 V was reached. This was set as the general charging/discharge condition.
  • the cell then was charged again under this general charging condition and stored for two weeks in an oven maintained at 60° C.
  • the cell then was discharged in a constant temperature vessel of 23° C. once to a terminal voltage of 3.0 V.
  • Ten cycles of the charging/discharge then were carried out under the general charging/discharge condition and the value which was maximum during these ten cycles was adopted as the discharge capacity following storage at the elevated temperatures, and the ratio thereof to the initial discharge capacity was adopted as the general discharge capacity upkeep ratio following storage at elevated temperatures.
  • the cell was stored at 60° C. for two weeks and discharged once to a terminal voltage of 3.0Vin the constant temperature vessel of 23° C., after which the cell was charged at a constant current of 1.5 A to the terminal voltage of 3.0V and subsequently discharged under a high load. From the results of this discharge under a high load, the high load discharge energy following storage at elevated temperatures was found.
  • Example 3 As may be seen from Table 2, the general discharge capacity upkeep ratio following storage at elevated temperatures and the high load discharge energy following storage at elevated temperatures were 90% and not less than 90 Wh, which were higher values as in Example 3. In addition, satisfactory results could be obtained for charging/discharge characteristics at ambient temperatures. Specifically, it was seen that superior high temperature storage characteristics as those in Example 3 could be obtained with use of a manganese-containing oxide in which the first element is changed to an element other than chromium or with use of a lithium nickel composite oxide in which the second element is changed to an element other than cobalt.
  • Plural cathodes were prepared in the same way as in Example 1 except changing the mixing ratio of the lithium-manganese containing composite oxide and the lithium-nickel containing composite oxide as shown in Table 3, and non-aqueous liquid electrolyte secondary cells were prepared using these cathodes.

  • the Examples 3 and 17 to 20 are seen to be excellent both in the discharge capacity upkeep ratio following storage at elevated temperatures and in the high load discharge energy following storage at elevated temperature, which are 88% or higher and 2.90 Wh or higher, respectively.
  • Example 21 with the low mixing ratio of the lithium-manganese composite oxide, the high load discharge energy following storage at elevated temperature is small, whereas, with Example 22 where the mixing ratio of the lithium-nickel composite oxide is low, the capacity upkeep ratio following storage at elevated temperature was low.
