- the tap density of the manganese oxide is preferably 1.8 g / cm 3 or more, more preferably 1.9 g / cm 3 or more, and further preferably 2.0 g / cm 3 or more.

- the pore volume ratio of pores having a diameter of 10 ⁇ m or more measured by the mercury intrusion method exceeds 20%, the reactivity with the lithium compound becomes non-uniform. Therefore, the lithium manganese composite oxide using such a manganese oxide having a high pore volume ratio as a raw material has deteriorated secondary battery characteristics, particularly cycle characteristics and output characteristics.

Description
本実施形態のマンガン酸化物は、水銀圧入法によって測定される直径10μm以上の細孔の細孔体積率が20%以下であり、タップ密度が1.6g/cm3以上である。マンガン酸化物のタップ密度は、好ましくは1.8g/cm3以上であり、より好ましくは1.9g/cm3以上であり、さらに好ましくは2.0g/cm3以上である。タップ密度が1.6g/cm3未満ではマンガン酸化物の充填性が低くなる。したがって、このようなマンガン酸化物から得られるリチウムマンガン系複合酸化物の充填性は低くなる。
本実施形態のマンガン酸化物の製造方法について説明する。従来のマンガン酸化物は、充填性及び細孔構造が十分に制御されていなかった。すなわち、従来のマンガン酸化物は、本実施形態のマンガン酸化物のように、高い充填性を有しておらず、細孔分布も制御されていなかった。この様な細孔構造の制御は、マンガン酸化物の結晶生成を制御することによって初めて可能となったものである。
本実施形態のリチウムマンガン系複合酸化物の製造方法は、上述のマンガン酸化物とリチウム及びリチウム化合物の少なくとも一方とを混合する混合工程と、熱処理する加熱工程と、を有する。
