And reaction in a positive electrode active material advances rapidly, and an output characteristic improves.
- the diffusion of lithium ions is such that the average secondary particle diameter r1 of the first positive electrode active material is smaller than the average secondary particle diameter r2 of the second positive electrode active material, and the first positive electrode active material is the second positive electrode active material. It is thought to be caused by covering the substance.
- Example 7 the output characteristics of Example 7 are greatly improved as compared with Example 6. Details of this reason are not clear, but can be considered as follows. It is considered that the output characteristics are improved because the FWHM110 of the positive electrode active material is increased to reduce the crystallite size and the Li ion diffusion distance.

Therefore, it is preferable that the second positive electrode active material also has a short lithium ion diffusion distance.
- the FWHM 110 may be regulated to 0.1 ° to 0.3 °. preferable. If it is such a range, even if it uses a positive electrode active material with low cobalt content, an output characteristic can be improved.
