Abstract

L'invention concerne un matériau actif d'électrode positive conçu de façon à présenter un oxyde de métal de transition comprenant du lithium en tant que composant principal, la porosité déterminée à partir d'une image en coupe transversale des particules du matériau actif d'électrode positive étant de 20 % ou plus. Le matériau actif d'électrode positive présente des pores qui sont en communication depuis la surface des particules jusqu'à l'intérieur des particules, dépassant une longueur correspondant à 1/6 du diamètre des grains. Le diamètre des grains est le diamètre d'un cercle circonscrit de la particule dans l'image en coupe transversale des particules du matériau actif d'électrode positive.
