- Aluminum which is one of the additive elements Y, can be present at cobalt sites in the layered rock salt type crystal structure. Since aluminum is a trivalent typical element and does not change its valence, lithium around aluminum does not easily move during charging and discharging.

- Fluorine which is one of the additive elements X, is a monovalent anion, and if part of the oxygen in the surface layer portion 200a is substituted with fluorine, the lithium desorption energy becomes small. This is because the change in the valence of cobalt ions due to desorption of lithium changes from trivalent to tetravalent when fluorine is not present, and from divalent to trivalent when fluorine is present, resulting in different oxidation-reduction potentials. Therefore, when a part of oxygen is substituted with fluorine in the surface layer portion 200a, it can be said that desorption and insertion of lithium ions in the vicinity of fluorine occur smoothly.

However, since the crystal structure is affected not only by x in Li x CoO 2 but also by the number of charge/discharge cycles, charge/discharge current, temperature, electrolyte, etc., x is not necessarily limited to the above range.
- not all of the inside 200b of the positive electrode active material 200 may have the O3' type crystal structure. It may contain other crystal structures, or may be partially amorphous.

- the voltage of the secondary battery is lowered by the potential of the graphite.
- the potential of graphite is about 0.05 V to 0.2 V with respect to the potential of lithium metal. Therefore, in the case of a secondary battery using graphite as a negative electrode active material, it has a similar crystal structure at a voltage obtained by subtracting the potential of graphite from the above voltage.
- lithium is shown to exist at all lithium sites with equal probability, but this is not restrictive. It may exist unevenly at some lithium sites, or may have symmetry such as monoclinic O1 (Li 0.5 CoO 2 ) shown in FIG. 17, for example.
- the lithium distribution can be analyzed, for example, by neutron diffraction.
- the crystal structure of the O3′ type is similar to the crystal structure of the CdCl 2 type, although it has lithium randomly between the layers.
- the crystal structure similar to this CdCl2 type is close to the crystal structure when lithium nickelate is charged to Li0.06NiO2 , but pure lithium cobaltate or a layered rock salt type positive electrode active material containing a large amount of cobalt is known not to normally adopt a CdCl2 - type crystal structure.
- the concentration gradient of the additive element A is the same at multiple locations on the surface layer portion 200 a of the positive electrode active material 200 .

- the (001) plane where the CoO2 layer exists on the surface is relatively stable.
- the main diffusion paths of lithium ions during charging and discharging are not exposed on the (001) plane.
- the surface other than the (001) orientation and the surface layer portion 200a are important regions for maintaining the diffusion path of lithium ions, and at the same time, they are the regions where lithium ions are first desorbed, so they tend to be unstable. Therefore, it is important to reinforce the surface other than the (001) orientation and the surface layer portion 200a in order to maintain the crystal structure of the positive electrode active material 200 as a whole.
- the distribution of the additive element A on the surface other than the (001) plane and the surface layer portion 200a thereof be as shown in FIGS. 13C and 13D.

- the discharge capacity of the (n+1)th discharge is higher than the discharge capacity of the nth discharge.
- n 1, that is, when the first charge and the second charge are compared, the increase in the charge capacity of the second charge can be due to the fact that the positive electrode active material does not particularly contain an additive element.

These are one of the defects, and repeated charging and discharging may cause elution of the transition metal M, collapse of the crystal structure, cracking of the main body, desorption of oxygen, and the like. However, if the embedding portion 202 as shown in FIG. 13B is present so as to embed them, the elution of the transition metal M can be suppressed. Therefore, the positive electrode active material 200 can have excellent reliability and cycle characteristics.
- the positive electrode active material 200 may have a convex portion 203 as a region where the additive element A is unevenly distributed, as shown in FIG. 13B.
- the additive element A contained in the positive electrode active material 200 is excessive, there is a possibility that the insertion and extraction of lithium may be adversely affected. In addition, when used as a secondary battery, there is a risk of causing an increase in internal resistance, a decrease in charge/discharge capacity, and the like. On the other hand, if it is insufficient, it may not be distributed over the entire surface layer portion 200a, and the effect of suppressing the deterioration of the crystal structure may be insufficient. As described above, the additive element A needs to have an appropriate concentration in the positive electrode active material 200, but the adjustment is not easy.
- the positive electrode active material 200 has a region where the additive element A is unevenly distributed, part of the excess additive element A is removed from the inside 200b of the positive electrode active material 200, and the appropriate additive element A is removed from the inside 200b. concentration.

- the positive electrode active material 200 having a region where the additive element A is unevenly distributed it is allowed to mix the additive element A in excess to some extent in the manufacturing process. Therefore, the margin in production is widened, which is preferable.
- the positive electrode active material when the positive electrode active material is charged at 4.5 V or higher, or charged and discharged at a high temperature, such as an environmental temperature of 45 ° C. or higher, progressive defects that progress from the surface to the inside occur. Sometimes. A phenomenon in which defects progress to form holes in the positive electrode active material can also be called pitting corrosion, and holes generated by this phenomenon are also called pits in this specification.
- FIG. 21 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of a positive electrode active material 51 having pits. A crystal plane 55 parallel to the arrangement of cations is also shown. Since FIG. 21 is a cross-sectional view, the pits 54 and 58 are shown as holes, but the shape of these openings is deep and groove-like rather than circular. In addition, as shown by pits 54 and 58, unlike recesses 52, they tend to occur parallel to the arrangement of lithium ions.
- 53 and 56 indicate surface layer portions of the positive electrode active material 51 where the additive element A is present.
- the additive element A is less than 53 and 56 or below the lower limit of detection, and it is presumed that the function of the barrier film is reduced.
- the crystal structure of the composite oxide collapses in the vicinity of the formation of the pits, resulting in a crystal structure different from that of the layered rock salt type. Since the collapse of the crystal structure hinders the diffusion and release of lithium ions, which are carrier ions, pits are considered to be a factor in deterioration of cycle characteristics.
- the source of pits may be point defects. It is thought that point defects in the positive electrode active material change with repeated charging and discharging, and are chemically or electrochemically eroded by the surrounding electrolyte or the like, or are caused by deterioration of the material. This deterioration does not occur uniformly on the surface of the positive electrode active material, but occurs locally intensively.

It can also be said.
- a crack refers to a crack caused by a new surface or a crystal grain boundary 201 caused by applying physical pressure, for example. Cracks may occur due to expansion and contraction of the positive electrode active material due to charging and discharging. In addition, cracks and/or pits may occur from cavities inside the positive electrode active material.
- the positive electrode active material 200 it is preferable to first synthesize a composite oxide containing lithium and a transition metal, and then to mix the additive element A source and perform heat treatment.
- the concentration of the additive element A in the surface layer portion 200a is difficult to raise. Further, after synthesizing a composite oxide containing lithium and transition metal M, if only the source of the additive element A is mixed and no heating is performed, the additive element simply adheres to the composite oxide without forming a solid solution. Without sufficient heating, it is difficult to distribute the additive element A well. Therefore, it is preferable to mix the additive element A source after synthesizing the composite oxide, and to perform the heat treatment. The heat treatment after mixing the additive element A source is sometimes called annealing.
- the annealing temperature is too high, cation mixing will occur, increasing the possibility of additional element A, eg magnesium, entering the transition metal M site.
- additional element A eg magnesium
- Magnesium present in the transition metal M site has no effect of maintaining the R-3m layered rock salt type crystal structure when x in Li x CoO 2 is small.

- fluorine compounds such as lithium fluoride are suitable.
- This heating may be referred to as initial heating.
- lithium is desorbed from a part of the surface layer portion 200a of the composite oxide containing lithium and the transition metal M, so that the distribution of the additive element A is further improved.

- initial heating desorbs lithium from a part of the surface layer portion 200a.
- a composite oxide containing lithium having the lithium-deficient surface layer portion 200a and a transition metal M, and an additive element A source such as a nickel source, an aluminum source, and a magnesium source are mixed and heated.
- an additive element A source such as a nickel source, an aluminum source, and a magnesium source
- magnesium is a typical divalent element
- nickel, a transition metal tends to become a divalent ion. Therefore, a rock salt type phase containing Mg 2+ and Ni 2+ and Co 2+ reduced due to lack of lithium is formed in a part of the surface layer portion 200a.
- nickel is likely to form a solid solution and diffuses into the interior 200b when the surface layer portion 200a is a composite oxide containing layered rock salt type lithium and a transition metal M. In this case, it tends to remain on the surface layer portion 200a.

Examples of solvents that can be used include ketones such as acetone, alcohols such as ethanol and isopropanol, ethers, dioxane, acetonitrile, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP).

- the heating temperature is preferably 800°C or higher and 1100°C or lower, more preferably 900°C or higher and 1000°C or lower, and still more preferably about 950°C. If the temperature is too low, decomposition and melting of the lithium source and transition metal M source may be insufficient. On the other hand, if the temperature is too high, defects may occur due to evaporation of lithium from the lithium source and/or excessive reduction of the metal used as the transition metal M source. For example, when cobalt is used as the transition metal M, excessive reduction of cobalt changes the valence of cobalt from trivalent to divalent, which may induce oxygen defects and the like.

- the reaction chamber may be decompressed and then filled with oxygen to prevent the oxygen from entering or exiting the reaction chamber. This is called purging.
- the reaction chamber may be evacuated to -970 hPa and then filled with oxygen to 50 hPa.
- Cooling after heating may be natural cooling, but it is preferable that the cooling time from the specified temperature to room temperature is within 10 hours or more and 50 hours or less. However, cooling to room temperature is not necessarily required, and cooling to a temperature that the next step allows is sufficient.
- Heating in this step may be performed by a rotary kiln or a roller hearth kiln. Heating by a rotary kiln can be performed while stirring in either a continuous system or a batch system.

- a composite oxide (LiMO 2 ) having a transition metal M can be obtained in step S14 shown in FIG. 22A.
- the oxide is called a cobalt-containing composite oxide and represented by LiCoO 2 .
- the composite oxide may be produced by the coprecipitation method.
- a composite oxide may also be produced by a hydrothermal method.
- step S15 the composite oxide is heated. Since the composite oxide is first heated, the heating in step S15 may be called initial heating. Alternatively, since the heating is performed before step S20 described below, it may be called preheating or pretreatment.
- lithium Due to the initial heating, lithium is desorbed from part of the surface layer portion 200a of the composite oxide as described above. Further, the effect of increasing the crystallinity of the inner portion 200b can be expected. Impurities may be mixed in the lithium source and/or the transition metal M prepared in step S11 or the like. It is possible to reduce impurities from the composite oxide completed in step 14 by initial heating.
- the initial heating has the effect of smoothing the surface of the composite oxide.
- smooth surface means that the surface is less uneven, the complex oxide is overall rounded, and the corners are rounded. Furthermore, a state in which there are few foreign substances adhering to the surface is called smooth. Foreign matter is considered to be a cause of unevenness, and it is preferable that foreign matter does not adhere to the surface.
- This initial heating does not require the provision of a lithium compound source. Alternatively, it is not necessary to prepare the additive element A source. Alternatively, it is not necessary to prepare a material that functions as a flux.
- the heating conditions described in step S13 can be selected and implemented. Supplementing the heating conditions, the heating temperature in this step should be lower than the temperature in step S13 in order to maintain the crystal structure of the composite oxide. Also, the heating time in this step is preferably shorter than the time in step S13 in order to maintain the crystal structure of the composite oxide. For example, heating may be performed at a temperature of 700° C. to 1000° C. for 2 hours to 20 hours.
- the effect of increasing the crystallinity of the inner portion 200b is, for example, the effect of relieving strain, displacement, etc. resulting from the difference in shrinkage of the composite oxide produced in step S13.
- Heating in step S13 may cause a temperature difference between the surface and the inside of the composite oxide. Differences in temperature can induce differential shrinkage. It is also considered that the difference in shrinkage occurs due to the difference in fluidity between the surface and the inside due to the temperature difference.
- the energy associated with the differential shrinkage gives differential internal stress to the composite oxide.
- the difference in internal stress is also called strain, and the energy is sometimes called strain energy. It is considered that the internal stress is removed by the initial heating in step S15, and in other words the strain energy is homogenized by the initial heating in step S15. When the strain energy is homogenized, the strain of the composite oxide is relaxed. Therefore, the surface of the composite oxide may become smooth after step S15. It is also called surface-improved. In other words, after step S15, the shrinkage difference occurring in the composite oxide is relaxed, and the surface of the composite oxide becomes smooth.
- the differential shrinkage may cause micro-shifts, such as crystal shifts, in the composite oxide. It is preferable to perform this step also in order to reduce the deviation. Through this step, it is possible to uniform the misalignment of the composite oxide. If the deviation is made uniform, the surface of the composite oxide may become smooth. It is also called that the crystal grains are aligned. In other words, after step S15, it is considered that the deviation of crystals and the like generated in the composite oxide is alleviated and the surface of the composite oxide becomes smooth.
- a complex oxide having a smooth surface can be said to have a surface roughness of at least 10 nm or less when surface irregularity information is quantified from measurement data in one section of the complex oxide.
- One cross section is, for example, a cross section acquired during STEM observation.

本発明の一態様の電解質層等に用いられるリチウム塩は、ハロゲンを有するリチウム塩が好ましい。さらに含フッ素イミドリチウム塩であると好ましい。含フッ素イミドリチウム塩として、Li(CF3SO2)2N(以下、「LiTFSI」、又は「LiTFSA」と記すことがある。)、Li(C2F5SO2)2N(以下、「LiBETI」と記すことがある。)、又はLi(SO2F)2N(以下、「LiFSI」又は「LiFSA」と記すことがある。)等を用いることができる。

本実施の形態では、本発明の一態様の電解質層をシート状に加工する工程について説明する。シート状に加工された電解質層はハンドリングしやすく、生産性を向上させることができ好ましい。
本実施の形態では、本発明の一態様の二次電池に用いることのできる正極活物質及びその作製方法について説明する。
図13A及び図13Bは本発明の一態様の二次電池に用いることのできる正極活物質200の断面図である。図13A中のA−B付近を拡大した図を図13C及び図13Dに示す。図13A中のC−D付近を拡大した図を図13E及び図13Fに示す。
正極活物質200は、リチウムと、遷移金属Mと、酸素と、添加元素Aと、を有する。又は正極活物質200はリチウムと遷移金属Mを有する複合酸化物(LiMO2)に添加元素Aが加えられたものを有する。ただし複合酸化物の組成は厳密にLi:M:O=1:1:2に限定されるものではない。また添加元素Aが添加された正極活物質も複合酸化物という場合がある。
図14乃至図20を用いて、LixCoO2中のxによる結晶構造の変化について、従来の正極活物質と本発明の一態様の正極活物質200を比較しながら説明する。なおxの値は挿入脱離可能なリチウムが、コバルト酸リチウム中にどの程度残っているかを示すものであり、LixCoO2におけるリチウム占有率と言える。なお、Coは遷移金属の一例であり、適宜コバルトを遷移金属M、コバルトサイトを遷移金属Mサイトと読み替えてもよい。
図17に、放電状態、つまりLixCoO2のxが1のとき(x=1のとき)の、従来のコバルト酸リチウムが有する結晶構造を示す。当該結晶構造は空間群R−3mに帰属する層状岩塩型の結晶構造を有する。図17に示す従来の正極活物質は、特に添加元素Aを有さないコバルト酸リチウム(LiCoO2)である。特に添加元素Aを有さないコバルト酸リチウムの結晶構造の変化は非特許文献1乃至非特許文献3等に述べられている。
本発明の一態様の正極活物質200は、放電状態において上述のような添加元素Aの分布及び/又は結晶構造を有することに起因して、LixCoO2中のxが小さい状態での結晶構造が、従来の正極活物質と異なる。なおここでxが小さいとは、0.1<x≦0.24をいうこととする。
本発明の一態様の正極活物質200が有する添加元素Aは、上記のような分布に加え、少なくとも一部は結晶粒界201及びその近傍に偏在していることがより好ましい。
本発明の一態様の正極活物質200の粒径は、大きすぎるとリチウムの拡散が難しくなる、集電体に塗工したときに活物質層の表面が粗くなりすぎる、等の問題がある。一方、小さすぎると、集電体への塗工時に活物質層を担持しにくくなる、電解液との反応が過剰に進む等の問題点も生じる。そのため、メディアン径(D50)が、1μm以上100μm以下が好ましく、2μm以上40μm以下であることがより好ましく、5μm以上30μm以下がさらに好ましい。または1μm以上40μm以下が好ましい。または1μm以上30μm以下が好ましい。または2μm以上100μm以下が好ましい。または2μm以上30μm以下が好ましい。または5μm以上100μm以下が好ましい。または5μm以上40μm以下が好ましい。
ある正極活物質が、LixCoO2中のxが小さいときO3’型の結晶構造を有する本発明の一態様の正極活物質200であるか否かは、LixCoO2中のxが小さい正極活物質を有する正極を、XRD、電子線回折、中性子回折、電子スピン共鳴(ESR)、核磁気共鳴(NMR)等を用いて解析することで判断できる。
ある複合酸化物が、本発明の一態様の正極活物質200であるか否かは、高電圧充電を行うことにより判断できる。例えば、正極に当該複合酸化物を用い、負極(対極とも記す)にリチウム金属を用いてコインセル(CR2032タイプ、直径20mm高さ3.2mm)を作製し、高電圧充電を行えばよい。
XRD測定の装置及び条件は特に限定されない。例えば下記のような装置及び条件で測定することができる。
XRD装置 :Bruker AXS社製、D8 ADVANCE
X線源 :Cu
出力 :40KV、40mA
スリット幅 :Div.Slit、0.5°
検出器:LynxEye
スキャン方式 :2θ/θ連続スキャン
測定範囲(2θ) :15°以上90°以下
ステップ幅(2θ) :0.01°設定
計数時間 :1秒間/ステップ
試料台回転 :15rpm
X線光電子分光(XPS)では、無機酸化物の場合で、X線源として単色化アルミニウムのKα線を用いると、表面から2乃至8nm程度(代表的には5nm以下)の深さまでの領域の分析が可能であるため、表層部200aの深さに対して約半分の領域について、各元素の濃度を定量的に分析することができる。また、ナロースキャン分析をすれば元素の結合状態を分析することができる。なおXPSの定量精度は多くの場合±1原子%程度、検出下限は元素にもよるが約1原子%である。
測定装置 :PHI 社製QuanteraII
X線源 :単色化Al Kα(1486.6eV)
検出領域 :100μmφ
検出深さ :約4~5nm(取出角45°)
測定スペクトル :ワイドスキャン,各検出元素のナロースキャン
正極活物質200が有する添加元素Aは濃度勾配を有していることが好ましい。また添加元素Aによって、濃度分布又はピークトップの位置が異なっていることがより好ましい。濃度分布には濃度勾配が含まれる。添加元素Aの濃度分布は例えば、FIB(Focused Ion Beam)等により正極活物質200の断面を露出させ、その断面をEDX、EPMA(電子プローブ微小分析)等を用いて分析することで評価できる。
EPMA(電子プローブ微小分析)も元素の定量が可能である。面分析ならば各元素の分布を分析することができる。
本発明の一態様の正極活物質200は、充電していくとき特徴的な電圧の変化が表れることがある。電圧の変化は、充電曲線から容量(Q)を電圧(V)で微分(dQ/dV)することで得られるdQ/dV曲線から読み取ることができる。例えばdQ/dV曲線におけるピークの前後では、非平衡な相変化が起き、結晶構造が大きく変わっていると考えられる。なお本明細書等において、非平衡な相変化とは、物理量の非線形変化を起こす現象をいうこととする。
また、本発明の一態様の正極活物質200は、高電圧で充電した後、例えば40mA/g以下の低い電流で放電すると、放電終了間近に特徴的な電圧の変化が表れることがある。この変化は、放電曲線から求めたdQ/dV曲線において、3.9V前後に出現するピークよりも低電圧で、3.5Vまでの範囲に、少なくとも1つのピークが存在することで明瞭に確かめることができる。
本発明の一態様の正極活物質200はコバルトを有し、添加元素Aとしてニッケル及びマグネシウムを有することが好ましい。その結果一部のCo3+がNi3+に置換され、また一部のLi+がMg2+に置換されることが好ましい。Li+がMg2+に置換されることに伴い、当該Ni3+は還元されて、Ni2+になることがある。また、一部のLi+がMg2+に置換され、それに伴いMg2+近傍のCo3+が還元されてCo2+になる場合がある。また、一部のCo3+がMg2+に置換され、それに伴いMg2+近傍のCo3+が酸化されてCo4+になる場合がある。
本発明の一態様の正極活物質200は、表面がなめらかで凹凸が少ないことが好ましい。表面がなめらかで凹凸が少ないことは、後述する融剤の効果が十分に発揮されて、添加元素A源と複合酸化物の表面が溶融したことを示す。そのため表層部200aにおける添加元素Aの分布が良好であることを示す一つの要素である。分布が良好であるとは、例えば表層部200aにおける添加元素Aの濃度の分布が均一であることをいう。
本発明の一態様の正極活物質200が表層部に有するマグネシウムをはじめとする添加元素Aは、充放電を繰り返す過程で分布が若干変化する場合がある。例えば添加元素Aの分布がより良好になり、電子伝導抵抗が低下する場合がある。そのため充放電サイクルの初期において電気的な抵抗、すなわち電流休止法により測定される応答が速い抵抗成分R(0.1s)が下がる場合がある。
正極活物質200は凹部、クラック、窪み、断面V字形などを有する場合がある。これらは欠陥の一つであり、充放電を繰り返すとこれらから遷移金属Mの溶出、結晶構造の崩れ、本体の割れ、酸素の脱離などが生じる恐れがある。しかこれらを埋め込むように図13Bに示すような埋め込み部202が存在すると、遷移金属Mの溶出などを抑制することができる。そのため信頼性及びサイクル特性の優れた正極活物質200とすることができる。
先の実施の形態で説明したような添加元素Aの分布、組成、及び/又は結晶構造を有する正極活物質200を作製する方法について説明する。
図22Aに示すステップS11では、出発材料であるリチウム及び遷移金属Mの材料として、それぞれリチウム源(Li源)及び遷移金属M源(M源)を準備する。
次に、図22Aに示すステップS12として、リチウム源及び遷移金属M源を粉砕及び混合して、混合材料を作製する。粉砕及び混合は、乾式又は湿式で行うことができる。湿式はより小さく解砕することができるため好ましい。湿式で行う場合は、溶媒を準備する。溶媒としてはアセトン等のケトン、エタノール及びイソプロパノール等のアルコール、エーテル、ジオキサン、アセトニトリル、N−メチル−2−ピロリドン(NMP)等を用いることができる。リチウムと反応が起こりにくい、非プロトン性溶媒を用いることがより好ましい。本実施の形態では、純度が99.5%以上の脱水アセトンを用いることとする。水分含有量を10ppm以下まで抑えた、純度が99.5%以上の脱水アセトンにリチウム源及び遷移金属M源を混合して、解砕及び混合を行うと好適である。上記のような純度の脱水アセトンを用いることで、混入しうる不純物を低減することができる。
次に、図22Aに示すステップS13として、上記混合材料を加熱する。加熱温度は、800℃以上1100℃以下で行うことが好ましく、900℃以上1000℃以下で行うことがより好ましく、950℃程度がさらに好ましい。温度が低すぎると、リチウム源及び遷移金属M源の分解及び溶融が不十分となるおそれがある。一方温度が高すぎると、リチウム源からリチウムが蒸散する、及び/又は遷移金属M源として用いる金属が過剰に還元される、などが原因となり欠陥が生じるおそれがある。当該欠陥とは、例えば遷移金属Mとしてコバルトを用いる場合、過剰に還元されるとコバルトが3価から2価へ変化し、酸素欠陥などを誘発することがある。
以上の工程により、図22Aに示すステップS14で遷移金属Mを有する複合酸化物(LiMO2)を得ることができる。複合酸化物は、LiMO2で表されるリチウム複合酸化物の結晶構造を有すればよく、その組成が厳密にLi:M:O=1:1:2に限定されるものではない。遷移金属Mとしてコバルトを用いた場合、コバルトを有する複合酸化物と称し、LiCoO2で表される。組成については厳密にLi:Co:O=1:1:2に限定されるものではない。
次に、図22Aに示すステップS15として、上記複合酸化物を加熱する。複合酸化物に対する最初の加熱のため、ステップS15の加熱を初期加熱と呼ぶことがある。又は以下に示すステップS20の前に加熱するものであるため、予備加熱又は前処理と呼ぶことがある。
層状岩塩型の結晶構造をとりうる範囲で、表面がなめらかな複合酸化物に添加元素Aを加えてもよい。表面がなめらかな複合酸化物に添加元素Aを加えると、添加元素Aをムラなく添加することができる。よって、初期加熱後に添加元素Aを添加する順が好ましい。添加元素Aを添加するステップについて、図22B、及び図22Cを用いて説明する。
図22Bに示すステップS21では、複合酸化物に添加する添加元素A源(A源)を用意する。添加元素A源と合わせて、リチウム源を準備してもよい。
次に、図22Bに示すステップS22では、マグネシウム源及びフッ素源を粉砕及び混合する。本工程は、ステップS12で説明した粉砕及び混合の条件から選択して実施することができる。
次に、図22Bに示すステップS23では、上記で粉砕、混合した材料を回収して、添加元素A源(A源)を得ることができる。なお、ステップS23に示す添加元素A源は、複数の出発材料を有するものであり、混合物と呼ぶことができる。
図22Bとは異なる工程について図22Cを用いて説明する。図22Cに示すステップS21では、複合酸化物に添加する添加元素A源を4種用意する。すなわち図22Cは図22Bとは添加元素A源の種類が異なる。添加元素A源と合わせて、リチウム源を準備してもよい。
次に、図22Cに示すステップS22及びステップS23は、図22Bで説明したステップと同様である。
次に、図22Aに示すステップS31では、複合酸化物と、添加元素A源(A源)とを混合する。リチウム、遷移金属M及び酸素を有する複合酸化物中の遷移金属Mの原子数Mと、添加元素Aが有するマグネシウムの原子数Mgとの比は、M:Mg=100:y(0.1≦y≦6)であることが好ましく、M:Mg=100:y(0.3≦y≦3)であることがより好ましい。
次に、図22AのステップS32において、上記で混合した材料を回収し、混合物903を得る。回収の際、必要に応じて解砕した後にふるいを実施してもよい。
次に、図22Aに示すステップS33では、混合物903を加熱する。ステップS13で説明した加熱条件から選択して実施することができる。加熱時間は2時間以上が好ましい。
次に、図22Aに示すステップS34では、加熱した材料を回収し、必要に応じて解砕して、正極活物質200を得る。このとき、回収された正極活物質200をさらに、ふるいにかけると好ましい。以上の工程により、本発明の一態様の正極活物質200を作製することができる。本発明の一態様の正極活物質は表面がなめらかである。

ベルト21を腕に沿って曲げたり、伸ばせる形態を説明する。ベルト21を腕に沿って曲げるとき、空洞部25をなすベルト21の厚さは、他の部分の厚さよりも薄くなる場合がある。このとき、外部から局所的に大きな力が、ベルト21の表面に垂直な向きにかかった場合には、二次電池100が変形してしまう、又は破損してしまう恐れもある。そこで、二次電池100の表面を保護する保護部材を、ベルト21の内部に配置することが好ましい。
