Abstract

A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a positive electrode comprising a positive electrode material attached to a positive electrode current collector, a negative electrode and a nonaqueous electrolyte, wherein the positive electrode material comprises a positive electrode active material represented by Li a Mn b Ni b Co 1-2b O 2 (wherein a is 0≦a≦1.1, and b is 0<b≦0.5), a binder and an electrically conductive agent, wherein the binder is contained in the positive electrode material in a range of 0.8˜3 weight %, and the density of the positive electrode material is not less than 3.0 g/cm 3 .

Claims (2)

1. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising a positive electrode comprising a positive electrode material on a positive electrode current collector, a negative electrode and a nonaqueous electrolyte, wherein the positive electrode material comprises a positive electrode active material represented by Li a Mn b Ni b Co 1-2b O 2 (wherein a is 0≦a≦1.1, and b is 0<b≦0.5), a polyvinylidene fluoride binder and an amorphous carbon electrically conductive agent, wherein the binder is contained in the positive electrode material in a range of 0.8˜3 weight %, the electrically conductive agent is contained in a range of 1˜3 weight % in the positive electrode material and a density of the positive electrode material is 3.0 g/cm 3 or more.

2. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the nonaqueous electrolyte comprises a mixed solvent of a cyclic carbonate and a chain carbonate, where the cyclic carbonate is contained in an amount of 30 volume % or less in the mixed solvent.
