Abstract

A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery including: an electrode group in which a positive electrode and a negative electrode are spirally wound with a separator interposed therebetween; and a non-aqueous electrolyte including a non-aqueous solvent and a lithium salt dissolved in the non-aqueous solvent, the positive electrode including a positive electrode material mixture layer containing a nickel-containing lithium composite metal oxide, wherein a product of A and B equals 150 to 350, A equals 15 to 20%, and B equals 8 to 25%, where A (%) represents a porosity of the positive electrode material mixture layer, and B (%) represents a volume percentage of ethylene carbonate in the non-aqueous solvent.

Claims (7)

1. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising:

an electrode group in which a positive electrode and a negative electrode are spirally wound with a separator interposed therebetween; and

a non-aqueous electrolyte comprising a non-aqueous solvent and a lithium salt dissolved in said non-aqueous solvent,

said positive electrode including a positive electrode material mixture layer comprising a nickel-containing lithium composite metal oxide and LiCoO 2 as active materials,

wherein a product of A and B equals 150 to 300, A equals 15 to 20%, and B equals 8 to 15%, where A (%) represents a porosity of said positive electrode material mixture layer, and B (%) represents a volume percentage of ethylene carbonate in said non-aqueous solvent.

2. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery in accordance with claim 1 , wherein said nickel-containing lithium composite metal oxide is represented by a formula:

LiNi x M y L z O 2 , where M is at least one of Co and Mn, L is at least one selected from the group consisting of Al, Mg, Ca, Si and Ti, 0.3≦x≦0.9, 0.1≦y≦0.5, and 0.005≦z≦0.1.
