Abstract

A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a positive electrode 4 including a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode mixture layer including a positive electrode active material and a binder, the positive electrode mixture layer being provided on the positive electrode current collector, a negative electrode 5 , a porous insulating layer 6 interposed between the positive electrode 4 and the negative electrode 5 , and a nonaqueous electrolyte. The tensile extension of the positive electrode 4 is equal to or higher than 3.0%. The charge end voltage in normal operation of the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery is equal to or higher than 4.3 V.

Claims (13)

1. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, comprising:

a positive electrode including a positive electrode current collector and a positive electrode mixture layer including a positive electrode active material and a binder, the positive electrode mixture layer being provided on the positive electrode current collector;

a negative electrode;

a porous insulating layer interposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode; and

a nonaqueous electrolyte, wherein:

a tensile extension of the positive electrode in a state in which the positive electrode mixture layer is formed on the positive electrode current collector is equal to or higher than 3.0% and 6.5% or less,

a charge end voltage in normal operation is equal to or higher than 4.3 V and equal to or lower than 4.5V,

the positive electrode current collector is made of aluminum containing iron, and

a content of the iron contained in the positive electrode current collector is equal to or higher than 1.20 wt % and equal to or lower than 1.70 wt %.

2. The battery of claim 1 , wherein

a tensile extension of the negative electrode is equal to or higher than 3.0% and 5.0% or less, and

a tensile extension of the porous insulating layer is equal to or higher than 3.0% and 8.0% or less.

3. The battery of claim 1 , wherein the positive electrode is obtained by rolling and then performing heat treatment at a predetermined temperature on the positive electrode current collector, where positive electrode material mixture slurry containing the positive electrode active material is applied to the positive electrode current collector and is dried.
