Nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery and method for manufacturing the same
View Patent ↗The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery of the present invention includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and a nonaqueous electrolyte. The positive electrode contains a positive electrode active material composed of a lithium-containing transition metal oxide having a layered crystal structure. The negative electrode contains a negative electrode active material composed of a Ti-based oxide and an additive composed of fluorinated carbon that reacts with lithium at a more noble potential as compared to the negative electrode active material. In the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery of the present invention, the battery voltage reaches a discharge cut-off voltage by a potential change in the negative electrode.
