Nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery
A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to one aspect of the present invention contains a dispersant in a positive electrode mixture layer. The content of a positive electrode active material in the positive electrode mixture layer is 97% by mass or more, and the content ratio of a conductive agent to a binder in the positive electrode mixture layer is 1.00-1.67. The binder is composed of a polyvinylidene fluoride which has a carboxyl group or a carboxyl group derivative as a terminal functional group.
1. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising:
a positive electrode plate having a positive electrode mixture layer formed thereon, the positive electrode mixture layer containing a positive electrode active material which stores and releases a lithium ion, a conductive agent, a binder, and a dispersant,
a negative electrode plate having a negative electrode mixture layer formed thereon, the negative electrode mixture layer containing a negative electrode active material which stores and releases a lithium ion,
a nonaqueous electrolyte solution, and
a separator;
the dispersant being selected from the group consisting of methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl methyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, and polyvinyl propanol, a content of the positive electrode active material in the positive electrode mixture layer being from 97% by mass or more to 98.25% by mass;
a content ratio of the conductive agent to the binder in the positive electrode mixture layer being 1.00-1.67; and
the binder being composed of a polyvinylidene fluoride having, as a terminal functional group, one selected from the group consisting of a carboxyl group and a carboxyl group derivative.
