Abstract

A cathode material for a lithium-ion secondary battery of the present invention includes central particles represented by Li x A y M z PO 4 and a carbonaceous film that coats surfaces of the central particles, an average value of R values (I 1580 /I 1360 ), which are ratios of a peak intensity (I 1580 ) of a spectrum at a frequency band of 1,580±50 cm −1 to a peak intensity (I 1360 ) of the spectrum at a frequency band of 1,360±50 cm −1 in a Raman spectrum analysis, measured at five points is 0.80 or more and 1.10 or less, and a standard deviation of the R values measured at five points is 0.010 or less.
