Nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery
It is an object of the present invention to provide a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery with improved output characteristics. An example of an embodiment of the present invention provides a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising an electrode assembly having a structure in which a positive electrode plate and a negative electrode plate are stacked with a separator therebetween. The positive electrode plate contains a lithium transition metal oxide containing tungsten as a positive electrode active material and also contains a phosphate compound. The negative electrode plate contains a graphitic carbon material and an amorphous/noncrystalline carbon material as negative electrode active materials and includes a coating of tungsten or a tungsten compound on the surface of the amorphous/noncrystalline carbon material.
