Abstract

Provided is a secondary cell excellent in cycle characteristics. The secondary cell includes a positive electrode 5 , a negative electrode 6 , and an electrolytic solution. A positive electrode mixture of the positive electrode 5 contains LiOH, Li a Ni b Co c A d B e O 2 which is a positive electrode active material (a, b, c, d, and e satisfy 1.0≤a≤1.1, 0.45≤b≤0.90, 0.05≤c+d≤0.55, and 0≤e≤0.006, “A” contains at least one of Mn and Al, and “B” contains at least one of Al, Mg, Mo, Ti, W and Zr), and an oxide. The oxide contains at least one of aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, molybdenum oxide, titanium oxide, tungsten oxide, and zirconium oxide.

Claims (19)
