Abstract

A lithium-ion secondary cell according to the present invention is provided with a positive electrode and a negative electrode. The positive electrode contains a lithium-manganese composite oxide partially substituted by magnesium as a positive electrode active material. The negative electrode contains a graphite coated with amorphous carbon as a negative electrode active material, a carbon black-based conductive aid and a fluororesin-based binding agent.

Claims (10)

1. A lithium-ion secondary cell, comprising:

a positive electrode containing a lithium-manganese composite oxide partially substituted by magnesium as a positive electrode active material; and

a negative electrode containing a graphite coated with amorphous carbon as a negative electrode active material, a carbon black-based conductive aid and a fluororesin-based binding agent,

wherein the carbon black-based conductive aid has a larger specific surface area than that of the negative electrode active material, and

wherein the carbon black-based conductive aid includes two kinds of carbon black materials of different specific surface areas,

wherein one of the two kinds of carbon black materials having a first specific surface area is present in a larger amount than the other of the two kinds of carbon black materials having a second specific surface area, the second specific surface area being smaller than the first specific surface area.

2. The lithium-ion secondary cell according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon black-based conductive aid has a BET specific surface area of 10 to 10 2 m 2 /g.

3. The lithium-ion secondary cell according to claim 1 , wherein the positive electrode further contains a lithium-nickel composite oxide as a positive electrode active material.

4. The lithium-ion secondary cell according to claim 1 , wherein the amount of the other of the two kinds of carbon black materials having the second specific surface area is 2 to 8 mass % of the amount of the one of the two kinds of carbon black materials having the first specific surface area.

5. The lithium-ion secondary cell according to claim 1 , wherein the second specific surface area of the other of the two kinds of carbon black materials is 10 to 20 m 2 /g.
