Abstract

A positive electrode material includes: a positive electrode active material; a coating layer covering at least part of the surface of the positive electrode active material; and a second solid electrolyte. The coating layer includes a first solid electrolyte. The first solid electrolyte includes Li, M1 and F. M1 is at least one selected from the group consisting of Ti, Al and Zr. The second solid electrolyte includes Li, M2, O and X. M2 is at least one selected from the group consisting of Ta and Nb. X is at least one selected from the group consisting of F, Cl, Br and I.
