Abstract

In the nonaqueous secondary battery of the present invention, a positive electrode mixture layer included in a positive electrode contains a lithium-containing complex oxide defined by the general formula Li x M 1 y M 2 z M 3 v O 2 (where, M 1 represents at least one transition metal element selected from the group consisting of Co, Ni and Mn, M 2 represents at least one metal element selected from the group consisting of Mg, Ti, Zr, Ge, Nb, Al and Sn, M 3 represents an element other than Li, M 1 and M 2 , 0.97≦x<1.02, 0.8≦y<1.02, 0.002≦z≦0.05, and 0≦v≦0.05) and has a density of 3.5 g/cm 3 or more. A nonaqueous electrolyte contains a fluorinated nitrile compound including two or more cyano groups or a cyano group and an ester group.

Claims (19)
