LITHIUM TRANSITION METAL-BASED COMPOUND POWDER FOR POSITIVE ELECTRODE MATERIAL IN LITHIUM RECHARGEABLE BATTERY, METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING THE POWDER, SPRAY DRIED PRODUCT OF THE POWDER, FIRING PRECURSOR OF THE POWDER, AND POSITIVE ELECTRODE FOR LITHIUM RECHARGEABLE BATTERY AND LITHIUM RECHARGEABLE BATTERY USING THE POWDER

摘要

There is provided a powder of a lithium transition-metal compound for a positive-electrode material in a lithium secondary battery, in which the use of the powder as that of a positive-electrode material in a lithium secondary battery achieves a good balance among improvement in battery performance, cost reduction, resistance to a higher voltage, and a higher level of safety. The powder of the lithium transition-metal compound for a positive-electrode material in a lithium secondary battery is characterized in that in a mercury intrusion curve obtained by mercury intrusion porosimetry, the amount of mercury intruded is in the range of 0.8 cm³/g to 3 cm³/g when the pressure is increased from 3.86 kPa to 413 MPa.
