POSITIVE ELECTRODE MATERIAL FOR USE IN NON-AQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE BATTERY, PROCESS FOR PREPARING THE SAME, AND NON-AQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE BATTERY

摘要

A non-aqueous electrolyte battery according to the invention includes a positive electrode using a lithium-metal compound oxide as a positive electrode material, a negative electrode and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution, the battery employing a positive electrode material composed of the lithium-metal compound oxide which contains at least Ni, Co and Mn, and has a peak with a full width at half maximum of not greater than 0.22.degree. in a range of 2.theta.=18.71~0.25.degree. as measured by the powder X-ray diffraction analysis using a Cu-K.alpha. X-ray source or employing a positive electrode material composed of a lithium-metal compound oxide which contains at least Ni, Co and Mn, and a non-aqueous electrolyte solution which includes a solvent containing ethylene carbonate and a solute containing at least one type of fluorine-containing compound.
