Abstract
The invention provides a lithium-manganese-based composite oxide containing Ti and Ni, which is represented by the compositional formula: Li1+x(Mn1−n−mNimTin)1−xO2, wherein 0<x≦0.33, 0.05<m<0.3, and 0.3<n<0.5, and includes a crystal phase of layered rock-salt type structure. The composite oxide is a novel material that is capable of maintaining an average discharge voltage of 3 V or more over long charge/discharge cycles, while providing a discharge capacity equal to or higher than those of lithium-cobalt-oxide-based positive electrode materials, and that can be prepared using starting materials that are inexpensive and less limited as natural resources, while exhibiting improved charge/discharge characteristics over known low-cost positive electrode materials.
