Furthermore, the test cells A1 and A2 of the example exhibit a moderate increase in voltage even compared to the test cell B2 of the comparative example 2, which has the same lithium carbonate content with respect to the mass of the entire positive electrode active material. That is, in the test cells A1 and A2 of the example, the decomposition reaction of lithium carbonate progresses more rapidly during overcharge than in the test cell B2.
- test cell B2 lithium carbonate is uniformly present in the thickness direction of the positive electrode mixture layer.
- test cell A1 lithium carbonate is present only in the upper layer (second region) of the positive electrode mixture layer
- test cell A2 lithium carbonate is present only in the lower layer (first region) of the positive electrode mixture layer.
- the content of lithium carbonate must be controlled to 0.05-2% by mass with respect to the mass of the positive electrode active material. If the content of lithium carbonate is less than 0.05% by mass, the amount of gas generated during overcharging is reduced, and a sufficient effect cannot be obtained. On the other hand, when the content exceeds 2% by mass, there is a concern that the battery capacity and battery characteristics in a high temperature environment may deteriorate.

第1正極合剤スラリーのみを用いて単層構造の正極合剤層を形成したこと以外は、実施例1と同様にして、試験セルB1を作製した。
上記正極活物質と、アセチレンブラックと、ポリフッ化ビニリデンと、炭酸リチウムとを、100:1:0.9:0.2の質量比で混合し、分散媒としてNMPを用いて、第3正極合剤スラリーを調製した。この第3正極合剤スラリーのみを用いて単層構造の正極合剤層を形成したこと以外は、実施例1と同様にして、試験セルB2を作製した。
25℃の温度条件下、作製した試験セルを、0.1Cの定電流で、正極電位がリチウム基準で4.3Vになるまで充電を行った後、4.3Vの低電圧で電流が0.01Cになるまで充電した。その後、0.05Cの定電流で、正極電位が2.5Vになるまで放電を行った。この充放電サイクルを2回繰り返した後、0.1Cの定電流により正極の電位がリチウム基準で5.3Vになるまで過充電試験を実施した。正極電位が5.0Vから5.1Vに上昇するまでの所要時間を計測し、表1に示した。表1に示す上昇時間の差は、試験セルA1,A2,B2のそれぞれの所要時間と、試験セルB1の所要時間との差を意味する。
