Abstract

A positive electrode active material with high capacity and excellent cycle performance is provided. The positive electrode active material has a small difference in crystal structure between the charged state and the discharged state. For example, the crystal structure and volume of a positive electrode active material having a layered rock salt crystal structure in the discharged state and a pseudo-spinel crystal structure when charged to a high voltage of about 4.6V have less change due to charging and discharging compared to conventional positive electrode active materials.
