Abstract
L'objet de la présente invention est de mettre en œuvre : un matériau actif d'électrode positive pour un accumulateur qui peut présenter d'excellentes caractéristiques de cycle aussi bien dans des environnements à température ambiante et que dans des environnements à haute température ; et un procédé destiné à produire le matériau actif d'électrode positive. Le matériau actif d'électrode positive pour un accumulateur a une structure stratifiée contenant au moins du nickel, du cobalt, et du manganèse, lesquels sont des particules monocristallines et/ou des particules secondaires qui sont des agrégats d'une pluralité de particules primaires, la résistance de particules moyenne de particules dont la taille est (D50) ± 1,0 µm étant d'au moins 200 MPa, et 0,97 ≤ β/α ≤ 1,25, où (D50) est une taille de particules à un pourcentage volumique cumulatif de 50 % en volume, α est la largeur totale au demi-maximum du pic d'angle inférieur parmi deux pics de diffraction apparaissant dans la plage 2θ = 64,5 ± 1°<sp /> dans le motif de diffraction aux rayons X, et β est la largeur totale au demi-maximum du pic d'angle supérieur parmi les deux pics de diffraction.
