To increase capacity per weight of a power storage device, a particle includes a first region, a second region in contact with at least part of a surface of the first region and located on the outside of the first region, and a third region in contact with at least part of a surface of the second region and located on the outside of the second region. The first and the second regions contain lithium and oxygen. At least one of the first region and the second region contains manganese. At least one of the first and the second regions contains an element M. The first region contains a first crystal having a layered rock-salt structure. The second region contains a second crystal having a layered rock-salt structure. An orientation of the first crystal is different from an orientation of the second crystal.

In initial charge and discharge, decomposition products or a gas is generated, degrading a battery. At least one of solvents (e.g., ethylene carbonate) used for an electrolytic solution is brought into contact with a positive electrode and a negative electrode and then charge is performed to some degree, and after that, a different solvent or electrolytic solution (e.g., ethyl methyl carbonate or vinylene carbonate) was added to adjust the electrolytic solution and then charge is performed. Through this process, stable coating films are formed in initial charge and discharge, which stably inhibits a side reaction between the electrolytic solution and an active material.
