Electrode, secondary battery, battery pack, electric vehicle, electric power storage system, electric power tool, and electronic apparatus

A secondary battery includes: a cathode; an anode; an electrolytic solution; and an interlayer provided between the cathode and the anode and including one or more of a polyphosphate salt, a melamine salt, a melamine derivative represented by Formula (1), a metal hydroxide, and a metal hydrate, the interlayer partially entering into the cathode, the anode, or both. 

A non-aqueous electrolyte cell is provided having improved cell characteristics and which maintains a cell shape encapsulated in a laminate film even when overdischarged to a cell voltage of 0 V. The cell includes an anode, an electrolyte, and a cathode containing a compound having the formula LiFeMPO, wherein 0.05&#x2266;x&#x2266;1.2 and 0&#x2266;y&#x2266;0.8, and wherein M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Mn, Cr, Co, Cu, Ni, V, Mo, Ti, Zn, Al, Ga, Mg, B and Nb. Exposed portions of an anode current collector and a cathode current collector prevent internal shorting of the cell.

A vehicle having in-wheel motors, wherein when the in-wheel motors are mounted on the vehicle driven by the torque of an internal combustion engine, the in-wheel motors are mounted on wheels on one side of the vehicle opposite to the other side on which the internal combustion engine is mounted. The non-rotating side of the motor and the knuckle are supported by a buffer mechanism having plates connected to each other by a direct-acting guide with springs composed of a direct-acting guide having a linear bearing and a rod and spring members moving in the vertical direction of the vehicle and mated with the direct-acting guide and a damper for interconnecting the plates, moving in the vertical direction of the vehicle to support the motor to either one or both of the unsprung mass of the vehicle and the car body by the buffer mechanism. Thus, the running ability and riding comfort of the vehicle having in-wheel motors can be improved.

A LiFePOcarbon composite material is to be synthesized in a single phase satisfactorily to prevent the deterioration of the performance of the cathode active material from occurring and achieve superior cell characteristics. In preparing a cathode active material, starting materials for synthesis of a compound represented by the general formula LiFePO, where 0&#x3c;x&#x2266;1, are mixed, milled and a carbon material is added to the resulting mass at an optional time point in the course of mixing, milling and sintering. LiPO, Fe(PO)or its hydrates Fe(PO).nHO, where n denotes the number of hydrates, are used as the starting materials for synthesis of LiFePO. The temperature of a product from said sintering is set to 305&#xb0; C. or less when said product from said sintering is exposed to atmosphere.
