Abstract

The present invention provides a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell having a positive electrode comprising mainly of a positive electrode active material, a negative electrode, and a nonaqueous electrolyte. The positive electrode active material is a lithium-containing transition metal composite oxide of a hexagonal crystal system that includes a compound represented by the general formula LiCoMO, where M is at least one species selected from the group consisting of V, Cr, Fe, Mn, Ni, Al, and Ti, and x is a decimal number in a range 0<x<1, magnesium, and halogen. In a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell having such a construction, the high-temperature characteristics are improved without reducing the cell capacity.
