Abstract

The present invention provides a lithium manganese-based composite oxide represented by the compositional formula: Li(MnFeTi)O, wherein 0<x<⅓, 0≦m≦0.75, 0.01≦n≦0.75, and 0.01≦m+n<1, and comprising a crystal phase of layered rock-salt type structure. The composite oxide is capable of maintaining an average discharge voltage of 3 V or more over long charge/discharge cycles. The composite oxide can be prepared using lower-cost starting materials, and exhibits improved charge/discharge characteristics over conventional low-cost positive electrode materials.
