Abstract
Provided are a cathode material capable of achieving a higher discharge capacity and a higher discharge voltage, and obtaining superior charge-discharge characteristics, and a battery using the cathode material. A separator () is disposed between a cathode () and an anode (). The cathode () comprises a lithium composite oxide represented by LiMIMIIO. MI represents at least two kinds selected from the group consisting of Mn, Ni and Co, and MII represents at least one kind selected from the group consisting of Al, Ti, Mg and B. Further, a, b, c and d are within a range satisfying 1.0<a<1.5, 0.9<b+c<1.1, a>b+c, 1.8<d<2.5, respectively. When lithium is excessively included, the charge capacity can be improved, and even after charge, a certain amount of lithium remains in the crystalline structure of the lithium composite oxide, so the stability of the crystalline structure can be improved.
