Abstract
A method for producing nickel composite hydroxide particles may include: a first step of producing nuclei including primary particles by controlling the pH of an aqueous solution for nucleation, the aqueous solution for nucleation containing a metal compound having an atomic ratio of metals corresponding to an atomic ratio of metals in the nickel composite hydroxide particles and substantially not containing a metal complex ion-forming agent; and a second step of forming, on an outer surface of each of the nuclei, an outer shell portion including platy primary particles larger than primary particles of the nuclei by controlling the pH of an aqueous solution for particle growth containing the nuclei obtained in the nucleation step.
