Abstract
The invention provides a high-capacity positive electrode active material capable of sufficiently exploiting the excellent characteristics of magnesium metal or the like as a negative electrode active material, such as high energy capacity; a method for producing the same; and an electrochemical device using the positive electrode active material. A positive electrodeincludes a positive electrode can, a positive pole pellethaving a positive electrode active material and the like, and a metal mesh support. A negative electrodeincludes a negative electrode capand a negative electrode active materialsuch as magnesium metal. The positive electrode pelletand the negative electrode active materialare disposed so as to sandwich a separator, and an electrolyteis injected into the separator. The positive electrode active material, which provides the feature of the invention, is synthesized by a step of reacting a permanganate, such as potassium permanganate, with hydrochloric acid preferably having a concentration of 3 to 4 mol/l to produce a precipitate, and a step of filtering the precipitate, thoroughly washing the filtered precipitate with water, and then subjecting the washed precipitate to heat treatment preferably at a temperature of 300 to 400° C. for not less than 2 hours, thereby giving a manganese oxide.
