Abstract
Provided is a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery in which the structural change of a positive electrode active material is suppressed at high voltage and which can achieve high capacity and long life. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a positive electrode containing a positive electrode active material storing and releasing lithium ions, a negative electrode containing a negative electrode active material storing and releasing lithium ions, and a nonaqueous electrolyte. The positive electrode active material is a cobalt composite oxide which has a layered rock salt structure and which includes a lithium layer containing magnesium, magnesium is present in the lithium layer after charge is performed at a potential of 4.53 V or more versus lithium, and 4.5 mole percent to 10 mole percent of a magnesium-containing compound is present on the negative electrode with respect to magnesium in the positive electrode.
