Abstract

Abstract A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell provided with (a) a negative electrode consisting essentially of a carrier for a negative electrode active material , said carrier being capable of being doped and dedoped with lithium, (b) a positive electrode comprising, as an essential positive electrode active material, Li1+xMn2O4, wherein x>0, obtained by doping a lithium-manganese complex oxide with lithium and (c) a nonaqueous electrolyte. The secondary cell has an increased cell capacity as well as a high energy density and an excellent charge-discharge characteristics .

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 69 words
A method for manufacturing a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell comprising the steps of: a) providing LiMn 2 O 4 ; b) doping the LiMn 2 O 4 with lithium to produce a positive electrode active material of Li 1+x Mn 2 O 4 wherein x>0; and c) combining the positive electrode material with a negative electrode active material and a nonaqueous electrolyte to form the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 69 words
A method for manufacturing a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell comprising the steps of: a) providing LiMn 2 O 4 ; b) doping the LiMn 2 O 4 with lithium to produce a positive electrode active material of Li 1+x Mn 2 O 4 wherein x>0; and c) combining the positive electrode material with a negative electrode active material and a nonaqueous electrolyte to form the nonaqueous electrolyte secondary cell.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 28 words
