Abstract

A positive electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte lithium secondary battery comprises an active material represented by the formula Li.sub.x A.sub.1-y M.sub.y O.sub.2 (wherein A represents at least one transition element selected from the group consisting of Mn, Co, and Ni, M represents at least one element selected from the group consisting of B, Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Al, In, Nb, Mo, W, Y, and Rh, and wherein 0.05.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.1.1, and 0.ltoreq.y.ltoreq.0.5), a binder, a conductive agent and a current collector. The binder is selected from the group consisting of a copolymer comprising a tetrafluoroethylene unit and a hexafluoropropylene unit, a copolymer comprising a vinylidene fluoride unit, a copolymer comprising a propylene unit and a tetrafluoroethylene unit, and a polymer comprising a trifluoropropylmethylsiloxane unit.
