Abstract

A lithium cobaltate based positive electrode-active material for a lithium secondary cell consisting of lithium cobaltate (LiCoO.sub.2) powder having particle properties of an n-value of at least 2.0 in Rosine-Rammler's distribution (R-.lambda.). According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a lithium cobaltate based positive electrode-active material which is excellent in discharge capacity and capacity holding rate and gives high energy density, suitable for a lithium secondary cell.
