Abstract

An electrode conductive material includes a non-stoichiometric oxidized cobalt compound whose electrical conductivity is greater than 5×10−3 S/cm and which has a direct spinel structure and formula Co2+xCo3+yO4, with 0.73≦≦0.80 and 1.87≦y≦1.95. An alkaline electrolyte secondary storage cell positive electrode includes a current collector and a layer containing a binder, particles of an electrochemically active material and the aforementioned conductive material, the proportion by weight of the conductive material in the layer being from 4% to 10% of the active material.
