Abstract
A lithium secondary battery (10) provided by the present invention includes a current interruption mechanism (40) operated by a rise in internal pressure. A positive electrode (32) of this battery (10) has a positive electrode mixture layer containing lithium carbonate, a conductive material and a positive electrode active material consisting primarily of a lithium-transition metal oxide. The lithium carbonate is disposed on the surface of the conductive material. Such a positive electrode mixture layer can preferably be fabricated using a positive electrode mixture composition containing a positive electrode active material and a composite conductive material comprising lithium carbonate retained on the surface of a conductive material.
