Abstract
The present invention provides a positive electrode active material for lithium secondary batteries including: secondary particles obtained by aggregating primary particles capable of being doped and de-doped with lithium ions, in which the secondary particles have pores, and pore distribution obtained by a mercury intrusion method satisfies requirements (1) and (2) below:(1) pores that are present in any one or both of the secondary particles or spaces between the secondary particles have a pore peak within a range of a pore radius of equal to or greater than 10 nm and equal to or less than 200 nm; and(2) a total surface area of pores that have pore radii of equal to or greater than 100 nm and equal to or less than 10 µm among the pores that are present in any one or both of the secondary particles or spaces between the secondary particles is less than 1.1 m/g.
