Abstract

To provide a positive electrode active material having a high output when constituting a secondary battery and high crystallinity, and a composite hydroxide that is a precursor thereof.A method for producing a metal composite hydroxide, which includes a first crystallization process of obtaining first metal composite hydroxide particles by supplying a first raw material aqueous solution containing a metal element and an ammonium ion donor to a reaction tank, adjusting a pH of a reaction aqueous solution in the reaction tank, and performing a crystallization reaction and a second crystallization process of forming a tungsten-concentrated layer on a surface of the first metal composite hydroxide particles and obtaining second metal composite hydroxide particles by supplying a second raw material aqueous solution containing a metal element and a more amount of tungsten than the first raw material aqueous solution and an ammonium ion donor to a reaction aqueous solution containing the first metal composite hydroxide particles, adjusting a pH of the reaction aqueous solution, and performing a crystallization reaction, and the like.
