POSITIVE ELECTRODE FOR NON-AQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE, RECHARGEABLE BATTERY, AND NON-AQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY

Example embodiments include a positive electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery that is capable of sufficiently reducing an increase in the internal temperature of the battery, improving safety, and maintaining electrical resistance and cycle characteristics within an appropriate range. According to example embodiments, a positive electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery includes a positive electrode active material and inorganic particles, the inorganic particles contain boron, D, 50% of an integrated value of a particle diameter volume-based particle size distribution in a particle size distribution obtained by a laser diffraction/scattering method of the inorganic particles is greater than or equal to about 0.3 μm and less than or equal to about 8.0 μm, and a ratio of a major diameter to a minor diameter of the inorganic particles is greater than or equal to about 3.0 and less than or equal to about 30.
