NONAQUEOUS ELECTROLYTE SECONDARY BATTERY

The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a nonaqueous electrolyte. The positive electrode includes a positive electrode mixture containing a positive electrode active material and an additive. The positive electrode active material contains a composite oxide containing lithium and a transition metal. The additive contains a particulate base material, and an organic compound group fixed to the surface of the base material by a covalent bond. The covalent bond contains a X—O-A bond. The element X is bonded to the organic compound group, and is at least one selected from the group consisting of Si and Ti. The element A is an element constituting the base material. The organic compound group has 2 or more carbon atoms.
