POSITIVE ELECTRODE FOR LITHIUM ION SECONDARY CELL, AND LITHIUM ION SECONDARY CELL USING SAME

Provided is a positive electrode for lithium ion secondary cell that includes an electrolyte holding layer excellent in electron conductivity, and a lithium ion secondary cell using the same. The present invention relates to a positive electrode for lithium ion secondary cell that includes a positive electrode current collector foil and positive electrode mixture layers laminated on both surfaces of the positive electrode current collector foil. The positive electrode mixture layer includes a first positive electrode active material layer, an electrolyte holding layer, and a second positive electrode active material layer. The first positive electrode active material layer, the electrolyte holding layer, and the second positive electrode active material layer contain positive electrode active materials, binders, and conductive agents containing carbonaceous material. A conductive agent ratio of the electrolyte holding layer is higher than conductive agent ratios of the first positive electrode active material layer and the second positive electrode active material layer. A positive electrode active material ratio and a binder ratio of the electrolyte holding layer are lower than positive electrode active material ratios and binder ratios of the first positive electrode active material layer and the second positive electrode active material layer.
