A non-
aqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes: a positive
electrode comprising a positive
electrode active material capable of intercalating and deintercalating
lithium ions; a negative
electrode; and a non-
aqueous electrolyte. The positive electrode active material contains LibFePO4, where 0≦b<1, and a layered
lithium-containing
metal oxide represented by the general formula LixCoyMzO2, where M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of Na, K, B, F, Mg, Al, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn, Nb, Mo, Zr, Sn, and W, and where x, y, and z satisfy the conditions 1≦x<1.3, 0<y≦1, and 0≦z<1.
