NOVELTY - The anode active material contains lithium, nickel, metal and halogen. The lattice constant of the anode active material along c-axis is 1.37-14.4 Angstrom and along a-axis is 2.81-2.91 Angstrom using X-ray diffraction. The active material has peak intensity ratio of the surface (003) with respect to the surface (104) is 0.3-0.8.    USE - Anode active material for lithium ion non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery (claimed). Uses include but are not limited to battery for power supply of notebook personal computer, notebook type word processor, pocket word processor, portable compact disk, electronic translating machine, calculator, memory card, motor vehicle, camera and medical equipment.    ADVANTAGE - The lithium ion non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising the anode active material is economical and has excellent discharge capacity.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - The anode active material contains lithium, nickel, metal and halogen. The lattice constant of the anode active material along c-axis is 1.37-14.4 Angstrom and along a-axis is 2.81-2.91 Angstrom using X-ray diffraction. The active material has peak intensity ratio of the surface (003) with respect to the surface (104) is 0.3-0.8. The anode active material has compositional formula: LixNi1-yMyO2-zXa, where m is element chosen from elements of group II, group XIII, group XIV of periodic table, magnesium, boron, aluminum, tin, silica, gallium, manganese, iron, titanium, niobium, zirconium, molybdenum, tungsten and transition metals, X is halogen, x is more than 0.2 to 1.2, y is 0-0.5, z is 0.01-0.25 and a is 0.02-0.5. The chloride or fluoride in the manufacture of anode active material is chosen from nickel chloride, cobalt chloride, tin chloride, magnesium chloride, ferric chloride, aluminum fluoride, barium fluoride, lithium fluoride, lanthanum fluoride and tin fluoride. The cathode active material has crystalline metal complex oxide and/or amorphous metal complex oxide. An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for the manufacture of anode active material.
