The present invention provides a lithium secondary battery small in the volume variation caused by charge-discharge and excellent in cycle performance. The lithium secondary battery includes a cathode capable of storing and releasing lithium and an anode capable of storing and releasing lithium, the cathode including a lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt compound oxide having a layered crystal structure and a lithium-manganese compound oxide having a layered crystal structure distributed in the lithium-nickel-manganese-cobalt compound oxide. |
