A cathode material capable of improving capacity and superior low
temperature characteristics, and a battery using the cathode material are
provided. A cathode and an anode are layered with an electrolyte layer
and a separator in between. The cathode contains a complex oxide
containing lithium, manganese, nickel, and cobalt; a complex oxide
containing lithium and at least one of nickel and cobalt; and a complex
oxide containing lithium and manganese and having a spinel structure or a
phosphorus oxide containing lithium and iron at a given ratio.
