Summary:To provide cobalt-coated nickel-containing hydroxide particles that can have reduced volume resistivity by preventing the aggregation of nickel-containing hydroxide particles when the cobalt coating of nickel-containing hydroxide particles is subjected to oxidation treatment.SOLUTION: Cobalt-coated nickel-containing hydroxide particles are obtained by forming a coating layer containing cobalt oxyhydroxide as a main component on nickel-containing hydroxide particles. The nickel-containing hydroxide particles comprise nickel (Ni), zinc (Zn), and one or more additive metal elements M selected from the group consisting of cobalt (Co) and magnesium (Mg). The molar% proportion of nickel: zinc: additive metal elements M is 100-x-y:x:y (1.50≤x≤9.00 and 0.00≤y≤3.00). The cobalt-coated nickel-containing hydroxide particles have, in a volume-reference particle size distribution by laser diffraction scattering method, a value A of the following formula (1), which is calculated from a maximum peak having a height a, one peak at a height equal to or greater than (1/2)a, and a width b of the maximum peak at the height (1/2)a. The cobalt-coated nickel-containing hydroxide particles have, in a volume-reference particle size distribution by laser diffraction scattering method after compression treatment at a press pressure of 64 MPa, a value B of the following formula (2), which is calculated from a maximum peak having a height c and a width d of the maximum peak at the height (1/2)c. The value B and the value A have a relationship of the following formula (3). A=[(b×(1/2)a]/2 (1), B=[(d×(1/2)c]/2 (2), -1.50≤[(B-A)/A]×100≤5.00 (3).SELECTED DRAWING: None 【課題】本発明は、ニッケル含有水酸化物粒子のコバルト被覆が酸化処理される際に、ニッケル含有水酸化物粒子の凝集が防止されていることで、体積抵抗率を低減できるコバルト被覆ニッケル含有水酸化物粒子を提供する。【解決手段】ニッケル含有水酸化物粒子に主成分としてオキシ水酸化コバルトを含む被覆層が形成されたコバルト被覆ニッケル含有水酸化物粒子であって、前記ニッケル含有水酸化物粒子が、ニッケル(Ni)と、亜鉛(Zn)と、コバルト(Co)及びマグネシウム(Mg)からなる群から選択される1種以上の添加金属元素Mと、を含み、ニッケル:亜鉛:添加金属元素Mのモル%比が、100−x−y:x:y(1.50≦x≦9.00、0.00≦y≦3.00を意味する。)であり、レーザー回折散乱法による体積基準粒度分布において、最大ピークが、高さaであり、(1/2)a以上の高さにピークが1つであり、且つ(1/2)aの高さにおける前記最大ピークの幅bから算出される下記式(1)の値Aを有しており、プレス圧力64MPaで圧縮処理した後のレーザー回折散乱法による体積基準粒度分布において、最大ピークが、高さcであり、(1/2)cの高さにおける前記最大ピークの幅dから算出される下記式(2)の値Bを有しており、該値Bと前記値Aとが、下記式(3)の関係を有するコバルト被覆ニッケル含有水酸化物粒子。A=[(b×(1/2)a]/2 ・・・(1)B=[(d×(1/2)c]/2 ・・・(2)−1.50≦[(B−A)/A]×100≦5.00 ・・・(3)【選択図】なし
