Provided is a chlorine-containing positive electrode active material that can impart excellent high-temperature storage characteristic to a lithium ion secondary battery. The positive electrode active material disclosed herein includes 0.1% by mass or more and 3% by mass or less of Cl. Further, in the positive electrode active material disclosed herein, the ratio of a peak intensity of a (003) plane to a peak intensity of a (104) plane in Miller indexes hlk that is determined by powder X-ray diffraction is 0.8 or more and 1.5 or less. |
