Provided is a positive plate densely filled with a positive mix containing higher valent order hydroxide and an alkaline secondary battery using the positive plate and having high capacity and high battery characteristics. In the positive plate for the alkaline secondary battery in which a positive mix containing active material particles mainly comprising nickel hydroxide is filled in pores of aconductive porous substrate, the active material particles contain nickel hydroxide as the main component, globular particles obtained by converting a part or the whole of the nickel hydroxide to higher order nickel hydroxide, and non-globular particles mainly comprising nickel hydroxide.
