Abstract: Provided is a secondary battery in which high energy density can be
obtained and charging/discharging cycle characteristic can be improved. A
positive electrode (13) and a negative electrode (15) are stacked with a
separator (16) interposed therebetween, and are enclosed inside an exterior
can (11) to which an electrolyte is injected. The negative electrode (15)
contains a negative electrode material capable of occluding/releasing lithium
in an ionic state. Thereby, lithium metal precipitates in the negative
electrode (15) in a state where the open circuit voltage is lower than the
overcharge voltage. In other words, lithium is occluded in an ionic state in a
negative electrode material capable of occluding/releasing lithium in the
beginning of charging, and then lithium metal precipitates on the surface of
the negative electrode material thereafter during charging. The amount of
precipitation of lithium metal is preferable to be from 0.05 to 3.0 times, both
inclusive, the ability of charging capacity of the negative electrode material
capable of occluding/releasing lithium. Thereby, a high energy density and
an excellent cycle characteristic can be obtained.
