Abstract

A battery capable of obtaining the high energy density and obtaining the superior cycle characteristics is provided. In an anode, the thickness of a single face of an anode active material layer containing a carbon material as an anode active material is from 75 μm to 120 μm. An electrolytic solution contains difluoroethylene carbonate as a solvent. Thereby, the energy density of the anode is improved, and the diffusion and the acceptance of lithium ions in the anode are improved.

Claims (12)

1. A battery comprising:

a cathode;

an anode; and

an electrolytic solution,

wherein the anode has an anode active material layer containing a carbon material and being from 100 μm to 120 μm thick, and

the electrolytic solution contains a solvent containing trans-4,5-difluoro -1,3-dioxolane-2-one.

2. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon material includes graphite in which a lattice spacing d 002 in the C-axis direction in X-ray diffraction is 0.335 nm or more and less than 0.338 nm.

3. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein a content of trans-4,5-difluoro-1,3-dioxolane-2-one in the solvent is from 0.1 wt % to 20 wt %.

4. The battery according to claim 2 , wherein a volume density of the anode active material layer is from 1.0 g/cm 3 to 1.9 g/cm 3 .

5. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the solvent contains propylene carbonate.

6. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon material has a spacing of the (002) plane of 0.3363 nm or more or 0.3380 nm or less.

7. The battery according to claim 1 , wherein the cathode includes a cathode active material containing Li x MIO 2 and Li 2 CO 3 wherein 0.05<x<1.10, and MI includes at least one transition metal.
