Abstract

A lithium secondary battery is intended to suppress deterioration upon storage at high temperature of 50° C. or higher without deteriorating the output characteristics at a room temperature. The battery includes a positive electrode capable of occluding and releasing lithium ions, a negative electrode capable of occluding and releasing lithium ions, a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and an electrolyte. The electrolyte contains a compound having a double bond in the molecule and a compound having a plurality of polymerizable functional groups in the molecule, and the electrolyte contains a compound represented by formula (4): (in which Z 1 and Z 2 each represent any one of an allyl group, a methallyl group, a vinyl group, an acryl group, and a methacryl group).

Claims (30)

a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and an electrolyte,

wherein the electrolyte contains a compound represented by formula (4):

wherein Z 1 and Z 2 each represent any one of an allyl group, a methallyl group, a vinyl group, an acryl group, and a methacryl group; and

wherein the compound represented by formula (4) is dimethacryl carbonate.

2. A lithium ion secondary battery comprising:

a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and an electrolyte,

wherein the electrolyte contains a compound represented by formula (4):
