Non-aqueous electrolyte battery
A non-aqueous electrolyte, lithium-ion secondary battery includes an electrode group in which positive and negative electrode plates are wound via a separator accommodated into a battery container into which a non-aqueous electrolyte is injected. In the positive electrode plate, a positive electrode mixture layer including a lithium transition metal complex oxide is formed at both surfaces of an aluminum foil. A flame retardant layer containing a phosphazene compound as a flame retardant and a polyethylene oxide of a binder having ionic conductivity is formed at a surface of the positive electrode mixture layer. In the negative electrode plate, a negative electrode mixture layer including a carbon material of a negative electrode active material is formed at both surfaces of rolled copper foil. Ionic conductivity is secured by the polyethylene oxide, and the phosphazene compound decomposes when a battery temperature rises due to battery abnormality.
