Abstract

In the invention, a lithium-ion secondary battery, in which a value obtained by dividing average 3% modulus strength of a separator by average 3% modulus strength of a negative electrode including a negative electrode active material layer containing silicon and silicon oxide as a main component is 0.079 or less, is used.

Claims (14)

1. A lithium-ion secondary battery comprising:

a negative electrode including a negative electrode active material layer containing silicon and/or silicon oxide as a main component; and

a separator,

wherein a value obtained by dividing an average 3% modulus strength of the separator by an average 3% modulus strength of the negative electrode is 0.079 or less.

2. The lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein an area expansion rate of the negative electrode after performing 10 cycles of charging/discharging is 9% or less.

3. The lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein an arithmetic average surface roughness Ra of the negative electrode is from 1 to 4 μm.

4. The lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the average 3% modulus strength of the separator is 2.5 N/5 cm or more.

5. The lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the average 3% modulus strength of the separator is 2.8 N/5 cm or more.

6. The lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 3 , wherein the average 3% modulus strength of the separator is 2.5 N/5 cm or more.

7. The lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the negative electrode active material layer further contains a binder, and a content of the binder is from 1 to 30% by mass based on a total mass of negative electrode active material in the negative electrode active material layer.

8. The lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 7 , wherein the content of the binder is from 5 to 15% by mass based on the total mass of the negative electrode active material in the negative electrode active material layer.

9. The lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the negative electrode active material layer further contains a conductive auxiliary agent, and a content of the conductive auxiliary agent is from 1 to 10% by mass based on a total mass of negative electrode active material in the negative electrode active material layer.

10. The lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the negative electrode further includes a negative electrode current collector having a thickness of from 8 to 30 μm.

11. The lithium-ion secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the silicon and/or silicon oxide in a negative electrode active material of the negative electrode active material layer is 90% by mass or more.
