Abstract

Provided is a lithium ion secondary battery including: a positive electrode having a positive electrode active material layer disposed on a positive electrode current collector; a negative electrode having a negative electrode active material layer disposed on a negative electrode current collector; a separator; and an electrolyte solution. The positive electrode active material layer includes a positive electrode active material containing lithium nickel composite oxide. The electrolyte solution contains a disulfonic acid compound as an additive. A mass of the disulfonic acid compound adsorbed on the positive electrode is 1.0 g/m 2 or less per unit surface area of the lithium nickel composite oxide.
