Abstract

A lithium-ion secondary battery includes an electricity generation element including a cathode including a cathode active material layer arranged on a cathode current collector, an anode including an anode active material layer arranged on an anode current collector, a separator, and an electrolyte. The anode active material layer includes graphite. When the battery is charged to 5 V, the battery has an excess ratio of 1 or higher that is a ratio of a specific capacity of the cathode to a specific capacity of the anode, and the separator has a thermal shrinkage of 13% or lower. The lithium-ion secondary battery prevents heat generation in an overcharge state and maintains safety.

Claims (21)
