Abstract

A nonaqueous electrolyte solution secondary battery according to one aspect of the present invention is a nonaqueous electrolyte solution secondary battery including a positive electrode and a nonaqueous electrolyte solution. The positive electrode contains a sulfur-mesoporous carbon composite that is a composite of a sulfur-based active material and mesoporous carbon. The nonaqueous electrolyte solution contains a fluorinated solvent. The fluorinated solvent contains a chain fluorinated carbonate, a chain fluorinated carboxylic acid ester, or a combination thereof.
