Abstract

To improve an impregnation property of an electrolyte and the cycle characteristics, which have been a problem in the case of employing a casing having a variable shape. A lithium secondary cell comprising a casing having a variable shape, and a cell element having a positive electrode, a negative electrode and an electrolyte, sealed in the casing, wherein a compound represented by following formula (1) is contained in the lithium secondary cell: A1-X-A2  (1) (wherein X is a Group VI element in the periodic table, and A1 and A2 represent an aromatic group, provided that A1 and A2 may be the same or different, and may be connected each other to constitute a ring.)

Claims (4)

1. A lithium secondary cell comprising a casing having a variable shape, and a cell element having a positive electrode, a negative electrode and an electrolyte, sealed in the casing, wherein the electrolyte contains a non-fluid electrolyte, and wherein a compound represented by following formula (1) is contained in the lithium secondary cell:

A1-X-A2  (1)

(wherein X is a Group VI element in the periodic table, and A1 and A2 represent an aromatic group, provided that A1 and A2 may be the same or different, and may be connected to each other to constitute a ring), wherein the electrolyte contains an electrolytic solution, and wherein the compound represented by the formula (1) is contained in an amount of from 1 to 15 wt % based on the weight of the electrolytic solution.

2. The lithium secondary cell according to claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by the formula (1) is contained in an amount larger than 5 wt % and at most 7.5 wt % based on the weight of the electrolytic solution.
