Abstract

An object is to provide graphene which has high conductivity and is permeable to ions of lithium or the like. Another object is to provide, with use of the graphene, a power storage device with excellent charging and discharging characteristics. Graphene having a hole inside a ring-like structure formed by carbon and nitrogen has conductivity and is permeable to ions of lithium or the like. The nitrogen concentration in graphene is preferably higher than or equal to 0.4 at. % and lower than or equal to 40 at. %. With use of such graphene, ions of lithium or the like can be preferably made to pass; thus, a power storage device with excellent charging and discharging characteristics can be provided.

Claims (24)

1. A power storage device comprising:

an electrode comprising an active material layer;

a separator; and

an electrolyte,

wherein the active material layer comprises an active material and a layer of graphene, and

wherein the graphene comprises at least one hole inside a ring-like structure formed by carbon and a halogen, and

wherein lithium ions are capable of passing through the hole.

2. The power storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the hole is a nine- or more-membered ring.

3. The power storage device according to claim 1 , wherein the power storage device is a lithium-ion secondary battery.

4. An electric device comprising the power storage device according to claim 1 .

5. A power storage device comprising:

an electrode comprising an active material layer;

a separator; and

an electrolyte,

wherein the active material layer comprises a first particle,

wherein the first particle comprises an active material particle and graphene,

wherein a surface of the active material particle is covered by the graphene, and

wherein the graphene comprises at least one hole inside a ring-like structure formed by carbon and a halogen, and

wherein lithium ions are capable of passing through the hole.

6. The power storage device according to claim 5 , wherein the hole is a nine- or more-membered ring.

7. The power storage device according to claim 5 , wherein the power storage device is a lithium-ion secondary battery.

8. An electric device comprising the power storage device according to claim 5 .
