Abstract

A secondary battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte layer. The electrolyte layer includes an electrolytic solution, a polymer compound, and a plurality of inorganic particles. The polymer compound includes a copolymer including vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene, and a ratio W2/W1 of a weight W2 of the electrolytic solution to a weight W1 of the polymer compound is from 2.5 to 50.
