Abstract

This secondary battery comprises a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte solution. The electrolyte solution includes a solvent containing water as a main component, and a lithium salt. The negative electrode has a negative electrode active material that includes a carbon material. The Raman spectrum of the carbon material, which is obtained by Raman spectroscopy, indicates that the peak intensity ratio between the D-band and the G-band (D/G) is 0.3 or greater. This secondary battery can suppress the reductive decomposition of the water-based electrolyte solution.

Claims (11)

1 . A secondary battery, comprising:

a positive electrode;

a negative electrode; and

an electrolyte liquid, wherein

the electrolyte liquid includes: a solvent mainly composed of water; and a lithium salt,

the negative electrode has a negative electrode active material including a carbon material,

the carbon material has a peak intensity ratio of a D band to a G band (D/G value) of 0.3 or more and 0.8 or less in a Raman spectrum obtained by Raman spectroscopy, and has a full width at half maximum of a diffraction peak of a (004) surface of 1.0° or smaller as determined by X-ray diffraction measurement, and

the carbon material is a surface-modified carbon material comprising graphite and an amorphous carbon coating a surface of the graphite.

2 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the electrolyte liquid includes a dicarbonyl group-containing compound.

3 . The secondary battery according to claim 2 , wherein the dicarbonyl group-containing compound includes at least one of succinic acid and maleic anhydride.

4 . The secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon material has a peak intensity ratio of a D band to a G band (D/G value) of 0.3 or more and 0.45 or less in a Raman spectrum obtained by Raman spectroscopy.
