  • Publication number: 20210226297
    Abstract: A thin lithium secondary cell includes a positive electrode, a separator, a negative electrode, an electrolytic solution, and a cell case. The separator is arranged on the positive electrode in a predetermined direction of superposition. The separator includes a resin layer. The negative electrode is arranged on the separator on the side opposite to the positive electrode in the direction of superposition. The positive electrode, the negative electrode, and the separator are impregnated with the electrolytic solution. The cell case has a sheet-like shape and covers the positive electrode and the negative electrode from both sides in the direction of superposition. The cell case houses therein the positive electrode, the separator, the negative electrode, and the electrolytic solution. The separator has air permeability higher than or equal to 20 sec/100 cc and lower than or equal to 80 sec/100 cc.
