  • Publication number: 20040018432
    Abstract: The invention provides a battery with improved battery characteristics such as battery capacity and a cycle characteristic. The battery has a rolled electrode body obtained by rolling strip-shaped cathode and anodes sandwiching a separator in between. A lithium metal is deposited on the anode during charging, and the capacity of the anode is expressed by the sum of a capacity component determined by insertion/extraction of lithium and a capacity component determined by deposition/dissolution of a lithium metal. The separator is impregnated with an electrolyte obtained by dissolving a lithium salt in a solvent. To the electrolyte, carboxylate ester is added. Consequently, a film is formed on the surface of the anode, thereby suppressing a decomposition reaction of the solvent and a reaction between the deposited lithium metal and the solvent. By CO2 generated by decomposition of the carboxylate ester, the deposition/dissolution efficiency of the lithium in the anode is improved.
