Abstract: A battery capable of improving the energy density and improving the battery characteristics such as cycle characteristics and high temperature storage characteristics. A cathode and an anode are oppositely arranged with a separator in between. The open circuit voltage in full charge is in the range from 4.25 V to 6.00 V. The separator has a base material layer and a surface layer. The surface layer opposed to the cathode is formed from at least one from the group consisting of polyvinylidene fluoride, polytetrafluoroethylene, polypropylene, and aramid.

Abstract: An electrolytic solution and a battery capable of improving cycle characteristics are provided. A separator is impregnated with an electrolytic solution. The electrolytic solution includes a cyclic carbonate derivative having a halogen atom such as 4-fluoro-1,3-dioxolane-2-one or 4-chloro-1,3-dioxolane-2-one and a cyclic imide salt such as 1,1,2,2,3,3-hexafluoropropane-1,3-disulfonimide lithium. Thereby, the decomposition reaction of the electrolytic solution can be inhibited, and the cycle characteristics can be improved.
