Abstract: Disclosed is a highly reliable secondary battery, as well as an electrode and a conductive agent used therefor, which battery has a long cycle life and is also less likely to be damaged or rupture even when the battery temperature becomes abnormally high. The conductive agent of the battery electrode contains, as the main component, a reaction product between a ?-conjugated carbon material and a soluble polyimide, preferably a soluble block copolymerized polyimide. The battery electrode is formed by coating a composition containing this conductive agent and an electrode active substance onto a current collector. The battery comprises this electrode.

Abstract: Disclosed is an electrolyte for a rechargeable lithium battery including an additive for overcharge inhibition comprising a compound represented by formula 1; a lithium salt; and a non-aqueous organic solvent: where R1, R2 and R3 are the same or independently selected from H, CH3, C2H5, CH?CH2, CH?CHCH3, or a functional group with N, P, or S.

Abstract: A lithium polymer battery includes a cathode, an anode and a porous separator disposed between the cathode and the anode. A first polymeric electrolyte is positioned on a first surface of the separator in contact with the cathode. A second polymeric electrolyte is positioned on a second surface of the separator layer in contact with the anode. The first and second polymeric electrolytes use host polymers having different pH levels in an aqueous solution extracted using water.
