Abstract: A lithium ion secondary battery is disclosed in which an electrode assembly is accommodated in a battery container, the electrode assembly including a positive electrode having a positive electrode mixture layer containing a lithium transition metal composite oxide, a negative electrode having a negative electrode mixture layer for occluding/releasing lithium ions, and a separator disposed to inner and outer peripheries of the positive electrode and the negative electrode. The lithium ion secondary battery being charged with a non-aqueous electrolyte containing a lithium salt, wherein the relation shown by the following formula (I) is satisfied: 0.57<b×c/a<0.60??(I) assuming the area of the positive electrode mixture layer as a, the area of the separator as b, and the porosity of the separator as c.

Abstract: Using a positive electrode active material including spinel type manganese oxide as the main constituent, a novel low cost and high output power flat type nonaqueous secondary cell for HEVs that has increased safety at overcharge, and superior storage properties and cycle life is provided. A flat type nonaqueous secondary cell that has increased safety and is superior in storage and cycle properties even though the cell is a laminate type cell which does not have a blocking mechanism can be obtained by blending the spinel type lithium manganese oxide of the positive electrode and 5 wt % to 40 wt % of layered type lithium manganese oxide, to suppress storage deterioration at a high temperature and to simultaneously achieve safety when overcharged, and further, by adding a Li compound having a structure as shown in Formula (1) structure, to suppress deterioration of a mixed positive electrode active material during a high temperature cycle.
