Claims15
A secondary battery, comprising:
- a liquid electrolyte;
- a positive electrode;
- and
- a negative electrode comprising an active material containing layer that contains
- active material particles capable of insertion and extraction of lithium ions, the active material particles comprising a niobium titanium oxide,
- polymer fibers having an average fiber diameter of 1 nm to 100 nm, and
- lithium-containing inorganic solid particles having lithium ion conductivity,
- wherein the lithium-containing inorganic solid particles include a phosphate compound,
- wherein the phosphate compound has a NASICON structure and is expressed as
- Li1+yAlxM2−x(PO4)3,
- wherein
- M represents at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ti, Ge, Sr, Sn, Zr, and Ca,
- x is not less than 0 and not more than 1, and
- y is not less than 0 and not more than 1,
- wherein a content of the polymer fibers in the active material containing layer ranges from 0.2 wt. % to 5 wt. %, and
- wherein a content of the inorganic solid particles in the active material containing layer ranges from 0.5 wt. % to 10 wt. %,
- wherein the polymer fibers are dispersed to form fine through holes in a mesh shape,
- wherein the liquid electrolyte is held by the mesh shape of the polymer fibers in the active material containing layer.
