Nonaqueous electrolytic secondary battery and method of making the same

Abstract

A nonaqueous electrolytic secondary battery includes a negative electrode, a positive electrode, and a nonaqueous electrolytic solution including an electrolytic salt dissolved in a nonaqueous solvent. A polymer is added to the nonaqueous electrolytic solution. Also, a method of making a nonaqueous electrolytic secondary battery includes the steps of placing a negative electrode, a positive electrode, and a nonaqueous electrolytic solution including an electrolytic salt dissolved in a nonaqueous solvent, in a battery housing to assemble a battery; and charging and discharging the battery under overcharge conditions or applying a pulse voltage to the battery.
