Abstract
An organic electrolytic solution includes ethylenically unsaturated compounds which suppress swelling of a battery due to the gas produced when the battery is stored at high temperature or when charging/discharging cycles are repeatedly performed, and reduces internal resistance of the battery. Polymer electrolytes and lithium batteries are manufactured using the organic electrolytic solutions. The ethylenically unsaturated compounds are vinylene carbonates, vinyl sulfones, acrylonitriles or derivatives thereof.
