Nonaqueous Electrolyte Rechargeable Battery Having Electrode Containing Conductive Polymer

Abstract

A nonaqueous electrolyte rechargeable battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte solution. The positive electrode includes a positive-electrode active material that occludes and discharges an alkali metal ion. The negative electrode includes a negative-electrode active material that occludes and discharges an alkali metal ion. At least one of the positive electrode and the negative electrode contains a conductive polymer that binds the active material and provides oxidation resistance.
