Non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery

Abstract

The present invention relates to a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery (30) which includes: a positive electrode (1); a negative electrode (2); a non-aqueous electrolyte containing a non-aqueous solvent; an outer package (5, 7, 19) receiving the positive electrode (1), the negative electrode (2), and the non-aqueous electrolyte; and a current interrupt valve (14) which interrupts a current in response to an increase in pressure inside the outer package (5, 7, 19). The positive electrode (1) contains a carbonate compound, the non-aqueous solvent contains a fluorinated cyclic carbonate and a fluorinated chain ester, and the total content of the fluorinated cyclic carbonate and the fluorinated chain ester is with respect to the total volume of the non-aqueous solvent, 50 percent by volume or more.
