Electrolytic solution and secondary battery using same

Abstract

Provided are an electrolytic solution that can allow a secondary battery comprising a silicon negative electrode to be improved in life and suppressed in an increase in resistance, and a secondary battery using the electrolytic solution. An electrolytic solution for use in a battery comprising an electrode having a negative electrode material containing a silicon element and a carbon element, wherein the electrolytic solution comprises less than 10% by mass of a fluorinated ether represented by the following general formula (1): HCF2CF2—O—R (1), wherein R is a fluorinated alkyl group.
