A secondary battery configured so as to comprise: a plurality of positive electrodes each including a positive electrode core and a positive electrode active substance disposed on the positive electrode core; a plurality of negative electrodes each including a negative electrode core and a negative electrode active substance disposed upon the negative electrode core; at least one separator; and an adhesive coated so as to have a substantially constant area density on at least one side surface in the thickness direction of the separator. The secondary battery includes a laminated section in which the positive electrodes and the negative electrodes are alternately stacked, having the separator therebetween. The area of adhered sections adhered by the adhesive is greater on the outside in the lamination direction of the laminated section than on the inside in the lamination direction.

Secondary battery

A high-capacity nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery having good load characteristics is provided. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery includes a positive electrode containing a positive electrode active material, a negative electrode, and a nonaqueous electrolyte. The positive electrode contains the active material composed of a lithium transition metal oxide and a positive electrode additive composed of an oxide that contains Li and at least two elements other than Li and oxygen and has an antifluorite structure. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery obtained is charged until the potential of the positive electrode is 4.0 V or higher and 4.65 V or lower (vs. Li/Li).
