Abstract
A lithium secondary battery with an electrolyte containing one or more alkai metal salts, one or more non-aqueous solvents and immobilized by a polymer selected from cellulose acetates, cellulose acetate butyrates, cellulose acetate propionates, polyvinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylenes and polyvinylpyrrolidone-vinyl acetates, the polymer preferably being used in an amount of at most 15% by weight based on the weight of the salts, solvents and polymer of the electrolyte system, with the proviso that in the case of polyvinlidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylenes, the polymer is present in an amount of at most 12% by weight based on the weight of the salts, solvents and polymer of the electrolyte system. The immobilized electrolyte does not cause problems with respect to leakage from the cell compartment and the elctrolyte also high conductivity implying a capacity utilization more closely approaching the utilization observed for batteries using liquid electrolyte. The electrolyte is also electrochemically stable.
