Abstract
A secondary battery capable of improving cycle characteristics is provided. The secondary battery includes a cathode, an anode, and an electrolytic solution. A separatorprovided between the cathodeand the anodeis impregnated with the electrolytic solution. The electrolytic solution contains a solvent and an electrolyte salt. The solvent contains a cyclic compound having a disulfonic acid anhydride group (—S(═O)—O—S(═O)—) and succinonitrile. Compared to a case that the solvent does not contain both the cyclic compound having the disulfonic acid anhydride group and succinonitrile or a case that that the solvent contains at least one thereof, chemical stability of the electrolytic solution is improved. Thus, even if charge and discharge are repeated, electrolytic solution decomposition is inhibited.
