Abstract

See full text

A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprises at least a negative electrode, a positive electrode and a non-aqueous electrolyte. The negative electrode has an active material comprised of silicon or a silicon alloy containing lithium represented by composition formula Li.sub.x Si where x satisfies 0.ltoreq..times..ltoreq.5. The positive electrode has an active material comprised of a transition metal oxide. The non-aqueous electrolyte is a lithium ion-conductive non-aqueous electrolyte having at least one lithium compound comprised of one of an organic solvent and a solid polymer. The negative electrode active material is formed by absorption of lithium ions into the silicon resulting from an electrochemical reaction between the negative electrode and a lithium metal and/or a material containing lithium. A secondary battery having high voltage, high energy density, high reliability, improved current charge and discharge characteristics and a long cycle life is obtained.
