To improve
charge and discharge characteristics. [Solution] The secondary battery comprises a positive
electrode, a negative
electrode, and an
electrolyte. The positive
electrode comprises a positive electrode
current collector containing aluminum and a positive electrode active material layer provided on the positive electrode
current collector. The positive electrode active material layer contains a
lithium-containing compound. The
electrolyte comprises an
electrolyte, a
solvent, and an additive. The electrolyte contains a bis(fluorosulfonyl)
imide salt. The
solvent contains at least one from the first group consisting of
ethylene carbonate,
propylene carbonate, fluoroethylene
carbonate,
dimethyl carbonate, and
gamma butyrolactone. The additive contains at least one from
lithium fluorophosphate, sulfinyl compounds, and dinitrile compounds. The intrinsic
molar ratio of the
solvent to
lithium ions, calculated from the vibrational
spectroscopy spectrum of the electrolyte, is greater than 0 and 1.78 or less.
