Abstract

Provided is a sodium secondary battery that has visible light transparency and is excellent in flexibility. A sodium secondary battery includes: a positive electrode film that contains a material formed on a flexible transparent film substrate, the material being capable of intercalating and deintercalating sodium ions; a transparent electrolyte having sodium ion conductivity; and a negative electrode film that if formed of a material formed on a flexible transparent film substrate, the material being capable of dissolving and depositing sodium or intercalating and deintercalating sodium ions. When the positive electrode film contains a sodium source, the negative electrode film is made to have a thickness of 30 nm to 200 nm by using, as a negative electrode material, any of tin oxide, silicon oxide, titanium oxide, tungsten oxide, niobium oxide, molybdenum oxide, metal phosphide, metal sulfide, metal nitride, metal fluoride, or metal titanium composite oxide.
