Abstract

Provided is a lithium secondary battery having both visible light transparency and flexibility. A lithium secondary battery includes: a positive electrode film formed on a flexible transparent film substrate and capable of intercalating and deintercalating lithium ions; a transparent electrolyte having lithium ion conductivity; and a negative electrode film formed on a flexible transparent film substrate, the negative electrode film being a metal capable of forming an alloy with lithium or capable of intercalating and deintercalating lithium ions. When the positive electrode film contains a lithium source, the negative electrode film is made to have a thickness of 50 nm to 300 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.
