Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A lithium-ion secondary battery having high capacity and excellent charge and discharge cycle performance is provided. A secondary battery having high capacity is provided. A secondary battery having excellent charge and discharge performance is provided. A secondary battery in which a decrease in capacity is suppressed even at high temperatures is provided. The secondary battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, an electrolyte solution, and an exterior body. The positive electrode includes a positive electrode active material. The positive electrode active material contains lithium, cobalt, oxygen, magnesium, and fluorine. The number of magnesium atoms contained in the positive electrode active material is greater than or equal to 0.001 times and less than or equal to 0.1 times the number of cobalt atoms contained in the positive electrode active material. The positive electrode active material includes a region having a layered rock-salt crystal structure. The electrolyte solution contains an ionic liquid. The exterior body includes a metal layer and a polymer layer stacked over the metal layer. The polymer layer includes a region in contact with the electrolyte solution.
