Abstract:
A lithium-ion secondary battery of the present invention contains: a laminated electrode group formed of a rectangular positive electrode; a rectangular negative electrode; and a separator. In such a laminated electrode group, the positive electrode includes a positive electrode current collector foil, and a positive electrode mixture layer containing a positive electrode active material, the negative electrode includes a negative electrode current collector foil, and a negative electrode mixture layer containing a negative electrode active material. The negative electrode active material includes a silicon-based material, and a carbonaceous material. A mass ratio of the silicon-based material and the carbonaceous material is 20:80 to 80:20. The silicon-based material is a Si alloy or SiOx (0.5≦x≦1.5). The positive electrode and the negative electrode have a collection terminal protruding from a same side of the laminated electrode group. The negative electrode current collector foil is formed of any one of a stainless steel; a copper alloy containing a copper with a purity of 99.9% or more, and one or more kinds of elements selected from the group consisting of zirconium, silver and tin; and a copper with a purity of 99.99% or more. When a comparison are drawn between lengths of the positive electrode mixture layer and the negative electrode mixture layer in a direction where the collection terminal protrudes from the same side, the length of the positive electrode mixture layer is the length of the negative electrode mixture layer or longer. Thus, a short circuit in charging and discharging of the lithium-ion secondary battery can be suppressed.
