Abstract:
Provided is a lithium ion conductive composite electrolyte that can prevent leakage of electrolyte solution, and that have excellent cycle performance and lithium ion conductivity, and a lithium ion secondary battery. A lithium ion conductive composite electrolyte 1 is formed so that a lithium ion conductive polymer gel electrolyte is held in a porous body 2 formed from lithium ion conductive inorganic solid electrolyte particles and an organic polymer. The lithium ion conductive inorganic solid electrolyte particles are formed from a composite metal oxide that has a garnet structure, and is represented by the chemical formula Li7−yLa3−xAxZr2−yMyO12 (wherein 0≦x 3, 0≦y≦2, A is one of Y, Nd, Sm, and Gd, and M is Nb or Ta). A lithium ion secondary battery 11 includes the lithium ion conductive composite electrolyte 1 between a positive electrode 12 and a negative electrode 13.

Abstract:
Provided is a metal oxygen battery having an excellent charge/discharge capacity and cycle performance. A metal oxygen battery includes a positive electrode containing an oxygen-storing material and to which oxygen is applied as an active substance, a negative electrode to which a metal is applied as an active substance, an electrolyte layer disposed between the positive electrode and the negative electrode, and a case hermetically housing the positive electrode, the negative electrode and the electrolyte layer. The oxygen-storing material has the functions of, during discharge, ionizing stored oxygen and releasing ionized oxygen, and causing the ionized oxygen to react with metal ions permeating from the negative electrode through the electrolyte layer into the positive electrode to thereby form a metal oxide, and of, during charge, storing oxygen by reduction of the metal oxide. The metal oxide formed during discharge contains an amorphous oxide.
