Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the spark of a battery by sealing the inert gas in a container of a sealed secondary battery. CONSTITUTION:A positive electrode 2 is formed, for example, by coating both surfaces of a collector 5 made of aluminum foil at about 100mmX300mm with LiCoO2 made of compound oxide of transition metals as the positive electrode active material 4. A negative electrode 3 is formed, for example, by coating both surfaces of a collector 7 made of copper foil at about 100mmX300mm with Li as the carbon negative electrode active material 6 having graphite structure, which can be doped and undoped. As a separator 8, a micro porous film at about 100mmX300mm is used. A sealed battery container 10 is filled with organic electrolyte 9, in which LiPF6 is dissolved in the mixture solvent of propylenecarbonate and diethylcarbonate at 1 mole/l of ratio, and the organic electrolyte 9 is filled between the positive electrode active material 4 and the negative electrode active material 6. Before sealing the container 10, air inside of the container 10 is discharged, and the inert gas such as dry gaseous nitrogen and argon gas is sealed in the container 10.
