Abstract

A secondary battery prevents a localized formation of dendritic metal zinc during a charging and increases a current efficiency as far as possible. The secondary battery includes a negatively active material of a metallic ion, a positive electrode, a negative electrode and a separator having an metallic-ion-permeable sheet, a plurality of projections formed with a nonsymmetrical shape on opposite sides of the sheet and a diffusing means for diffusing a flow of zinc ion current flowing around the projection, and the diffusing means is provided in a vicinity of a connecting portion of the sheet and the projection.
