Abstract
In a battery having a cathode in which a halogen is employed as an active material, the halogen is dissolved in an organic solvent such as a halogenated hydrocarbon, whereby the halogen is stored, and is utilized when needed. This battery can be applied as both a primary battery and a secondary battery. According to the battery of the present invention, a power required during the operation of the battery is reduced, whereby the total energy efficiency of the battery can be improved.
