Abstract
Provided is a novel lithium secondary battery including a positive electrode including a compound capable of occluding and discharging lithium, a negative electrode composed mainly of a carbon material which includes a graphite as an only or as a principal component, a separator between the positive electrode and the negative electrode; and an electrolyte solution of an electrolyte solute dissolved in a solvent including at least one specific cyclic compound. The lithium secondary battery has a large capacity, small self-discharge rate and excellent cycle characteristics and high charge-discharge efficiency.
