[0004] In order to solve such a problem, a substance that suppresses a battery reaction due to a rise in battery temperature or a rise in voltage at the time of overcharge is added to a battery electrolyte, or a battery separator is used. Proposals have been made to stop the battery reaction by closing the opening of the separator when the battery temperature rises, but the addition of a substance that does not contribute to the battery reaction in the electrolytic solution inhibits the battery reaction, Or the possibility of reducing the battery capacity cannot be denied. In addition, the use of a special separator has problems such as a decrease in battery capacity and an increase in manufacturing unit cost.
