発が活発に行われている。Traditionally, secondary batteries using alkali metals such as lithium as negative electrodes have been made using various interlayer compounds such as titanium disulfide (T x S z ), conductive polymer materials such as polyacetylene, etc. A secondary battery is being actively developed in which LiCQ 04 is used as a positive electrode active material and lithium perchlorate (LiCQ 04) is dissolved in an organic solvent such as propylene carbonate as an electrolyte.

サイクル寿命を著しく低下させるためである。Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, there are still very few examples of this type of secondary battery being put into practical use. The main reasons for this are a short charging/discharging cycle life and a low charging/discharging efficiency (coulombic efficiency), which is largely due to deterioration of the negative electrode. That is, when lithium is used as a negative electrode, when lithium ions in the electrolyte are deposited on the lithium negative electrode plate during charging, it is difficult to deposit homogeneously, and dendrite (dendritic) lithium is generated.
Phenomena such as penetrating the separator between the positive and negative electrodes and causing a short circuit, or lithium depositing in fine particles and falling off, may occur.
This is because the cycle life is significantly reduced.

領域でしか使用し得ないという問題がある。For this reason, various methods have been proposed in the past for the purpose of improving the drawbacks of such negative electrodes, but these proposals still have various problems. For example, proposals have been made to use alloys of lithium, aluminum, silver, lead, etc. as negative electrodes, but in the case of lithium-aluminum alloys, although dendrite formation is not observed, repeated charging and discharging will cause the electrode (negative electrode) to Atomization and collapse of alloy α
Lithium-lead alloys have drawbacks such as unsatisfactory coulombic efficiency due to the low lithium diffusion rate in the phase6.Also, lithium-lead alloys have the disadvantage that the electrode collapses due to repeated charging and discharging.
In addition to being more aggressive than aluminum alloys, alloys with low lithium concentrations also have problems such as poor coulombic efficiency.
Silver alloys have a problem in that they have a low electrochemical alloy formation rate and can only be used in a micro current range.

When the terminal voltage is 2. When the battery was discharged to OV, 40% of the initial capacity could be discharged. On the other hand, half battery charge 1
? t (release of lithium ions) revealed that release was not possible. Therefore, it was inferred from this that the decrease in the capacity of the battery was caused not only by the deterioration of the negative electrode but also by the unbalanced charge amount between the positive and negative electrodes.

%, whereas that of aluminum foil is 92-93%.
This is thought to be due to the fact that as the cycle progresses, the polyaniline side is doped with anions corresponding to the difference in Coulombic efficiency between the two and accumulates. Since the coulombic efficiency was equivalent to that of polyaniline, it was confirmed that there was no decrease in capacity as in the comparative battery.
