When a simple mixture of copper oxide and copper sulfide is used as the positive electrode active material, two stages of discharge voltage are exhibited as is clear from the characteristics of FIG. This is because copper oxide and copper sulfide each exist in a separated state as particles,
This is because copper sulfide is preferentially discharged.
