  • the coating portion 222 is formed to cover the surface of the reactive core portion 221, and the coating portion 222 is used to reduce the reactivity of the surface of the core portion 221.

  • the state of the coating elements in coating portion 222 is not particularly limited, and may be a simple substance, a compound, an alloy, or two or more of these. However, since the simple substance may contain any amount of impurities, the purity of the simple substance is not necessarily limited to 100%.
  • the reason why the coating portion 222 contains the coating element as a constituent element is that the physical strength of the coating portion 222 is improved, and the coating portion 222 is more likely to be maintained even if the charging and discharging are repeated. As a result, even if the charging and discharging are repeated, the decomposition reaction of the electrolyte is suppressed, and the decrease in the discharge capacity is suppressed.
  • the method for incorporating the coating element as a constituent element in the coating portion 222 is not particularly limited. Details of the source of the coating element will be described later.
  • the separator 23 is an insulating porous film interposed between the positive electrode 21 and the negative electrode 22, and allows lithium ions to pass through while preventing contact (short circuit) between the positive electrode 21 and the negative electrode 22.

  • the fourth thiazole type compound is a compound in which two first thiazole type compounds are directly bonded to each other and the carbon-carbon double bond in each of the two thiazole rings has disappeared as shown in formula (4).
  • the reason why the electrolyte contains a thiazole-type compound is that the physical strength of the coating portion 222 is significantly improved due to the synergistic effect between the coating element contained as a constituent element in the coating portion 222 and the thiazole-type compound, making it easier to maintain the coating portion 222 even after repeated charging and discharging. As a result, even after repeated charging and discharging, the decomposition reaction of the electrolyte is suppressed, and therefore the decrease in discharge capacity is suppressed.
