US Patent 7235335 Nonaqueous liquid electrolyte and nonaqueous liquid electrolyte secondary battery

Disclosed is a nonaqueous liquid electrolyte comprising a nonaqueous solvent, an electrolyte dissolved in the nonaqueous solvent and a macromolecular material added to the nonaqueous solvent. The nonaqueous liquid electrolyte is a fluid having a viscosity at 20° C. of 7 cP to 30,000 cP. The nonaqueous liquid electrolyte suppresses leakage, ensures high discharge characteristics, reduces the unevenness of liquid electrolyte, and lessens the change of electrodes and the change in battery resistivity.
