To provide a battery capable of obtaining an excellent electrolyte and
improved characteristics. The battery has a battery device where a
positive electrode and a negative electrode are laminated with a
separator in-between inside a package member. The electrolyte containing
a polymer compound synthesized by polymerizing a monomer is impregnated
in the separator. The synthesis of the polymer compound is inhibited by
existence of Cu, thereby a negative electrode collector layer consists of
foil including a metal (e.g., Ni, Cr, Au), which is not copper and does
not form an alloy with lithium, or Cu foil covering the above metal.
Therefore, even if the polymer compound is synthesized after fabricating
the battery, polymerization can smoothly progress and content of a
remained monomer can be reduced. This can prevent deterioration of
battery characteristics because decomposition or reaction of the monomer
is controlled even if charge and discharge are repeatedly conducted.
