Abstract
Abstract An electric cell comprises a positive electrode, a negative electrode and an electrolytic solution, characterized in that a positive active material of the positive electrode is a polyaniline, a negative electrode active material of the negative electrode is lithium or a lithium alloy containing 4×10 -3 to 170×10 -3 mol of effective lithium which is capable of electrochemical occlusion and release upon charging and discharging per g of the polyaniline used as the positive electrode active material, and said electrolytic solution is an non-aqueous electrolytic solution containing an electrolyte of more than 1 mol/l to less than 6 mol/l in a non-aqueous solvent.
