Abstract
Abstract A nonaqueous secondary battery comprises an anode active material, a cathode active material and an electrolytic solution. The anode active material comprises a transition metal oxide, and the electrolytic solution is prepared by dissolving a fluorine-containing lithium salt in a mixed solvent comprising ethylene carbonate and at least one selected from the group consisting of chain carbonic acid esters, cyclic carbonic acid esters, cyclic esters, chain ethers and cyclic ethers.
