PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a safe lithium air battery which is small in the decline in electrolyte owing to volatilization, and is arranged so that the battery can operate with stability over a long period of time.SOLUTION: A lithium air battery comprises: an air electrode including a conductive material and a catalyst; a negative electrode including metallic lithium or a lithium-containing substance; and a lithium ion-conducting electrolyte in contact with the air electrode and the negative electrode. The lithium ion-conducting electrolyte includes: a lithium ion-conducting organic electrolytic solution; and a lithium ion-conducting gel polymer electrolyte. The lithium ion-conducting gel polymer electrolyte covers a face of the air electrode on the side opposite to a face which is in contact with the air. |
