Secondary battery and method of manufacturing the same.

摘要

The anode (2) and cathode (4) of a secondary battery are constructed by assembling graphite in its form. By employing the graphite as the starting material of the manufacture of the battery in this manner, the disintegration of the electrodes during the manufacture can be prevented. The battery thus manufactured exhibits battery function once it is charged and thenceforth, each time discharge and charge is repeated, the electrodes switch between the states of the graphite and graphite interlayer compounds owing to their reactions with ions and release of the ions, so that a high battery performance is achieved.
