Abstract

PURPOSE:To restrain sulfur element from acting with cation and improve the self life of a battery by using carbon material containing limited sulfur element for the battery which is provided with a positive electrode, a negative electrode formed of carbon material with cation storing and discharging operation and nonaqueous electrolyte. CONSTITUTION:A battery is provided with a positive electrode 4, a negative electrode 5 formed of carbon material with cation storing and discharging operation and nonaqueous electrolyte. The carbon material contains a limited sulfur element. The carbon material is selected out of heat-treated carbon with high polymer such as polyacrylonitrile burned, various types of coke, graphite, and amorphous carbon such as acetylene black. The content of the sulfur element is preferably 5% or less for the self life of the battery. Almost no self- discharge reaction is caused by the reaction of the sulfur element with stored cation. It is thus possible to improve the self life.
