An objective of the present invention is to provide a lithium secondary battery which can achieve a higher capacity and a longer life without reduction in a lower voltage in the battery. In the present invention, a compound represented by general formula (I) described below is used as a cathode active material, and a compound represented by general formula (II) described below is used as an anode active material, n Li a1 (Ni x1 Mn 2-x1-y1 M1 y1 )O 4 (I)n wherein the M1 is at least one of Ti, Si, Mg and Al, the a1 satisfies 0≦a1≦1, the x1 satisfies 0.4≦x1≦0.6, and the y1 satisfies 0≦y1≦0.4; and nn Li a2 M2 1-y2 M3 y2 O z2 (II)n wherein the M2 is at least one of Si and Sn; the M3 is at least one of Fe, Ni and Cu, the a2 satisfies 0≦a2≦5, the y2 satisfies 0≦y2<0.3, and the z2 satisfies 0<z2<2. |
