| abstract |
An object of the invention is to reduce the charging overvoltage by using a positive electrode member which does not contain a carbon material that causes the generation of lithium carbonate (Li 2 CO 3 ), and which comprises a metal porous material, thereby suppressing the formation of lithium carbonate (Li 2 CO 3 ). The metal air secondary battery of the invention is characterized by having a negative electrode member which has metal ions occluded therein and emits metal ions, a positive electrode member which ionizes oxygen, and a separator which is impregnated with an electrolyte and disposed between the negative electrode member and the positive electrode member, wherein the carbon weight in the total weight of a carrier, a catalyst, and a binder constituting the positive electrode member is at least 50% or less. |
