The secondary battery according to the first embodiment includes the above-described separator. The separator hardly passes the aqueous solvent and can be thinned. Hence, the secondary battery according to the first embodiment can implement a high energy density and high life characteristics.
According to a second embodiment, a battery module is provided. The battery module according to the second embodiment includes plural secondary batteries according to the first embodiment.
In the battery module according to the second embodiment, each of the single batteries may be arranged electrically connected in series, in parallel, or in a combination of in-series connection and in-parallel connection.
An example of the battery module according to the second embodiment will be described next with reference to the drawings.
