LITHIUM ION SECONDARY BATTERY

A lithium ion secondary battery that includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, a separator, and a nonaqueous electrolytic solution. Among resistance values of at least three of the following resistance components: diffusion resistance of Li ions in the nonaqueous electrolytic solution; ohmic resistance of the nonaqueous electrolytic solution; ohmic resistance of a positive electrode mixture layer, ohmic resistance of a negative electrode mixture layer; reaction resistance of a surface of a positive electrode active material, reaction resistance of a surface of a negative electrode active material; and diffusion resistance of Li ions in the positive electrode mixture layer, diffusion resistance of Li ions in the negative electrode mixture layer, the resistance values at a position of a mixture layer nearest a current collector are smaller than the resistance values at a position of a mixture layer nearest a separator.
