Original Abstract Submitted

A lithium ion battery includes a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and an electrolyte. The positive electrode includes a positive electrode active material. The negative electrode includes a negative electrode active material and a specific metal. A void is located inside the negative electrode active material. The specific metal adheres to an outside surface and an inside surface of the negative electrode active material. The specific metal includes a dissolution potential and a deposition potential. The dissolution potential is lower than a potential at which the positive electrode active material releases Li ions. The deposition potential is higher than a potential at which the negative electrode active material stores the Li ions.
