The present invention relates to a secondary battery and an electronic device. The secondary battery includes a positive electrode active material which exhibits a broad peak at around 4.55 V in a dQ/dVvsV curve obtained when the charge depth is increased. The secondary battery includes a positive electrode active material which, even when the charge voltage is greater than or equal to 4.6 V and less than or equal to 4.8 V and the charge depth is greater than or equal to 0.8 and less than 0.9, does not have the H1-3 type structure and can maintain a crystal structure where a shift in CoO2 layers is inhibited. The broad peak at around 4.55 V in the dQ/dVvsV curve indicates that a change in the energy necessary for extraction of lithium at around the voltage is small and a change in the crystal structure is small. Accordingly, the positive electrode active material hardly suffers a shift in CoO2 layers and a volume change and is relatively stable even when the charge depth is large.
