The present invention provides an electrolytic solution capable of providing an electrochemical device (e.g., a lithium ion secondary battery) or a module that is less likely to generate gas even in high-temperature storage and has high capacity retention even after high-temperature storage. The present invention relates to an electrolytic solution which may contain a compound represented by Y.sup.21R.sup.21CCY.sup.22R.sup.22 wherein R.sup.21 and R.sup.22 may be the same as or different from each other, and are each H, an alkyl group, or a halogenated alkyl group; Y.sup.21 and Y.sup.22 may be the same as or different from each other, and are each OR.sup.23 or a halogen atom; and R.sup.23 is H, an alkyl group, or a halogenated alkyl group.
