Abstract

A secondary battery negative electrode according to the present invention is provided with a negative electrode mixture layer comprising: a negative electrode active material that contains an Si compound; and a binding material that includes cellulose nanofibers having a fiber diameter of 9 nm or less and a conductive material containing single-walled carbon nanotubes having a fiber diameter of less than 4 nm. The content of the cellulose nanofibers is greater than or equal to 0.005 mass % and less than 0.2 mass % in relation to the mass of the negative electrode active material.
