Abstract

An anode and a battery using same as provided. The battery has a winding electrode body wherein a cathode and an anode are layered and wound with a separator and an electrolyte layer, which hold an electrolyte solution in a holding body therebetween. The anode has an anode collector, an anode active material layer, and a layer including silicon oxide. The anode active material layer includes Si or alloy thereof, is formed by a vapor-phase method, a liquid phase method a sinter method, or the like, and is alloyed with the anode collector on at least a portion of interface between the anode active material layer and the anode collector. The layer includes a silicon oxide that includes silicon dioxide, and has a thickness of about 50 nm or more. Reaction between the anode active material layer and the electrolyte solution at high temperatures is inhibited by the layer including silicon oxide.

Claims (21)

1. An anode, comprising:

an anode collector;
