Abstract

According to the invention, a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery including a positive electrode, a negative electrode, and a non-aqueous electrolyte is provided. The negative electrode contains a negative electrode active material, a conductive material, and a binder. When an average particle size of the conductive material is referred to as De, and an average particle size of the binder is referred to as Db, Db≤De is satisfied. In other words, the average particle size Db of the binder is equal to or smaller than the average particle size De of the conductive material.

Claims (15)

1. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising:

a positive electrode;

a negative electrode; and

a non-aqueous electrolyte, wherein

the negative electrode contains a negative electrode active material, a conductive material, and a binder,

the binder is at least one of a polymer or a copolymer;

0.5≤(Db/De)≤0.9 is satisfied where an average particle size of the conductive material is De, and an average particle size of the binder is Db,

Db is 90 nm or smaller,

the average particle size of the conductive material is 180 nm or smaller, and

the average particle size is a volume-based particle size measured based on a dynamic light scattering method.

2. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein

the negative electrode includes a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material layer,

the negative electrode active material layer contains the negative electrode active material, the conductive material, and the binder, and

a peel strength between the negative electrode current collector and the negative electrode active material layer is 4 N/m or higher.

3. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 2 , wherein a mass ratio between the conductive material and the binder is 4:1 to 6:1.
