Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a lithium ion secondary battery enabling improvement of output characteristics at the time of charge and discharge at low temperature and at room temperature. A lithium ion secondary battery according to the present invention for achieving the above object includes a positive electrode plate ( 11 ) including a positive electrode mix layer, and a negative electrode plate ( 12 ) including a negative electrode mix layer ( 45 ). The negative electrode mix layer ( 45 ) contains a graphite-type material ( 42 ), metal oxide ( 44 ), and a conductive assistant ( 43 ). The conductive assistant ( 43 ) is a carbon material that does not dope or dedope lithium ions, and a mixing ratio of the conductive assistant ( 43 ) is 0.4 weight % or more and less than 1.2 weight % of weight of the negative electrode mix layer ( 45 ).
