Abstract

A secondary-battery negative electrode includes: a negative electrode collector; and a negative electrode active material layer provided on a surface of the negative electrode collector, and the negative electrode active material layer includes active material particles and amorphous carbon which covers at least parts of surfaces of the active material particles. At least a part of a surface of the amorphous carbon is covered with a film having a lithium ion permeability, the film contains an element M, and the element M is at least one selected from the group consisting of P, Si, B, V, Nb, W, Ti, Zr, Al, Ba, La, and Ta.
