Abstract

The purpose of the present disclosure is to provide a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery having excellent low-temperature properties. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to an aspect of the present disclosure comprises a negative electrode having: a negative electrode current collector; and a negative electrode active material layer disposed on the negative electrode current collector, wherein the negative electrode active material layer contains graphite particles A and graphite particles B as a negative electrode active material. The internal porosity of graphite particles A is 8-20%, and the internal porosity of graphite particles B is 5% or less. When the negative electrode active material layer is bisected in the thickness direction into a negative electrode current collector-side first half region and an outer surface-side second half region, the amount of graphite particles A in the second half region is greater than in the first half region.

Claims (8)

1. A non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising:

a negative electrode including a negative electrode current collector and a negative electrode active material layer disposed on the negative electrode current collector; wherein

the negative electrode active material layer includes graphite particles A and graphite particles B each as a negative electrode active material,

the graphite particles A have an internal porosity of 8% to 20% and the graphite particles B have an internal porosity of 5% or less, and

the graphite particles A are more included in a half second region on an outer surface side than in a half first region on a negative electrode current collector side in the case of bisection of the negative electrode active material layer in a thickness direction.

2. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the graphite particles B are more included in the first region than in the second region.

3. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein a mass ratio between the graphite particles A and the graphite particles B in the second region is 75:25 to 100:0.

4. The non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the negative electrode active material includes a Si material.
