Nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery
A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to an embodiment includes an electrode body, which is formed by winding a positive electrode and a negative electrode through a separator and then compressing into a flat shape, and a nonaqueous electrolyte. The positive electrode contains a lithium transition metal oxide which contains tungsten oxide adhering to the particle surfaces thereof. The negative electrode contains a negative electrode active material, which has particle surfaces coated with an amorphous carbon film, and at least one of polyacrylic acid and a salt thereof. The pressure acting in the thickness direction of the electrode body is 5×10 −2 MPa or more.
1. A nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery comprising an electrode body, which is formed by laminating a positive electrode and a negative electrode through a separator, a nonaqueous electrolyte, and an outer package, which houses the electrode body and the nonaqueous electrolyte,
wherein the positive electrode contains a lithium transition metal oxide which contains tungsten oxide adhering to particle surfaces thereof;
the negative electrode contains a negative electrode active material, which includes graphite, which has an amorphous carbon film, and amorphous carbon particles and at least one of polyacrylic acid and a salt thereof;
wherein amorphous carbon of the amorphous carbon film and the amorphous carbon particles is present in an amount of 5% by mass to 30% by mass relative to the negative electrode active material; and
pressure acting in the thickness direction of the electrode body is 5×10 −2 MPa or more, wherein the pressure is applied in a thickness direction of the electrode body by a member which presses the outer package.
2. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein a ratio of coverage of at least one of polyacrylic acid and a salt thereof on particle surfaces of the amorphous carbon to a coverage of at least one of polyacrylic acid and a salt thereof on the surfaces of the graphite having the amorphous carbon film is 1.2 or more.
3. The nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the lithium transition metal oxide contains at least one of tungsten (W) and zirconium (Zr).
