Abstract

A negative electrode active substance particle according to one embodiment of the present invention, comprises a mother particle that has: a silicate phase that includes Na, Si, and at least one element selected from M, M 1 , M 2 , M 3 and M 4 (M is an alkali earth metal, and M 1 , M 2 , M 3 and M 4 are elements other than alkali metals, alkali earth metals or Si); and silicon particles dispersed in the silicate phase. The contents of the elements in the silicate phase are: 9-52 mol % of Na; 3-50 mol % of M, M 1 , M 2 , M 3 and M 4 ; and at least 25 mol % of Si.
