Winding-type nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a winding-type nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery which is capable of minimizing degradation of charge-discharge cycle characteristics. The winding-type nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to an embodiment of the present invention is provide with a negative electrode that has a negative electrode current collector, an inner-circumference-side negative electrode mixture layer which is disposed, of the two surfaces of the negative electrode current collector, on the inner-circumference-side surface, and an outer-circumference-side negative electrode mixture layer disposed on the outer-circumference-side surface, wherein the inner-circumference-side negative electrode mixture layer and the outer-circumference-side negative electrode mixture layer each include a negative electrode active material and carbon nanotubes, and the carbon nanotubes in the outer-circumference-side negative electrode mixture layer have an average fiber length of 5-30 um, which is longer than that of the carbon nanotubes in inner-circumference-side negative electrode mixture layer.
1. A winding-type non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, comprising:
an electrode assembly having a positive electrode and a negative electrode wound with separators intervening therebetween; and
a non-aqueous electrolyte, wherein
at least one of the positive electrode and the negative electrode comprises:
a current collector; a mixture layer on an inner periphery side that is arranged on a surface of the current collector that is on the inner periphery side; and a mixture layer on an outer periphery side that is arranged on a surface of the current collector that is on the outer periphery side,
the mixture layer on the inner periphery side and the mixture layer on the outer periphery side include active material and carbon nanotubes, and
the carbon nanotubes of the mixture layer on the outer periphery side have a larger average fiber length than the carbon nanotubes of the mixture layer on the inner periphery side and have 5 μm to 30 μm of average fiber length.
2. The winding-type non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon nanotubes of the mixture layer on the inner periphery side have 25 μm or less of average fiber length.
3. The winding-type non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery according to claim 1 , wherein the carbon nanotubes of the mixture layer on the inner periphery side have less than 5 μm of average fiber length.
