Negative electrode for nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery and nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery
A negative electrode having a negative electrode collector; and a negative-electrode mixed material layer that is formed atop the negative electrode collector. The negative-electrode mixed material layer includes: a first layer which contains a first carbon-based active material, a silicon-based active material, a polyacrylic acid, or a salt thereof, the first layer being formed atop the negative electrode collector; and a second layer having a tap density greater than that of the first carbon-based active material and a BET specific surface area smaller than that of the first carbon-based active material. The mass of the first layer is at least 50 mass % but less than 90 mass % with respect to the mass of the negative-electrode mixed material layer, and the mass of the second layer is greater than 10 mass % but no more than 50 mass % with respect to the mass of the negative-electrode mixed material layer.
