Abstract

A negative electrode for a nonaqueous electrolyte secondary battery, said negative electrode comprising a negative-electrode current collector, and a negative-electrode active material layer provided upon the negative-electrode current collector, wherein the negative-electrode active material layer includes a negative-electrode active material and a styrene-butadiene rubber, and the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the styrene-butadiene rubber in an area that extends 10% in the thickness direction from the surface of the reverse side of the negative-electrode active material layer from the negative-electrode current collector is higher than that of the styrene-butadiene rubber in an area that extends 10% in the thickness direction from the surface of the negative-electrode current collector side of the negative-electrode active material layer.

Claims (21)

1. A negative electrode for a non-aqueous electrolyte secondary battery, 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 a negative electrode active material and styrene-butadiene rubber,

the styrene-butadiene rubber in a 10% region in a thickness direction, from a surface of the negative electrode active material layer, the surface being on an opposite side of the negative electrode current collector, is higher in glass transition temperature (Tg) by at least 7° C. than the styrene-butadiene rubber in a 10% region in a thickness direction, from a surface on the negative electrode current collector side, wherein

the negative electrode active material includes graphite particles,
